Rye Street Tavern shines in Port Covington

Nestled between the Hanover Street Bridge and Ft. McHenry on Cromwell Street in the ever expanding Port Covington neighborhood, Rye Street Tavern shines brightly, day and night.  Lunch, brunch, social hour, and dinner – there is something for everyone’s taste on their diverse American themed menus. 

On my initial visit when they first opened, the waterfront view of the Patapsco River as the sun was setting was breathtaking. Whether from the bar or the dining rooms, that view was there for all to enjoy.   Though this is not the season to sit out on their lawn in their Adirondack chairs, they surely will be filled to capacity as well as the patio tables come the warmer months.  On my recent visit, as you rounded the corner of the building from their parking lot, the area glistens with string lights, brightening the winter’s night.   It is located next to Sagamore Spirit Distillery whose rye whiskey celebrates the resurrection of this Maryland tradition and is the inspiration for the tavern’s name.
