From a" beer with the boys" to business meetings, dinners for two, to wedding receptions, our private dining rooms suit all ranges of events. Our restaurant and brew pub is located in an historic 19th century building in the heart of downtown Baltimore, directly across Pratt Street from the Baltimore Convention Center. We're just a short walk from most of the major city hotels, The new Hippodrome theater and the Baltimore Arena. We are convenient to the local museums, handy to Inner Harbor shopping, just a short fly ball from Oriole Park at Camden Yards and Raven Stadium. Both our food and our hand-crafted English ales have been lauded by international critics such as Bon Appetit Magazine and The Food Network as well as honored in Baltimore Magazine's annual "Best of Baltimore" ratings.

DuClaw Brewing Co. is a brewpub survivor, mainly because it takes as much pride in its food as it does in its specially crafted quaffables. At the same time, DuClaw doesn't forget that an interesting, changeable collection of beers is what sets brewpubs apart from ordinary bars and restaurants. Staple beers like robust Bad Moon Porter, Australian lager Kangaroo Love and pale ale Venom are always available, but you'll have to time your trip to catch seasonal selections like oatmeal stout Alchemy, Oktoberfest favorite Mad Bishop, Scotch ale Twisted Kilt and Belgian white ale Sawtooth. rnrnFood at DuClaw isn't an afterthought. Nachos, pretzel sticks or beer-battered onion rings are perfect for noshing and hoisting. Black Angus burgers and jumbo sandwiches -- like pepperjack chicken, a Cuban, Buffalo chicken panini and Carolina pork barbecue -- accent what's in your mug. Heartier appetites can feast on sesame ginger salmon, pork chops glazed in margarita lime sauce, honey porter chicken and tangy jambalaya. Kids get fish sticks, spaghetti or chicken nuggets, but they'll have to settle for a soda. rnrn-- Pete Kerzel, AOL Cityguide
