Charles Village just got a major upgrade with Dear Charles, the new hotel bar that’s quickly become a local favorite. The vibe is relaxed but stylish, with eclectic art, round wooden tables, and a drink menu that seriously delivers—think mezcal Ginger Peach Smash or a cozy Autumn Spark. The crowd is a lively mix of students, neighbors, and hotel guests, especially during the epic 3–7 p.m. happy hour. Tuesday’s bottomless mussels are a hit, and the small plates (like short rib sliders and shrimp tacos) are perfect for sharing. Anyone else checked it out yet? What’s your go-to order? #News #CharlesVillage #BaltimoreEats
