But before the Wine Festival there is the...

2009 Highlandtown Basement Bar Tour!

4 hours of Drinks + stories + prizes = $20 and way more fun than a house tour should be.

How often do you get a chance to snoop around unique houses or relax and have a drink at each of the many Highlandtown gems? Get ready to learn real Baltimore history like: Al Capone lived here and once this house was a brothel - no matter what sparks your curiosity we have it all.

The house bar or club room has been a bastion of home entertainment since the 50's. Experience Highlandtown' s social sanctuaries from ultra mod to tiki'd out.

The tour starts at Schiavone Fine Arts historic basement bar, from there you will follow a map of homes in Highlandtown which showcases the surprising soul of this tight knit community.
