Pub 112 in Baltimore: A Sports Bar Built Around Local Crowds and Kitchen Hours
Pub 112 is a neighborhood sports bar in Canton that trades the dark-wood anonymity of chain establishments for a straightforward setup: a kitchen that stays open late, a menu anchored in wings and sandwiches, and a corner position that draws regulars on game days and ordinary Tuesdays alike.
What Pub 112 actually is
Located on the corner of Potomac Street and South Exeter Street, Pub 112 functions as a daytime lunch spot and evening gathering place for the Canton neighborhood. The interior holds perhaps 40 seats at a time, with a bar along one wall, a few high-tops, and enough flat-screen TVs to catch multiple games without craning your neck. It is neither a dive bar (the space is clean and lit) nor an upscale cocktail destination; it sits in the practical middle ground where neighborhood sports bars thrive in Baltimore: cheap, accessible, and built for regulars rather than destination traffic.
Food, drinks, and pricing
The kitchen operates a different schedule than the bar. Pub 112 serves food until 10 p.m. on weekdays and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Well drinks run $4 to $5 depending on spirit, and draught beer options include both macrobrews and a rotating selection of local taps. Pricing verification is advised for current beer pricing, as tap lists shift seasonally.
The menu centers on wings and sandwiches. Wings come in traditional bone-in portions, with sauce choices including buffalo, Old Bay, and house variations; a half-pound order costs roughly $8. Sandwiches (roast beef, turkey, Italian) run $10 to $14 and come with fries or chips. The kitchen also makes burgers and serves fish on Fridays. Appetizers like nachos and fried pickles sit in the $6 to $9 range. This is casual ordering at a bar counter, not tableside service.
How Pub 112 compares to other Canton and Baltimore sports bars
Pub 112's main competitor within walking distance is Nacho Mamas, which occupies a similar corner-bar position but leans harder into Mexican-inflected bar food and draws a younger, more social crowd on weekends. Nacho Mamas' kitchen also runs late, but its vibe tilts louder and more event-driven. For a quieter neighborhood option with deeper food ambition, Hersh's in Canton offers a full sit-down dining experience and a more curated beer list, though at a higher price tier and without the late-night kitchen hours Pub 112 maintains.
Compared to downtown sports bars like Pickles Pub or the Power Plant Live venues, Pub 112 lacks the capacity and multi-screen setup but gains in accessibility and neighborhood anchor value. Regulars at Pub 112 expect to see the same bartender twice a week; regulars at larger venues are anonymous.
Who Pub 112 suits and who it does not
Pub 112 works best for neighborhood residents watching a game with friends, Canton professionals grabbing a late lunch, or anyone seeking wings and a beer without deciding between a fine-dining experience and a true dive. The late kitchen hours make it practical for groups finishing plans around 9 p.m. The lack of table service or formal seating means it does not suit groups larger than 6 or 8, or anyone expecting reservations.
It does not work for visitors seeking Baltimore's craft-cocktail scene or a date-night atmosphere. It also has no kitchen service on Sundays, which limits its appeal for those planning weekend plans with late-night food needs.
What a first visit involves
Walk in during a non-game evening and order at the bar. The bartender will direct you to a table or high-top; there is no host stand. Order food and drink from the same counter. Pay cash or card. On game days, especially Ravens games, the small interior fills quickly and standing room takes over.
Hours, parking, and logistics
Pub 112 opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and noon on Saturday; Sunday hours begin at noon. The bar closes at 2 a.m. daily, though the kitchen closes earlier (10 p.m. weekdays, 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and does not serve Sunday). Street parking surrounds the venue; there is no dedicated lot. Potomac Street parking fills on game days, so arriving early or parking on adjacent Exeter Street extends your options.
Pub 112 holds its spot in Baltimore's neighborhood bar landscape because it solves a specific problem: the need for a place that feeds people late, charges fairly, and does not require planning ahead.
