Dock Street Bar & Grill, Annapolis

Dock Street Bar & Grill is a casual restaurant and bar located near the harbor, a short walk from the busy waterfront where boats regularly pass through an area known as Ego Alley. The building once served as the Annapolis City Jail and later became a restaurant and tavern that attracts both visitors and locals. Many people stop here while walking around the harbor or after spending time on the water, especially during the busy boating season.

The menu includes American bar food and Chesapeake Bay seafood such as crab cakes, crab chowder, steamed shrimp, and fish and chips. Burgers, wings, pizzas, sandwiches, and salads are also served. The bar offers bottled and canned beer, wine, and cocktails, and outdoor tables overlook the harbor and passing boats in Ego Alley.

Inside, the restaurant has a relaxed tavern atmosphere with nautical decorations, sailing pictures, and maritime memorabilia. The space has two levels with areas for dining and socializing. During the day, large windows bring in natural light, while evenings become livelier as people gather for drinks. Televisions show sports events, and on some weekends the upper level hosts dancing and DJ music.
