The Horse You Came in On, Baltimore

The Horse You Came In On Saloon, commonly known in Baltimore as The Horse, is a saloon in Baltimore. It is the oldest continuously operating saloon in the United States, established in 1775.

The Horse was first called Al and Ann's when built. The name change did not happen until 1972 when it was purchased by Howard Gerber. Though there have been many renovations, the saloon retains the colonial architecture of its 18th-century construction.

The saloon is a popular spot for those on Edgar Allan Poe walking tours. It is believed the last place the poet visited before he died in 1849. A seat at the bar is marked as Poe's Last Stop.

The Horse offers drinks, food, live music, and special events. It is open from 6 PM to 1:30 AM on weeknights, from noon to 1:30 AM on Saturdays, and from noon to 10 PM on Sundays.
