Towson MD

Towson, Maryland, just an 18-minute drive from downtown Baltimore, is an ideal place to live for those working in the city. A busy community with an active nightlife, there seems to be always something going on. Towson University and Goucher College add an energetic, college town feel to the local area. Here are just a few ways to pass an evening in Towson.

Charles Village Pub

Just like the Phoenix, Charles Village Pub (known as CVP to Towson residents) has risen from a devastating structural fire in January, 2011 better than ever with a revamped menu and ambience to match.  Located in the center of historic Towson at 19 West Pennsylvania Avenue, CVP is a Towson landmark and local favorite famous for its mouth-watering burgers, sky-high sandwiches, and unique drink specials.

A popular nighttime attraction for local college students, Charles Village Pub serves a great meal at reasonable prices, but only serves libations to those 21 years and older with a proper ID to match.

Pho Towson and Bar

Located at 1100 Cromwell Bridge Road, Pho Towson and Bar is a great place to pop into for a quick treat or to start a night out on the town. Serving a variety of Vietnamese dishes complemented by a selection of creative cocktails and quality beers, this is a favorite of Towson residents.

Appetizers include fried mussels with a black bean sauce and a salted shrimp dish. In addition to the famed noodle dishes Vietnamese cuisine has become famous for, Pho Towson's offers rice dishes, such as chicken, shrimp or squid stir-fried with lemon grass, and an assortment of seasonal dishes. The cocktail menu features such drinks as the Wheel Chair, Momotaro, and Hawaiian Margarita.

Bahama Breeze

Custom cocktails and half-price appetizers are just part of the appeal of this East Joppa Rodd establishment. The Bahama Breeze atmosphere is fun and energetic, well complemented by great food showcasing the flavors of the Caribbean. Pulled pork sliders and Skillet Simmered Jerk Shrimp are just a couple of their crowd-pleasing appetizers.

They serve lunch and dinner, with entrees like their special Seafood Paella, Baby Back Ribs and Grilled Chicken with Cilantro-Crema. For something lighter, Bahama Breeze serves great salads and sandwiches.


If you're going to drink, please don't drive.  Jimmy's Cab Co. is a smart and affordable option when out for the night in Towson.  Call their local Towson phone number at  410-296-7200.
