Get fired up with eats and drinks within a high, tight-spiraled throw from the stadium. Whether you plan on stumbling into the game or just want a nice buzz to get the party started, we've compiled a list to suit all of your pregaming needs.
.8 miles: If there was an award for Baltimore's perfect pregame pit stop, Pickles would earn it again and again. To keep the tradition alive, head to Pickles for adult beverages, Wii Bowling and a mob of die-hard sports fans. If you tire of your fellow bar-goers' insistence on turning everything into a competition, take a time out at Sliders next door.
.9 miles: Trying to save energy for the big game? This casually classy spot will keep you off your feet, and leave you with a nice buzz and full stomach. If you're scared that the price tag doesn't fit your budget, you're in luck: Happy hour runs from 3-8 p.m., and includes drink specials and a half-dozen appetizers for only $5.
Matsuri
1 mile: If greasy bar food and booze are a recipe for indigestion, kick off the pregame festivities at this sushi joint, instead. Besides, who says you can't go in for football and fresh fish all in the same day?
Mother's Federal Hill Grille
1 mile: If an audience cheering "chug" is your preferred method of pregame, then we suggest you get the party started at this Federal Hill favorite. Mother's Purple Patio clearly has Ravens fever.
1 mile: We know the price of beer at sporting events is criminal. Why not save cash, and cozy up with one cup for a few hours? Enjoy Nobles bottomless possibilities on Friday for just $10, from 6-9 p.m. By our calculations, that would get you about a beer-and-a-half at the stadium.
Pub Dog Pizza & Drafthouse
1 mile: Enjoying some seriously tasty personal pan-sized pizza while double-fisting locally brewed beers sounds like the perfect way to prepare for victory.
1.1 miles: Toast your favorite teams with Oliver Ales brewed in the Ale House's basement. Luckily, if you're bored easily by one brew, you can choose from more than 50 others.
