Fell's Point is a historic waterfront
neighborhood, established in about 1763, in the southeastern area of the
City of Baltimore, in
Maryland, along the north shore of the
Baltimore Harbor and the Northwest Branch of the
Patapsco River. There are many shops, including antique stores, restaurants, coffee bars, music stores, a municipal markethouse with individual stalls, and over 120 pubs. Located just east of the famous "
Inner Harbor" (formerly referred to as "The Basin") adjacent to Baltimore's downtown central business district and the
Jones Falls stream (which splits the city, running from northern
Baltimore County), Fell's Point has a maritime past and the air of a seafaring town. It also has the greatest concentration of drinking establishments and restaurants in the city.
