Charm City Swing is Baltimore's "Best Reason to Go Out On A Monday Night"
Baltimore Magazine's Best of Baltimore!
MONDAY NIGHTS SWING!
Dance on Pulaski Highway
We ARE having dancing tonight (2/8/10). The lot is completely clean!
Location:
8014 Pulaski Hwy (Hwy 40)
This place has one of the best dance floors we've ever seen
There are no signs for this building! It's an ALL-WHITE building marked only by the fact that the space is shared with a liquor store. So, you'll see signs for the Liquor Store, but no indication that a dance is going on there, except more cars in the parking lot than you'd expect buing booze on a Monday night. It used to be called Little Texas, but now under new ownership it's called Club Baltimore but you're hard pressed to find the Club Baltimore sign anywhere near the building.
Yes, that makes it sort of cool, in a speakeasy kind of way. But also hard to find! Read the directions carefully! Or take a GPS. The address is correct.
Directions from Canton: Take Boston St or O'Donnell St East to I-95. North on I-95. Get off at Hwy 40 (Pulaski Hwy). About 1.5 miles down the road, make the first U-turn right after you pass Chesaco Ave (if you get to 695 you've gone way too far). Just after you make the U-turn, it'll be on your right, a big white unmarked building with parking spaces in front of it and along both sides. Park anywhere (except the handicapped spot).

(The neighborhood is a bit middle-of-nowhere-ish but totally safe as far as we know - Sommer and I have been going to this place for years and have never had any problems)
