This recent comment came in on the last Pigtown thread.  Due to the overwhelming response to that topic previously, I was hoping those readers could chime in here as well and help identify any cool hangouts in the Pigtown area.  Please read the comment below:

I just moved to Pigtown two weeks ago - a friend from college recently bought a house there. Working in DC, I find the walk to the MARC station very convenient. However, where is there to hang out in Pigtown? Any restaurants/cool places to get a beer that are appealing? A nice coffee shop to read the paper on the weekend? A good brunch? I went to the local corner watering hole (Bob’s on the corner of Washington/Ostend haha) to grab a beer and watch the MD/Duke game and was accosted by prostitutes the second I walked in so I went to Magerks instead and enjoyed $1 Coors lights and company generally my age (28). I find myself always going to Fed Hill or Canton to carry out these activities,

Hey - thanks for pointing out a good place for to find prostitutes. I’ll make a mental note of that! Joking of course. Camden Pub too far?

I think Patrick’s of Pratt St. is technically in Pigtown. It’s right across from the B&O Railroad Museum and is actually the oldest Irish Pub in the United States. I’ve always heard good reviews, but haven’t been yet. Can anyone else comment on Patrick’s?

For a really great brunch, heck, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, try Shahrazad’s on Washington Blvd (7th block). And, for a great cup of coffee and muffin/lightfare, try Evelyn’s on Washington Blvd (7th block).

While not really in Pigtown Quigley’s Half Irish Pub on the corner of Portland and Emory in Ridgely’s Delight is pretty decent. Slider’s on Washington Blvd accross from Camden Yards is also a cool place.. they’ve pretty good food.

Nedworrd - I live right by Bob’s but haven’t had the guts to go in yet. Patrick’s is nice. Good atmosphere, but it is kind of small and they close early. Food is great but moderately expensive. Other than that, I usually end up at Federal Hill as well. Maybe that will change eventually…

Yes, please do come by Evelyn’s (I own it) — it’s a nice place to meet your neighbors. If you want to hang out in a bar, try Carroll Station in the 1400 block of Washington Boulevard. New owners, super nice, and good food/drinks. For the best cheesesteak sub, try Carl’s Little House at the corner of Ostend & Hamburg. Nick’s in the 800 block of Washington Boulevard has a really good fried fish sub and rotisserie chicken.

Patrick’s and Quigley’s are great, and Bobby’s on S. Paca is nice if you like jazz. I think he usually has a jazz band on Fridays.

For pizza, call Zella’s in Hollins Market (they deliver to our neighborhood) or walk up there. They also serve beer & wine. Really nice owners, and their pizza is excellent. There’s a new Vietnamese restaurant close to Zella’s, but I haven’t tried it yet.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
