1. Ottobar: This Remington favorite is an iconic venue for indie and alternative music. It’s super intimate, so you can get right up close to your favorite bands. Plus, it’s a fun hangout spot even when there’s no show.

2. Rams Head Live!: Right in the middle of Power Plant Live!, this venue hosts everything from big-name artists to local bands. The multi-level setup means there’s not a bad seat in the house.

3. Pier Six Pavilion: If you’re into outdoor concerts with amazing waterfront vibes, this is the place. Pier Six brings in some pretty big acts, and the views of the Inner Harbor don’t hurt either.

4. An die Musik LIVE: A hidden gem for jazz fans. This cozy venue is in a historic townhouse and perfect for a chill night of live music and good vibes.

5. The Metro Gallery: Part music venue, part art gallery, this spot in Station North is all about showcasing creative talent. It’s got an artsy vibe and a great lineup of live shows.

Each of these venues has its own unique vibe, so there’s something for everyone depending on your mood or music taste!
