Epicure

Who says hotel bars have to be boring? Not when you’re literally across the street from the action in Camden Yards and surrounded by 20 high-definition TVs that capture the hometown baseball action as well as sporting events around the globe. But the sports vibe isn’t the only reason to duck in to Diamond Tavern. Check out the menu, which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner choices, so even if you’re not stopping by to see a game, you won’t go hungry. Everything from the Chesapeake Benedict to the grilled citrus marinated chicken Caesar salad to the grilled filet mignon to the pan-seared crab cakes is appealing. For wine lovers, there are 63 vintages offered, with 25 of those available by the glass. And the gorgeous lounge makes a perfect spot for sipping a cocktail such as the Oriole or the After 9. Open seven days, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. 401 W. Pratt St., at the Hilton Baltimore, 443-573-8777
