Blue Grotto is a pleasant alternative to some of the more “college-friendly” bars in Towson. A stylish and sleek bar, lounge and dining room set the stage for a menu of Greek specialties (kabobs and gyros) as well as good old American bar food (burgers and wings) served late-night. There’s a hardwood dance floor, too, which tends to pack up on the weekends. 7 W. Chesapeake Ave., Towson, 410-337-3780
