In late May, Townhouse Kitchen + Bar opened its doors to the downtown dining set, offering everything from American fare with Latin, Asian and Mediterranean influences to more than 40 beers on tap. Thanks to the table taps, you can actually draw your own brew without leaving your seat (you’re charged for the beer by the ounces consumed). The menu offers comfort food crossed with international flavors: think shrimp and grits and pollo picado tacos. A lounge area with leather couches, floor-to-ceiling windows and a big flat-screen, natch, makes Townhouse a great spot to eat, drink and hang out. Open seven days, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. 1350 Lancaster St., 443-268-0323. —Taylor Colvin
