Named for the Greek god of getting completely obliterated, “Dio,” as Mount Vernon locals call it, caters to a jocular and hard-drinking clientele, offering wing nights, Ravens specials, Mexican night and all-day happy hour every Sunday. But it also capitalizes on its proximity to the University of Baltimore, drawing in young boozers with an affordable menu, monthly art openings and live music two nights a week.

Quality craft beers and wines by the glass chill on the drink list alongside wallet-friendly cans of Natty Boh and PBR. In addition to the all-day Sundays, happy hour is 4–7 PM daily, with extra deals from 10:30 PM–close on Thursday eves (8 E. Preston St.; 410-244-1020).
