Atlas Restaurant Group is bringing one of Baltimore’s most storied taverns to downtown Annapolis. The Admiral’s Cup, a popular waterfront tavern known for live music and an energetic atmosphere, will open its second location at the historic Stevens Hardware building in downtown’s City Dock. The Admiral’s Cup is expected to open in Summer 2025.

The Admiral’s Cup has been a staple of Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood since the 1980s, offering live music from local artists, a vibrant crowd, and a welcoming environment for both locals and visitors. The Annapolis location will build upon that legacy, embracing the city’s rich maritime culture and nightlife scene.

“We believe The Admiral’s Cup will fit in perfectly with the surrounding bars in downtown Annapolis,” said Alex Smith, Founder and President of Atlas Restaurant Group. “With its waterfront location, live music, and vibrant energy, it will be a great addition to City Dock and a place where both locals and visitors can come together to enjoy great entertainment and food.”

The Admiral’s Cup will span both the first and second floors of the Stevens Hardware building located at 142 Dock Street, incorporating a renovation that preserves the historic character of the space. Guests can expect a rotating lineup of local musicians and a dynamic food menu and beverage program in a lively yet comfortable atmosphere that complements the spirit of Annapolis.
