Rye Street Tavern will reopen July 15 with a Southern-inspired menu after undergoing a redevelopment under new owners Washington, D.C.-based Clyde’s Restaurant Group.

CRG has collaborated with Grizform Design Architects to revamp the two-story, 12-000-square-foot property at Baltimore Peninsula.

The restaurant and event venue features five dining areas, three bars, small and large private event spaces, a glass and green roof, and a 75-seat outdoor bar that overlooks the waterfront.

Menus will change seasonally and will include Southern-influenced cuisine highlighting locally sourced seafood and ingredients. Cocktails will feature Sagamore Spirit Rye produced in the restaurant’s neighbor, Sagamore Spirit Distillery.

As a Baltimore native, he’s as excited as we are to open our doors to this vibrant city’s local community and visitors.”
