The Federal Hill bar formerly known as Cowboys & Rednecks is holding its official reopening today as Wayward Bar + Kitchen, reports Baltimore magazine.The southern-inspired spot has been revamped with an upscale food menu and cocktail list under new management. โ€œWe wanted it to be a food destination, but also a fun place to hang out,โ€ Wayward operating partner Andrew Dunlap told Baltimore.

That sounds about right. The online menu features hearty pub fare with gourmet touches. The flagship โ€œWayward Burgerโ€ comes on a brioche bun with whiskey-poached pear and is served with โ€œhouse-cut rosemary-parmesan fries.โ€ The southern vibe looks to be well intact, by the way. Fried green tomatoes, grits, and succotash all make appearances, typically in inventive combinations.

Wayward Bar + Kitchen is located at 1117 S. Charles Street.
