A new martini bar has come to Fells Point.
NeatFreak opened Aug. 1 in the former Greyhound Tavern space at 1822 Fleet St.
Owner Matthew Steinberg is also co-owner of the Meander Art Bar in Upper Fells Point.
NeatFreak is open from noon to midnight on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays. Arrive before 5 p.m. for $10 martinis.
“Come for a daycap or a nightcap,” reads a post on the bar’s Instagram page, “the martinis will flow and the vinyl is spinning.”
This once was Walter “Lucky” Stankowski’s Canton Liquor House, a Polish American club room in the shadows of Lemko House and St. Stanislaus Church, with a raucous and vibrant polka jam session on Saturday afternoons over 25 years ago.
The characters that made “Lucky’s” bar great were neighborhood locals, gritty but good-hearted Fells Point originals.
