The original Hammerjacks was a bar on South Charles St. It looked great – lots of exposed brick. However, it played loud hard rock and heavy metal music which is not my type of music. Then it moved to a huge old industrial building. Again, it looked great. The had concerts but mostly nothing I was interested in. I saw three shows there – Buddy Guy, Los Lobos and the Kinks. The building was one of the ones demolished to make room for the Ravens stadium which opened in 1998. Attempts to revive it have failed but a new effort is coming.
