What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited this downtown Baltimore gastropub for its craft-beer-driven menu, sampling the Smoke Burger, wild boar sliders, pork belly mac 'n cheese, duck fat fries, and shrimp and grits, according to DinersDriveInsDivesLocations.com. Alewife operated inside a former bank building at Eutaw and Fayette streets, pouring more than 40 craft beers alongside its scratch kitchen menu. According to the Baltimore Sun, Alewife closed over the weekend of June 17, 2018, after announcing the closure in a Facebook post with little advance warning. A Yelp listing updated in September 2026 continues to mark the business as closed, and the restaurant's former website, alewifebaltimore.com, now returns a 404 error. According to WMAR-2 News, a Caribbean restaurant, Jerk at Nite, has since moved into the historic building.
"Brew-Haha" (S17E4) featured Alewife, a beer bar and New American gastropub that operated at 21 N Eutaw St in Baltimore, MD, across from the Hippodrome Theatre in the city's downtown. The restaurant offered roughly 40 taps of craft beer alongside a curated bottle list and a food menu, with an average entree price of about $25, according to a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives locations listing for the restaurant. A Yelp listing for the business, updated September 2026 with 609 reviews, marks the restaurant as closed, according to Yelp. Alewife's presence on both this episode and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' own locations directory reflects two separate television features drawn to the same Eutaw Street address. No dated news coverage or owner statement describing the closure's timing or cause was located for this record.
