2 Best Nightlife in Frederick and Western Maryland, Maryland

Ava Lounge A

brings cosmopolitan panache to Hagerstown. This hip little spot could easily exist in New York City. Sip sophisticated cocktails at the sinuous brushed-metal bar, or nosh on gourmet pizzas in a private room with mod white leather couches. The lounge hosts weekly open mic nights, live jazz and acoustic music, and a dance party with a DJ spinning on weekends. Be sure to slip up to the city's only rooftop deck where urbane pleasures meet the distinctly rural pleasure of a sky crowded with stars.

Frederick Coffee Company

At this intimate little spot that was once a 1930s filling station, one can sip a latte and nibble on a sandwich while taking in the casual, artsy scene. It's open weekdays 7–9 and weekends 9–9. Feeling inspired? Tuesday is open-mic night.
