THE SHIP’S COMPANY CHANTEYMEN

The Ship’s Company’s Chanteymen have hosted weekly chantey sings in the DC area since 1996 and virtual “pubsings” from 2020-2022. All have the same format (you can lead the group in a maritime song, request a song, or ‘pass’ ie just singing the choruses or listening) and usually the same times (8pm to 10pm Eastern). No cover, all places have great food and drink, and a good time is had by all. More details on the Chanteymen Facebook Page.

1st Thursdays (except March): The Auld Shebeen Irish Pub & Restaurant in Fairfax, VA (https://theauldshebeenva.com/). Held 8-10pm in the expansive cellar, some of the pubsing patrons gather the hour prior to eat upstairs in the main pub, & drinks purchased upstairs taken down the spiral stairs for the pubsing itself.

2nd Wednesdays: The Anchor Bar (https://www.anchorbarbaltimore.com/) in the basement of the Admiral Fell Inn, in Fell’s Point, Baltimore MD. 8-10pm. This is a bar (ie drinks only; ok, a few snacks), but if you want dinner, lots of restaurant choices on the waterfront street the hour prior.

3rd Thursdays: we recommend Chanteymen friend Johnny Strumm’s pubsing at Limerick Irish Pub, Wheaton MD. Food & drink available. 8-10pm.

4th Sundays (except December): 2-4pm (note AFTERNOON, vice our other pubsing evenings), at Los Compadres Restaurant (https://www.loscompadresmd.com/), Ellicott City, MD. Food & drink available. A unique mix of excellent Mexican cuisine & maritime/tavern/traditional song!
