What happened after Food Paradise?

Heavy Seas Alehouse paired the seafood-and-pub fare of Chow Down Meat Town's Baltimore stop with the house craft beers of parent brewer Heavy Seas Beer, pouring the label's ales alongside a Bank Street pub menu. The alehouse operated in the Harbor East/Little Italy area of Baltimore as a brewery-branded restaurant and taproom. According to Baltimore Fishbowl, owner Hugh Sisson closed the alehouse in late May 2018 to hand the Bank Street space to Blue Dog BBQ, a local catering company opening its first storefront there; Sisson said the move gave Blue Dog BBQ "a chance to realize their dream." Google Places lists the Bank Street address's business_status as CLOSED_PERMANENTLY, and Yelp's page for Heavy Seas Alehouse, updated 2026-08, is likewise marked closed, with no successor business name attached to the listing.
