All Wayne Robinson wanted was a "nice place to open a bar." He found it, he says, in Locust Point. Banner's Bar and Grille opened at 1401 Decatur Street in August.
"Locust Point is a growing neighborhood and a nice place to open a business," Robinson explains.
The Catonsville native envisions his new restaurant as a favorite stop for area residents to stop in for a pint and some bar food, or take it up a notch and order a steak or crabcakes.
So, far the response has been good.
"We're just a patriotic bar with good food and good clientele," he says.
