Family-Friendly Restaurant with Indoor Games

The Ropewalk Restaurant is at it again. Alley Oops Midtown is the newest addition to the Alley Oops/Ropewalk Family!

Where It Started

The Original Baltimore Ropewalk Tavern is located on one of the oldest streets in Federal Hill and dates back to pre-prohibition. In 1995, brothers Bill and Marc McFaul—along with their sister Linda in 2004—started renovating their collection of spaces and found various documents and relics from the early 1900s. Ten years later in 2005, Chris Reda, a real estate agent and developer, joined the Ropewalk family. Together, they have opened over a dozen successful businesses in Bethany Beach, Ocean City, Chincoteague Island, and Baltimore.

The summer of 2019 brought a new concept to the Ropewalk family: Alley Oops, a family-friendly restaurant with games and miniature bowling. Due to its success, 2020 brings the opening of the newest venue, Alley Oops Midtown.

Upscale Beach Dining

In conjunction with its sister location, Alley Oops Midtown serves an upscale menu in a family-friendly environment. We strive to recreate the beach vibes from our other locations in an indoor setting. This establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

Friendly Staff & Great Food

This was a fun experience! The staff was friendly and the food was really good! When I went to the arcade l, the claw machines were very fair! This is a wonderful space but the atmosphere was a tiny bit overwhelming. Nonetheless, had a great time and would definitely come again.

Awesome Fish Tank

Cool place to go with kids if it’s a rainy day, however, expect it to be packed! The fish tank is awesome. I would also recommend just going in for a drink and to watch the black tip sharks and hammerheads if you don’t have kids and happen to be in the area.
I am surprised they don’t sell stuffed animal black tip and hammerhead sharks with Alley oops emblem. Seems like a missed opportunity and something my son would definitely ask for.

Fun Games & Shark Tank

Love coming here. We’ve been to the uptown one but was closer to this one so we decided to try it out. The games were fun. Won lots of cool things. The shark tank is the kids favorite. I had gotten the tsunami burger and it was amazing!. I kids had gotten a cheese burger and grilled cheese and they were amazing too. The fries this time was not the greatest. You can tell they were sitting out for a while but still good. We’ll be back for sure!
