Peter’s Inn, the Fells Point restaurant that closed due to a fire in December, reopened on Oct. 2.

Located at 504 S. Ann St., the bar and restaurant — a staple of the dining scene for more than two decades — opened its doors after months of renovations.

In late December, a small trash fire in the middle of the night led to the closure.

“We’re just happy to be back at it,” said co-owner Bud Tiffany, who owns the restaurant with his wife, chef Karin Tiffany.

Peter’s Inn launched a GoFundMe campaign this summer that raised more than $22,000. Tiffany said in August that the money would be used to restock the kitchen and bar. Before the fire, the restaurant was set to celebrate its 24th year in business in September.

The bar is open 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with dinner service from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., Tiffany said.

They’ve hit the ground running — so much so that the co-owner, clearly happy to be back by his upbeat tone, had to end a short phone conversation with a reporter as he prepared for the night.

“I literally have trout in my hands,” he said.

Openings

Ejji Ramen, which has operated out of Belvedere Square Market since 2014, is scheduled on Thursday to open a second location inside the food court of Bethesda’s Westfield Montgomery mall, located at 7101 Democracy Blvd.The new location will be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Das Bierhalle, a German beer hall located at 9527 Harford Road in Parkville, celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 11. The bar and restaurant serves German cuisine such as sausages and schnitzel, along with beers in steins and glass boots.

Longtime Cross Street Market vendor Cheese Galore and More has relocated in Federal Hill. The new store at 1125 S. Charles St. opened in July less than a block from the shop’s former location, according to owner and founder Sharon Johnson.
