Bar food is different from restaurant cuisine. Bar food is straightforward fare, more substance than flair. Think battered pickles and hot roast beef sandwiches. Cockey's Tavern, a bar with a handful of dining tables, does a good job dishing out solid, satisfying bar food. The tavern, located in a space formerly occupied by the Vietnamese restaurant Pho and, before that, Mencken's Cultured Pearl, pays homage to its West Baltimore locale. Black-and-white photographs of the area's old industrial buildings hang on the walls.

News of a closing is easier to swallow when it arrives with news of an opening. A new pub named Cockey's Tavern at Hollins is set to open as soon as Aug. 6 in the space that was the charming Vietnamese restaurant Baltimore Pho , which closed July 24. Jim Collins, the man who opened Baltimore Pho, was always open about his intentions. Not a restaurateur by trade, Collins is both a resident of and a developer in Hollins Market. Opening a restaurant in the long abandoned Cultured Pearl space was his way of bringing activity and interest back to the neighborhood.
