Towson's Smoke at The Point restaurant will become an event/pop-up space

TOWSON, Maryland — The Point restaurant in Towson – coming recently renamed “Smoke at The Point” – announced its closure after seven years.

The owners noted:

While we are proud of the work we have accomplished, it has become clear that the market no longer supports the same culinary habits and experiences that it once did. Over the years, we have witnessed significant changes in the industry, including changes in customers and customer habits. The effects of COVID, like fewer office workers and fewer happy hour crowds, have reshaped Towson’s dining scene in ways we couldn’t ignore.

The Point will serve its last meal on January 12, according to a Facebook post.

The restaurant is on York Road, just south of Towson Circle.

The space will instead be used for catering, event rentals and public events like pop-ups.

The owners added that they will be “opening a new event space in Baltimore, so this pivot and our catering company, Blind Tiger Mobile Bar, align perfectly with our long-term vision and goals.”

The Point also has a location on Thames Street in Fells Point.
