We're very fortunate in that there are a lot of great options to meet single older women. The nightlife is very much alive and brimming with single cougars in Baltimore who are looking for fun.
If partying isn’t exactly your thing, there are plenty of other ways to meet them even out in the suburbs (I'm looking at you Columbia and Timonium). You might find some cougars walking their dogs or jogging as well as a ton of other spots. Either way, you’d never run out of luck in town when it comes to meeting older women. After all, we are in the most popular city in Maryland!
The Best Places to Find Cougars in Baltimore
We'll start our guide with a shortlist of our top venues and apps for meeting hot single Baltimore cougars.
Some of our readers may not have the time to dive into a long, 4k-word post just to decide where to spend the night. Some are also in the city for a few days and need a quick fix.
Either way, we got you covered. Here are our favorite spots/apps for busy people:
@RYEBarBaltimore
Rye has Baltimore single cougars by the score
To get us started, we have to recommend one of the hippest and most interesting cocktail bars in the city. RYE on Thames Street has gotten plenty of national press before, so we’re not imagining we’re telling you anything new. The fact is, though, it’s earned its reputation as one of the best watering holes in all of the town.
So why are we telling you about a place everyone knows about? Exactly because everyone knows about it. If you’re looking for single cougars in Baltimore, why not go where you know there will be tons of them? And unlike some overcrowded dive bars, you’ll enjoy the atmosphere and the drinks at RYE.
Dating apps are also really good for meeting cougars in Baltimore
One of the fastest and easiest ways to meet a lot of cougars is with the apps and sites below. A lot of single women have ONLY been using online dating to meet guys so you need to as well:
AFF is the best option if you only want casual cougar fun in BMore (try it free)
Some women want a relationship and others just want a quick fling. If you absolutely don’t want a relationship and you want to meet a cougar who feels the same way, try AFF (which has a great free trial).
On AFF, you’ll meet tons of singles who only want one thing: to get laid. But we’re not talking about rowdy 20-somethings. Most users on AFF are in the over-30 age range. So you’ll meet lots of amorous women who want to jump right into bed.
You won't find a better or faster way to meet a lot of cougars who just want no-strings fun than AFF!
Before you hesitate, you need to understand one thing: even average-looking guys score here. Unlike the other popular apps, AFF doesn’t focus too much on looks. People actually read your profile and try to understand what you’re all about. The site has been around since 2006, so you know it works for all sorts of people.
Try out AFF and meet a lusty Baltimore cougar tonight!
eHarmony is the easiest way to meet cougars in Baltimore when you want a relationship (try it free)
When it comes to meeting a lot of cougars in Baltimore quickly, especially those interested in dating younger guys, there isn't a better option than eHarmony (which just so happens to have a great trial). Older women are often just too busy to spend a lot of time in bars and clubs so many of them have been looking online to meet guys. In fact, a lot of them are ONLY looking online these days.
If you're not spending at least a little time on eHarmony you're going to miss out on a lot of opportunities!
Lots of dating apps and sites are out there (and we've tried just about all of them in our cougar dating site review). But none of them really deliver as well as eHarmony does. There are a few reasons why we think it works so well:
There are a lot of cougars in Baltimore using it
While there are more popular apps and sites out there, they just don't have the cougars. eHarmony has over 33 million active members and MOST WOMEN WOMAN on this site are cougars. There is no reason for a non-cougar to even consider signing up!
Instead of scrolling through hundreds of profiles hoping to find an attractive single cougar, especially one interested in dating both younger and older guys, they are all right here. It saves so much time and frustration!
A really good mix of Baltimore cougars who want short and long-term
eHarmony does a great job of attracting women interested in both short-term fun and a real relationship. The other top sites out there can be great but tend to attract a very specific type of woman.
If you haven't tried it out yet give eHarmony's free trial a shot. You have nothing to lose and you can't expect to get new results without changing up your approach. Guys who really want to find a cougar aren't going to be able to do better elsewhere (in our experience).
@HowlBaltimore
Howl at the Moon is where a lot of Baltimore cougars start off
Situated in downtown Baltimore is this favorite hangout place of mature women. A nightlife hotspot plays a wide range of musical genres that cougars love. They serve cocktails by the bucket, so it’s the perfect place to get your drink on.
Any time you combine classic music with good drinks you're going to get a great cougar bar.
Howl at the Moon plays a mix of 90s, 80s and modern tunes that you can dance to. Slide up beside a cougar on the dance floor and see how things go. No doubt you’ll both have a great time!

Be calm, confident, and non-reactive.
I repeat: Be calm, confident, and non-reactive.
A cougar will challenge you almost instantly, so be thick-skinned and don't explain yourself. Say "cool", or "ok" or even tease her back if she teases you about your salary or young looks. None of these things matter as long as you remain masculine and confident in yourself.

The Guide to Cougar Dating in Baltimore
Now that we showed you how to find them, it's time to tell you where to date those single Baltimore cougars that you like. You have so many options to choose from, but that will depend on two things:
The goal from the relationship: dating for long-term relationships slightly differs from dating for casual hookups.
The woman's blueprint or situation: No matter how good you are, some women just won't sleep with you on a first date. She may be shy, conservative, insecure about her body, or just can't find a babysitter for the night.
The venue will change depending on the situation... Here's how:
If you just want to keep it casual take her to a lounge
If your ideal first date ends in your bedroom, then hop for a cool bar or lounge. You want a cool place to share stories, build comfort and intimacy, but it shouldn't also be so noisy so you can listen to each other.
We prefer these venues for taking out fun Baltimore cougars:
- Magdalena Restaurant - 205 E Biddle St
- Sangria Patio Bar - 930 N Charles St
- W.C. HARLAN - 400 W 23rd St
- Cinghiale - 822 Lancaster St
- Blue Hill Tavern - 938 S Conkling St
- Tin Roof - 32 Market Pl
- The Cannon Room - Sagamore Pendry Hotel, 1715 Thames St
If you're more serious about dating her try a fun activity
If she wants to know you better before taking an extra step, then why not share a fun activity together. That will build comfort and lower her guards while also teach you one thing or two about her.
Check out these activities for a fun date with Baltimore cougars:
- The Walters Art Museum - 600 N Charles St, Baltimore

- Ultrazone Baltimore - 7835 Eastpoint Mall #110
