The bar was crafted from steel, wood and marble recycled from old buildings torn down around
Baltimore and Washington. The wood around the tiles comes from old barns that Nicolas tore
down himself. He recycled the windows and light fixtures from an old church in the Washington
area. The beautiful handcrafted tables are made from hardwood floorings and beams. The
materials used came from various sites such on the Francis Scott Key highway, Canton, Locust
Point and Fells Point. The bricks, both inside and outside date back to the 1820s. Nicolas himself
carefully removed many from old beautiful buildings. The marble on the bathroom floors came
from the Congress Hotel on Franklin Street. The extremely large and heavy bathroom doors came
from the Munsey building. The restaurant’s patio has an open grill and Mexican music
background. The benches surrounding the patio and the grotto” come from an old Catholic church
on Calvert Street.   

Over ten thousand man hours of restoration and renovation was put into Arcos to create a hand-
crafted hand-made atmosphere that everyone can admire. We hope you come see us and bring
your friends. Since its opening, Arcos has catered many parties including Baltimore’s famous
Green Week
