Recommendations

My partner and I are getting married in a few weeks. We have a party bus taking ourselves and around 20 people from our wedding party to downtown Annapolis for some bar hopping. I think we’re getting there around 6:30pm. Any recommendations on bars that we could go to with a big group? Should we call ahead to a few places? I know around 8pm places tend to get more crowded especially federal House and those bars along there. (All of Choptank is rented out that night unfortunately)
