Sports Bars near College Park

“Quickly becoming one of my local favorites in College Park.“

“From the moment I stepped into RJ Bentley’s for Happy Hour, I had no idea my life was about to change. But one bite into their signature dish, and it felt like the world stopped spinning. The flavors hit me like pure magic- buttery King’s Hawaiian rolls, juicy chicken fried to perfection, and a nice combo of ranch AND blue cheese on the side. It was as if each ingredient was a spell, cast to awaken my tastebuds from slumber.
Lugnuts I thank you sincerely.“

“Dear Mark,

As I reflect on my time at the University of Maryland, I can't help but smile thinking about The Rendezvous Inn, affectionately known to us all as "The 'Vous." What began as your father's business has, under your stewardship, become an integral part of the UMD experience for generations of students.

For over 60 years, you and your family have been more than just business owners – you've been a friend, a confidant, and a constant presence in our lives. The 'Vous, now Cornerstone Grill, has been our sanctuary. It's where we've shared beers, laughter, and those nervous first dates. It's where friendships were forged and memories were made that will last a lifetime.

Your dedication to preserving the spirit of The 'Vous while evolving with the times is commendable. You've taken your father's legacy and built upon it, creating a place that feels both timeless and fresh. The fact that Cornerstone Grill continues to be a beloved spot for students and alumni alike is a testament to your hard work and vision.

To my Theta Chi brothers and me, you've been more than just the owner of our favorite hangout. You've been a friend and a supporter through the years. Your continued connection to us long after our graduation speaks volumes about your character and the genuine relationships you've built with your patrons.

Mark, thank you for the countless nights of fun, the sense of community you've fostered, and for keeping the spirit of The 'Vous alive all these years. Here's to you, to The 'Vous, to Cornerstone Grill, and to 60+ amazing years of being the heart of the UMD social scene.

With heartfelt appreciation and fond memories,
Sean“

“Lindsay was such a great server. We never had to wonder where she was and she always made sure we were alright. I had the lunch special 10 wings and fries but substituted them for potato wedges. My wings sauce was buffalo hot and honey garlic. I also had a strawberry margarita and the bartender was also very nice. Food did not take long to come out at all. I would recommend and if in the area again will visit this location.“

“great service“

“Such a chill vibe, just really comfortable, my friend and I love chatting here during happy hour. Great wings and fries, quick service. Music not too loud, cozy but not cramped. We’ve had a great bartender and server twice now, Corrin, who is just so nice and attentive, super personable. Will be coming back again for another fabulous time.“

“I loved the space and went with friends all the time so I’m leaving a 5 star review. Everyone is really great and accommodating. However, for my birthday my fiancé booked me a swing evaluation. I’m not that good at golf but usually swing around 105. I wanted to switch from my strong grip to weak grip but it just wasn’t clicking when I worked by myself. I worked with Gaza, a golf pro there. The first 15 minutes were great because he was telling me how to do everything with a weaker style grip. I honestly learned so much and am excited to take my knowledge to the range to fix my swing. However, during the lesson he became more and more upset that what he was telling me wasn’t clicking, and that I couldn’t hit the ball well. By the end of it, he was verbally frustrated and wouldn’t look me in the eye or acknowledge me in any way really. I’m surprised that me not picking it up immediately affected him so much but maybe I caught him on a bad day. Not sure I want to go back now after that experience he made me feel really bad about myself.“

“From the time we entered the establishment we were greeted by one of the Regional Managers which is rare at some establishments. He went out of his way to seat us and would naturally just come over and check in with myself and my sisters. We were there celebrating my 40th birthday. I will definitely eat here again whenever I travel to DC again.“

“This is where it’s at pregame DC defenders“

“This is an ideal place to relax, drink, and chat. It's also a small business with a lot of friendly regulars. It's also an Ohio bar. The food is solid, but the atmosphere is really the draw. The person who is serving you or working in the kitchen is highly likely to be the owner.“
