50 Best Sports Bars near Silver Spring

“Absolutely! Excellent food and continuous service.“

“Burger is a burger is a burger. It’s what I need it to be! Food and drink and friends. This is a great local place to bring your loved ones.
Edit - My one qualm is that one time, my partner ordered a burger and while two of our burgers came out, he had to wait nearly 45 minutes for his. I’m still going to come back, but that was a bit surprising and disappointing and I hope that doesn’t happen again! I really like the atmosphere!“

“YUM! Ultimate Ham sandwich, FRICKLES, Starburst Shooter, and getting while you can , the ELLEN cocktail!!!! Great neighborhood pub with great service! You feel welcomed!“

“Loved it, will definitely go again! Highly recommend!“

“Fresh and flavorful food. I had tacos pollo. The platter was large with 3 tacos, black beans, yellow rice, lettuce, fresh salsa, crema, and guacamole. My husband had carne asada burrito and said it was the best he’s had outside of So. California.“

“This is my favorite place! I drive from Columbia to here almost every weekends because I love the vibe, the food, the drinks and they are very kind and professional and hard working. I love to support this business and I recommend it to anyone who is into Hispanic food and reggaeton! Absolutely amazing lounge!“

“Fun fun fun really good time here“

“Wings and salad! Also love the ribs. We are lucky enough to still have a Fridays in our neighborhood. Wish they had a better manager. Current manager is horrible, disagreeable and misinformed about specials and emails that we receive. He also has an “attitude!” We are often told that an offer does not exist and we have to produce proof from our email account.

Servers are very helpful. Unfortunately, there seems to be a “revolving door” when it comes to staffing. There is no consistency and restaurant is understaffed. quieter section where we like to sit is always closed.

Hopefully business will improve. We do not want this location to close.“

“great service“

“Arthur Atkin served us beer like it was flowing from the rivers of Valhalla. His presence makes this establishment shine. His swing is more powerful than couple from Utah. He showed me how I can swing like him. Love the beer, the golf and the servers.“

“Seven of us college pals from 45 years ago were in DC for a three day weekend. We booked a table at Bulldogs knowing that large parties can be tough to seat without a reservation. Being UGA grads, "Bulldogs" seemed like the perfect place to have dinner after a full day of walking around DC. While we were expecting it to be a bit larger, there was a table reserved for us and we had a blast. Made it in time for happy hour specials which we ordered with vigor. Four different pizzas (thin crust !) which all were good and we did not leave any slice behind. MO, our waiter and maybe the bartender also was attentive and did not show any regrets for having admitted us (ha!). The 15% off for Open Table booking was applied which made the the night even better. While the decor and ambience is not quite what other Open Table establishments might be, it was the perfect place for us. NOTE...dining is up a flight of stairs so caution to anyone not able to climb stairs.“

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

“Great spot for the Buffalo Bills games. Terrible service! Every time I looked over to order food or drinks, our server was sitting down on her phone. Super frustrating, took us almost 30 minutes to place a food order from the time we sat down.“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Johnny’s is the neighborhood gem you didn’t know you needed. It’s got dive bar charm with just enough flair to keep things interesting—think cold beers and a killer liquor list. The staff is friendly, the vibes are top-tier, and the bar food hits the spot. Whether you’re posting up for the game or popping in for a late-night drink, Johnny’s nails it. Fun, easy, and exactly the kind of spot you want in your regular rotation.“

“Limited beer menu for the size of the bar“

“Great place for cocktails“

“omg havent been back in a few years … came in today around 11am met some old coworkers … food and our waitresses were amazing … omg not sure who the one girl was but omg 🥰 she looked amazing lol“

“Food is really good. Good German style plates. Service was impeccable. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is extremely loud. It was, however, a Friday night and was a bar scene. If you like a good bar, that's a little loud, this is the place for you. If you want a bar/restaurant that you can talk at, don't go here on Friday.“

“Lil bro and a friend had a 90s vs y2k bday 🎂 party there and it was awesome! Beautiful bar. Great drinks 🍸 Big enough to hold big group without people being atop of each other. Want to go back on a regular night. Ck out again on my next visit to DC.“

“Great open mic, great beer and awesome Frenchie burger!“

“Big Mike’s Karaoke and what wings!!!!“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. Stumbled upon it after the concert at Fitzgerald Theater and it didn't disappoint! Great bartender staff, extremely welcoming and polite, definitely a must before and after shows anytime we are in Maryland again“

“For Rochester natives and upstate New York food enthusiasts who crave wings, beef on weck, garbage plates, and Zweigel's hots, and more. Sports & Social is nothing short of a holy grail. The news of Sports & Social opening in D.C. had us thrilled—and it delivers the authentic upstate New York food experience we hoped for. We had the wings which are nothing short of amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the medium heat sauce is fantastic. The beef on weck has the perfect weck roll, fresh and made daily in DC. The meat is from another of our D.C. favorites, 2Fifty Barbeque. One of the best weck sandwiches I've had. The vibe is welcoming, the service is fantastic, and the food is a game-changer. We will be returning this week.“

“Her is a standout, especially on a busy day. The energy is infectious, and the owners are visibly on the floor, mingling and checking in with guests—really refreshing and welcoming. Service is friendly and efficient, even with crowds, and the food is thoughtfully prepared and well-paced. A warm, lively spot that makes you feel valued. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Money well spent, waiters and staff were courteous. Food was delicious!“

“Loved this place! Food was great….awesome service. Try the shrimp wrap or pull pork sandwich and a nice cold beer. Can’t go wrong…..we are from Louisiana and tough critics.“

“Lecker - nur paar Gehminuten vom Capitol“

“great staff. good beer deals. above average bar food. lots of TVs. awesome deck“

“Five stars. Great owners and staff. Thanks for your long time commitment to the community.“

“delicious. service is otherworldly, unlike any place else really. only knock is limited menu, which on the other hand makes ordering really easy. elegant, simple, clean, and, most importantly, the pho broth is the best“

“Food was fantastic, waitress was friendly, and prices were spot on. I had the Mimi's Fiesta bowl and my husband had the Prime Burger. Both were absolutely fantastic!“

“Have you met Ruth? I might be biased because she’s like a favorite person to many, professional & makes everyone feel welcome. Anyway, go find out for yourself & you can revert here & let me know if I know what I’m talking about.“

“Excelente atención y servicios..Instalaciones impecables..“

“My husband and I went here for food and a few drinks! It was a great experience with a wonderful atmosphere, fabulous food, fantastic staff and a wide variety of drink options! We loved it!“

“Went here for the first time with my friends last night, everybody working made it a memorable experience! Isaiah makes the best drinks hands down and knows how to give top notch customer service. The owner was present at that time and he was kind enough to interact with us.“

“The ping pong tables as well as all the other games!“

“Very good. And I will be returning“

“Illusions is a must dine restaurant!!! I ordered shrimp and grits and catfish and grits!!!!!! After traveling to Pennsylvania and warming up my food……it was outstanding!! Being able to travel with seafood and grits for nearly 3hrs. This along with the flavor, portion size is just outstanding! My mom and I didn't want to finish it all so we saved half for the next day! And it was still sooooo good! The ONLY issue we only had a little bit left! So not only am I’m going back I’m going back asap!!! 5***** food!!!! So sorry I forgot to take pictures

Parking: Loads of accessible free parking!!! ladies you don’t have to walk far in ya heels! Well lit outdoor parking space.“

“I came here to get some drinks for my birthday with a bigger party of about 12 people on a Saturday night. My wife called ahead and they were extremely friendly and accommodating, they allowed us to reserve some tables for our party and didn't ask for anything in return. Everyone from the bartender, the bouncer, and everyone who works here was extremely nice. I cannot recommend jackpot enough! You really made my birthday feel so special and I really appreciate you all!“

“I am here for a conference. I had just gone on a 2.5 hour walk to /exploration of memorial park & was absolutely exhausted and wanted something in the hotel that I could take up to my room. I walked in, there were no tables in sight. Super busy. I ran into one waiter, Francis/Francisco, he personally brought me to the point of sale to put in my to-go order and told me to come back and ask for him. They had it ready in 30 minutes (a quick waiting time for how busy it was), and it was amazing. Francis was so sweet. I can’t thank him enough!!“

“Super friendly people real cool little bar great drink deals food not too bad!!!!“

“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.“

“Food was good, but the quantity was scarce. I didn’t get everything they offered though so that could be why. Didn’t notice much vegetarians or vegan options. Music was good, they tried to be inclusive. Bathroom was clean. The hostesses were attentive and prompt. There was a mixed crowd.“

“Great pub for watching NFL, NCAA, Soccer any sport! Great staff bar tenders, for bar food not bad. The beer is cold! Watched several games here, always a good time, outside seating, and also has a TV.“
