The Corner Pub

Why am I not surprised this place closed down, it sucked, I went twice with a buddy of mine, the first time the bartender chick didn’t even acknowledge us at all, so got tired of waiting and left. We decided to give it one more try, that time the same crappy bartender unfortunately grated us after taking her sweet time, took our order but with such a peach attitude (yes, that was sarcasm), we didn’t feel like dealing with it so we left.
This is the 3^rd business to take over that location, and it also didn’t survive, there must be something off with that place.

Mediocre, bartender got an attitude when I asked for gentlman jack. They didnt have it so then I asked for just jack.

Wings were mediocre. Bartenders were friendly enough. However this review is of the place as music venue.
The manager was grumpy before we even started playing– warning us not to be too loud. That’s fine and somewhat reasonable except the room is an echo chamber with zero sound proofing, so music (mostly drums) bounces off the walls. Not sure why you would book a rock band at this place (we had never been there before to know any better). Regardless we did our best to find an acceptable balance (we had to run sound ourselves) despite the manager sending the bar staff out repeatedly to rudely tell us to turn down midsong. Eventually we got it right and the patrons seemed to enjoy the rest of the evening with plenty of people dancing. Ironically when we we were done they put the jukebox on (the place was still open mind you) and cranked it way louder than we had played.
In the end, despite performing the entire evening, running sound, and putting up with a grumpy manager, they refused to pay us.
I’ve never written a Unilocal review before but this place deserves the bad review. Bands this place sucks. It’s a sports bar trying to make extra money by having bands but they have no clue how to operate as a music venue. And by not paying and fulfilling their end of the contract you can see the type of people you’re dealing with. Even if you’re just a customer it’s good to know who you’re giving money to.
Avoid.

Stopped off here after calling and asking if they were showing the DC united game, they were very accommodating. Unfortunately the satellite was having issues and the game was unwatchable, but it was not their fault. Instead we watched the redskins game. Service was very good, beer was delish, and the wings were very very good. It was a Sunday around 3pm and not too crowded — a far cry from the Pour House — that place is a zoo! I’ll definitely be back here.

Great place to watch games! Fun atmosphere and very clean and open! Good was delicious!

Transplanted New Yorker who was really just looking for a place to watch the Mets-​Nats game. Sat at the bar and settled in just in time for the first pitch but the picture was scrambled. Didn’t correct itself until the sun went down about 40 minutes later. Rough start but to no fault of the staff. The bartender made an immediate and strong effort to correct it but was unsuccessful. Maybe they need to re-​position the dish or something. Anyway, our bartender was very nice and attentive. Also came on half-​priced pizza night so that was a plus. The Pizza and wings were terrific. The other bartender had a sarcastic wit that I quite enjoyed. It’s a nice place to grab a cheap drink (or 10), throw down some good eats, and enjoy a friendly environment. Curious what it is like on football day. Guess I’ll find out soon.

I waited 5 minutes for someone to come to my table and get me a drink. I was asked once if I needed anything else. Now I am writing this review while I’ve been waiting 10 minutes to get my check. The bar has maybe 15 people in it. It is nowhere near busy. I smiled at a waitress to get her attention and she made eye contact with me and completely ignored me. AWFUL SERVICE.

Reasons for 5 stars: Cheap drinks. Comfortable location. Decent food. Uno cards. Grilled chicken wings. Nice outdoor seating. Laid back vibe.
Room for improvement: Music. How damn cold it is in there. Bar tenders could be more attentive.
Overall, I am very grateful that there is a nice, not overly crowded location to sit, have a drink, order food, and hang out with my friends in the area. Plus they have board games to play.

The wings are absol delish! We got them grilled with a teriyaki sauce. I’m looking forward to trying the Old Bay Lime next time!
The pizza was yummy too! Square and thin crust with fresh ingredients — FTW
Football season is sure to find the bar packed! TVs everywhere, friendly staff, easy parking, and good food for a reasonable price. What’s not to love?

I like this place the second time I went more than the first. The service is friendly but sometimes confused. They were good though. I had the grilled cheese with bacon and it was decadently yummy. They’re dance floor is nice and big but they need better bands and Djs.

Stopped by for lunch, place was empty. Service was excellent. Food took a while to come out and was the definition of mediocre.
Looks like it would be a great place to watch football and drink a few beers though.

I’ve tried this place a few times. It’s always dead, regardless of when you go.
Gave it a try last night (Saturday) since they had a band. We found parking easily considering however had to walk over shards of glass to get to the steps of the bar. I’m sure the busted/​fallen street light is not their issue, but if you care about your patrons you at least clean up the glass and make the walking area in front of your steps (that lead to your bar) inviting. Especially since it’s summer and most people are wearing open toed shoes.
As soon as we walked in, I thought let’s turn around since they had maybe 20 people there. We didn’t. Went to the bar and were ignored for a bit. Settled on getting a bucket of beers. (Which are a deal — so that’s a plus) The bartender was very consumed with talking to her friends so people around us waited unnecessarily for drinks. It’s a good thing they were slow, cause she stumbled on simple requests like «sambuca up». It was really funny since she wanted to get annoyed with the bar guests but couldn’t. Her saltiness showed all over her face though.
We arrived and the band was on break. They did not have any music so you could just hear random chatter. We thought that was really inconsiderate considering it’s a Saturday night. People want to listen to some kind of music at the place they are hanging. Super bartender (not) got snippy when we requested music and said they don’t coordinate band breaks with the juke box. Which is a rookie move, considering ALL the neighboring bars do. She went on to mumble something about they pay the band. Which who cares, really. Due to our questions about the lack of music (the band took a 30 minute break and it was silent, with the exceptions of her conversations with her bartender friend — talking about the bar guests). The bartender with a snippy tone and sarcastic attitude said «do you want to close out»? Hilarious considering we had 2 full beers in the bucket, when she ran the card. She didn’t ask if me and my friends IF we wanted the bill on the card or anything. She threw the check provider down as the band was finally coming on. The band was good but we left shortly after.
Fyi:
there are too many bars for
1) poor service
2) no music for 30 minutes
3) no environment — no one was there!
4) bad attitudes — you are a local place that is struggling. You should take some pointers from Growlers.
In my 2 previous trips I had food (which is ok — nothing id crave). No food this time.
No more chances will be given to this place.

I can’t wait for football season. Didn’t have a chance to try their beer but will next time.
Nachos needed cheese, the chicken was good the chips too.
Pizza was good. As soon as it came out I expected Ledo’s deft not that quality. I do think the sauce needed something but it wasn’t bad. You definitely get your money’s worth.
Service was excellent. This place has potential. I will definitely come back.
Overall I think the food can improve and with the current set up this place can be the place! It’s very clean.

I am so happy that there is a place where I can go that is low key and just enjoy spending time with friends and eating decent food for a good price. I’ve been to this place 3 times now, and each the the food was good, price was good, but the service is awful. Each time that i came, the server forgot to put our full orders in/​the appetizers came out last/we’d have to wait 20mins just to have a menu. Very disorganized on that part, which makes me sad because I love supporting local business and I really want to see this place last a long time. I want to keep coming back, but i just want the service to improve.
Please Randy if you are reading this, hire more servers/​more experienced ones.
Last time was really sad. We were a large group and there was only one server on the floor, the place was pretty empty so she only had like 7 tables, but you could see she was overwhelmed. She didn’t give us our menus until the 3^rd time i came up to the front to ask for them 20mins after arriving we ended up order beers from the bar because she took way too long. When she finally came back to ask if we wanted anything to eat she took half our orders and was about to walk away, I had to stop her and ask if she could take the rest of the tables order. Half of the table got there food the other half «she forgot to put the order in» or «the Kitchen is backed up» but there were only 7 tables and we were the 1^st table to get there. 3 hours later she started bringing out the check and one girl just got her food to.
I’m really sad to post this but please work on the service above all else. Everyone who works there is EXTREEMLY friendly but not good at serving in a timely fashion.
I will keep coming back to support this local business, and to see this place only improve from here!

Came here with some friends on saturday and i gotta say for a few weeks open this place was awsome alot of TVs. bartenders were friendly, this place has alot of potential to be the hottest spot in the area. not to mention the owner i think his name was randy was a great guy.. Very friendly and awsome to talk to. i think this is gonna be a very popular place to go drink and hang out.

Reputation of the owner and his wife is so
bad from Four Corners I was reluctant to try
Not worth it. do like the bartender though

This place blows. Nothing to recommend. Pizza microwave quality, wings small and tasteless, and beer selection limited. Be very afraid and spend your money elsewhere.

I came here on Saturday night around 9 pm with my sister and her friend. First it was impossible to find parking. We had read online that it was their opening night and would have live music and some specials. When we got there, many people were outside and we walked to the hostess stand. The hostess looked at us and said «Um, I’m not sure if there are tables in the back. Let me check.»
She came back and led us to the back where the lights were dimmed and it was very loud with the band and chatter from the other customers. Some people were dancing on the dance floor. We waiting a few minutes and someone came by to take our order but it was like shouting match to see who was loud enough for her to hear our order. She was very nice and answered our questions.
My sister’s friend order: Nachos Nico hand cut corn tortillas w/​Pico de Gallo 3.5
My sister and I ordered to share:
— Basket Fries with homemade chili/​bacon/​cheese 7.9
— NachosMegaGrande nicos with spiced ground beef, cilantro, scallion, jalapeño, sour cream 7.9
— Quesadillas 4 cheese blend with chicken 7.9
When the food came out, we got the fries first and they were nice and hot, but I felt like they were missing something. My sister finally realize that there wasn’t any chili and we ask the runner who brought our nachos and quesadillas to bring us some chili. The chili made it a lot better, but it wasn’t anything special. The nachos were small for a MEGA GRANDE and it didn’t have a lot of toppings on it. If there were a lot of topping it was probably covered by the big chunks of lettuce and tomatoes that were taking up half the nachos. But the best thing on the table were the Quesadillas. They were hot and tender with lots of flavor. The cheese was melted just right and you could definitely taste the grill chicken. I ate most of the plate and forgot to share.
The Nachos Nico that my sister’s friend got came with a big basket of chips and a little dish of Pico. The Pico was tasty but was hard to pick up with the chips because it was a little watery and fine cut.
To be honest after we ate everything I was ready to go. It was loud and hot. When I came back from the restroom, my eyes were all watery and I knew it was cigarette smoke. My sister and I are very allergic and they had the doors open because how hot it was and there were people standing by the doors smoking. We tried moving to the bar area but that wasn’t much better because the front doors were open and people were smoking there too. So we left because by then we were both choking and having a hard time breathing.
I will probably not be back, but if you are coming to drink and listen to music it may do the trick.

I decided to come here since it is new and close to my brother house. After arriving here we waited by the host stand for about 10 minutes before they told us to sit wherever we want. So we choose to sit at the bar thinking it would be good since they have «so many beers on draft». I asked the bartender for blue moon he told us it not working. After asking for 3 other beers and being informed that it not working, we found one they had. The beer was severed warm. The staff was unpleasant and seemed as of they didn’t want to be there. The only good thing was the food it was cook well and flavorful.

So excited to have this new place in town! Staff is extremely friendly and place is super clean and great to catch sporting events on tv as there are plenty to view in the establishment. Prices were ok… seemed a bit steep but maybe they have happy hour prices I have yet to discover. As for the food, I was very disappointed. I love wings so I got a decent size order and potato skins to go along with them.
The wings looked great but upon my first bite I quickly realized they were well under done (some i believe we’re still raw and the batter on them was absolute mush like eating raw batter (no real excuse as I always get my wings extra wet and have never had that issue elsewhere despite always having extra sauce on them), the ranch and blue cheese did not seem like they were of high quality and I do understand dressings vary from place to place based on the distributor the restaurant orders from but personally was not a fan as I found neither one savory. I couldn’t even tell if the potato skins were fried or put under a broiler or both but either way they were burnt to a crisp with super high sides and so little cheese. Upon biting into them getting past the hard crunch was tough enough but then the potato lost its support and literally crumbled into a greasy pile of potato chunks. Sad sight and ultimately sad day for my tastebuds I must say. That being said, I will be giving this place another chance as I live right across the street so its very convenient and im pulling for the place to be great! Maybe it was just a bad day for the cooks or they need a little more time to nail the execution of their dishes. I guess ill try the burgers next time and hopefully be able to give some more stars…
Oh…and may I add that I was EXTREMELY impressed at the sound insulation this place had. Two trains went by and I was stunned by how quiet it is and I don’t believe Im deaf but may be wrong (lol)

Awesome food great service, and perfect atmosphere, will defi etly be back !!! Yum the people are so friendly
