    My wife and I went to see Train and Bare Naked Ladies in concert at this venue in July 2026…read more There are approximately several thousand seats under a roof and a lawn area in the back. All told, this venue seats almost twenty thousand people. The seats were comfortable and not too tight. Thankfully, there are large ceiling fans that helped move the air under the roof. The aisles were well staffed with ushers to help you find your seats. Small purses are allowed but they are checked. There are several concession stands to the right and left of the stage. Beer, mixed drinks, soda, water and food are sold at the concession stand. The food includes hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, French fries, hot pretzels, etc There is a booth for buying merchandise. Parking is free but can be difficult. The garages are large but they are a good ways away from the stage area. Expect a long walk to get back and forth to your car and the seats The bathrooms are right next to the concession stands. The bathrooms were clean but a little on the small side. The acoustics were very good for an outside venue. The crowd was very well behaved. I rank this concert venue over the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J. The seating area is larger and more comfortable. There is better airflow as well. This a no-cash venue. I am surprised that it has only been given three starts. My wife really enjoyed this venue and recommend it

    I'd never been to this venue before, but now I did 2 concerts in 1 week…read more We had lawn tickets to both and even though it was quite crowded (and there were a lot of people who seemed to expect front row seats after they walked in 20 minutes after the headliner started), the view was pretty good, the sound was great, and the jumbo-trons let us see everything. Food/drinks are stadium prices (so fairly outrageous), but actually taste pretty good and there's a nice variety of options. I've seen other complaints about bathrooms, but my experience (with just the ladies rooms) is that there were several different stations and they were all reasonably clean. My only real complaint is the weather policy. I understand it's probably difficult to reschedule artists, and if it's just raining, whatever. But continuing with shows when there are tornado and flood warnings in the area is dangerous and irresponsible. At the very least, there should be an option to trade tickets for a different show when customers don't feel safe.

    Without the need for any real motivation, I decided to take a roadtrip from NY to the DMV last week…read moreto chill with fam. While in route it was already decided that Friday we were hanging out. One of my nieces just moved and wanted to check out Nottingham's Tavern. When the day arrived, we all got ready for happy hour headed out to NT. Upon arrival the space is very spacious with some regulars at the bar. The four of us grabbed a high-top and was introduce to Jasmine, our server who was new. She was very nice and was holding down here tables very well. Now the DJ's were really good, I believe there were 3 gentlemen that rotated on the one's & two's. From the time we entered we barely sat down. The food and drinks were another story. The drinks, with the exception of the bottled beers, were horrible. I ordered a bullet with ginger-ale and my god sister ordered a Kettle One vodka with pineapple, both were nasty. Since both drinks were only two ingredients I'm guessing that their ice might have been the problem. In addition there was a Don Julio drink and a Pumpkin Espresso Martini also not good. The food was ok, it was pretty much typical bar food. We ordered the Chicken Nacho Basket, Wings (lemon pepper & buffalo), Southwest Chicken Egg-rolls and tots (they don't have fries... blasphemy!). I tried the tots, wings and egg-rolls. The wings were cooked well, as preferred, but the lemon pepper was absolutely too salty. The southwest egg-rolls were tasty. The tots were basic, again I'm stuck on the no french fries. Overall atmosphere and tunes great, the food ok but the drinks are a Nah. Which is crazy because this is a bar. To top it off they over charged us for one of those nasty drinks. I asked Jasmine, who again was great, about it and showed her the bill. I was offered another drink, told her absolutely not, but that I wanted a refund and she could keep it. The bill was already paid and she deserved even extra. Nonetheless we had a great time laughing and dancing. Just A Note: They have several things going on at once. There was karaoke and a comedy show schedule for that night. In addition they have pool tables towards the back.

I almost walked into a pool building (???) until I saw the Silhouette Stages feather flags a few feet to my left. Parking was a bit crowded as we arrived shortly before the show started, but it seems like there's ample parking between their private lot, some street parking, and the parking lot for the surrounding shops. I wouldn't have minded if we'd gotten there sooner, so I'm not complaining about that (my own fault for being tardy). The theater itself is super cute. One of the ticket-takers jokingly told us there wasn't a bad seat in the house, and she was right! We sat in the second row and the view was great. Maybe next time we'll be able to sit in the raised stands at the back to look down on the stage instead of up at it. The Wedding Singer was awesome. I knew the musical and loved it, so I was SUPER EXCITED to be able to bring two of my best friends to see it. The cast didn't disappoint, it was beautifully done. There were a few moments with mic issues, but they weren't really noticeable, especially if you weren't familiar with the show itself. They had a merch table set up in the lobby if you wanted to buy tote bags or shirts (I think) to support the theater. I'm not sure if there were refreshments or anything during intermission, and I didn't use the bathroom so I can't comment on that. We left pretty quickly after the show finished, so I can't say if there's an opportunity to chat with and congratulate the cast, but it's a small enough theater that it might be possible? I'll be back for sure -- already making guesses on what Season 19's shows will be and looking forward to them!

    Just saw 'The Wedding Singer' last night. It was phenomenal - wonderful artists, funny jokes,…read morefriendly staff, comfortable seating, good sound system. Excellent, especially for community theatre. And the tickets are very inexpensive! Highly recommend! Oh, and the parking and location are really easy, only a mile or two from the Columbia MD mall.

But the taste is what really matters and Grilled Sesame Salmon didn't disappoint. Wow!! I thought British food was supposed to be flavorless. The Salmon was both sweet and spicy with the teriyaki bang-bang glaze. The jasmine rice cakes added the perfect amount of crunch and the vegetables were as fresh as they appeared. The pub side of the restaurant feels British with ornate wooden features and sounds of laughter from all around. The bartender are knowledgeable and engaging. Most importantly they made me a proper Makers Mark Manhattan filled to the absolute top of glass to top off an outstanding dinner.

    Good old-school bar, Good food, Good people, Great music!…read more We love coming to The Morgan Inn for live music, especially rock and country. They have bands Thu-Sat, and jamming on Sun, and every other week it's open-mike on Wed! A few Saturdays ago, (Sep 2025), we got here at Morgan and Frederick just before the band started at 8 and lucked into one of the tables right up front. I'm guessing there's table seating for around 50, with around another 25 at the bar just to the side, and you can hear and see the band from there, too. There's a colorful fenced deck out back for another 40 or so, but the music might not reach. The wait staff is quick and attentive and friendly, and the drinks are strong. I got my usual jack and coke here, and we got a cranberry-vodka Cape Cod with a lime. They have all kinds of sandwiches, burgers, and salads, and we like the spinach salad because it's fresh with brightly flavored strawberries! Also sprinkled pecans and some crumbled feta cheese if you want. They are happy to adjust it as you like, so we say light on the feta plus a side of balsamic dressing :-). Zingy and tasty! I always always order something from their walleye-fish menu, on the wall by the bar if you dont see it in print. It's a light-flavored whitefish that's perfectly creamy and tender and bone-free, some of the best white fish there is! It's reminds me of whitefish i've had on the shores of the Chesapeake. I've had Morgan Inn's generous fried platter and generous sandwich, and this time we had dinner earlier so i saved room for their lightly-coated piping-hot crispy tender juicy six-or-so walleye bites. And another whiskey-coke from our fun waitress. We got a little blurry :-). We loved this evening's rowdy talented band, Noble Black (Karen, Dan, Gary, and Keith). Even though they play gigs all over the region, we hadn't heard this band before, and they really killed! Mostly hot classic rock, a few country classics, a few bluesy songs ones among those. They walked around with during the show with a live equalizer so there was good sound wherever we wandered! Each of the four musicians added some terrific licks of their own, and I dont know about you, but when the building starts to shake, we get up and dance! We gave their contact info to the place closest to where we live, hoping for an appearance there some time :-) A great evening of loud music, good food and drink, friendly staff, and good loud friendly folks :-) As always!

They had a pretty good live band playing and it was not super loud in the place. Their menu is pretty extensive and several positive comments were made about the cream of crab soup as well as their fish special. Portions are large and tasty. They have a full bar, unable to serve pretty much anything you asked for. We will definitely be coming back

With that said, this place is not for everyone. Sadly it was frustrating alone dealing with the parking situation. I parked so far away! Next, there was a band playing music, cool, but don't know any of their songs or the covers they were doing. The other room was 100% line dancing that if you didn't know it, you stayed off the dance floor and stand in place. There's a bull riding area that I saw a professional bull rider do tricks and that was cool and they intimidating. The drinks were really good and not overpriced! Star for that!

We love traveling to different line dancing communities, experiencing new places, and connecting with people through dancing. That's what makes situations like this so upsetting. Everyone deserves to feel welcomed and respected, regardless of their religion or appearance. The line dance world is a very connected community, and experiences like this naturally get talked about. I just hope this establishment reflects on the kind of environment they want to create moving forward, because this was deeply disappointing to hear about and unacceptable.
