Looney's Pub in College Park, Maryland

Ever wanted to tailgate without making the long trek to your favorite sports team's game? At Looneys Pub in College Park, Maryland, you can!

Known as a sports bar, Looney's walls are covered with different sized HD television screens with various sports games. But, to make it a little more unique, the bar holds weekly cornhole tournaments. What's better than staying warm in the winter and still being able to drink a couple brews and play a game of cornhole with some buddies?

If you're not down to toss the bag or if you don't care for sports, there is entertainment for the rest of the patrons. There are DJS throughout the week that play top 40s, R&B, house, rap and more. Even on a Wednesday night, you shouldn't be surprised to see a dance party after 11 PM.

There are even concerts on Thursday and Friday nights, but it's best to arrive early because the bar can get packed from wall to wall during these events.

Aside from the entertainment, Looney's employees/bar tenders are some of the finest. There's no waiting for drinks and each employee is very personable.

The specials every night make Looney's menu affordable for college-aged customers. Wednesday nights are known for Ladies' Night, which includes $2 domestics and rails, $4 cocktails with Pinnacle vodka and $3 microbrews.

Every night, there is also a special on the food menu, such as Monday - 50 cent wings, Tuesday - $6 burgers, Wednesday - $6 chicken sandwich , Thursday - $6 cheesesteaks and Friday is the chef's special.

DJ's Sports Bar and Grill

It isn't hard to figure out why DJ's Sports Bar and Grill is a Pasadena favorite. The sports bar grows crowded by dinner time on weekend nights and remains this way until closing time. Karaoke with DJ Marcus on Thursday nights is one of its finest features. Marcus provides a lot of energy to get the crowd motivated to share their best tunes. He'll even chime in during the song if you need a little boost. But don't be offended - we're not all meant to be the next Taylor Swift. The bartenders and servers help to get the crowd pumped too. You'll find them dancing around the bar and mingling with all the frequent bargoers. Maybe it's for the tips but it helps to convert the bar into a dance club, especially after guests have had a couple of drinks in them. As aptly titled a sports bar, this bar is perfect for those who aren't ready to belt out a tune or get their groove on. Games are played on several HD flatscreen TVs throughout the bar. Amidst the singing, you'll often hear fans shouting at their favorite teams playing rivalry games.

Whether you're a sports fan or a singer and/or dancer, DJ's won't let you down. It's an entertaining place for everyone.

Don't miss karaoke on Thursday nights and acoustic performances on Saturday nights.
