Owned by a member of the 1978 World Champion Bullets, this sports bar goes all out for the NCAAs. In the summer, there's live music on the patio.

This place has a nice atmosphere and friendly bartenders and servers. Unfortunately, Grevey's charges far more than what its food and drinks are worth. As a regular there, the ONLY thing keeping me there is the geography - I can easily get better food and drinks at many places at a far lower price. A $10 steak and cheese sandwich is tiny, and has about as much meat as 1 "steak-um". I've ordered their $12.99 London broil, and I KNEW as soon as it came that it was NOT a flank steak - probably a chuck roast. Mr. Grevey would improve his dining business if his restaruant charged appropriate prices. Understanding that you still have to run a place in a tough economy, diners are noticing what's worth a good buck as well!
The quality of the service here has deteriorated noticeably over the last year or two. The managers are usually invisible, the early evening bar staff unpleasant, and the wait staff inexperienced. There are exceptions, of course, but fewer and further between with each passing month.
I have been to this bar twice, in the summer and on St. Patrick's day. Both times the food was good--not great--but good bar fare. The beer is also good, but also standard, nothing special. This would be an ok neighborhood hang out because there is not much else around, but the nosh seems very expensive for what you get. Inside, if you like TVs, you'll be in heaven. One per table and some sort of on screen trivia game option I never tried. Otherwise it is dim and typical. The outside patio is great during the summer months, it is neer the beltway and busy Gallows road, but they manage to block all of that bustle out and just allow cool summer breezes in. I would definitely spend more time on the patio, if the prices dropped.
Upon my visit to Grevey's, I found the fair to be quite tasty and fresh, the waitstaff was cordial, and the atmosphere was great. GREAT patio for a nice summer dinner.
This place may have been great when it first opened; but has obviously gone down hill since then. The ambiance is gloomy with dimly lit lights that attempt to hide the need for major renovations. When taking a peak inside the kitchen, it looked dirty and unkempt. This may explain some of the fishy-tasting food that had made me sick. Based on conversations with some of the table and bartender staff, I was surprised to learn that most of the current employees are unprofessional and conceited, as they blatantly bad-mouth their patrons.
