Maryland Rock Club in the 1980s
Posted by: Rapunzel ()

Does anyone know what the name of that big club in Maryland that had live rock bands in the 80s and maybe into the 90s was? I saw Winger/Extreme/Tangier there, as well as lots of others, but I can't remember what it was called. I can't find any info on it either. TIA!

Hammerjack's was definitely there at least until 95 or 96, I saw Rollins there back in the day.

Speaking of MD rock clubs, anybody remember a club in Bethesda, somewhere off of Rockville Pike near the White Flint area? It was a small dive that used have local bands, was around in the mid 90s, I can never remember what it was called.

I lived in Rockville in the 90s and can not of any serious place that had bands. There was a bar in a strip mall off Parklawn that had Grateful Dead cover bands alot. I don't remember the name though.

In Bethesda, hmmmmm. The Pyschadelly (sp?).

The Outside Inn in Randolph Hills shopping center? I think that's what you're talking about.

I may be wrong, but I think that was a 60s club.
