It has a rather small parking lot for itself, being a standalone building across from the fire station and that strip where Nu Vegan, bubble tea and other places are. One side is a liquor store, and a door connects it to a rather huge bar. The layout is reminiscent of Big Daddy's. This is definitely a dive bar, and it's essentially everything you want it to be. There's plenty of seating, and there's two pool tables that were definitely in action while I was there. They aren't free -- I think they're $1.25. I also saw a handful of college kids -- definitely more than in The Hall, but it was mostly older folks for sure.
As for the drinks.... ~$2 beer from open until 6 PM, and then daily specials begin for the rest of the night. Wednesdays, for example, is $3 Jim Beam, $3.50 Pint Drafts and $3.50 Absolut. I settled for some margaritas that were made quite well. My friend and I were quite content! There was a nice mix of music, and plenty of TVs were around to look at. I even recognized a bartender from my college days who happens to still be around! It felt quite nostalgic.
I didn't get any food... I'm not even sure if they have any lol. But regardless I will be returning at some point. Gotta play some pool! - justine g.Washington, DC0211/12/2022

The Town Hall is an institution of ancient heritage with a simple focus. The sign out front used to say LiQUOR FOOD. Forget about eating food here. Fortunately, the TH's focus now is mostly on being what it truly is, a dive bar. In the olden days, it was a hangout for physical science and engineering students, which made it a nerdy dive bar. These days it's generally a mixed adult crowd. All the students are down the street sticking to the floor at the Cornerstone.

Second time to this neighborhood spot, first time we couldn't order because although we were OUTSIDE we were told we need masks to order.
We came a second time with masks for the outside patio and didn't see anyone else ordering wearing a mask much less wearing them at their seats. But I digress.
Definitely THE neighborhood watering hole. It's a liquor store with a large outside patio. If you choose to stay outside there is lots of beer on offer for your enjoyment however for non-beer drinkers the only other alcoholic drink available is a slushy with vodka.
That said, this place clearly is a crown pleaser (as the only watering hole in the neighborhood.) I would have to come here again to see if service is better. - 4351336532110/17/2018
I'm gonna break this one down really quick y'all. It's a dive bar attached to a liquor store. Yes, you can get your buzz going in one room, then stumble through the open door and get some more to take home.
The store closes at 9pm, last call in the bar area is 1:20am (they close at 1:30am).
Beer is $3.50 a pint, they have two pool tables, a Touch Tunes jukebox that isn't cranked up so loud that you can't carry on a conversation.
10 TVs (one shows the Maryland lotto numbers, and another is simulcast horseracing from other states), a pinball machine, 10 to 15 draft beers, tables all around the outer walls, and plenty of bar seating.
It's a cool, laid back adult crowd, not rowdy at all, and not full of college kids.
The parking lot is a bit on the small side.
There you have it folks - all the 411 in 30 seconds (depending on how fast you can read).
Peace out! - 3321791260712/6/2018
I know nothing about alcohol so when I came in here looking for whiskey to make a holiday dessert, I needed some help. The guy working here was so nice and extremely helpful giving me a quick run down on why you don't always need a high quality liquor in a cooked dessert. He wasn't wrong! Not only did he help me pick out the perfect spirit, but my cake came out delicious. I don't need to be picking up alcohol often but when I do I think that I will keep this place in mind. I appreciated the help!

This place is divey and is 1/2 bar 1/2 liquor store. But it's cheap and there are less college kids then the other haunts of college park. Not sure I would trust to eat anything here but they serve food if you are braver then I am. But I'm pretty sure you come for the cheap drinks and not the food. Like real cheap. Got 2 drinks and 4 shots for like $20. The bartender made me a delicious shot when I didn't want something run of the mill. It's called a smartie. The music was decent and there was a pool table. I'd come back if I wanted another night of cheap drunk ness.

Local Neighborhood bar, nothing fancy, good specials every day. Yu can buy snacks next door at the liquor store and bring them in to snack on while you watch the game or wait for a UMD game to start. Good for pre-gaming, much less expensive than anywhere else.
