Themes/Styles: American / Restaurant w/Bar Parking Accessibility: Annoying About 3.5 miles from I-495 Exit 31. The parking lot is small, cumbersome, and fills up fast. Layhill Rd is limited access due to concrete median (U-turns required), and parking further away in other shopping centers or Metro will either be illegal, long distance, or cost money.
Metro Accessibility: Easy Adjacent to Glenmont Metro station (Red Line).

Our Review

Stained Glass Pub is popular among the local residents, with an eclectic mix of customers (jeans & flannel, suits and ties, young and old) in the pub area. Multiple TVs display a couple of channels, ranging from sports to news. It’s easy to relax and sink into the darker atmosphere generated by the dark wood fixtures and narrow passage. The old building does have a bit of dinginess to it, and the bathrooms are quite small and worn. Drink deals are hard to beat, and the food deals are pretty good as well (although they all are pretty simple and fattening). The bartender was speedy and vigilant, and made fairly generous pours for my mixed drinks. The pub is a no-frills, down-to-earth watering hole, with an interesting mix of ‘80s and ‘90s pop music.

The Run Down

Stained Glass Pub is a good choice if you enjoy simplicity in style and diversity in people. You may want to look elsewhere if you prefer modern and sophisticated atmospheres, or original and healthy food offerings.
