My wife and I tried the OG location in Silver Spring a few weeks ago before they closed. We only stopped by to try a flight and got a 6 pack of the Animal hazy to go (I am a huge beer lover and this is one of the best hazies I’ve ever had). My impression was the beer was great. My wife and I then were in the Riverdale Park area a few weeks later and I had to come try this location as it is Denizens main and only location now. The location is in a nice walkable shopping and business area with residential nearby. The surrounding area is historically high in crime but this particular area has been gentrified. There is also a free parking garage which in this area is huge and rare. The University of Maryland is right down the street in College Park so I can see this being a nice spot for students with disposable income or parents and family visiting to stop by while in town. There is a decent amount of outdoor table and bench seating outside on the sidewalk. There is a huge indoor seating area including tables, high tops and bar seating. It is a full service bar with beer, wine, cocktails and mocktails. We visited between 3-6 pm on a weekday which fell in their happy hour. All year round beers are $5 for a 16 ounce pour which in today’s market is a great deal. They had I believe 4 year round beers. They also had 10 seasonal beers on tap to try. They have a kitchen attached called Catalyst Hot Dogs. The menu is large with hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, fries ect. I tried a Hanks dog (chili and cheese sauce) which was exceptional. It was a little pricey ($10) but I enjoyed it. My wife got the disco fries which is essentially poutine and the portion was HUGE and well worth the $10. I of course had to have a pint of the Animal. The Animal is so crushable and clean and juicy! I also tried to Bohemian Pilsner which was hoppy and clean. My wife got the hibiscus punch since she’s pregnant and it was delicious! The service was EXCELLENT. What I really like about this place is there is not a certain server assigned to you. There were at least 6 people working and just rotated through inside and outside attending to everyone. I like this style of serving as you do not have to wait on one person and this place obviously trains their staff to be very attentive. I never had to ask for a refill as they would ask when they saw you were about to finish. You pay at your table as they have a handheld card reader. They also have a large cooler of to go beer and apparel. The stickers are free too which is cool. I get a sticker at every brewery I go to. This place is awesome and I highly recommend for anyone who loves beer and food. Family friendly and staff is outstanding.

I didn't get our servers name but she was great! The hotdogs are at Ben's Chilli Bowl level! The beers, all so very tasty. Really good trivia night too. Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Amazing small batch craft Brewery in the DC/Baltimore Metro Area. I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. Every beer I sampled in my flight was exceptional. The food was equally delicious. Great merch selection along with a variety of pre-packed 4 or 6 packs to take home. Growlers also available! Special thanks to Jenny and Bradley who made the experience even better. You two ROCK! Thank you! Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Garlic Knots

We celebrated a birthday at Denizens @ Riverdale Park Station. The interaction with the staff before during, and after the event was extremely helpful; everyone was very kind. They made it really for us to reserve the place, accommodate it to our needs, and even stay a little longer than the closing time. Of course, the beer is outstanding!

A pleasant spot for a light meal. Good seasonal beer options, wine and cocktails if beer isn't your thing, they have a decent set of starters, sandwiches, and sides. Of note is the chicken club sandwich with onion rings, and the kale caesar salad is very good. No real dessert options beyond sherbert. Service can be a little slow but it's a laid back environment and everyone is nice. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100

Great local brewery! We enjoyed trivia a lot, and have sat outside with the dogs on multiple occasions. Yummy hot dogs and great beer. Consistently excellent servers. Easy free parking. You can buy beer to take home too. Highly recommend! Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I really love the drinks and events that are here, and we have loved going here for about a year! However, they recently swapped the menu to a local Jersey Hotdog vendor, and it's not good! Even the beer pretzel is different, probably from a new food supplier. The new food also sits really poorly with me, and I usually have an iron stomach. Definitely worth a 5 Star review, once the food is fixed! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Beer Flight

Denizens hosted a work event and they were wonderful to work with! Emily was very responsive and took extra care to make sure the planning was seamless and easy. The food options for a happy hour style gathering were perfect and delicious. The servers were attentive and made sure our group was happy the whole time. Looking forward to planning future events at Denizens! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

6/3/22 I would give a 5/5 star review; however, we did not order any food. I’ll update this review after the next visit to provide a more thorough review on the meal. Overall, the service was very remarkable. The cocktails were fresh, elevated and beautiful. The beer selection was on par with the season. I loved the Chapless Horseman so much so that I brought a bottle home. There is street parking directly in front of the building, but if full, there is more parking in the Whole Foods lot. There was outdoor seating with umbrellas and two unisex restrooms in the restaurant that were thoroughly cleaned. I liked the large group sized booths and also the bar area was very large. I am looking forward to trying their pretzel and wings on my next visit. Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $20–30

Best food in that Riverdale Park Town Center!! At casual glance it looks like almost a dive bar. People outside just conversing and drinking beer (it IS a brewery), but step inside and glance at the menu and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The joint is staffed by friendly young people. Our server was this kid named Ethan that provided outstanding service. My steak was cooked perfectly and my salad was amazing. I can't believe I missed this place, I'm definitely a regular now. :)
