“ My husband and I had both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Rex Theatre! It turned out phenomenally. The Rex Manager, Kiera, was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, and worked so well with all the different vendors. The space is industrial, but my wedding felt very modern and elegant after all the decor. It was a great space with a good amount of flexibility. Being able to have all the wedding events in one location made everything so much easier. ”
“ Old Bay Chicken Wings at The Rex: The Chuck Norris of Appetizers If Chuck Norris had a culinary alter ego, it would be Rex’s Old Bay Chicken Wings. These wings are not just a dish; they’re a statement. With a flavor profile so bold, it could roundhouse kick blandness right out of the kitchen! First off, the seasoning—their blend of Old Bay packs a punch that even Chuck Norris would respect. It's like the spice blend decided to take a karate class and now it’s throwing high kicks of flavor with every bite. The wings are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—much like Chuck himself: tough on the outside, but with a heart of gold. Dipping them in sauce? Please. Chuck Norris doesn’t dip; the sauce comes to him. You’ll want to savor these wings straight up, because anything less would be a disservice to their badassery. However, don’t fret: you have a choice of ranch, blue cheese, or both. In conclusion, these Old Bay Chicken Wings are a culinary masterpiece that could probably win a fight against any other appetizer in the room. If you’re looking for a wing experience that’s as legendary as Chuck Norris, look no further than The Rex. Just remember: when you eat them, you’re not just enjoying a snack; you’re channeling the spirit of the ultimate action hero. ”

“ It's a fun place to grab drinks. The prices are good and the life entertainment is incredible. I love coming here with friends and will be back! ”
“ I am a musician, and this place is one of the best venues I have ever had the privilege of performing. Being a life long musician, I have toured nationally. One of the challenges in this endeavor is merch cuts, ticket prices, drink prices and specials. Let me tell you, the owners of this place are sensitive and compassionate, they do not take merch cuts, or do any of the other shady things you can see at other venues of this caliber. They offer a premier product at down home prices. So MD is fortunate to have such a special place in our back yard. To the musicians, stop by, support shows, say hi to the owners, buy merch, drinks, thank the bartenders. To the performers, hang out with the fans, clean up after yourselves help keep this place nice. To the owners, thank you for the devotion and stewardship of such a beautiful and historically valuable location in our community. Great food, great drinks if you are in the area, check their website for live music and prepare to be blown away at the value and quality. ”
“ Went Friday around noon for lunch. Not very busy. They have outside seating but chose to sit at bar. Ordered the chicken soft taco Birria with a side salad. Served in about 15 minutes after order. Plate presentation was nice and dipping sauce was mild heat. Overall nice lunch. Tea was served in a Mason jar. Overall good food and small town atmosphere. Short walk/drive to leanordtown wharf if you want to relax near the Potomac as your food settles. ”
