Jonathan's Sports Pub at 820 Baltimore Road in Rockville is under new ownership. The popular restaurant and bar at the Burgundy Park Shopping Center was acquired yesterday by Amy Shin Huang, who also owns Fusion Bar & Grill at the Cloverly Village Center in Silver Spring. While she plans to keep the general "dive bar" aesthetic longtime patrons have come to know and love, upgrades to the menu and decor are planned. High ratings on Yelp and Google for Fusion Bar & Grill - also termed a "dive bar" by customers - suggest she has a recipe for success in this dining and nightlife category.
The establishment will also get a new name, although forty customers have signed a petition asking the new owner to keep the Jonathan's moniker. Other patrons have expressed openness to a name change. Despite its dive bar reputation, venerable strip mall location, and dated decor, it should be noted that the quality of the food at Jonathan's is high. According to Yelp, Montgomery County health inspectors found no violations at the restaurant during their last visit.
