1936 Bar & Grill

Aug 12, 2025

We LOVED this restaurant! Starting with our fantastic server, North- who was so lovely with us from meal beginning to end. We had steak bites to start, which were such excellent quality and tremendous flavor that we brought an order back with us! The one year old even loved them. I had fish and chips- fantastic lightly battered fish- French fries were light and just crispy enough. The pasta portable bucatini pesto was excellent - maybe a bit salty but still so good. The salmon was delicious as was the burger. All fresh and SO flavorful! We also had white sangria which was beautiful as well as delicious and refreshing. I highly recommended this restaurant if you're in the area. One note: park on the second level of the open garage there- the restaurant is on that level and is breezy and beautiful even on hot days if you want to sit outside!

Wedding Venue

Hidden Gem on the Bay!

I had my wedding at the Rod ‘N’ Reel this June, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime! I was planning an intimate celebration with about 65 guests and needed something beautiful, yet budget-friendly—and this venue exceeded every expectation.

The newly renovated wedding dome, banquet hall, and lobby were absolutely stunning. The space felt like a hidden gem—elegant, modern, and made us feel like we were celebrating at a luxury destination resort just steps from the Chesapeake Bay.

Lori and Rhachelda were incredible from start to finish. They guided me through the planning process, helped with setup, and kept everything running smoothly on the big day. It was one of the hottest days of the summer, but they went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable, hydrated, and happy. Their warmth and attention to detail made the day feel effortless.

The bar and banquet staff were also wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made sure our guests were well taken care of. My family stayed at the on-site hotel. While it hasn’t been updated yet, it was clean, spacious, and perfect for a short stay. I stayed in a suite, which gave my bridal party plenty of space to relax, get ready, and enjoy the morning together. Watching the sun rise over the water from that suite was unforgettable.

If you’re dreaming of a beautiful, affordable wedding that feels like a true escape, I can’t recommend Rod ‘N’ Reel enough. It was magical from beginning to end!

"If you love good food and are feeling nostalgic for 20th century American culture, then give 1936 Bar & Grill a try, especially after a long day of gambling and/or walking along the beach."

"My family rented kayaks here recently and it was a great experience. You can book online but we just walked up and it was fine. No complaints about the quality of the kayaks. We were able to store our bags before heading out in the water. 10/10, will come here again."
