Rhino Bar & Pumphouse

I went in there once with my boyfriend last week. The places spelled like musty pee and was very dark inside. Reading another reviewer about the sports bar having an identity crisis (Eagles fans, but Boston-​themed sports memorabilia) and I have to agree. There really is no theme to this place; you have nice small round tables that look almost like granite table tops, but then tables in the back with picnic plaid covers over them. There was nothing welcoming in this place. If this is a sports bar, you might as well buy your own drinks from a liquor store and watch the game at your own house.

Wont ever go again. Way too many people, not enough sitting (it is a bar?) Drinks were just okay. Food didn’t look great.

Decent for what it is. Wings and drinks and football. Not a big menu, but it’s really just a bar

Not sure what was going on with Rhino on Saturday night, Nov 29, but it legit smelt like cow manure. We immediately left the empty bar at 12:45 am in pursuit for a less revolting smelling bar in Georgetown.

Buckeyesssssss. You may scoff at Rhino Bar for being a college bar, but come game day, Im itching for a rendezvous to Georgetown. It’s gonna get loud in here.
$ 10 pitchers and 25 cent wings definitely make for a great time. Id be surprised if I saw anyone order anything else Lots of seating but arrive early for prime real estate. We scouted seats early at 630 for an 8:00 game and had primo seats at the bar, but this place crams them in like sardines. Naturally it may be a bit difficult to get a pitcher in while you’re competing against other 100 other buckeye fans for the next pitcher. Insert yourself. Modesty does not work well here.
I probably wouldn’t come here if it weren’t game day because it is rather average. However, I have yet to have a poor experience when in the company of friendly OSU alumni. go bucks!

Great spot for out of towers who love philly sport… nothing like seeing nothing but eagle jersey yesterday made me feel like I never left home… great atmosphere, the people there nice and the wings were good

Every so often, I have to remind myself why I always leave Georgetown to go out on the weekends. Rhino is one of those reasons. I have nothing bad to say about the staff (you guys get 5 stars, I have no idea how you do it). The scene is so gross. I imagine it is exactly what would happen if they had served alcohol at boarding school dances.
Picture the sloppiest bros you can imagine (shirts unbuttoned, beer spilled all over themselves) and basics (makeup running down their faces, falling off their six inch heels). Then imagine these people splayed out on the couches doing things not usually done on the couches of public places unless that place is Rhino.
Also the dance floor is straight up about to collapse. Also it’s just super awkward. Also ugh.

The menu that they have uploaded here is not available. Salad, appetizers, sandwiches and wraps only. Don’t come for the steak. :lol

This place is confused by their identity. I mean, we’ll be back to check it out during an Eagles game at some point — maybe, but we were there spontaneously there last night.
Inattentive bar tenders and the place smelled like urine. They claim to be a Philly-​sports bar but there is nothing but Boston stuff everywhere — and a random Roy Helu and Terry Bradshaw jersey. Like I said, very VERY confused by their identity. If I had to say, it’s a Boston-​bar — but there was nothing Boston related on the televisions.
I’ve read that it turns into a Philly-​sports bar on game days, which was our initial draw to the bar … but I would say it’s more of a (supposed) Eagles sports bar (from reading the comments below). Even though the Phils suck, they did not have any sign of the Phils /​Pirates game on last night.
I can also attest that it is a bro-​heavy bar — but you’re in Georgetown, so what do you expect? It’s arguably the bro-​capital of the country, maybe even the world? I mean, it’s certainly worth a nomination. The place is stereotypically filled with Diplobrat, boat shoe-​wearing, sweater tied around the neck-​type gentlemen, named Biff, using their parents credit card — I say this with love.

Worst bartender I’ve ever had. Jerk who works on the top floor literally ruined my entire night. Pretty sure I saw something illegal happen right in front of me– no wonder he wasn’t paying attention to his customers. First time and LAST time I will ever come here.

This place depends on who you are… get it. Nah, I can take it or leave it.

I’m inclined to like this place as a Penn State-​Philly fan, but it gets a little bit too crowded with bros.
Rhino is an expansive two floor bar that has lots of seating (unless there is a game on, in which case this place fills up quickly). The food/​drinks are good and priced low compared to other spots in Georgetown (they make great wings). So the place gets four or five stars for the bar-​fundamentals.
Unfortunately, the clientele can be a bit bro-​y, with mostly college-​aged kids drinking at the bar on the weekends. Add to it they’re mostly Philadelphia fans (I am one so I say this with love), and the place can get a little loud and raucous. If you’re like me and getting to the age where that no longer appeals to you, it’s probably best to move on. If you love that sort of thing, this will be your new favorite bar.

I am a die hard Red Sox fan and decided to go there yestrday for the 1^st time, since it was Game 6 of the World Series and the Sox were 1 game away form winning it all.
I got there around 7pm and by the 1^st inning, around 8:15, they were out of Sam Adams! How is it possible that a Boston bar runs out of Boston beer! and even worst in the 1^st inning!!!
By the 5^th-​6^th inning they ran out of draft beer period! How do you run out of beer in a sports bar! People go there to eat junk food and DRINK BEER!
Later they ran out of bottles too!
There must of been around 200 people on the 2^nd floor and only ONE… yes ONE waitress for the entire place, plus 2 people behind the bar… woohoo. It took an average of 45 – 60 minutes to get anything. By 10pm we didn’t even bother to order anythign else, since they didn’t have anything else!
This poor girl was running around non-​stop trying to help everyone.
How in the world does the manager not prepare for this? No Beer! No help! What a dissaster!
If I had known that they would only have 1 waitress and that they would’ve ran out of beer, NO WAY in the world would I or anybody would have gone there. I will never go there again, not would I recommmend anyone going there! Horrible management! He/​She should be punshing him/​herself in the teeth for being so unprepared and so inefficient in what they get paid so much to do. Their work!
Management cost this place a lot of money last night by sucking at their job.

My old stomping grounds.
It’s really tough to beat Johnnie Walker Blue for $ 15 normally and $ 10 during Friday happy hour.
Oh yeah, the drinks are also really cheap too. I’ll turn a blind eye to the college crowd and the fact that cast of Real World DC was here years ago.

Looking for a giant dive bar for a drink with some friends? Well Rhinos is that place. It isn’t super nice inside, but I think it actually looks more divey from the outside in comparison to once you are inside. There is a lot of space inside too, complete with even more space upstairs! So this bar is huge.
What isn’t huge is their drink prices. Only a few dollars for cheap beers and well drinks! Pretty amazing if you ask me. The bartender was fast to serve you too.
So why the three stars? Well I would say that the ambiance wasn’t as inviting as it could be. Definitely seemed like more of a man bar than a woman bar, but I guess that is what a lot of bars are like anyway. There also just wasn’t anything that unique or special about this bar other than its name and the cheap drink prices ha ha So three stars and three cheers for the cheap prices, Rhinos!

This place is disgusting.
We had a group of 5 and put 2 tables together. They were filthy, so I asked our waitress to clean them. She cleaned one of them, with windex.
I had to give them a credit card before we could even order food.
My flip flop got stuck to the floor.
My husband’s fish and chips were Gorton’s fish filets (actually, Gorton’s are actually pretty good, these were worse). My mom ordered a hamburger and got exactly that. No lettuce, no onion, no tomato. My fried chicken (patty sandwich from the freezer section) was decent (I slathered it with buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing). The other 2 people got cheeseburger subs. We asked for ketchup, mustard and mayo. They were out of mayo and gave us 2 mustard packets (3 people wanted mustard).
Had to ask for napkins/​utensils. She brought 3 napkins for 5 people, 1 fork and 1 knife.
The margaritas are disgusting.
Please don’t be like us and eat here. Go someplace else.

I WILL NEVER RETURN! If you come here, use ONLY CASH. BE CAREFUL OF THEM TAKING YOUR CREDIT CARD!
I come in and order two drinks, hand the bartender my credit card. Ask for the same creit card back after five minutes and the bartender claims I never gave it to him. My friend writes my name on a napkin and asks him to look because we know we handed it to him. He tries to give me some girl named Hannah’s credit card. I give it back and request for mine and he states that it’s lost. The bartender was extremely rude and took my credit card.
I come back the next night hoping I can get it back. The bouncer tells me I won’t get it back. I ask the same bartender, he looks back and finds it. Walks to the other side of the register to do something with it and then returns it to me. Very sketchy. I canceled my card the next day to ensure they weren’t trying to run a scam on me. Worst service and very shady.

This is a great sports bar — cheap bear, big screen tvs upstairs, and delicious, inexpensive wings. It’s especially good for football.
If you are going for a night out — be prepared. It is not only an undergrad bar, but also an underage bar. I was there for a friends 29^th birthday and we were definitely the oldest people there. It got to the point where I was walking to the bar and someone approached me to ask my age. When I said I was 27 he responded that he was 24 and would buy me a shot since he was no longer the oldest person in the bar.
When a friend was drinking from the pitcher (as people often do during a night out at Rhino) he turned and saw someone he had counseled in camp — who was 19.
Know what you are going for. If you want a fun college atmosphere, go at night. If you are looking for a good sports bar check it out during the big game.

It’s an Eagles bar, so that automatically makes me a fan…
Came here on a Sunday night so it wasn’t too crowded when I was there so I don’t have much to say other than that the bartenders were fun, the people there were fun, and I’d probably go back… especially during an Eagles game :)

Ick.
