Such beautiful hazy memories…..

Rendezvous Inn was the Vous. Closed awhile ago.

Was next to Bentleys, on the corner of US 1 and Knox Rd. I spent 3 nights a week there in the early 80’s. It was a dive, but the atmosphere was electric.

The Vous is now called Cornerstone Bar and Grill, located in the exact same spot. From the stories I have heard from older alumni, Cstone (as its oft abbreviated to) is step up from the Vous, which always had sticky floors and broken bottles. Having been in College Park for going on six years (undergrad, now grad school) and visited nearly ever other ACC town, I can say while College Park does not have the enthusiasm or atmosphere on an every-game basis as others do (Clemson for football, Duke/ Carolina for basketball come to mind), Maryland rocks just as hard, if not harder, for good games. I rioted twice for wins over Duke bball my freshman year: I dare you to find that at other ACC schools.

Glad to see your journalistic excellence. Now I admit I didn’t major in journalism but when you decide to right an inflammatory article about a town, I would think that your research should be more current than 1991 (I think that is when the Vous closed).
I mean I understand what he is saying, I will never be a Wizards fan because I hate US Air Arena.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Happy to learn that I did not miss a bar during my years, ‘00 to ’04, it was definitely Cstone then. I just couldn’t believe that I missed a bar in town.

I’m surprised nobody has listed EJ’s Landing – bar inside the Best Western at the corner of Rte 1 and Berwyn road. I remember many a night when I lived off campus walking over there…

i went to md from 89-94, some tough times and great times to be a hoops fan. anyway, for the younger crowd, the vous was unlike anything you have seen in the last 10yrs at md. thursdays, you could barely move. pitchers of bud and bud light were $2.50. there were tons of girls everywhere dancing on tables. the place was a million degrees. and there were the occassional fights. on a snow day, they would open their doors at 6am, and if you did not get there right away, there would be an hour line to get in. one yr, it was ranked as one of the top 10 college bars by playboy and high times.
as i grew older, i spent most of my time at bentley’s, but i will always have fun memories of the vous.
