R.J. Bentley's was founded in 1978 by a group of Maryland graduates. 18 years later, R.J. Bentley's is a well-known landmark in College Park, richly steeped in Maryland tradition with a unique decor. Bentley's is located conveniently near the University of Maryland's south gate at the intersection of Knox Rd. and U.S. Rt. 1.

R.J. Bentley's, a popular gathering place for students, alumni and the local community, has built a reputation on homemade specials and an extensive selection of brews in a friendly, neighborhood atmosphere.
