American Tap Room’s countdown to opening hit single digits on Monday.

A sign in the restaurant and bar’s front window on Maryland Avenue in Rockville Town Square touted Tuesday’s opening as staff inside could be seen making final preparations. 

The restaurant, in the 6,500-square-foot former Austin Grill space, “redefines the idea of casual sophistication,” according to a description on the Rockville Town Square website. “Ranging from weekend brunch, to a casual lunch outing, to late-night celebrations or sporting event viewing parties, each dining experience is uniquely enjoyable.”

The local chain is owned and operated by Thompson Hospitality, the same Hendon, Va.-based foodservice company that owns Austin Grill. It has locations in Bethesda, Clarendon, Va. and Reston, Va.
