Voted THE Best Cover Band in Frederick! The Reagan Years are the East Coast's premier 1980's tribute band. This seasoned quintet helped pioneer the 80's tribute band concept in 1996 and have become one of the Mid-Atlantic's strongest drawing acts. TRY plays the greatest Pop, Rock, New Wave and Hair Metal hits of the Video Era.
It's a celebration of the music (not the wig, spandex or leg warmers) that has earned this band their position in the music scene. See why The Reagan Years is often imitated but never replicated.

Welcome to Rockwell Brewery’s Riverside Tap Room located at 8411 Broadband Drive Suite K Frederick, MD. 21701

What’s ON TAP @ riverside
Ask about our GLUTEN REDUCED Beer!
**Beers rotate frequently and website is updated often. Please check social media for beer releases**
Brewed onsite in historic Downtown Frederick, MD
Co-owners Paul Tinney and Matt Thrasher were home-brewing buddies long before Rockwell opened its doors in March 2017. Inspired by the beers they were making and the budding craft brewery scene in Frederick, Rockwell Brewery was born. The name is an ode to Tinney’s background as a designer of acoustic guitars and creating a theme of blending artisan work in craft beer and music.
Head Brewer, Scott McKernon, started brewing at home back in the early 90s out of necessity due to a lack of good beer available. With a background in Chemistry, a love of cooking, and inspiration from the growing availability of new ingredients, Scott has filled our taps with a wide variety of beer styles and flavor profiles. There is something on the “beer wall” that will please everyone, including but not limited to stouts, porters, reds, IPAs, blondes and the occasional barrel-aged.
In May 2023, our operation expanded to include our new, upscale, state of the art, Riverside location. Rockwell Riverside is the largest tap room in Frederick, and features 20 taps for specialty brews, a large upscale tap room, and private event space. You can find different musical acts here, events, food trucks, and so much more!
