Greene Turtle will open Friday in College Park Shopping Center

The Greene Turtle, a sports bar and grill, is set to open in the College Park Shopping Center on Friday, according to an Instagram post from the restaurant.

The restaurant chain, which has 33 locations across the East Coast, will open in the site previously occupied by Jason’s Deli.

Customers can expect to find classic American staples, such as burgers and sandwiches, along with a wide selection of signature cocktails, according to the restaurant’s online menu.

The restaurant’s grand opening party will start at 9 p.m. on Friday and feature music from PB&J Sounds, a local DJ group, according to Greene Turtle’s Instagram post.

The post added that the restaurant will host a party called Club Turtle on Saturday nights for the rest of the semester.

For both opening events, entrance will be free of charge, the post stated, but both parties are restricted to people that are at least 21 years old with a valid ID.

Michael Williams, College Park’s economic development director, told The Diamondback in September that he hopes the restaurant will not only serve as a “college bar,” but that it also will cater to College Park residents and families in the area.
