Finding the Right Rockville Sports Bar for You

Not all sports bars are created equal, and choosing the right location can make or break your experience. For some, any restaurant that receives a television signal will do. However, to achieve optimal viewing, there are some additional factors you’ll want to consider. 

Food

The game’s on the big screen, but what’s on the menu? In times of social distancing and friendship deprivation, you want to count on your taste buds to remain your best buds. Be sure to check out sports bars’ online menus to ensure that you’ll be treating them right. 

Theme

All sports bars strive to provide sports, food, and fun. Some, however, go the extra mile in providing a tailored cultural experience for fans of a certain team. Take a peek at social media and bar branding to make sure that you don’t go root for your favorites in enemy territory. Or worse — in a bar that’s showing the wrong game! 

Establishment

If you can’t be sitting courtside, the buzzing, welcoming environment of a sports bar may be your next best option. Do you prefer local dive-bars or classier decor? Indoor seating or patio access? Do you like to enjoy America’s favorite past-time with man’s best friend at your side? 

Rockville, Maryland’s expansive sports bar scene has it all — all that’s left is to find the perfect match for you. Fortunately, we’ve prepared a great line-up that’s sure to keep you cheering and beer-ing.

3. Quincy’s South Bar & Grille

Understanding the Ledger

Your portal includes a ledger with all transactions. The ledger is populated with data in real-time as transactions flow through our accounting software. Much of this information is also available in the Reports area, as well as the Statements in your Documents library, but the ledger is the most comprehensive resource for diving into the details. 

Please scroll through the sections below to get a better understanding of how to interpret the ledger. 

By default, transactions are sorted chronologically:

Owner Ledger Dates
  • The date reflected in the lefthand column is the actual transaction date, not the “bill date”. This is the date the transaction was actually processed. 

If you have multiple properties with Nomadic, you'll see the address for each transaction in the "Location" column:

Ledger Property Column
  • You can filter the ledger to look at just one property, all properties, or specific sets of properties. 
  • If you only have one property with us, you’ll just see the ledger for that property. 

The Description column displays the transaction type:

Owner Ledger Description Column
  • BILL: this is an expense transaction, such as for repair costs or management fees.
  • CHARGE: this is a transaction  billed to the tenant, most typically a rent payment. 
  • NACHA EXPORT: this is a credit we processed to your distribution account. This type of transaction is how you get paid! 

The Amount column shows the dollar value of each transaction:

Owner Ledger Amount Column
  • Positive Amounts: if an amount is positive, it reflects a transaction that is payable to you. Typically, this will be a rent payment that we collected from your tenants. On occasion, a positive number could also signify a journal entry or credit adjustment. 
  • Negative Amounts:  if an amount is negative, this is a transaction that is either payable to Nomadic or is an amount that has already been paid to you. Typically this will be for repair costs or management/leasing fees. Owner draws (net distributions into your checking/savings account) also reflect as negative amounts, since they have already been paid to you. 

The Account Balance column shows a sum of positive/negative transactions at a given point in time:

Owner Ledger Account Balance Column
  • Account Balance should always equal zero after a net distribution has been processed. When the balance is zero, this means that all expenses have been paid and you’ve received the remainder as net operating income, leaving a balance of zero (meaning: no one is due any money, as all funds have been distributed appropriately).

How do net distributions work?

Net distributions keep your accounting clean and simple. Each month we’ll collect rent from the tenants, deduct any repair expenses for the previous month and any management/leasing fees for the current month, and credit the remaining net operating income to your account. 

Net Distribution

You’ll receive a statement via email each time a net distribution is processed, and can view all transaction details in your Propertyware owner portal.
