18 Best Bars in Bethesda

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“The Maryland Crab dip was the 💣!!!! Everything we tried was delicious!!! Server was fantastic!!! Great atmosphere!!!“

“The sushi at Takumi Japanese Bistro & Bar was fresh and nicely prepared. The salmon nigiri had a clean flavor, and the spicy tuna roll had just enough heat without being buried in sauce. The chicken gyoza was another good choice, with crisp bottoms and a savory filling. I liked that the menu had more than just sushi, so there were plenty of options for the table. Service was pleasant, although things slowed down a little once the restaurant became busier. Overall, a satisfying Japanese meal in Bethesda.“

“This place is great. The servers are friendly, the food is consistent, and Tuesday night trivia is super fun. Stevie is a great host, and we’ve had a lot of great servers over the years, including Brielle. Can’t wait to come back next week.“

“The acting by the 2 leads in this play was outstanding. I was blown away by the talent of these 2 young actors. The play was very well done and memorable! I'm so glad I went to see it last night. Bravo, Round House!“

“My husband and I decided to stay here overnight during our drive home from a beach vacation. I am covered in mosquito bites and am just miserable. I couldn’t wait to take a shower. Well let me tell you, I have NEVER taken a shower as good as the shower I just took in this hotel. It scratched every mosquito bite on my body simultaneously and felt so amazing. The provided toiletries smell like I just stepped out of a spa. The towel was fluffy but not linty. The water pressure was immaculate. The temperature was consistent and easy to set to the perfect amount of hotness. And my skin doesn’t feel like it’s been stripped of all of its moisture like it does after a shower at most hotels. I will only stay at this chain from now on if they’re all like this. I need to know how to get this at home. I’m serious. Best shower of my life.“

“The reason I recommend this restaurant is because the environment, service and facilities of this restaurant are very good!“

“Amazing service. Extremely accommodating to us and helpful trying to help us keep our babies in the party happy. Definitely recommend for the service alone but would also recommend solely based on the food as well. Chicken soup was great and chicken tawook was the best Ive ever had. Super flavorful and juicy“

“Good music good food good“

“Owner is a super great guy! We were visiting the metro area and ate twice on our stay. The bacon cheeseburger eggrolls are superior! Everything else we had was great as well!“

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“the food food, the taste taste, the service, the ambiance just impeccable, my God!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“Best rooftop in Bethesda. Beautiful sunsets and fabulous cocktails! 🍸“

“I've attended many fancy dinners both personally and professionally in my time. I did a birthday celebration in a private room with 12 of my dearest friends. And all that time I have never seen a server start the evening by memorizing everybody's names. The service was very Hands-On and personable. Severin,Rafi and Lauren made our evening particularly wonderfull.

The food was also amazing. We particularly recommend the mini lamb chop appetizer. The steak was also exceptional. Two members of my party had the sea bass which they also adored.

I would also like to think the the three people including two managers who were able to get the Rays playoff game on the TV in our private room. How they made sure the Rays won. I don't know, but we appreciate their support.“

“Tried Kusshi in Bethesda recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere without feeling too loud or crowded, and the location in Woodmont Triangle makes it a nice spot for dinner before walking around downtown after. Sushi tasted fresh and presentation was really well done. You can tell they pay attention to quality instead of just rushing plates out.

We ordered a mix of rolls, appetizers, and drinks and honestly everything came out pretty quickly. The crispy rice and specialty rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering too much which I appreciated.

Prices are definitely on the higher side compared to casual sushi spots, but that’s kind of expected for the area and quality level. Overall a really solid place for date night, dinner with friends, or just when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale than average.“

“One of the best restaurants in the area—the food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Their manager, Sergio Tapia, took care of me and provided excellent service; he made my experience very pleasant, and I would certainly come back.“

“We just had the thanksgiving dinner and I was phenomenal!!!! I will definitely love this restaurant!!!“
