A wonderful place to watch Liverpool games, excellent service and a great beer. Wonderful people and great staff. If you are lucky you will meet a wonderful person that is working there her name is Stefanie and she is the American dream in my opinion

This bar is a long time favorite amongst bar goers in Bethesda. It offers a nice nightlife atmosphere, a few bar games and live events.

Literally the only place in the area that was open past 11, let alone served food. Food was just what we needed after long ass flight. Place was packed with very drunk, but good people. Service was great. This place saved my night.

I am just going to say something about service, there is a guy in the mornings I don't know if he is the owner or the manager, but he is a racist person with people of different skin color. I am not mad I just fell sorry for him but it is something that needs to be addressed, we are in 2024.

My coworkers and I stumbled upon the Barking Dog during a work trip. They welcomed our company teams with open arms, especially Kelly who went above and beyond to serve us. He remembered us from the night before and treated us well—so slay. Unfortunately, the bartender not so much. If we’re ever in the DC area again, we’ll definitely be back to hang with Kelly at the Barking Dog!

Military/First Responders/patriotic-themed (flags mounted on the ceiling) dive bar with decent beers (draft and pitchers). Plus happy hour. Lots of

Walked in randomly while completely out of it after a long travel day and the bartender Dylan was incredibly friendly. I came back the next day to same experience which was appreciated. I was going to stop by one more time before heading home next morning but alas the salt cave got my curiosity and I ran out of time.

Thanks again, Dylan. Look me up when ya head west!
