40 Best Bars near Burtonsville

“Great experience. The place is a bit small but wasn’t overcrowded even for a Saturday evening. The people service was fast and very accommodating, I guess that’s the plus side of only having a few tables to service. The atmosphere was nice, and the food was affordable. The only downside is I wish they had happy hour on Saturdays. Most happy hour these days are Mon- Sat if not everyday. It could bring more revenue for the establishment to have happy hour for a few hours on the weekend“

“I live in the neighborhood and once in a while when I want to just have a super chill, super yummy, super special experience I rack my brain to think of where to go? So many options but I always come back here. Like a warm, wholesome spongy Injera with a comfy lounge and an outdoor area to just relax and be. ❤️“

“Extremely kind and professional staff and service! Food was excellent but the dessert was beyond perfection! Been a while since I havent had this fresh tiramisu! Thanks a lot for making an ordinary night this special!The atmosphere was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!“

“Dok Khao Thai Eatery is great food, full stop. All the usual Thai staples, plus some very delicious chef's specialties. The interior is just fancy enough if you feel like "doing it up", or casual enough that you don't feel underdressed in T-shirt and jeans. Highly recommended.“

“This place was amazing. When I saw the one dish salad and sliced steak with fries, only options. I was a bit skeptical. However, this place rocks. Steak made perfect to order, and the home made gravy and fresh bread delicious. The Lavender 75 drink was a great refreshing beverage. Definitely will be our new date night spot.“

“We have a complicated past with Roscoe's. We live just a block away in Old Town Takoma Park. When they opened we went there a couple of times and it was just plain bad. There were almost no toppings on the pizza and it was all pretty tasteless. So for the last more than a decade we've avoided them - which bummed me out. I love to support our local businesses but there have been, in the past, a few clunkers. And Roscoe's was yet another one. But the other day when I was walking my dog I thought, "Why do I always see people eating both indoors and outdoors there?" So I thought, "Well, let's give them another chance. Maybe they've change in over a decade!!" And have they ever. My husband and I had the Roasted Beet Salad, the Antica Pizza and the Siciliana White PIzza. It was all REALLY good. The Antica was a little greasy so I did some degreasing. The salad was perfect and substantial. The pizzas were really flavorful (with a lot of toppings) and the woodfired pizza was crispy and chewy. Just great. We'll definitely be back since we pretty much live right next door!“

“Xenia is my favorite restaurant in the metropolitan area! The service, food, and ambiance is amazing! I have had several work parties here ranging from 20-100 people and the experience was amazing and consistent each time. I come here regularly for dinner and love the quality and consistency each time.“

“The Jewel of India, epitomizes classic and authentic Indian cuisine. Bright on the menu, one can find diversified culinary heritages of India. Not only fine food takes the dining experience here to another level; outstanding warm service does. Attentive and genuinely warm staff place every guest to a special space which can be nothing else than Indian hospitality. Adding on ambience of light and Indian classical music, it is a sumptuous, great experience that lures one back for more. Whether your love of Indian spices is an old affair or you are just coming to these eclectic flavors.“

“I was craving empanadas and got the cheesy beef empanadas. No regrets there, they were truly excellent. The worst part was they were ready so fast by the time I picked them up they had cooled a bit. Came with chips and salsa. The chips were seasoned and the salsa had the right amount of kick to it. This was my first visit but it surely won't be my last.“

“This place is a little hard to find but definitely worth the effort. Great Mexican food and fantastic service. The servings are huge, I think the queso dip could serve 8 people. Margaritas were okay but beers from the giant cooler of beer were cold and refreshing.“

“The food here is always great. I've been going for years, and not once been disappointed. They also have a great bar, where you can have a cocktail while you wait! I highly recommend their fish dishes.Vegetarian options: They offer a veggie plate.“

“Foods pretty good, service is fine. But the main reason to come to the Nude Eel is the MUSIC. They have great bands. And they are careful to keep the volume down - I hate places where the music drowns out everything. I love this place and hope it will be there forever.“

“I don't know why but I was skeptical about Dive Bar & Grille but husband, daughter and I had a great experience and delicious food. The upper level of the restaurant was reserved for a birthday party, but that was fine we went down one level (are there three levels to this restaurant?) We were seated in a booth at the rear of the restaurant in a quiet corner. Perfect! Shortly after we were seated our server, Morgan came to our booth and greeted us. Being our first visit we had some questions about the menu but had already settled on drinks so went ahead and order some delicious drinks called "Sucker Punch". While we were sipping our drinks we studied the menu. Morgan came back shortly and was very patient answering our questions. We ordered an appetizer of soft pretzels with cheese dip for the table. Rich finally settled on a fried chicken sandwich with fries, Jen ordered a French dip with tots, and I ordered a hummus platter. The appetizer was decent and Jen and Rich seemed to enjoy. After nibbling on that for a while out came our entrees. The portions were so generous! I was surprised Rich ordered a fried chicken sandwich but he took one bite and was a happy man. I tasted the chicken and I could understand why. The chicken was moist with a perfect crunchy coating. The only minor complaint was his fries weren't very crisp. Jen loved her French dip and dug right into the pile of tots that did look delicious. And then there was my hummus platter. The platter included traditional hummus, black bean hummus, pita chips, celery and carrot sticks. It was so big that I ate my fill, I shared some with Jen and Rich, and we still had enough left over for lunch the next day. Needless to say we totally enjoyed Dive Bar, the ambiance, the service and the food!“

“Always love coming here when I'm in the area. I used to frequent this place when I lived down there, and still go almost every time I'm back down. Brunch is my favorite, and the duck poutine is phenomenal.Staff is always friendly and great “

“Friendly service in the neighborhood favorite. Huge portions of delicious food, I have lamb skewers and my husband had the gyro platter, we both had leftovers for lunch the next day. Full bar, delicious margarita, southwest egg rolls, stuffed grape leaves and spiced olives were great apps. The home made baklava was a sweet end to a fabulous meal.“

“I am a big fan of Busboys and Poets. Don't expect a high-end restaurant setting, but be amazed by the food and drinks.Their sandwiches are delicious, their Cubano is Top Notch! And the cajun pasta they have, with Chorizo, chicken and Shrimps, is absolutely amazing. The toasted bread they add to it, the perfectly cooked pasta and all the flavors are just delicious.The portions are always more than decent, I rarely go home without leftovers. After coming here, you feel satisfied and you got what you paid for, and more.The drinks are good, they have a nice happy hour and always good pours.Great spot for lunch or dinner.“

“Had several different dishes so far and they're all good. You get more authentic Greek dishes that you can't find at other places. Falafel is crispy, but not too dry. Orange cake with honey cinnamon syrup is outstanding. Got the linguine pasta & the first time the veggies were grilled & it added a nice, complex flavor. All of the other times getting that pasta though, the veggies aren't grilled. $22 is a high price point for essentially veggie spaghetti. The grilled veggies are what really elevates it & I wouldn't get it again without that preparation.“

“This place is the OG! Been going for over 18 years. One of my favorite place to eat in Olney, as it’s close to home, food is great, and prices are reasonable. Wish they were open a little later on weekends. 10pm would be better. Only complaint: Get rid of the Hunt’s ketchup, and switch to Heinz.“

“I hadn't been here in years - and I'd forgotten just how exquisitely wonderful the whole experience is at Ananda! My daughter and I came here to celebrate my birthday - and Ananda did not disappoint! My mood was majorly elevated the moment we walked in the door and took in the gorgeous lavishness that is Ananda. From the warm and welcoming greeting to the decadent desserts this was a 5+ experience! We had Vegetable Samosa Chaat for an appetizer (enough for a whole meal!), Mint and Chili Naan (you must try!), Lamb Vindaloo, Fish Curry, and a side of Palak Paneer. For drinks we had the non-alcohol Organic Berry Smash and Goji Iced Tea both of which were delicious! Although stuffed and sated we HAD to get dessert (it was my birthday, right?) and ordered the Gulab Jamun (oh so warm and scrumptious) and the Flourless Chocolate Torte w/ ice cream. Wait staff and servers were all extremely personable, friendly, efficient, and kind. Ananda is a just tad on the pricey side - but worth every penny! I can't wait to go back! :)“

“Service is much better if you're not dining solo -- I've done both, and believe me, it's a big difference. Menu is limited but the food is usually pretty good, if you can get someone to notice you're there. On my last visit, the only person who saw that I hadn't been waited on was a kind bus person, but I had already lost my appetite and left.“

“There's Cheers in Boston, MA and there's Fusion Bar and Grill (FBG) in Cloverly, MD. Both establishments where everyone knows your name. FBG is the quintessential neighborhood/dive bar, nestled in between Silver Spring and Olney. FBG has various bar foods, specials depending on the day, and Happy Hour ALL DAY LONG on Sunday. All menu items well well-priced and fairly portioned.Support your local business!“

“Was staying in quality Inn and this one was right next to it . From outside it looked a little less attractive but once I was inside I loved the vibe . It wasn’t as crowded as other places … amazinggggggg service ! Loved the quick response and smiling faces in the bar ..They had one IPA ? and it tasted good. Wish they had few other IPAs in the mix . Not too much of beeer choices though I loved the IPA they gave . Chicken wings was also really good . Right spice and well made . Slightly expensive buying ur own drink but it’s ok once a while . 4/5 … parking looks to be tight outside : luckily I walked to this place and didn’t have to drive :) ???“

“This was a fantastic Italian restaurant. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.I came here on a date. The staff gave us a great table. We could really take in the atmosphere and it wasn't loud where they put us, so we could easily have a conversation.I had the daily specials. All of them. I stuffed myself to capacity. It was great. The wine pairing was recommended by the waiter and it was a perfect compliment to the meal. My date was a vegetarian and the staff happily worked with her to ensure her order fit her dietary restrictions. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Went today and had a taco salad and it was great!! Just the right combination of ingredients and was hit and NOT greasy. Server was very attentive and was watching as she removed the plate soon after finishing and stopped by a couple of times to see if everything was ok. Definitely will be returning“

“We recently hosted a company happy hour at Reckless Shepherd Brewing Company and it was a great time! Food was amazing, drinks were delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful. We played games and had a great time coming together! Thank your for a great time!“

“Everything was tops from parking to food service. Thank you. Thank you James Clark from food service for going above to make sure my dining experience was enjoyable and your service was top notch. Thank you for your professionalism and attention to detail.“

“I’ve been seeing this restaurant for years and we finally tried it recently. We really were missing out!! Every single item of food that we ordered was absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful and they were so kind and patient with our toddler. They have a great coloring sheet option for kids with crayons and she was distracted for big chunk of time, which was great for us. I really do love it when a restaurant thinks about their younger customers. Really appreciated that. The atmosphere is great and felt very cozy and welcoming. Not too loud, not too quiet — just right. Seating was ample and there was no wait since we were there on a weekday for dinner. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“We needed space and food for 40 plus people for a reception after a funeral. Could not have asked for a smoother, easier and more pleasant handling of our needs.Seth, Liz, and Neil were incredible!From the moment I contacted Seth through the planning and scheduling, to the execution of the event, everything went off without a hitch.I can't thank them enough for all they did for our family.Everyone, including myself loved all the food items we had. Thank you back of the house!!I will be returning, not only for myself, but business meetings as well.Thanks everyone at River Hill Grill.“

“I stopped in to pick up some wine for my mom, wasn't overly impressed with the store side. Crowded and unorganized.HOWEVER!! I needed to use the restroom before getting back on the road, so I crossed into the bar/restaurant side, I instantly wanted to sit down and have a drink. Everyone was welcoming, and seemed to be having a great time. And for a bar, it smelled really clean, and looked well kept. I called my partner on the way home and told him we had to check this place out our next day off! Don't let your first initial glance going in fool you, I'm pretty sure this is one of those low key awesome hang out spots. Can't wait to go back and try em out!!Wheelchair accessibility: While this is wheel chair accessible, it would be a tight fit initially entering, but after that there is plenty of room to relax and enjoy.“

“Fantastic dining experience! The freshness and quality of the meat were outstanding, definitely not your average cheap cuts. The flavor was superb, enhanced by their unique sauces and seasonings. The pineapple steak is my favorite. The attention to detail was evident as they even took Polaroid photos for us to cherish the moment. Can’t believe they have a full bar here! Because most of Korea BBQ place only have half bar. Definitely a good place to hangout with friends or family.“

“Much Better than the Gaithersburg location. We been going to hook & reel in Gaithersburg for 2 years and this was our 1st time at this location. Everything was 10x better. Only downside is this is a 35 min drive when the other location was only 10 min away. Let’s just say We won’t be going back to Gaithersburg again!! Everything here was Amazing!!!“

“I do not live in this area so therefore I'm not local ...I work for various contractors and travel quite a bit throughout the country.....and have been to quite a few establishments while traveling....this is my favorite place among all the rest.....whenever I'm back in the area I head straight to nuzzbacks.....they treat like a long lost stepchild...lol.....I feel very comfortable there...kinda like home......“

“ELSI Ethiopian Restaurant offers a truly authentic culinary journey through the flavors of Ethiopia. As soon as you step inside, you're transported to a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The food here is nothing short of exceptional, with each dish expertly prepared and bursting with traditional Ethiopian flavors and spices. From the fragrant injera to the richly seasoned stews and savory lentils, every bite is a delight for the palate. The service at ELSI is also worth mentioning, with friendly staff who are passionate about sharing their culture and cuisine with guests. Overall, ELSI Ethiopian Restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an immersive and delicious Ethiopian dining experience in Cityville.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with my mother, sister, daughter and baby nephew. The food was amazing, great portions, cold drinks and wonderful staff! Thank you for giving Kensington a well needed restaurant with a hometown feel! We will be back!“

“I love Kloby's! The food is fantastic, the service welcoming and thoughtful. We celebrated a special date starting with the pork belly deviled eggs and jalapeño pork balls. The deviled eggs were my favorite (who doesn't love a deviled egg?); hubby loved the spicy pork balls. Both are must tries! Careful though, the spicy pork balls have a kick to them (increased just a smidge by the sauce they sit in), that you may not notice until you've eaten the entire thing! Make sure you have water to sip because they are just that good! For our mains we had the meal pictured below, though I had to bring a serving of the Jar-B-Que home to eat for lunch the next day. I will not let another year go by before visiting again!“

“a really great room for music.plenty of room to dance.lots of tvs for sports etc...simple bar menu...lots of burgers.friendly bar staff.large well lit parking lot.sonomas is behind the giant.like most of columbia business',they are poorly marked.fine columbia nightspot.“

“Excellent salads. “Baby Salads” were large and tasty before our entrées. I had the shrimp carbonara which was very nice with large shrimp. 2 others had the scallops special with risotto and loved it. Large portions which we all enjoyed as leftovers the next night. Heath Bar bread pudding with vanilla ice cream was a decadent ending. Service was good, but we were seated by the kitchen which was the only minor disappointment of the evening.“

“This is a great spot. When my kids have a soccer tournament in the area we always swing by here because they have great and quick service, a good menu, and always have sports on the tube! If we are in the area this is absolutely a place to swing by. They also have a great brunch menu.“

“The Upper Crust Bakery is the best bakery I have ever been too. When I was patronizing Upper Crust it was located in Silver Spring. We now live in Upper Marlboro, but I continued to come all the way from Upper Marlboro to Silver Spring just to come to Upper Crust. It's such a wonderful place to shop for all your sweets and breads. I'm still waiting to find out if there is one near me. I love your UPPER CRUST!!!! ********** <3“

“Food and drinks are great. Staff is friendly. The General Manager, Tori, is amazing! The outdoor patio is large with nice fire pits and rocking chairs. They also have fun events like karaoke, dueling pianos, open mic night, and live entertainment. Definitely a great place to visit. This is my new regular spot!“
