38 Best Beer Bars near Chevy Chase

“Best apartment complex on the Strip! This building has everything you could ever need as a college student. The leasing and maintenance staff are friendly and helpful. Hands-down the most convenient place to live as a UMD student, as it's the closest apartment off the high way and only 10 mins away from downtown silver spring!!!!“

“I have not only travelled to Thailand, but studied Thai cuisine and also attended cooking classes. This place is the REAL DEAL!!!! Not your run of the mill pad thai place. More northern cuisine if you are familiar with it, think Chang Mai. Everything is out of this world, great bar and drinks, friendly and warm staff that attends to your every need.“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying the chicken chashu rice bowl. It definitely was not what I was expecting; it was a pretty large bowl. It took me some time to see the bottom of the bowl but I finished it. It was so good. I wish I was a kid thou... My son was served the same meal in a small bowl in addition to a bowl of ramen noodles in a broth, (he was nice enough to share...it was really good), 2 pieces of chicken and a small bowl of noodles ce cream as part of the kids meal. Renee was a great waiter and the host, Seth, took the time to explain the specials to everyone at the table. Be sure to come hungry, you will leave satisfied.Atmosphere - people and the area was great. I just found the restaurant too dark.“

“Amazing dinner with my family and a friend. The service was top-notch! My husband raved about his duck confit, and I loved the braised short ribs. Not many options for the kids entree, but they were happy when the Belgian waffles came for dessert.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for kids.“

“Bistro Cacao was an outstanding choice to cater lunch for a very important business meeting. The food was AMAZING, from appetizers, salad, main course and dessert! Highly recommend them for your next event, meeting or just a fine place to dine!! Great Service, Great Food, Great Presentation!“

“I was in DC for a couple of days and after a day of sightseeing, was ready to chill and grab some beers. I'm a huge craft beer fan and saw that Other Half's DC location was pretty close to where I was staying. I've had quite a few of their beers and also been to their brewery in Brooklyn, which was boss. This location was equally good. I ended up getting four beers, two NEIPA's, which were both really good and fresh and also two barrel aged beers, one was great, the other not so much. Service was on point and the guy behind the bar was very friendly and accommodating. It is a large space with outdoor seating and there was a quiz going on while I was there. You can also buy beer to take away too.“

“The restaurant has a very small space and you could definitely feel the close proximity that makes it feel cramped.Despite this, we were seated very effectively and the food was delivered in such a timely manner.The dish options were normal but not overwhelming and the appetizers and entrees were incredibly flavorful. I would say depending on your dish, it may be smaller or larger than you expect.I would advise not taking a car as it probably applies to all of DC, public transit and walking access was amazing and the area did not feel unsafe at the 8pm hour that we ate.Overall, we enjoyed our service, a comfortable authentic Mexican place for visitors!Parking: We saw some parking spots but very difficult to navigate around this area with car.“

“Very good bar/vegan food. Prices seem all over with place, with some items overpriced and some quite cheap. Example: burger for $16, but a generous plate of eggplant fries + dipping sauces for $3. In total, it was about $30 for a burger, fries and a beer for one person. Maybe I’m just not used to DC prices, but it felt expensive. Good vegan food, though, and fast, friendly service.Vegetarian options: Full menu is vegan“

“Very bright, warm, friendly location. Drink offerings are varied and refreshing. The staff are always responsive and even offers firepit in the winter. Definitely has grown exponentially since their initial opening. Great local brewery. Parking has been a battle as far as access, but the location is very cute and welcoming.“

“Came for a drink and the bar is pretty cool. I came by myself and the service was fast and friendly. They have beers on tap, all kinds of alcohol and snacks - make sure you are not hungry when you come in. The setting is great, downstairs, large bar, lots of seating. Definitely a fun place to get a drink even on a Sunday night.“

“*Visited April 7thMy usual ramen spot closes at 3:30 pm and reopens at 4:30pm- which caused me to find another ramen establishment. Came across Hanabi Ramen and ordered the Gyudon beef .It was like listening to a beautiful- yet technical violin concerto comprised of 3 movements:The Broth will represent the 1st mvt (Adagio)The seasonings and the tempura crumbs complementing the broth will represent the 2nd mvt (Allegro non troppo)The beef and the Udon noodles will represent the 3rd mvt (Presto)Resulting in a perfect dish, the beef reminded me of a hint of bulgogi (something I make at home) pairing very well with the broth adding such a contrast between a light sweetness and savory note. Perfectly balanced and composed I can detect there was a lot of thought put in the dish and I just loaned for more. Every taste was a new discovery and I was highly impressed. Very homey with a lot of notes and I will be back at the establishment again soon!“

“Really delicious, cat-themed restaurant with the same vibe as its counterpart, Lost Dog Cafe. My burger was juicy and flavorful and the cocktails were spectacular — pricey — but super fresh and creative.Vegetarian options: All burgers come with a vegetarian option and most of the other sandwiches are riffs on a grilled cheese.Parking: There is a small parking lot out front, but the spaces are a bit tight.“

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“Decided to get a bacon cheesesteak from here. I ordered online and food was ready within minutes. The cheesesteak was pretty delicious and had a good amount of meat on it. Probably one of the top 3 cheesesteaks I've tasted around the area. Service was good as well. Amole parking is available and the restaurant has several food options!“

“I just wanted to post a review to say THANK YOU to the staff today!! I took my husband there for a "surprise" belated birthday get-together with family...I wasn't sure if 5 people or 15 people were going to show up! Our family loved the atmosphere and the food was soooooooo good. It was also so family friendly, as we had 6 kids under age 6! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again, but I'm sending all my NOVA family your way!!“

“I've been to Midlands twice. First off, props for being a Michigan alum bar - Go Blue! Love the patio and chill vibe - great spot to relax while hanging out and sampling beers, etc. Solid beer selection, per my husband. Today I ordered the Strainge Beast hard kombucha which was awesome. Ginger, lemon, hibiscus. Loved it! We also needed a light midday snack so my husband got the $3 happy hour brat and I ordered hummus/pita. The hummus tasted great and was the perfect consistency. I'd love some veggies in addition to the pita bread, though. The service has been welcoming both times I've come. All in all, Midlands is a terrific neighborhood hangout spot and I'm sure to be back when visiting the area.“

“This eatery gave me a compelling reason to give 5-stars. They were pleasantly polite and respectful. The place was extremely clean and had a friendly ambiance with tidy table. I enjoyed the food which was ready in 10min. Overall, a great experience. Enough parking available if you drive.“

“3.5 rounded up to 4. Over the years have been to all their locations including Nationals Park and also had their food truck experience. Food: their meats are excellent. Really good smoke on them and juicy. Tasty enough without an sauce. Their approach to brisket is different. They slice it very thin which brings out the smoke flavor even more in my opinion. However, I find their sides to be lacking. They are just there so to speak. Nothing impressive. Service has always been good. Prices are competitive.“

“The food was good, and so were the drinks. The servers were all very nice and personable, though it could be hard to get their attention. The space had cool vibes but it was a bit hard to find a place to sit, especially since the outside area (we went on a cold and drizzly day so we wanted to stay inside) takes up about half the space.“

“I came into the establishment around 215 to 20 and I waited at least 5 to 7 minutes for someone to notice me and come take my order. Some of the kitchen staff was watching me and I could tell they wanted to help but they were mending their stations the lady taking my order was not very helpful. She didn’t say hi to me. She simply stood in front of me didn’t seem to interested in my order so I had to figure out how to order exactly what I wanted since it was my first time the steak and cheese was delicious however so I will give it a four stars for the quality of the food but not very good customer service I’m not in the mood of going back and paying what I paid for awful customer service“

“This place has filled a void left by Carpool (I know it's back, at least in Virginia Square). One big difference between the two is the food. The pizza is great and I really like the steak and cheese. It has a nice amount of games, but not so many that it feels gimmicki. I feel like beers are pricey, but that is pretty much everywhere these days.“

“Literally my favorite place in the area. Food is incredible from around the globe, service is outstanding no matter who it is, and the atmosphere is amazing! It gives you a concert venue feel with an amazing sound system. They book the best bands and have different themes during the week. There’s something for everyone here!“

“This is a priceless spot. The staff is so warm and welcoming. Sit at the bar if you can. The drinks are fantastic, the food is right out of a Mexico City kitchen on a Saturday night. The posole almost made me cry, it was absolutely perfect. If you're aware of what flavors taste like after being slowly developed, you'll love this place. The decor also reminds me of someone's kitchen. Beautiful, colorful, but unpretentious and comfortable.“

“It doesn't look like much from the outside. But just walk through those doors and you'll immediately change your mind.Fantastic brews at great prices, amazing food made by a skilled cook, and friendly, charming service from the bartender.This is one of those hole in the walls that will reward you greatly for stepping in.“

“Stayed at a local hotel and ordered from Door Dash. SECRET SPICY CHICKEN was great. Pretty much like General Tso's Chinese but a tad spicier. Large pieces of good quality chicken, even the medium order was too much for me. Pair it with steamed white rice, put the rice in the sauce. Very good.“

“Wine store and bar in one. Relaxed ambiance and great wine. The bar gets pretty full around 4-5 but for good reason everyone likes to hangout here especially after work. If you end up really liking a wine you can buy a bottle from the store section which I appreciated“

“i was able to order so much delicious and filling food for a really good price. the customer service was beautiful and the atmosphere is gorgeous although empty because there werent many people. i will 100% be coming back and ordering again !!! the food is phenomenal and i had enough for leftovers !! im left feeling full and sleepy, its that type of food :)“

“First time here tonight. Our group of three had the cod tacos, steak wedge salad and Cubano sandwich and all was delicious. Our server was Shauna and she did a great job for us - listened well and made good recommendations for us - very personable and very good at her job. It was a little loud due to being crowded so a little hard to hear - otherwise nearly perfect experience. Would definitely go back!“

“Listennnnnnn, I've had Astro Doughnuts before and they are amazing. But the one in VA is the only one that gives you a doughnut with espresso in it! They cut a hole in the doughnut put Nutella in there and that keeps it from soaking the doughnut.....whoever invited this is a genius. Chicken sandwiches was one of the best I've had in the DMV. The service was fantastic. She informed me on the specials and how the coffee doughnut was made.“

“We were pleasantly surprised with this place - good food, great drinks, wonderful service - what’s not to like! The food came out fast (in a very full restaurant on a Friday night, mind you!) and it was good. Unlike some other Mexican restaurants we’ve been to, the house margarita in this place is a very good one, not watered down and had a good bit of tequila in it - so if you want to relax with family or friends after work one night, this is the place to be, we certainly enjoyed it!“

“Just happened to drive by Paradiso and decided to stop for a lite meal. Ordered the New Year's 4-Pork Special 12" pizza with pepperoni, salami, sausage, basil, asiago, and mozzarella cheese, minus the prosciutto (cutting down the salt intake) You can taste the spices in the red sauce. The pizza is not overwhelmed with cheese, but the cheese combination is delicious. The crust was lite and crisp. It was piping hot and stayed relatively hot to warm as we enjoyed this deliciously wood-fired pizza, with nothing left but crumbs. We paired it with the Homebrew award winning Paradiso Dunkelweizen beer, a nice Mellow taste. Great for a non-beer connoisseur. Okay, great corner location with free parking lot next door and street parking. Nice decor with plenty of seating inside with full panel glass doors that open to the patio during the hot summer days. Covered patio seating outside in front and side of building. Bar seating inside and outside as well as a heated tent. This location is handicap accessible. Mon-Tues closed. Wed-Thurs 4-9pm and Fri-Sat 1-9pm. Paid $43 for two drinks and pizza. The staff are welcoming. David our server was very attentive.Will return to sample other items on the menu.Parking: The restaurant is located on a corner next to the neighborhood. You can find parking on the street if none is available in the nearby parking lot.“

“Space is a little tight in the market. But the Argentine soul is in these empanadas. Owner is a very friendly and unforgettable person. Kept me entertained while food was cooking. Definitely a 11/10. Would love it if it came to my city. Definitely worth a “

“Went here for lunch because I work nearby and it was a great choice! Even though it's a little pricey (because of location), I got the mac and cheese grilled sandwich (almost like a grilled cheese sandwich) and I was full! It was only $10 (not including tax and tip) and it's a great lunch choice. The restaurant was empty inside but it looks like a great place to go after work hours. There were a couple of people at the bar relaxing but it was dead, otherwise. The bartender was too nice and funny. We were doing an inside joke and she was playing along. Overall, great experience. I would love to go there after work hours and eat while watching a sports game.“

“Takoda is a great place to pregame or stop by mid day in dc. Lyndsey and Daniel took care of me at the bar and they were amazing. Their bar manager Pete, the head bar tender, came by later on to make sure I was okay with the service which I really appreciated. The atmosphere is great. Yasim the manager also came by to check on me. Nice music and good seating. The beer choices and fired pickles were amazing. If you get the chance, come to Takoda and see Lyndsey for sure.“

“I come to DC frequently, and this place is a MUST! The food and vibe are ok. What keeps me coming back is the bartender, Ben. You'll immediately recognize him. He's the one with long hair, Auburn hat (his only downfall...Roll Tide), and the absolute best southern accent in DC. His conversations, attention to detail, knowing what I want and getting me to try new things that I find I love, and overall down to earth/welcoming persona is what keeps me coming back. It's a pleasant surprise to find courteous staff in DC. Thanks, Ben! See ya again in January!“

“I had the kimchi burrito and it was absolutely genius and delicious. Kimchi fried rice in a burrito essentially and it was amazing. The business is Korean owned which always makes me happy. Both of the owners were incredibly sweet and kind. Basically, go give them your business. You'll be happy you went.“

“What an absolute delicious pizza I ordered! I went to participate in a PTA night for work and picked up Pizza Pie Me for dinner. I ordered the Buffalo & bbq chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious. Service was great! I called before leaving work and it was ready in 15 minutes!“

“Loved their burgers.But they always forget to make the shake. I shouldn't have to remind them, and if I finish my meal and remind someone his priority should be to get my shake, not do other stuff. And if I have to remind you a second time, the same.“
