50 Best Bars near Derwood

“I love this place! They have a bunch of local and craft beers on tap and one of the best selections of beers for retail in the area. If there is a beer you are looking for but can’t find, as long as the county sticks it, Ashish (the fabulous, friendly owner) will order it. The store is very clean and bright, I never have trouble finding parking, and the prices are on par with other stores. In the wine side of things, there is a good variety and prices seem a little lower than other area stores.“

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

“It's the best place to listen to live music in DC.“

“Hoy llegamos a disfrutar del almuerzo con ESAUD SUAREZ El príncipe de la cumbia peruana, quedamos encantados con la sazón de Margot Guevara, 100% recomendado. bien servido, delicioso se siente el ambiente acogedor.“

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“My daughter and I had an incredible dining experience at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar, all thanks to our amazing waitress, Joanne! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for the whole meal. Her patience was remarkable, especially when we had a few questions about the menu, and she offered insightful, accurate recommendations that truly made our meal memorable. Not only was she knowledgeable about the dishes, but her sense of humor made the experience so much fun! She was so personable, treating us like old friends rather than just customers. On top of that, her level of customer service was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, and always checking in at the right moments. We truly appreciated the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism she brought to the table, and it really elevated our time at Hook & Reel. My daughter and I will definitely be returning, and we’ll be hoping to see her again!“

“Loved the new vendors and stalls! Some are still opening, but what's there so far was pleasant. We loved the unique bathroom situation as well as the free sparkling water. Only downside is the location for real. Walking through chaos, religious rants, and police presence takes away from an amazing place. Hoping the area itself gets better, but doubt it. Definitely worth a try though! We had Tatos and Momo Hub and definitely suggest it!“

“Nice hotel and don’t forget about that delicious cookie!“

“Went for the first time yesterday and Louie made me feel super welcomed from the beginning! They have a great Happy Hour for drinks and food. I ordered a loaded baked potato which was only $5 during Happy Hour and was very filling! Will definitely have to visit again, especially with the specials they offer like Wednesday Prime Rib!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lexy was absolutely incredible from start to finish! She greeted us with a warm welcome and brought a confident, assertive energy to her service that made us feel immediately taken care of. Her hospitality stood out — not only was she attentive to every detail, but she also made us feel completely at home by engaging in genuine conversation about both personal and business life.

The entire experience at Saver was top-notch. The ambience was inviting and stylish, creating the perfect setting to relax and enjoy ourselves. And the food? Absolutely delicious — every bite exceeded expectations.

If you’re in Carmel and want a great meal paired with exceptional service, ask for Lexy. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Such an awesome place! The beer on tap is such a great selection, the owner and beertenders are all fun and nice. The regulars are all fun and welcoming. There's also a store side where you can buy beer and wine, all great selections. Highly recommend them for your next alcohol purchase on the go or to just go and chill.“

“An absolute gem in a fantastic location. The wine selection here is truly outstanding. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. What made the experience even more memorable was the incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined yet welcoming dining experience.“

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

“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.“

“First time here! Love this place!“

“Chelsey was great. Place got so busy and she handled the entire restaurant until the next shift came in. She had a smile on her face the entire time, never pushy just on point with everything. We love this place- great sports and great food. Love the wings nachos and burgers!!“

“Monday night burger special! Even more of a treat is the Monday night speghetti and meatball special. The dish is really tasty, pasta cooked perfectly, meatballs (3) were tastes of every italian spice and meat without being overly spicey. I only wish they offered the steamed vegy and shrimp dish the Rockville location offered. Us girls have to watch our waistline! :) Thank you for opening where we needed a happy place to land with great servers to put a cherry on top!“

“Lunch with small group on a quiet winter weekday no one else in the place. My steakhouse burger was nicely cooked but non-memberable. The place did provide me with the option for a side salad instead of fries, which was made with fresh greens and very tasty. My friend was able to get her burger on gluten-free bread, and they nicely put her accompanying fries on a separate plate for the rest of us to nosh on.“

“I pick up dinner at Strings once a week. My favorites are the wings (dry rub), blackened salmon, and the crab cake dinners. They have never disappointed me on the quality of the food.“

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!“

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!“

“Good music good food good“

“Location location, as they say. This is the spot. I enjoy a good deal of vegan eats later in the evening. This place boasts an uplifting atmosphere and pleasant scenery.

Vegetarian options: I usually get fries but am sure about other vegetarian options.

Dietary restrictions: As a vegan consumer of Champion kitchen and their care for people,it's sure they cater to nutritional preferences.

Parking: Parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Out on the patio attention is paid to wheel chair customers.“

“I have ate multiple times at this restaurant and the service and food was fantastic! The food was hot and seasoned to perfectio“

“We went with omekase. The fish are fresh, including otoro, Hokkaido uni, and kobe beef as some of the high-end items. The presentation is wonderful. They also used the real wasabi in the nigiri, and each nigiri was brushed with soy sauce. Pretty authentic. They also offered the traditional Japanese steamed egg, which is a rare item. My son ordered the innovative Bumble Bee roll, which featured fresh mango slices toppe with a mint leaf-a unique but delicious combo. The service is attenative, and the ambiance is calm. The only downside is the parking. There are only three small spots in front of the restaurant, but I think the patrons can park at the Giant supermarket lot nearby. Overall, we are definitely coming back.“

“I dropped in during Happy Hour by chance for a bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Happy Hour Specials applied to table dining at full sized portions. It was great opportunity to try a pizza and a queso appetizer affordably.

They both were very tasty. The portion size of the queso was smaller than expected but so rich and flavorful that it was satisfying and good to share.

The atmosphere was family friendly despite many people meeting for drinks. My 11yo and I were comfortable and enjoyed our early dinner. I’ll return to try other menu items.“

“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.“

“We had a fantastic date night at The Grove. The oxtail should not be missed and is hardy enough to be a meal. I also wouldn’t skip the crystal bread. We will be back!“

“the hickory burger is absolutely outstanding!!thick and juicy always cooked to perfection and the fries are outstanding their fried pickles are good if you like spears I prefer fried pickles chips but when I had their fried pickle spears I was astonished seasoned well and very crispy“

“A lovely evening from start to finish. Jeff was super friendly in the bar. Made great recommendations and was high service. Yvette was a super server. We had the lobster with one of the Seafood tower starters. Met up with old friends and was seated in the saddle room. Lovely.“

“Wow! My tastebuds went into overload! I ordered a BLT sandwich recommendation from our server (who was great!) and it was the best I’ve ever had! So juicy and unique! The onion rings are definitely over the top as well! Everything coming out of the kitchen from their soups, salads and sandwiches looked amazing! One of my new favorite spots😊“

“Mosaic has been a family favorite, especially their Waffle French toast. Their scrambled eggs are so buttery and flavorful and their mushroom soup is good as well. Service was great and restaurant wasn't nearly as busy on a Wednesday as it is on weekends.“

“Takeout has its limitations. Tonight we ordered burgers and a pizza. They forgot the pizza and by the time it arrived the burgers were stone cold and the fries a soggy pile of grease. I want to support DFH but if it happens again, I'll wait until indoor dining resumes.“

“Fun fun fun really good time here“

“worst service ever. My family and I actually had to walk out and we were a group of 10. They did not want to serve us and I was told I should of made reservations. I watched the waitress/server clean other people’s table and completely ignore us. A customer who was a regular had to wipe down my table for us (I should’ve walked out then )but we drove an hour to come here And we were trying to just deal with the poor customer service so we can eat. Customers that were seated after us were able to order before us and receive their food. when we finally had the opportunity to order food we were told that they were out of oxtails pork and fish which made no sense because people were still ordering takeout for the same items we were trying to order.. You would think we were sitting there for free meals. The waitress told me she was going to the back to check to see what they have but when she came back she went to the bar area and started taking someone else’s orders and completely ignored us .We ended up walking out with no apology given. She Just looked at us as if she was happy to see us go because she couldn’t handle a table size of 10 people. All we were trying to do was support our Haitians. Its a shame we were treated so poorly. I suggested this restaurant to my family who drove an hour to be treated so poorly .Do not visit this restaurant“

“Excellent service and food is very good“

“The tacos were delicious but my favorite was the shrimp tacos, yummy. The mango margarita was also beautiful and delicious!“

“This is literally the best Japanese restaurant. They have the best shrimp shuma. The service and atmosphere is awesome too! Little pricey but totally worth every penny. Awesome place in DC if you're looking for some authentic Japanese food! 💖“

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

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

“Tried to order carryout from the 3-coure meal menu. Told that the items on the 3 course meal were not there. Tried to order filet of sole and salada da Horta. Seemed like bait and switch“

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

“SO welcoming and great instruction for line dancing!! Amazing community and so fun I kept coming back and made it a weekly routine! The food here is actually pretty good (standard bar fare but the salmon and salsa top notch) and drinks are generous pours (and too cheap to be Maryland pricing). Highly recommended.“

“So cozy! Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“Your sign is blocked by trees. As first time visitors we drove right past even though gps said we’d arrived. Had to call from the car to get directions. Also need a sign for location of your handicapped ramp. It too is hidden from view.“

“I loved my experience here and I was so surprised it was relatively empty on a Friday night. My brothers fiance kicked off her bachelorette weekend here with a party of maybe 16-18 people and a three course family style meal. The service was AMAZING. Everyone was super kind and friendly and quick to remove our plates, refill our waters and make sure we were good. At the end they kindly took a group picture of us. We had a lot of dietary restrictions and they made sure to coordinate who can eat what dishes. On Friday and Saturday nights there are belly dancer performances and wow our performer was so beautiful, talented and fun. I would definitely come back and I would love to try different Lebanese dishes. Thank you for having us!“

“the best in gaithersburg👍👍👍👍“

“Grape Escape is a unique treasure – they have a fantastic beer/wine selection, they’re a cool local hangout/bar, and they’re an intimate live music venue. The beers are perfectly cold, and the staff warm and helpful. I enjoyed Grape Escape under previous ownership and have found the new owners to be equally as gracious and completely committed to maintaining and growing its coolness. I look forward to many more years of frequenting this fun shop and gathering place!“

“Came here after a long day at work to grab a drink and it was worth it. The staff were kind and attentive from the hostess Zoe to the bartender Emily. I tried her own concoction of the shiso mojito and it was amazing! She really knows what she is doing, will be back here more often after work! 10/10“
