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.“

“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.“

“First time here! Love this place!“

“I consider Jackie and the crew at Hook & Reel Wheaton to be friends of mine. I work close by and pop in at the bar often. The Happy Hour, which starts at 1PM (yes, you read that correctly) has insanely low prices, and the "pour" on both glasses of wine and cocktails are unmatched. Great ambience, clean as a whistle, a ton of regulars at the bar and a Touchtunes jukebox on the wall to bring your own soundtrack with you. What's not to LOVE about this place? 🍷🍹🥂🍻🦀“

“Wait staff are terrific! Friendly and helpful, they know my favorite order but don’t take it for granted that on Monday I will always ask for a burger!“

“I had researched the World of Beer before our visit to DC and the surrounding areas.
It didn’t disappoint one bit, nice roomy sports bar atmosphere, prompt and friendly bar staff who were always on hand to help. Beers were the highlight for me, as a beer lover the choice was immense and the smash burger sliders were a food highlight. Don’t change anything guys, everything is perfect the way it is, Bravo.“

“Mezeh in Gaithersburg, Maryland is wonderful. Generous portions, the greatest variety of superb vegetable toppings, and the best falafel. Manager Mayra and employees are friendly, helpful, efficient.“

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

“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!“

“This is an adorable wine bar- everyone is very nice and professional and they absolutely know their wine styles - it just feels like it caters a bit too much to older folks but could really attract more millennials with some improvements. With Rockville/Kensington becoming younger and younger there is a lot of potential to bring in more business if they remodeled a bit and boosted the atmosphere (better music, more talkative staff, maybe some wine-special events like a “Pinot noir night” or themed around highlighting specific regions…or trivia is always safe). Good luck!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This just might be my new Monday night spot. Game night and karaoke vibes were real chill. Lots of laughters, lots of fun, looks off inner child joy. Probably might be the best Beef Tibs I ever tasted and so tender. Just might have set a new standard. Waitress was friendly, host was friendly. It was truly a vibe that I needed.“

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Every thing we had was so delicious. We started with genmaicha tea as it was a chilly day and then ordered appetizers.
The
tea was perfectly roasted and cozy. We had the rock shrimp and fried sweet potato- lightly fried and full of flavor. Next I had the salmon teriyaki and friend has Ramen. Also delicious, no complaints. The true winner was our waiter. He was so welcoming, accommodating, funny and kind. Will be back very soon.“

“Good music good food good“

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

“Our server was very friendly, and gave us a lot of helpful information about the restaurant or even recommendations of what food to order and explore the restaurant.

I was surprised about the Zucchini chips as the sauce and crispness of the chips was delicious.

The atmosphere is very unique and fun to be in.“

“Excellent service and wonderful ambience ! The Reuben with their in-house made corned beef is on the short list of sandwiches I consider the Best! Bravo !!“

“I've been a regular customer at this yard house location for the past two years. The overall experience is consistently topnotch. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is vibrant, and the service is truly excellent. Eric the bartender deserves a special mention, he is absolutely amazing, highly attentive, and always provides incredible service!“

“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 Grove in Potomac is truly a gem. What they’ve done with the space is incredible, it’s warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. My go-to dishes are the chopped salad and the honey walnut salad—both are fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent, proving that simple dishes done well can really shine. Add in the live music on Thursday nights, and The Grove becomes more than just dinner—it’s an experience. The atmosphere, food, and music come together to create an amazing evening that feels both elevated and comfortable. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or planning a night out, The Grove never disappoints.“

“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“

“This is a great neighborhood spot for beer and wine. I typically stop by for the weekly trivia but I've also attended larger networking events here and come over for the ocassional night cap. It's a cozy place and the staff is always attentive and friendly.“

“Had my daughter’s 15th birthday dinner today. The place was BUSY with a charity bar crawl. Even so, they did a great job attending to us and my meal was great! Rick was an amazing host. Will definitely come back again!“

“I had such a great experience at Mosaic Cuisine! We absolutely loved everything about it. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and very chic — a really pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal.

We ordered the Breakfast Mosaic and a Nutella waffle with fresh strawberries and banana, and both were amazing. Everything was super tasty and beautifully prepared. The hash browns deserve a special mention — honestly the best hash browns I’ve had in my entire life! Perfectly crispy and full of flavor.

The coffee and strawberry lemonade were also amazing - fresh and delicious!! The only thing I didn’t personally care for was their syrup, but that didn’t take away from how delicious everything else was.

Overall, a fantastic experience. Great food and service, lovely atmosphere, and a perfect spot to enjoy with family. We will definitely be coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“Fun fun fun really good time here“

“the BEST place to be on a Wednesday night!! Line dancing here is so much fun. Lessons from 7-8pm which are great for beginners, and then open dancing from 8-10pm. Arielle leads a great class with tons of energy. There is also pool, cheap drinks, and food!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our Village Settlements, an Atlantic Closing & Escrow Company frequently host events at Brews & Barrels and it is always a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐➕ experience🎉🎯‼️ Thank you too General Manager MARLIO and Bar Manager DARWIN for your exceptional welcoming hospitality And ongoing care throughout our event 🎉🎈‼️Our menu selections are presented wonderfully, very delicious and plentiful ‼️We and our guests always have a great time‼️“

“I thought it was good and I really like it“

“the best in gaithersburg👍👍👍👍“

“First try of cuisine from Lebanon - nice one!
We went there for dinner on Saturday evening, and find the atmosphere of the place really nice, with very professional service. The server was not checking on us every 5 second, which we particularly appreciated, and they offered us a free dessert at the end.
The food was good - we really liked pita bread with the oil, eggplant dip was a nice mix of flavors and falafel was good as expected.
My husband took a lamb and minced beef dish, served on the rice - it was good but the meat seemed boiled. To be fair, we have no idea though, if this is how this dish should be served.
I took chicken shouk, the meat was really juicy and tasty but not sure if a chicken breast, some rice, 2 mini tomatoes and a bit of garlic yogurt are worth 25$. One star less therefore for the mains.“

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

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

“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.“

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

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