50 Best Wine Bars near North Bethesda

“We had salmon and a filet, and they were wonderfully prepared. The atmosphere around the bar was very pleasant. The staff is marvelously friendly.
The front door is hard to find. (It's in the courtyard.) They need some good directional signage!“

“Adrian is the absolute best bartender Ingle Korean steakhouse can have. He was so respectful but yet so chill. I was able to enjoy my night out. This is my first time here and he recommended me the Galbi fried rice. Which didn’t disappoint. Shout out to the chefs in the back! Enjoyed the meal and the service I’ve had tonight. Definitely coming back. Spading the good news here 🤙🙌“

“Charming smaller restaurant with friendly service, a very good wine list and delicious food. Once you find street parking, you can choose from several small tables on the street or comfortable seating inside this very attractive restaurant. There were three of us having dinner which consisted of Gnocchi, Chicken Milanese and an outstanding pork chop with caramel sauce. This restaurant really is a neighborhood gem. The noise level is high, but that is the only negative thing that I can think of to say.“

“Great ambiance, food and vibe“

“Nice wine pair with mussels. Reasonable pricing.“

“One of my favorite locations in DC, great wine selection, the food is pretty good overall (desserts could be improved though), the staff is friendly and efficient.

If you're french and feeling homesick, it is a great place.“

“Ottimo , ci siamo sentiti a casa“

“got a reservation last second in december so i could check out the holiday decorations after hearing of the restaurants history from a TikTok!! worth visiting for the vibes, and the free shots of amaretto!“

“We walked in 45 minutes before our reservation and they accommodated us. Their Martini's and Old Fashioned's were impeccably prepared. We had Steak Tartare, Chorizo Dumplings, and Blackened Cod. They each had unique and unexpected flavorings that challenged any preconceived ideas we had, they were each unique and the flavor profiles worked across them. I would go back and try separate offerings.“

“❤️ Neutral Ground Bar & Kitchen“

“Great meal recently at Cucina Morini !!! The food, service and drinks were all on point !! See the photos for our recommendations !!! You can order half orders of pasta !! Perfect if you want to try different things.“

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“Great place!! The atmosphere was charming and the food was great! The staff was very knowledgeable about the wine and provided great customer service.“

“Exceptional throughout from the rooms to dining to sophisticated and attentive staff - thank you for having us.“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am Mexican and this food is just as great as it is in my own country, adding a touch of sophistication, fun and spark! Highly recommend it.“

“Great food, wines and service.“

“This place is MOST AWESOMENESS! A definite must come eat!“

“If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.) This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast. It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather. The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.“

“We had never tried Afghani food before, and I am so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They recommended the Mini Taste of Arocostia for our first time. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The food was cooked perfectly. The service was great! We never had to ask to have our beverages filled up, because they were already on top of it before we had to ask. They packed all our leftovers into boxes for us for our way home. We will definitely be going back!“

“Everything was amazing on a birthday dinner evening for two. The opening salvo by the staff and charming decor were engaging, and the first potato crisp mushroom dish: sublime. Been thinking about it for weeks. The other dishes and juice pairings went SO well together, and the finale eggplant and fennel skewer was outstanding. Also been thinking about that for a while… as someone who normally isn’t huge on aubergines. Thank you all for a delightful evening. We’ll be back.“

“Each dish kept getting better! Was not disappointed with anything I ordered and I ordered almost the entire menu! The service was top notch, was running behind but no wait! Our server and food runner were amazing as well and the management! Great ambiance as well!“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I've been to this place twice now and had amazing meals each time. It really feels like a best kept secret, but I hope more folks catch on as this place is great and I'd love it to stick around.
I really enjoyed the snapper, grilled artichokes and chile relleno, but all the dishes I've tried have been great.
It's a small place with a long bar, a few tables inside and a small patio outside. They have an awesome selection of mezcal, tequila and cocktails. Very easy to walk in and get a table, but the quality of everything was great (it's honestly confusing).
Definitely recommend!“

“What a nice dinner! We were hesitant as my idea was to go to the Red Hen opposite the street, but I’m glad we did. Sitting on the terrace on a summer night was very pleasant (but bring a repellent). The waiter (Terry) was super friendly and relaxed, made a great pasta recommendation. The puttanesca fettuccine were indeed a treat, everything homemade and perfectly balanced, with a kick from the pepper flakes. The price is reasonable and we will gladly be back.“

“Nice little neighborhood wine bar. Nice selections, friendly bartenders / waitstaff.“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“I was headed to another pizza spot, but something told me to look again. So glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed this pizza. It was spot on. A simple cheese pizza that wasn't simple at all. The flavors, with just a hint of garlic, were so good.“

“Great everything. Atmosphere, food, drinks, service....good music too! 🎶“

“It is finally nice to eat a meal the marries spices from different continents together to create/perfect comfort foods. Phenomenal.... A party in your mouth!!!“

“Nice place and Sol Roots Trio performance was excellent!“

“We are tourist & was searching for a place too eat since our first choice for dinner totally ignored us after we sat there 30 minutes we left. This pizza joint is absolutely delicious. The thin crust was delicious especially on the cheese pizza. The only negative thing I have too say is y’all charging too much for a house salad. I mean if you gonna charge $14 @ least give me something other than basic lettuce.“

“ambience and service were great. i should have stuck to french classics. i got the ravioli off the summer prefixed menu and my review on that is 2.5. also escargot was more spinach forward not garlic for my taste. our server was great and actually spoke french“

“Great experience tonight celebrating a birthday! Ava was an awesome server and we enjoyed listening to Jeff play his bagpipe and guitar! ☘️Thanks, George!“

“good burgers, nice vibe.“

“Great in every respect: quality and quantity of food, service, and ambience. A real treat!“

“My wife & I had a wonderful and delicious dinner while catching-up with our son & his girlfriend last evening. Fantastic meal & our server Michael was outstanding.“

“We stay at this Ritz-Carlton location from time to time, and Entyse is a focal point of those visits. It’s an all-day operation, and indeed the only dining option on-property. The bartenders and wait staff are highly attentive, personable, and quick to remember your preferences. There’s usually a decent crowd, and on weekends there’s live music ranging from jazz piano to a classic hits band.

While it is definitely a lounge first and a restaurant second, there is a decently extensive menu for each breakfast, lunch and dinner with a number of tempting options. There’s also a bar menu that’s served all day and until midnight daily, which is a godsend for the weary traveler arriving late in the evening.

So many places close early in this post-Covid era that it’s great to see a proper hotel bar open late nightly.

Oh, and if you’re a wine person like I am, you’ll certainly enjoy the 25+ options offered by the glass. Although we are guests of the hotel, it’s easy to see why so many locals frequent this lounge too.“

“the food 😋is delicious and the service is great“

“Doesn't disappoint from walking in to finished meal. Classic Italian, top notch service, worth every dollar spent.“

“Thank you for such an amazing experience.

The owner, Tim, was incredibly kind. He came over to our table a few times, sat with us, and even shared the story behind the pasta. Learning that everything was made from scratch made the experience even more special.

Everyone was so warm and welcoming. I didn’t catch the name of our server, but she was an absolute sweetheart.

The atmosphere felt like home…like a neighborhood spot where you’re just eating with friends. Truly reminiscent of Italy.

Chef Nick even came out and brought a special dessert for my nephew, which meant so much, especially since we were celebrating his birthday. Out of all the places I could have chosen, I’m so happy I chose Ulivo. It genuinely felt meant to be. This will definitely be a place I come back to!“

“I'm so glad my friend and I discovered this great happy hour spot a short walk from the GW/Foggy Bottom metro. It has a lovely, serene, covered patio that is one of the few spots in DC where you can have a conversation without yelling over the din. The happy hour menu is a great deal and lasts until 6:30 pm. The burger and mushrooms we tried were delicious. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. Everyone was very warm and attentive.“

“A very inviting corner restaurant, great for people watching and cocktails. The drinks were nice and the atmosphere was lux. We went on a Saturday and it just felt like they needed a manager around. Felt like they were really understaffed and not ready for the crowds. There were some people who had worked there longer and were directing others, and the food did come out of the kitchen timely. But there wasn't a sense of table service really, you just catch them when you can, know the candle won't get lit even after you asked and teach the server how to swipe the card. I wish they had someone tending to things, but maybe when it's slower it will be better. The pizza was good, and lots of pepperoni. I wished it wasn't quite as soggy in the middle but it tasted good. And the burrata had no flavor, no nice olive oil or pepper, very bland, but it was a hearty portion. Can't complain about the drinks. I can sense when there's no service concept so I hope they get it together.“

“Great ambiance and great drinks 🍹 totally recommend for a fun night out 🥂“

“Delicious Food, Divine Wine, Lovely Evening! We shared appetizers, desserts & wine while we visited this wonderful restaurant!“

“Always enjoy Seasons 52 at Tysons for its healthy dishes and great bar service (i.e., Sammy!). Their entire team does a great job and the food is delicious (think chicken pesto cheese flatbread, pork chop, shrimp & grits, an array of salads, etc.). Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Very welcoming and well mannered staff! Hubby and I went to dinner here and it was delicious. We definitely will be back!“

“Wife and I ate there for the first time last night, it was incredible. The service, the food, the atmosphere, all top notch. Can’t wait to go back!“
