50 Best Bars near North Bethesda

“I love this place. The staff are fantastic at calming things down when playtime gets too rowdy or when one dog seems overwhelmed, and they clean up any waste right away. It's really obvious that everyone who works here really loves dogs, and they welcomed my dog Murphy like family! I also appreciate how organized they are about immunization records because it makes me feel safer about all the interaction my dog gets here. Murphy always comes home happy and tuckered out! I'm a happy annual member.“

“We go for the cake…and everything else…especially those amazing tacos.“

“Attended great performance by dueling piano duet at this location. Got premium tickets, and we were seated at the table right next to the scene. Ordered drinks and food and enjoyed the music. Helpful staff and good environment. Food was reasonably priced for location. Parking is either at the building (limited), across the building, or around the corner on old Georgetown rd. Overall, it was a good experience.“

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.“

“Lovely spot in the Dupont Circle Hotel. I don't usually choose hotel restaurants but this was a perfect spot for a quiet lunch with a friend. Our server, Miguel, was fantastic - very helpful, thoughtful, and just the right amount of time spent at our table. The GM (don't have his name) was also very nice - funny and attentive from start to finish. The food was very good, I had a salad with salmon on it, and my friend had the crispy salmon lunch. Highly recommend if you need a classy, quiet spot in downtown DC.“

“Perfect comfort food on a cold day“

“The DC Fray softball league is at another level! I hadn’t had so much fun playing sports since I was a kid! I can only imagine all the hard work that goes into creating such an awesome experience. Also shoutout to our host Zev, he really made the whole thing such a blast, keep up the good work. I can’t wait for another season with Fray!“

“We had a party of almost 30 people in the private room, and Elvis was absolutely wonderful in organizing the event with me during the two weeks prior. The service was great, as was the meal and everything else, all adding up to a highly recommended place for a private event. Merci beaucoup, Chef Cédric.“

“The food was absolutely amazing. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was perfect. The only reason I gave it four stars was due to price. Our meal was over $500, including the tip. I'm so glad we went but will probably not go back due to that.“

“I can't say enough great things about Lutece. My wife and I shared one of the best dining experiences we've ever had in DC there recently. The food was sublime (duck confit tagliatelle was my personal favorite). The wine service was impeccable. The staff was super chill yet very attentive. And the atmosphere was perfect for the moment. We sat at one of the high top kitchen tables, which I highly recommend. We'll be back for sure.“

“Spectacular flavors! We saw the great reviews and were not let down. By far the best octopus I've ever had. Everything - dolmas, greek salad, seafood pasta - was incredible. Absolutely traveling back to eat here again to explore more of the menu.“

“Absolutely outstanding. Cannot recommend The Little Grand highly enough. Their pizza is the best in the DC area and their service and atmosphere are incredible as well. Straightforward and thoughtful menu and the staff are more than happy to help you determine the best options for your taste, just ask. Cocktails are awesome and the wine list is focused and always interesting. Definitely check it out.Parking: Always parking available on the side streets.Kid-friendliness: Great with kids. Very welcoming atmosphere for families, especially early in the evening.“

“great services! good drinks!“

“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. ❤️“

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

“The iron skillet paella, the service, and their overall kindness was really great to this out of town visitor. 5 ⭐️“

“Great drinks, attentive and fun bartenders in a cool, laid back atmosphere. After experiencing a night of disappointing and overpriced cocktails, this place made all right with the world. I ordered a Paper Plane and it was fantastic. Love this place.“

“A great surprise! First time tasting Ethiopian cuisine, we really liked the flavors even if some were a little spicy for us... a cuisine that deserves to be known.The service was very long at the beginning before someone came to see us but the waitress was very nice and we were then quickly served.We recommend this address!“

“Great place for mussels!“

“All of our appetizers and our two pizzas was a real food experience. The creations and presentation were outstanding. We had a large variety and each dish was amazing . The pistachio baklava cheesecake was over the top. Staff very friendly too❤️“

“Great drinks & the servers were very attentive.“

“Yes! I love the concept. I love how it’s a hand made patty and the burger was cooked perfectly. In addition, you have an option to add items to your burger if you do the build your burger option. You can also choose their preselected choices which look really good. I chose to add sautéed onions, bacon, and Italian sausage. I will say although the Italian sausage was good, I wouldn’t add it again; it didn’t hurt the burger overall. You choose your seasoning (I chose basic), sauce (house bbq), lettuce and tomato. I also ordered the seasoned fries (garlic parmesan). I was curious so I asked for the spicy ranch. It was pretty good.“

“Great and unique-tasting food for the DC area“

“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!“

“I've always wanted to try this bar ever since it opened. We came on a Saturday around 9:45/10pm (it closes at 11) and it was very lively! The bar itself is small so it may be hard to get the bartender's attention but when you do, they are very efficient and helpful. There's plenty of seating in the Bryant Street Market food hall, so you can take your drinks away from this boisterous end of the market if you want to have a quiet conversation. We only tried 2 drinks, the mezcal and regular tequila margaritas, on this visit. The menu looks intriguing and I'd want to come back to try a few of their more complex cocktails. The food bites looked good when others ordered them, but they did seem small so you might want to order more if you're hungry or check out other places in the market. They have a happy hour as well, so I'll have to make a return visit to check that out!“

“amazing great little small bar with s roof top. sooooo gooood“

“Honestly Vagabond is one of the coolest spots in DC and it seems to be so low key right own as few people come here to enjoy a night out. The food is amazing and the ambience is also so chic and bright and illuminating, I love the rooftop area, and the drinks are incredible. My favorite at the moment is the Sunzal. A must visit in AdMo“

You can tell she really enjoys her job and wants to do it and this is hard to find nowadays. Drinks and food was absolutely delicious. I will visit this place again and again.“

“The food and service was great“

“Living just around the corner, I've found Red Light to be my go-to neighborhood spot for delicious pizza and a welcoming atmosphere. The convenience of having such a gem nearby is truly unbeatable.What sets Red Light apart, besides their mouthwatering pizza, is their exceptional staff. Each visit is greeted with genuine hospitality. I have to give a special shoutout to Tyler, who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure guests feel right at home. His attention to detail and dedication to customer service are truly commendable.One aspect I particularly appreciate is how they include the tip in the totals and they always make sure I know! It's a small gesture, but it makes a big difference, especially when I'm enjoying a meal with friends and family. Not having to worry about calculating tips allows me to relax and fully enjoy the experience.“

“Bar food, friendly, and community. I hadn't heard of this place until a week ago. Make this your bar. Great food, decent prices for DC, yeah I get DC prices, and a soul. Go, have a Wherever I go, He Goes. Get vegan Mac, I ain't vegan - pause, think I just asked you to get vegan mac - and the short rib burger. Enjoy.Vegetarian options: I am a hunter and meat eater, vegan mac and cheese. Vegan bowl is fine, mac and cheese is truth. Also, I date a vegetarian, forgive me, nachos no meat, veggies nachos unreal.Kid-friendliness: I walked in with Mom and son here. Definitely kid friendly, you might have one random yelling about a ballgame but entirely family friendly.“

“This is a new bar on U street that caters to the LGBTQ community, though all are welcome. They have very nice bartenders and a very nice decor. I will go again.“

“Consistently the best traditional pizza around. Can't get this type of pizza where i normally roam.Orders are pretty quick, food always tastes fresh.Only comment is wish they had an option for roasted veggies and potatoes instead of side salad on paninis.“
