AlexC Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Five or six of us are meeting for drinks in Bethesda tonight. I'd love to go somewhere more casual than Blacks, more interesting than the Clyde's in Friendship and less horrible than, uh, Caddy's. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

AlexC Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Mussel Bar Jaleo American Tap Room We stopped by American Tap Room -- crappy domestic beers, room felt somewhere between Bennigan's and Clyde's, we had a beer a left. Plus, it was packed, so maybe I am not the best judge of bar quality. Then we went to Mussel Bar -- much cooler space and more interesting crowd, way better beers, we stayed there for a few hours. My only complaint was some of the beer prices were laughable... $15 for a small bottle of Gouden Carolus? $14 for a Gulden Draak? Seemed steep to me. Perhaps I'm just spoiled by Churchkey.

Beer list on-line looked like it offered more than your typical domestics. http://www.americantaproom.com/assets/files/Bethesda_BeverageMenu_11-22_Web.pdf Agree with you the pricing of some beers at Mussel Bar.

davekahler Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I would try Rock Bottom on St. Elmo. Good place to gather and they have a wide selection of their own microbrews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
