It's just south of the shopping center with the 16 screen Regal Cinema. Rockville in spring? I wonder where. NOTE: The original thread, with great photos, is in the Baltimore Forum.

This article says that "Under the concept, a current restaurateur would close and rebrand his space as a Chaps." The mystery deepens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it was popular enough to keep going all these years. Had it not been for the fire, would have stuck around many more. I'm just saying that if there's enough business to keep Dietle's going, I'm sure Rockville could support a Chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came of drinking age at a time when you could smoke in bars, so the sight of tobacco stains and the scent of cigarettes take me back to the fun times of my early years. I live near Dietle's and went there every now and then. It was seedy but the people were friendly (esp. Friday afternoons when it was like "Cheers"), and the beer was cold and cheap. Rockville could support a Chaps. Taking one of their sandwiches to eat at one of the local breweries or even, possibly, a resurrected Dietle's (https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/business/new-movement-to-revive-hank-dietles-arises-from-ashes/ ) would be a great weekend afternoon.
