| About: | Rock Bottom Brewery's ample space, handcrafted beers and menu selection make it a great place to gather for lunch, dinner, happy hour or a night out. Micro brew lovers can sample any or all of the five featured beers, which change based on season and demand. All of the beer is brewed in the restaurant by its award-winning brew master. Not a beer-drinker? Rock Bottom has an extensive menu, featuring steaks, salad, seafood, pasta and some ethnic varieties. When weather permits, the patio is a great place to sit. Should the weather not cooperate, patrons can take advantage of the pool tables on the upper level or enjoy a game on one of the many televisions. |

User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsIf you give this place a bad review, then you must have been a horrid customer. The beer is very well crafted and there's usually something new to try. The food is quite tasteful (Calamari is good) I travel all over the world and have a local customer here so I stop in whenever I can. I love stopping into micro-brews (even bad ones) and this one is definitely NOT on the bad list. Excellent place to catch a game or to just be social with friends.

Wow. I've never met a more hostile bartender than the one at Rock Bottom. I will NEVER, EVER return there. My chicken sandwich tasted like fish. It was not a slight fishy taste, it really tasted like they cooked it on the same grill as the tuna and made no effort to clean the tuna off the grill before they cooked the chicken. The biggest downside, though, was the service, which was rude to the point of provocing confrontation. I've been going to bars for 15 years, and I've never experienced anything like this. I also consciously make an effort to be polite to everyone I deal with, so I really don't think I brought this on. Another member in my party had the same reactions and thoughts. There are lots of other good places in Bethesda, my recommendation is to STAY AWAY.
User Rating: 3 out of 5 starsA last resort is still a resort nonetheless: While I'm out looking for some other bar in this area, I keep forgetting that this place is still among the elites in B-town. And while it's not on my hot list, I'll pop in from time to time. What a brewery provides is new experiences. When you get tired of the same "Budweiser and a shot of whiskey" event, try this place. The Raccoon Red ale is great. It has a unique and lively flavor. I would only suggest this place if you enjoy the actual taste and texture of beer. Otherwise, stay away. The food is good too, but it's the usual bar fare. Roomy, spacious and not overcrowded, this place is pretty good.
