The Barking Dog - Bethesda

Went to watch the World Cup Final. WOW, what a game. Had some irish coffee to start the morning, add two Raging B*tch beers. Good atmosphere. Their fries are decent too. The service was fast and consideret. Sat at the bar and had great view of the tv screen. They have plenty of screens around the place, awesome sports pub.

The Barking Dog is my happy place. Its the only bar of its kind in Bethesda. Filled with excellent bartenders, managers, staff, and people. They have giant ? for sports, tables if you want a more relaxed restaurant style service, and a big space upstairs for parties. This place feels like family in Bethesda and doesnt pretend to be something it isnt. Food is great, drinks are great. Everyone is welcome and you can play whatever music you'd like. Its a neighborhood bar for friends, family, and strangers to come together and have a good time.

Pro: outdoor seating, nice staff, big tv all around. Con: loud music. After getting a recommendation from a staff at world of bear, we decided to stop by and grab a drink. The establishment has tv all around to view at every angle. The staff was very nice and attentive to our needs. The music was very loud and it was hard to hear conversations with our group.

Great neighborhood bar. Service was wonderful. Atmosphere exactly as stated. Fried pickles were delicious!

The last dive bar in Bethesda, and well worth that title. Good beer selection, solid menu, a few too many televisions for my liking, but not all that distracting. Great customer service. A solid local joint.
