"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."
