The Barking Dog

Not much else to say. Bethesda classic.

To be fair this is only a review of the appetizers because when I got there the kitchen was already closed:

The Good: tater tots with tasty dipping sauce; the mozzarella sticks.

The Bad: buffalo wings. They just were not good...like something I could make.

Otherwise this place is a typical sports bar. No complaints.

We recently had my son's Bar-Mitzvah there and it was wonderful. The owners, John and Bob were a pleasure to work with and the staff was on top of everything. I spent the night not having to worry about any details as I knew they were there. The food was delicious (try the burgers and chicken fingers) and there was never an empty plate. We rented out the first floor for the adults for the first 2 hours and the kids had the entire upstairs for the 4 hours. The adults joined the kids after their 2 hours and they loved having the option of a quieter environment or hanging with the kids upstairs (with the DJ.)  If you are looking for a great place for an event, you found it. I would have the Bar-Mitzvah party there all over again.
