My favorite spot in Bethesda with a neighborhood feel. Delicious food at an affordable price, there are always happy hour deals and the service is incredible. A very cozy place to hang out, watch sports or catch up with friends. The event space is great and accommodates large groups. I definitely recommend the Crab Dip and Philly Cheese Steak.

What a place, lived up to its reputation (which we learnt when we were there)… some of the best buffalo wings on the East Coast. Guy behind the bar was very chill and attentive. Highly recommend!

Discovered this great local bar whilst on a short stopover in Bethesda travelling back out of the US. Great atmosphere, awesome bar staff, and good food with a decent beer selection. Really nice to find a non-corporate owned venue with real character and real people. Big thanks to Bob and his staff for making a couple of weary Aussie travellers feel so welcome!

Went here during Sunday night football, it was packed and everyone was having a good time watching the game and just enjoying their night. The staff was friendly and quick to serve us even with being so crowded. Prices might be a bit higher than I’d expect for a place that feels like a local/industry spot but overall I enjoyed it.

My wife and I were in town for a seminar at the NIH. We happened upon the Barking Dog while exploring the area. We stopped in for lunch and ended up staying to watch a Notre Dame football game. The food was excellent, the service was great, and staff was very friendly and accommodating. We visited again and found the same service and atmosphere. I highly recommend you enjoy this wonderful experience for yourself.

My friends and I enjoyed lunch on a relatively quiet winter weekday. Although the service was not quick (we arrived just after two larger groups), the food arrived piping hot. My chicken quesadilla was topped with a pleasantly spicy drizzle. The fish, of the fish and chips, had noticeably flavored coating. The Doghouse Burger came on a real kaiser roll which stood up to the juicy burger. This place strives for dive bar ambience but is far too clean, and with too well-made food.

I met a wonderful person att the #barking Dog and everyone in Washington DC should go to this place to se Liverpool play live and enjoy the bear and service. It is perfect.
Wonderful people and great staff. If you are lucky you will meet a wonderful person that is working there her name is Stefanie and she will take good care of you.

Been coming here on and off for the last 20-plus years. They know what they’re doing. We just held our 25th HS reunion there — really easy to work with, and everyone had a great time.
