Character: Bethesda is largely residential, but has a bustling downtown area with many shops, restaurants, theaters, and corporations.  National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Walter Reed Medical Center are based in Bethesda and are major employers.  Housing is primarily detached homes, but there are many condominiums and townhouses closer to the downtown area.

Enjoy a Meal and a Cold One 

Flanagan’s Harp and Fiddle Catch a soccer game, listen to a traditional Irish band, or just relax and enjoy a pint.

Brickside  Try one of the martinis inspired by the prohibition era.  Full wine and craft beer menu.  A fun and relaxed place to enjoy lunch or dinner too.
