The Barking Dog has been pouring a killer selection of traditional and craft beers, mixing up great cocktails and serving delicious bar food for over a decade.

We know that you will have a great time no matter what night of the week you decide to stop by.

    Ordering takeout was a quick and painless phone call. A short walk from the southern Bethesda main drag, the bartender was quick to accommodate me while I waited for the meal to be wrapped up. The food was still hot when I returned home. I ordered the Hickory Smash burger which was excellent in just about every way, although I couldn't find a bit of BBQ sauce on it. This was easily fixed with the copious amounts of sauce packets they included, and while not exactly as described, was incredibly delicious. The fries weren't bad either, and with a little more salt and/or seasoning could've been perfect. Considering that this meal was consumed without any alcohol, it stood very well on its own and provided a good deal of value despite the elevated Bethesda food prices.

    Id love to talk the owner and educate him as to what the state and federal laws for service animals are before he continues to illegally harass service dogs and improperly coach his employees. Usually their social media manager (i am assuming johns wife) has some quippy clapback but so far no response, which speaks volumes to their character and professionalism.
