OVERVIEW
The Bethesda location of this national chain serves pizza, pasta, and burgers in a bright, open bilevel dining room surrounded by shiny brew vessels, which contain four home-brewed ales. Three semiprivate spaces are available for events: The ground-floor Phillips Room overlooks the glass-encased brew house and seats 70, the sports den seats 25 around a large-screen TV, and the mezzanine Brewers Lounge holds 75 and includes pool tables and a separate bar. Rock Bottom also has a location in Arlington.
