I visited Rock Bottom for a meetup event and had a decent time. I thought the bar service was…read morepretty on point. Since I only had a few beers and cocktails, I cannot comment about the food. The restaurant is pretty large with two levels (and performance area/wing). The upstair area has a few pool tables with another bar. Unfortunately for us, the upstairs bar was not open for service, which meant having to go downstairs for beer and cocktail refills. The upstairs portion of the restaurant was nice, but I thought one of the pool tables was a bit too close to the dining tables. All in this is a pretty decent place to get cocktails in a moderately loud, very-low key bar.

The seating isn't that comfortable at the long picnic tables, but the food was good. My chicken breast sandwich with chips was filling. The nachos were good but very soggy in the center. My gin and tonic was weak but still had a great flavor. It is a well-lit bar but they expect patrons to come in with a cellphone so they can order. Once you do, a server will bring the food and drink to your table.

The back area has the brewery section and additional space for events/private parties. Ordering is done with QR codes at the tables. Service is very friendly. Menu has many types of brews and bar food. They also have wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic beers. Was here for an event. Crowded, bustling and full of life in this joint. Shared a "big cheese" cheese pizza. It has a crispy and slightly chewy crust with a tangy tomato sauce, basil, mozzarella and parmigiana cheese. Comfort food at its best. Others tried pepperoni and veggie pizzas which were also praised. For my beverage of choice went with the Stella Artois (non-alcoholic as I had a long run the next morning). It was light and refreshing. They also had cups and a water cooler at the right wall for those who wanted to hydrate throughout. Love this!

We stopped by Starr Hill Brewpub in McLean on a very busy day, so I understand the staff was…read moredealing with a full house. That said, the service was just okay. Our order was missed multiple times, and we had to follow up more than once before everything finally made it to the table. As for the food, the burger was okay nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. The fries were actually the better part of the meal, cooked well and enjoyable. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it also didn't stand out. Hopefully, the service issues were just a result of how busy they were, because with a little more attention to customers, it could be a much better experience.

Despite coming in for an already beer-filled Snallygaster weekend, I still felt compelled to try at…read moreleast one DC brewery. And fortunately, I found one that was perfectly right and proper! Before entering, Right and Proper had me won over with their outdoor mural paying homage to Duke Ellington and a who's who of local DC jazz heroes. Upon entering, I was even more blown away by their elaborate and wild indoor murals, especially the dog & cat bathroom art, and the EPIC animal battle centerpiece! Since I came towards the end of their night after the Brewers pizza party at Andy's Pizza, I wasn't particularly hungry. But I did make note of their cheese counter, where you could purchase offerings like Midnight Moon, Willoughby, and Morbier by the plate or to go by the pound. They also had a good selection of handhelds, appetizers, dinner, and brunch offerings. However, the best thing might be that, during the unpredictable government shutdown, they had the option to pay a meal or a beer forward to a neighbor in need. I also managed to enjoy their Brussel sprouts that delivered a pleasant umami bomb with its sweet Thai chili sauce and crushed peanuts. For beers, they had a right and proper mix that went beyond the IPA overload, while also having good ones like their Big Tomorrow west coast IPA. Their flights came at a reasonable price and allowed me to enjoy offerings like their Haxan robust porter, Senate Maerzen Marzen Oktoberfest style ale, and Super Carina Italian Pilsner. Factor in all of the above and a good selection of brewery games and table spaces, and they had everything I look for in a solid brewery!

Welcoming and friendly even when I tried to order at the bar instead going to the place at the end to order as the sign clearly states. Sorry I was born in Wisconsin. The wood fired Meat Lovers Pizza was tasty and enough for two. We had a pretzel order and the mustard was spot on. Our beer choice was Stringray Mysterio a very good stout. Also myself the navigator needed and wanted a Mead. So Pina Colada Crush was a perfect choice. We both loved the decor and vibes. The pizza oven which was a crab design was cute but I thanked the men preparing the outstanding pizza. All the staff were fantastic.

I'm biased I know. My only real "issue" was the price of the cocktail. It won't stop me from visiting again.

It's close to home, and when I don't have anything to do, I find myself here. But it's just not the menu selections. Especially on Saturdays, Nelson is the bartender, and he's friendly, welcoming, and handles a full bar very well. And the playlist is always on point when he's bartending. I've heard a surprising amount of dancehall & reggae that I can't help but appreciate when he's there. By the way, you must try the chili nachos and onion rings. Those things are addictive -- and everything is delightfully affordable. Sometimes it's crowded, sometimes it isn't... but based on how I enjoy everything, it should be. And if you're a University of Maryland alumnus or even a fan, you will enjoy the vibe there. There is Terp swag and decor everywhere. They did a fantastic job taking over the space that used to be Hard Times Cafe. And when the weather is nice, they have a spacious patio. With this bar / restaurant, Home Depot, a board game store, and a comic book store all within walking distance of each other, I can't really ask for me, haha. And it's right off of exit 25... so convenient!

The best way to describe the situation is chaotic. I think they only had two people working the floor. So the hostess was also the bartender and server, hence the long periods of disappearing. After waiting some time for our food it was brought out in to go boxes with no napkins or utensils. I opted for the white pizza and found it gross and honestly very disappointing. Staff was apologetic toward the end for the wait. Might return back for a drink and on a weekday.

I would love to return for some of their locally-brewed beer and IPAs as well. Pictured with my review, you'll see my margarita from where I sat at the bar, and happy hour meal, the boneless chicken wings and fries. This place was the perfect place for an office farewell!

The service was excellent from the start. Since it was our first visit, the staff gave us some genuinely helpful recommendations instead of just pointing us toward the menu. We tried a few of the IPAs along with a cider and enjoyed everything we had. We also ordered the pretzels, which came out hot and were perfect with the mustard and cheese dipping sauces. Simple, but really good with the beer. One of the things that really stood out was how welcoming everyone was to our dog. They brought him a bowl of water without us having to ask, and a few members of the staff even stopped by to give him some attention and belly rubs. It was a small thing, but it made the whole visit feel especially friendly. The outdoor space has a relaxed neighborhood-brewery feel, especially in the evening with the string lights. Great beer, good snacks, friendly service, and an easygoing atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Walk up to the bar get a beer. Not walk up and be asked if have a seat somewhere before they hand you a beer. Hi Parice! I'm so sorry about this experience. The City of Annapolis requires us to have a seat for every person, even if they're just having a beer, so we have to seat everyone. We've had a host working weekends since we've been open to ensure this happens. Every table has a number on it now, and we should have done a better job about pointing you to that number before (or while) you ordered. I do hope you'll come by another time. Saturdays in June are some of our busiest days, but there are lots of other slower days when you can come in and easily get a table. Again, we're sorry for this experience and hope to see you again!
