    Hank's hosted a great show from the "Oxymorons" followed by the headliner "The Thangs" and it was a show! Intimate and perfect for dancing and drinking beer! Glad they are back from the Ashes!

    Awesome night with good people enjoying good live music with Paulie Boy Blues Band doesn't get much better. Real slice of Maryland and Americana! I will definitely be returning.

    Early in the set. Place fills up quick

    Cozy and unique spot in this neck of the woods. Good beer selection; food's nothing special--chips & salsa and sandwiches. Show up for the music but be early. Seating's limited and only one person was working the bar, switching the kegs and serving the food (tip well!). The menu's electronic and it's on the wall, so you'll either have to position yourself advantageously, or yell over the music and hope the order's correct. (It usually is, but not always. Roll with it.) As others have noticed, it's a friendly crowd, which makes a big difference in the vibe with a place this size. They rigorously maintain their events calendar, so keep an eye on it and you'll find something to like. Support the small guys!

    Always enjoy the music and atmosphere there. They keep a tavern ambience. Go there for the music and friendly atmosphere - laid back Happy Hour. Decent beer selection. I would suggest the tavern to replace the high top table chairs (felt like the seat was pushing you out..but maybe that was to get you out on the dance floor?).

    Hank Dietle's Tavern is serving cold beer again! When a devastating fire in 2018 put this bar out of commission, the longest running bar in Montgomery County (and it's first liquor license) was no more. Alas, after three years and lots of struggles faced with great determination, Hank Dietle's is open again since Friday, July 24, 2021. The tavern offers live music and drinks, and the new owners have even added a small menu. It's a fun little place, and I'm so glad that its sign is lit again!

    Fun venue for great music. This a small, intimate venue. The drinks are reasonably priced as well.

    Cool music venue. Arrived late, so didn't try the food, but seemed relatively unique based on the menu.

    Great music venue, but eat beforehand. Very small menu selection and no modifications. So eat either before or after the shows.

    Came here with some friends to watch the NBA finals game. The place was definitely packed and when…read morewe first walked in there were no available seats at the bar so we were standing for a while but I didn't mind. The atmosphere here is great and I love how there's a DJ playing. Theres TV's everywhere plus they have a huge screen in the middle so it's great for watching the games. I only tried the Philly egg rolls which were served nice and hot. They were very delish in my option and crispy too!

    The worst customer service experiences I've ever had…read more I came to Sports & Social Bethesda to watch the World Cup Final, and as a customer who paid for food and drinks, I expected basic respect. I am in my final weeks of pregnancy, and the way your staff treated me was absolutely unacceptable. A staff member initially seated us, but another server suddenly told us to leave. We politely moved cuz we thought another reservation ppl arrives or what. Just realized they came for walk in cuz i saw they have armbands. Then, while we were standing nearby with our drinks, another staff member came and told us to move again because someone else who stands near us wanted the space for wings lol. Are you kidding me we also ordered stuffs and barely standing at the corner. I have lived in the U.S. over 15 years, and this was honestly one of the rudest and most poorly managed experiences I've ever had in my life. I understand busy events can be chaotic, but repeatedly moving a paying, even we standing in corner not even seats with heavily pregnant customer around with zero consideration is unacceptable. If you don't want to lose business, either treat customers fairly or train your servers properly.

It was definitely a loud atmosphere, but not something I minded. The service was a bit slow, which was understandable given how busy they were, and our server was friendly. Sitting at the sushi bar, I did notice several orders being mixed up or sent back, which may have contributed to the slower service. As for the food I ordered, it was just okay... nothing really stood out or wowed me tbh. I got the soft shell crab and a shrimp tempura taco. They were decent, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the quality. I didn't end up ordering any sushi, so maybe when I'm craving some sushi I'll come back to give that a try.

    Met with relatives who live in the area and wanted someplace elegant and w good reviews. Place was…read morevery nicely decorated though chairs by the bar made it difficult to walk down the aisle to the restroom. Server was very attentive. We started w drinks, pappadam, pani puri, had some samosas, and then 4-5 entrees - which included chicken tikka, lamb vindaloo (spicy), malai kofta, chana masala, cucumber raita and several orders of garlic naan. Food was good, not the best Indian food i have had, but good. Would consider trying again when in the area.

    The restaurant inside is very nice. I would say elegant without being off-putting. We were seated…read morein the back at a nice table for two. White table cloth. When we were seated, the host lit a table candle. We immediately received water and a plate for sharing of crisp papadums with what I think was a mango chutney. The crackers were crisp and flavorful and the chutney was delicious. A great start. We ordered two appetizers to try them: Mulligatawny soup ($8.99) - a very nice portion came in a bowl accompanied with two cups/spoons. We each had at least two small cups of soup from the one portion. Excellent soup. Samosa Chaat - ($10.99) - another very nice sized portion for sharing. And also excellent. A bit spicy and very flavorful. Entrees: Lamb Shank - beautifully prepared. Accompanied by rice. We both were surprised it didn't come with some vegetables on the sauce (like a few carrots), but the lamb itself is very flavorful. Yellow Daal - it's good. I likely wouldn't get it again as it was fine, but not great. Nothing wrong with it, but everything else was so flavorful and distinctive that this just seemed "fine". Chilly Garlic Naan - should have gotten an order of regular naan or garlic naan. This was so spicy that it was unpleasant to eat. My partner and I both like spicy food, but the spiciness interfered with our enjoyment of our entrees. Again, it's not the fault of the item - it's more of a warning that the spiciness is overpowering. I assume other people like this, but I prefer something that complements as opposed to overpowers (to me). Service was excellent throughout the meal. Full from the appetizers, we took most of the entrees home. Probably will discard the naan, unfortunately. Again, maybe you'll like it. I'm really glad we came here and will be back again.
