40 Best Bars near Burtonsville

“Great experience. The place is a bit small but wasn’t overcrowded even for a Saturday evening. The people service was fast and very accommodating, I guess that’s the plus side of only having a few tables to service. The atmosphere was nice, and the food was affordable. The only downside is I wish they had happy hour on Saturdays. Most happy hour these days are Mon- Sat if not everyday. It could bring more revenue for the establishment to have happy hour for a few hours on the weekend“

“The food is great. The wait staff is friendly and competent. The ones who aren't end up vanishing and working at other establishments that have lower standards. Go there every week.Dietary restrictions: Have had multiple times where the chef himself came out to verify dietary restrictions or just that the food is good. Never had a chef do that at any other regular restaraunt“

“What a gem! Went with two girlfriends, we spent a fantastic evening. Comfy, service was wonderful, and food might be the best Ethiopian I’ve had after living in Silver Spring for twenty years.Definitely worth the little detour from the main drag!“

“Dok Khao Thai Eatery is a culinary odyssey into the heart of Thailand, where every dish is a postcard from paradise, and the service is as warm as the Thai sun. With its trendy vibe and an ornately adorned dining room, Dok Khao sets the stage for an experience that's as visually stunning as it is gastronomically gratifying.Our adventure began with the Crab Rangoon, Crispy Salmon Rolls, and Chicken Satay. Chicken Satay, the ever-charming ambassador of Thai appetizers, is elevated to new heights at Dok Khao. The slow-grilled marinated chicken, served with peanut sauce and cucumber sauce, is so tender and flavorful, it could easily start a diplomatic mission of deliciousness. Crab Rangoon, a delightful twist on the classic, where wonton meets crab meets cream cheese, creating a well-balanced trio of flavor, all served with a sweet & sour sauce that's more like a love potion than a condiment. The Crispy Salmon Rolls, perfectly fried, marrying marinated salmon with rice, seaweed, sesame seed, and flying fish roe, all wrapped up like a gift waiting to be unwrapped. It's a fusion that's as daring as it is delicious.The Lychee Duck Curry is a love affair between roasted duck and spicy coconut red curry, with lychee, cherry tomato, bell pepper, basil, and pineapple adding sweetness and depth to this rich, aromatic embrace.The Spicy Eggplant, with its sautéed eggplant, finger pepper, bell pepper, and basil in a spicy tangy black bean sauce, is a fiery flirtation with the tastier side of danger. Meanwhile, the Volcano Seafood is an eruption of flavors, with shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid, and jumbo lump crabmeat creating a seismic shift in your seafood expectations.I would be remiss if there wasn't a mention of the truly fantastic noodle dishes with a southern Thai twist -- their signature Dok Khao Pad Thai and Bamee Gang. The Pad Thai Pad Thai, a riff on the classic, where thin rice noodles dance with peanut, roasted pork, egg, bok choy, and bean sprouts in a homemade spicy sweet soy sauce that's nothing short of legendary. The Bamee Gang takes your taste buds on a journey where egg noodles and marinated grilled chicken mingle with bok choy, ginger, and crushed peanut in a spicy curry sauce that's as complex as Bangkok's bustling streets.Desserts at Dok Khao are the perfect encore to an already spectacular meal. The Thai Tea Creme Brulee is a silky seduction of Thai Tea custard with a hint of vanilla bean and a touch of Grand Marnier, while the Golden Banana and Mango Sticky Rice are sweet serenades to the soul, ending the meal on a high note of tropical bliss.Overall, Dok Khao is a vibrant celebration of Thai cuisine, served with a side of flair and a dash of whimsy. So, if you're in Columbia and your spirit yearns for an adventure, let Dok Khao be your guide. It's a journey where every dish is a destination, and every sip of their fantastic cocktails is a toast to the tantalizingly tasty cuisine of Southeast Asia.“

“I absolutely love the vibe and atmosphere! Went to celebrate my boyfriend’s dinner we were seated right away, only issue was that the waitress didn’t come to greet us . We sat there for lil over 20 mins waiting . After speaking to management the waitress came over and apologized. She was very polite, eager to help us . Let me tell you the food was , steak was perfection!!!! Our waitress was awesome for the rest of the evening . Prices wasn’t bad . Just wish it was more to choose from menu . My boyfriend food was great he had salmon with honey hickey sauce .Parking: Parking lot free!“

“I know! It's rare to get 5 Stars across the board. But the ambiance on a Saturday afternoon was fitting for my girlfriends and me. We were the only ones in the restaurant, so the service was great; the good service continued after additional parties came in. The food was delightful.“

“We have a complicated past with Roscoe's. We live just a block away in Old Town Takoma Park. When they opened we went there a couple of times and it was just plain bad. There were almost no toppings on the pizza and it was all pretty tasteless. So for the last more than a decade we've avoided them - which bummed me out. I love to support our local businesses but there have been, in the past, a few clunkers. And Roscoe's was yet another one. But the other day when I was walking my dog I thought, "Why do I always see people eating both indoors and outdoors there?" So I thought, "Well, let's give them another chance. Maybe they've change in over a decade!!" And have they ever. My husband and I had the Roasted Beet Salad, the Antica Pizza and the Siciliana White PIzza. It was all REALLY good. The Antica was a little greasy so I did some degreasing. The salad was perfect and substantial. The pizzas were really flavorful (with a lot of toppings) and the woodfired pizza was crispy and chewy. Just great. We'll definitely be back since we pretty much live right next door!“

“Food was very appealing and tasty, not overly seasoned. Good size portions. Nice atmosphere to get in, sports bar area attached.Staff is kind, professional but a bit slow. On this day I went they got a little disorganized.You must have patience on busy days.Parking: Busy times you may have to park on side streetWheelchair accessibility: Yes, accessible“

“I loved my experience at Banditos, our bartender, Sav, had great energy. The only complaint I have is that the manager, Bethany, was pretty grumpy and uninviting. I felt like we were being rushed out by her, she was glaring at us as we were finishing our drinks and kept calling for our bartender as he was trying to help us. But Sav definitely saved the mood, he kept us laughing while politely closing up the bar.. he definitely knows what he’s doing as far as customer service and the industry goes.I do think this is a great establishment, however the manager was severely unprofessional and completely lacked the enthusiasm to work there.“

“This place is a little hard to find but definitely worth the effort. Great Mexican food and fantastic service. The servings are huge, I think the queso dip could serve 8 people. Margaritas were okay but beers from the giant cooler of beer were cold and refreshing.“

“The Jewel of India, epitomizes classic and authentic Indian cuisine. Bright on the menu, one can find diversified culinary heritages of India. Not only fine food takes the dining experience here to another level; outstanding warm service does. Attentive and genuinely warm staff place every guest to a special space which can be nothing else than Indian hospitality. Adding on ambience of light and Indian classical music, it is a sumptuous, great experience that lures one back for more. Whether your love of Indian spices is an old affair or you are just coming to these eclectic flavors.“

“Really nice to go for brunch or dinner. Pretty and on the river. Food is good and came out fast. Very polite staff. Also has a speakeasy bar below it. There is also a walking trail right across the river, you walk to historical bridge to. Great for a date. Parking is around the back from where you arrive.“

“Foods pretty good, service is fine. But the main reason to come to the Nude Eel is the MUSIC. They have great bands. And they are careful to keep the volume down - I hate places where the music drowns out everything. I love this place and hope it will be there forever.“

“Always love coming here when I'm in the area. I used to frequent this place when I lived down there, and still go almost every time I'm back down. Brunch is my favorite, and the duck poutine is phenomenal.Staff is always friendly and great “

“Had several different dishes so far and they're all good. You get more authentic Greek dishes that you can't find at other places. Falafel is crispy, but not too dry. Orange cake with honey cinnamon syrup is outstanding. Got the linguine pasta & the first time the veggies were grilled & it added a nice, complex flavor. All of the other times getting that pasta though, the veggies aren't grilled. $22 is a high price point for essentially veggie spaghetti. The grilled veggies are what really elevates it & I wouldn't get it again without that preparation.“

“Hands down our favourite spot to dine out for any occasion. Enchanting, warm inviting atmosphere inside and out. Creatively delicious food and drink with gorgeous presentation and exceptional service. We love the seasonal farm to table touches from the proprietor’s very own farm. Great for date night, special occasions, or just to be transported from the daily grind. This is where we take guests visiting from out of town and they ALL swoon. The staff at this restaurant clearly take pride in what they do and are constantly finding ways to make it even better. If you haven’t been, you are missing out. It is always a delight.Parking: Never a problem. Large lot.Kid-friendliness: Our kids adore this place. From young kids up through adulthood.“

“Great dinner spot. Menu is a little limited if you don't eat pork, but we really enjoyed ourselves. Fast and great service. Delicious food.Dietary restrictions: Lots of pork and seafood on the menu, but they have enough for everyone to find something to enjoy.“

“Me and my partner are regulars here and the entire team is awesome. The servers work their butts off to give you the best experience, and the food is consistent every time we go there. It’s a gem on Main Street, and everyone should go. Happy hour is great and happy hour food options are on point.“

“Amazing Experience! Food was definitely on Point and my Waiter was very informative and took me thru the entire menu with my Family and I. Suggested what to try and maybe avoid based on our tastes. The Bookstore was a Plus as I was able to get a book for my Daughter. Would recommend this location to anyone who is looking for a positive vibe.“

“I’ve been seeing this restaurant for years and we finally tried it recently. We really were missing out!! Every single item of food that we ordered was absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful and they were so kind and patient with our toddler. They have a great coloring sheet option for kids with crayons and she was distracted for big chunk of time, which was great for us. I really do love it when a restaurant thinks about their younger customers. Really appreciated that. The atmosphere is great and felt very cozy and welcoming. Not too loud, not too quiet — just right. Seating was ample and there was no wait since we were there on a weekday for dinner. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Arrived at the location and ordered theFish and fries with cheeseShrimp , lemonadeThe bartender (Kylie) was great. Very attentive to our needsFood was plated very good.Parking: Great location for my first visit. Will visit on a Friday or Saturday to get a better vibe.“

“This was a fantastic Italian restaurant. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.I came here on a date. The staff gave us a great table. We could really take in the atmosphere and it wasn't loud where they put us, so we could easily have a conversation.I had the daily specials. All of them. I stuffed myself to capacity. It was great. The wine pairing was recommended by the waiter and it was a perfect compliment to the meal. My date was a vegetarian and the staff happily worked with her to ensure her order fit her dietary restrictions. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Was staying in quality Inn and this one was right next to it . From outside it looked a little less attractive but once I was inside I loved the vibe . It wasn’t as crowded as other places … amazinggggggg service ! Loved the quick response and smiling faces in the bar ..They had one IPA ? and it tasted good. Wish they had few other IPAs in the mix . Not too much of beeer choices though I loved the IPA they gave . Chicken wings was also really good . Right spice and well made . Slightly expensive buying ur own drink but it’s ok once a while . 4/5 … parking looks to be tight outside : luckily I walked to this place and didn’t have to drive :) ???“

“There's Cheers in Boston, MA and there's Fusion Bar and Grill (FBG) in Cloverly, MD. Both establishments where everyone knows your name. FBG is the quintessential neighborhood/dive bar, nestled in between Silver Spring and Olney. FBG has various bar foods, specials depending on the day, and Happy Hour ALL DAY LONG on Sunday. All menu items well well-priced and fairly portioned.Support your local business!“

“Excellent salads. “Baby Salads” were large and tasty before our entrées. I had the shrimp carbonara which was very nice with large shrimp. 2 others had the scallops special with risotto and loved it. Large portions which we all enjoyed as leftovers the next night. Heath Bar bread pudding with vanilla ice cream was a decadent ending. Service was good, but we were seated by the kitchen which was the only minor disappointment of the evening.“

“We recently hosted a company happy hour at Reckless Shepherd Brewing Company and it was a great time! Food was amazing, drinks were delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful. We played games and had a great time coming together! Thank your for a great time!“

“Everything was tops from parking to food service. Thank you. Thank you James Clark from food service for going above to make sure my dining experience was enjoyable and your service was top notch. Thank you for your professionalism and attention to detail.“

“This is my go to spot. I've tried multiple items on the menu and I have not found one thing I have not liked yetThey make everything fresh !! The staff is fun and welcoming you feel like family here. Ooh did I mention how good the drinks are !!!!!“

“We needed space and food for 40 plus people for a reception after a funeral. Could not have asked for a smoother, easier and more pleasant handling of our needs.Seth, Liz, and Neil were incredible!From the moment I contacted Seth through the planning and scheduling, to the execution of the event, everything went off without a hitch.I can't thank them enough for all they did for our family.Everyone, including myself loved all the food items we had. Thank you back of the house!!I will be returning, not only for myself, but business meetings as well.Thanks everyone at River Hill Grill.“

“Fantastic dining experience! The freshness and quality of the meat were outstanding, definitely not your average cheap cuts. The flavor was superb, enhanced by their unique sauces and seasonings. The pineapple steak is my favorite. The attention to detail was evident as they even took Polaroid photos for us to cherish the moment. Can’t believe they have a full bar here! Because most of Korea BBQ place only have half bar. Definitely a good place to hangout with friends or family.“

“Much Better than the Gaithersburg location. We been going to hook & reel in Gaithersburg for 2 years and this was our 1st time at this location. Everything was 10x better. Only downside is this is a 35 min drive when the other location was only 10 min away. Let’s just say We won’t be going back to Gaithersburg again!! Everything here was Amazing!!!“

“I stopped in to pick up some wine for my mom, wasn't overly impressed with the store side. Crowded and unorganized.HOWEVER!! I needed to use the restroom before getting back on the road, so I crossed into the bar/restaurant side, I instantly wanted to sit down and have a drink. Everyone was welcoming, and seemed to be having a great time. And for a bar, it smelled really clean, and looked well kept. I called my partner on the way home and told him we had to check this place out our next day off! Don't let your first initial glance going in fool you, I'm pretty sure this is one of those low key awesome hang out spots. Can't wait to go back and try em out!!Wheelchair accessibility: While this is wheel chair accessible, it would be a tight fit initially entering, but after that there is plenty of room to relax and enjoy.“

From the fragrant injera to the richly seasoned stews and savory lentils, every bite is a delight for the palate. The service at ELSI is also worth mentioning, with friendly staff who are passionate about sharing their culture and cuisine with guests. Overall, ELSI Ethiopian Restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an immersive and delicious Ethiopian dining experience in Cityville.“

“The atmosphere is relaxed is what I was trying to post in my last review (darn autocorrect). The beer selection is still wonderful and it is a great place to meet up with friends. Some seating is more comfortable. If you're interested in Trivia they host a Trivia evening; call to find out when.“

“a really great room for music.plenty of room to dance.lots of tvs for sports etc...simple bar menu...lots of burgers.friendly bar staff.large well lit parking lot.sonomas is behind the giant.like most of columbia business',they are poorly marked.fine columbia nightspot.“

“I do not live in this area so therefore I'm not local ...I work for various contractors and travel quite a bit throughout the country.....and have been to quite a few establishments while traveling....this is my favorite place among all the rest.....whenever I'm back in the area I head straight to nuzzbacks.....they treat like a long lost stepchild...lol.....I feel very comfortable there...kinda like home......“

“This is a great spot. When my kids have a soccer tournament in the area we always swing by here because they have great and quick service, a good menu, and always have sports on the tube! If we are in the area this is absolutely a place to swing by. They also have a great brunch menu.“

“I wouldn't consider our trip a typical one Berghaus it was game night (Ravens vs Chiefs AFC championship), so they were super busy. I'd definitely give them another try, although it was pricy for what it was. There's plenty of TVs everywhere, so you're pretty much guaranteed a good view of the action.“

“Stella Pointe restaurant offers a great dining experience with its combination of excellent food and stellar service. The quinoa and steak wrap exceeded expectations. The steak salad was great, with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors. The wings were a highlight, exceptionally tasty and cooked to perfection. The plating/presentation was surprisingly on point. We rounded off our meal with the indulgent funnel cake fries, a sweet and crispy treat that left us thoroughly satisfied. Throughout our visit, the staff exhibited professionalism and attentiveness, contributing to an overall positive experience. Stella Pointe truly shines with its delicious offerings and top-notch service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable casual dining experience.“

“I just had to write a review to thank our waitress, Jess, for the amazing service she provided to me and my group. We had a party of 15 for a coworkers birthday and she went above and beyond for us. She was kind, attentive, and went out of her way to make our experience perfect. Thank you so much Jess!“
