A spacious, two-level space at 4800 Hampden Lane awaits an ambitious restauranteur in downtown Bethesda. To spur interest, leasing agent Cushman and Wakefield has commissioned an architect's rendering of what the restaurant could look like. The fictional "Bethesda Brew" actually looks and sounds like it would be a draw on quiet Hampden Lane, which is scheduled to get a massive new neighbor up the block, the Bainbridge Wisconsin building. (Click photo above to enlarge for greater detail)
But the eventual tenant obviously is not required to open a brewpub. The space and bilevel design certainly would allow for more than the standard restaurant concept. Another great element is the fact that both levels have outdoor seating areas. Let's hope someone takes note of this spot for a potential restaurant, upscale Las Vegas-style nightclub or...brewpub.

ReplyDeleteFrom Anonymous 6:48 to Anonymous 10:31: I wouldn't want another college dive bar (Tommy Joes, Barking Dog), but I wouldn't mind an upscale club, lounge, or restaurant. As long as the drink prices are high enough to keep the kids away.
ReplyDeleteIs "HYPOTHETICAL BETHESDA BREWPUB" related to "Generic Republican Candidate"? You know, the one that everyone loves more than any of the actual candidates, but can't seem to win a single primary?
