Tapp'd Bethesda, which has been in a soft-opening mode since Saturday afternoon, will officially open tomorrow, May 4, at 2:00 PM. The first 50 guests through the door will receive a ticket for a free draft beer of the 42 available. 100 bottled or canned beers are also sold at Tapp'd.
Samples of menu items will be available between 4:00 and 6:00 PM, and Tapp'd signature drafts will be $4 all day. Many of those beers are from the state of Maryland.
A pre-Civil War reclaimed wood bar top caps off decor designed to recall "the golden age of Bethesda and the nation," according to a press release. While dropping the DJ and dancing of predecessor Union Jack's, Tapp'd is keeping the state-of-the-art sound system and televisions for sporting events.
The target audience has shifted from college and recent graduates to "playful adults," with skee-ball, air hockey, foosball and pool providing entertainment. Late night happy hours will occur nightly, and live acoustic music will liven things up on weekends.
Tapp'd's logo incorporates the colors of the Maryland flag, and that is part of the establishment's branding. "We are excited to blend Maryland and Bethesda pride with great brews and food," general manager Robert Cousins said Monday. It will be one of the few nightspots to take advantage of the new 3:00 AM closing time in Montgomery County on Friday and Saturday nights; Tapp'd will close at 2:00 AM on all other nights of the week. 11:00 AM will be the opening time daily.

ReplyDeleteWow... are they glorifying the days of slavery?
Come on dude really?
Delete3am closing time? Nice, just like DC. Was this a result of Riemer's night-time economy task force?
ReplyDeleteGreat work by Hans and his nighttime task force, further reassuring the good citizens of Bethesda that they made the right choice in 2014.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly look forward to frequently this place.
Dyer has been building up the opening of this place as if it was Christmas. Good lord man- get a life!
ReplyDeleteIs this place run by a racist? Seems ridiculous to use something from the Civil War. Hans is is at it again!
ReplyDeleteAgain... Grow old and stop race baiting.
Delete@ 6:54 AM - "Builds it up like Christmas"... then sleeps through it. LOL
ReplyDeleteDyer you should spend your time protesting this racist joint rather than Westbard- Birdbrain
ReplyDeleteM O R I B U N D
ReplyDeleteRobert - could you talk to the availability of non-alcoholic beer flavored beverages they will have since you are obviously a sober-minded individual afraid of having fun! Birdbrain
ReplyDeleteTrollies are hoppin around like .... nervous things. Wonder what that's about.
ReplyDeleteDyer- quit sleeping! if you weren't so lazy you may be getting paid to write this biased BS!
ReplyDelete@7:23 Dyer- is that you?
ReplyDelete7:30 Nope.
ReplyDelete"Fakerooni"
ReplyDeleteNo, the phrase you want is "Ed Rooney".
736 I believe you about as much as I believe Dyer doesn't live in his mom's basement.
ReplyDeleteAndy Rooney?
ReplyDelete"Do I have opinions that might piss people off? Yes - that's what I'm here for."
758- Dyer's existence pisses people off
ReplyDelete8:12 as does yours
ReplyDelete8:23 Burn!!!
ReplyDeleteDyer finally reports this place is open 3 days after other news outlets.
ReplyDelete"3am closing time? Nice, just like DC. Was this a result of Riemer's night-time economy task force?"
ReplyDeleteYes, it was. Owners now have a number of expanded options when it comes to closing time, food/drink ratios, buying directly from in-state breweries, etc. There's still more work to be done, especially when it comes to the DLC, but the county's undeniably been heading in the right direction.
@9:25 3 days late is record timing for Dyer
ReplyDeleteStill waiting on the article after Lord & Taylor was awarded $31M in their case against Lerner...
ReplyDeleteKudos to Hans Riemer for continuing to prop up the county's nighttime economy!
ReplyDeleteAnd kudos to Mr. Dyer for keeping us well informed on the success of the initiative!
There hasn't been this much troll activity here since the days preceding the crash and burn of the BethesdaNOW blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the "lone troll" talking point?
ReplyDeleteThey realized it didn't make sense because they were saying there was one "lone troll" and insisting it was AK or SH or MoCo operatives or Equity One PR or council member PR, etc.
Delete11:33 - Dyer is sleeping!
ReplyDelete@12:18 no he isnt sleeping- he is working his shift at Citgo
ReplyDelete@12:28 PM = Andrew Metcalf. He's a sneaky one.
ReplyDeleteALL HAIL HANS RIEMER ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
ReplyDeleteCome on dude, you know it's "the lone troll" He's getting paid handsomely by the competitor site and the MoCo Machine and their developer friends
ReplyDeleteDon't forget he's also AK and SH
