World of Beer sets opening date in Bethesda (Photos)

World of Beer on Bethesda Avenue will open on Monday, April 3, at 11:30 AM. Located in Artery Plaza, the restaurant and bar will have outdoor patio seating along Bethesda Avenue, despite its 7200 Wisconsin Avenue address. Here is a sneak peek inside, and you can see there will be many flat screens around the interior. World of Beer promises 500 beers on tap and in bottles and cans, always a challenge under the Montgomery County government liquor monopoly, which was left in place after County Councilmember Hans Riemer's failed "nighttime economy" initiative crashed.
