Mussel Bar closes at Bethesda Row, owner plans to reopen in new location (Photos)


Mussel Bar
has permanently closed at 7262 Woodmont Avenue at Bethesda Row. The owner says the Belgian restaurant will reopen at a new location "in the near future." Foxtrot, a market and cafe, will take over the space in late 2022. Mussel Bar owner RW Restaurant Group has also stated it is searching for a new location for its Wildwood Kitchen, which closed last year at the Wildwood Shopping Center.

    This guy has the cooking bonafides but things aren't going too well. No wonder with the endless lockdowns and all. One of the hardest hit industries. Way to go Brownie!

    You should mention that both Bethesda Row and Wildwood Center are owned by Federal Realty.

    How did they break the news to the Bethesda staff?

    If the Bathsheba property owner walked into that restaurant, at any time, what would they see?

    I'll tell you:

    At opening, the daily routine of wiping bird-shit off of the patio tables. The cracked-out bartender would roll in late, hung over ... if you're lucky. These crack-tenders would show up hours late, when they did.

    At lunch, a pop. Is the manager awake, high, present, asleep ... whatever, they're probably hiding in the office.

    At night the staff is largely composed of naval-gazing Prima donnas.

    Brian, Rob, and Tom need to retire ... ten years ago.
