BabyCat Brewery soft opening draws a crowd in Bethesda


BabyCat Brewery
has soft-opened its new Bethesda taproom at 4850 Rugby Avenue, in the ground floor of the Gallery Bethesda II apartment tower. There was a good-size crowd on hand indoors, and out. Such activity on the plaza between the Gallery towers has been a long time coming, and let's hope it continues. The official hours of the new Bethesda taproom still show it as "closed" every day, so I recommend calling ahead unless you are already in the neighborhood, at 301-686-8211. An official grand opening is scheduled for October 31.

The only place in Bethesda to draw one. Hope they do well. I need a report on their food. And do they make their own craft root beer?

In case anyone is wondering if they will have live entertainment, I was told that because they are on the ground floor of an apartment building, they won't have live music (which would bother the residents above them)

And when the patrons are enjoying themselves on their outdoor space, they'll call the police non -emergency line asking the police to tell them to quiet down. And you can forget a DJ.
