A for-lease listing online confirms that the closure of the Starbucks in the Hyatt Regency Bethesda hotel at 1 Bethesda Metro Center was a Starbucks corporate decision, not a Hyatt decision. That's because the listing is marketing the former Starbucks space as ideal for a coffee shop tenant. It certainly would be a score for a coffee operation to take advantage of Starbucks' expensive and high-quality interior fit-out at no cost - or minimal modification, if the brand-name is big enough. I'd like to suggest a few up-and-coming chains, but most of the fastest-growing companies are focused on drive-thru sales, which aren't possible at this location.

As a commuter on the Ride On 47 bus, it was ideal to have a Starbucks at this location. I could order ahead and it would be ready by the time I got to the Bethesda Metro station.
Chinese take out
As a commuter on the Ride On 47 bus, it was very convenient to be able to order ahead on the Starbucks app and have the coffee ready to pick up at the Hyatt Starbucks when we arrived at the Bethesda station
It was the best Starbucks in Bethesda. The location was ideal and the couches and chair were actually comfortable. I really miss it.
Irish Pub hopefully
