"Raise a mug of lager to the sway of oompah music at Owen’s Ordinary on Sunday, September 29. The tavern at the Pike and Rose complex in North Bethesda will have 12 fall brews on tap — from local and international pureryos — and Bavarian fare from the kitchen. Hours are 12 p.m. to 5 p.m." - Travis Mitchell

Awesome beer selection, they have options for all beer lovers. The bar staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is relaxed, with good fun vibes. If I didn’t have an early flight, I would have stayed longer.

Excellent spot for tavern food! We are a couple from NY and this is a GREAT spot to stop. We sat in their Biergarten / Patio area on a beautiful fall evening and enjoyed delicious beers. For food we ordered the burger and pesto chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and service was top notch.

Had dinner here tonight. Waited over 30 minutes for someone to take our drink order, decided to order apps and food right away. Seemed like they were too busy to take care of larger tables than tables with only 2 people. Made excuses for why they took so long (meanwhile we saw other tables being taken care of) then after we were finished took forever to get our bill. Went to front desk and were told to go to the bar. No one really seemed to care we were not being taken care of. Food was great but service needs a lot of work! Still tipped a decent tip Because I know servers do not get paid a decent wage. I usually don’t write comments but after I looked at reviews I realized I’m not the first person to comment on service. Wanted to complain while in the restaurant….but who would I even complain to???? I work in service industry and this was not the best….but good and drinks were very good!

Stopped by at this place for a beer. It has an impressive variety of beer. We ordered beer and potato chips with parmesan and pesto. We waited for the beer to arrive long enough to get a little irritated by that. When the beer was brought, my beer was close to room temperature. I added ice from my water glass to it to cool it down. Chips were brought when we were almost done with a beer. So we ordered another glass of beer, and I mentioned that the previous glass of beer was too warm and asked to bring a cold beer. Again, waiting, and again, barely cold beer. Also, to mention, we never got any napkins and utensils. When mentioned, got an apology and a response that it will be brought right away. Nope.. We were waiting until my husband was ready to get it himself, and then the waitress appeared with it. And no, the restaurant wasn't full and busy when you could expect delays in service. One star for service. This place has a potential because of the beer variety and seems like good food (chips were amazing), but service is just bad.

(2019) Came here for a Monday happy hour with a pretty large group! Was able to reserve the outdoor patio ahead of time which was great since the patio is dog- friendly and we wanted to bring our dog! Drinks were good, I didn't have a lot of food but there were no complaints though I didn't have anything rave-worthy (just a few apps) - my only "complaint" is that the server didn't seem particularly interested in coming to take drink orders when it was time for another drink or when someone new showed up - I always had to sort of make it happen. But Monday night happy hour lasts all night which is awesome! EDIT: Came here again about 2 weeks later. Service was great! I kept picking a beer that they had run out of, after this happened a couple of times the server brought me a few tastings of similar beers to help me pick something else, very thoughtful! You can order half size beers as well if you want to make your own flight, which is cool. Tried two flat breads: the sausage & pepper and the mushroom & kale - both were really good! Trivia was going on in the adjacent room - I appreciated that if you weren't participating in trivia then you didn't have to hear it. I will probably change my review to 5 stars depending on subsequent visits! 2025 - it's different now that it's Caruso's too, I miss some things from the old menu but I enjoy the Caruso pastas

Stop in for drinks and maybe a bite. The focus seems to be more on the bar than the food. But they will charge you a kitchen recognition charge... Staff is friendly. But the location is dark and really loud. My drink was pretty good. Would recommend coming in for drinks. The apps were OK. The calamari was the favorite of the choices we got. Wings were solid. Chick parm was not a hit. Ended up bringing it home. Kid ends up throwing it out. Trout was pretty good. I think the focus here is the bar.

We had tickets for the 2024 New Year's Eve event ($100 per person for open bar and food) and it was great! Jenny, especially, was a fantastic server and did everything she could to keep the party atmosphere going and make sure everyone was having a good time. There were a few hiccups at the start (overcrowding as regular diners filtered out, the first batch of buffet food being taken really quickly, etc.), but once everything was up and running in full swing, it was a great party!

Came here with some coworkers. They have a happy hour menu. If you're into beer, this is ur place, they have a wide variety. The service was great. We ate in the bar area. The wings were ok. I would have liked them to be more crispy and have more old bay seasoning, but that's my preference. The parm sliders were really good.
