State-of-the-art beer service & American pub eats in steam-punk spaces
"The six-year-old pub Owen’s Ordinary will keep its bar side and front patio but be renamed Owen’s Tavern and Garden as the back two-thirds of the space flip into Caruso’s 90-seat dining room; the tavern side will continue to share a kitchen with Caruso’s. Adler will contribute comfort-food offerings to the revised tavern menu, including thick-cut French bread 'pizza' topped with roasted wild mushrooms, truffle and parmesan or thick-cut pepperoni with spicy honey and basil, plus Calabrian chili and honey-glazed chicken wings and a hefty pub-style burger. NRG’s Greg Engert will continue offering 50 beers on tap, and Nick Farrell will add more frozen cocktails for summer and spiked hot options for the heated garden in winter." - Tierney Plumb
"At Owen’s Ordinary in North Bethesda I reported that Jonathan Collins took over as executive chef and rolled out a winter menu featuring a suckling pig garnished with pomegranate and za’atar, seared Virginia scallops with Brussels sprouts and bacon lardons, and a rotating burger of the week." - Eater Staff
"I grab $4 cans of DC Brau Pils during games at this Bethesda sister spot to Bluejacket." - Tierney Plumb
"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
"Owen's Ordinary is likewise highlighted as an NRG venue where beer-and-food pairings play a major role, illustrating the group's broader approach that will carry into the Roost." - Gabe Hiatt
