Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

This is a decent restaurant, with a small brewery inside of it. It’s located in the Pruneyard area of Cambell, which is a really beautiful area. The restaurant has a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating and specializes mainly in American dishes and beers. I would say come here if you’re hungry, this isn’t your traditional brewery, experience and more like a restaurant. The beer here was actually really good. The food they have a lot of options as well. I was happy enough with the beer and the orders that we made. The service was a little bit slow considering that there wasn’t a lot of people at 1 o’clock on a Saturday but it wasn’t a huge tissue. This place would be perfect on a warm day, because you can sit outside and drink beer and watch locals as you relax and enjoy the warm warmth. Even on a cold day, they have outdoor heaters, which is nice.

We went late in the evening in search of food and lucky enough as they serve food till late. Spacious sport bar with variety of beers on tap. The service was quick for us, maybe due to less crowded at that time. The food was above average. The habanero grilled chicken was amazing. Love the vibe and place.

UPDATE: Came back after a year. Tried their bbq chicken and ribs and they were both really good. The dish includes fries and coleslaw, I'd keep the fries and swap the coleslaw for another side. Im generally a fan of coleslaw but this one was not good. The dish is quite big, we shared that and a side of brussel sprouts between two people. Service was great, we'll come back for sure --------- I had high hopes but honestly it wasn't the best experience. We visited with our dog because they have a very large outdoor patio. The server was nice and took our order quite quickly. We had two different kinds of beer, the Kolsch and the Pale Ale. They were both great for $3 each. I was disappointed by the actual food. I ordered the Fancy Farmer Bowl only to discover that while it does look healthy and colorful, the ingredients don't really go well together. Also, the dressing was too acidic for my taste and didn't improve the dish. That being said, both the side of fries and the brussel sprouts were AMAZING! Oh! And if you're sitting outside (we sat near the wall, not the road) wear long pants. I was really put off due to the amount of flies that kept touching my legs. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Did not honor the free pint of beer with any steak entree special that's shown on display cards at tables all over the restaurant. Also, somehow I got upcharged for a salad that I didn't even ask for. Great food but disappointed with the bait and switch and sketchy service. Overpaid by $18+ for no reason. Won't be returning here ever.

Really great food & drinks. Decently priced too. The atmosphere was really nice & quiet, the lights & heaters outside made it perfect to enjoy our meal with fresh air without freezing. The service was great. I had the fish & chips & my boyfriend had the brisket sandwich. We also ordered the deviled eggs & some beer & cocktails. The carrot cake was my favorite part, it was also huge! All delicious! Will be coming back soon!

Solid 3 stars for food, drinks, and ambiance. Under staffed when we arrived for dinner around 5:30 PM, so waited longer than normal for drink and food orders; wanted to watch the baseball playoff game, but staff was very difficult in making that happen. Overall, not impressed with Rock Bottom experience and will choose other options next time in Bethesda.

Came here with a large student tour group as part of our travel package. We were given a limited menu (3 entree options) but it still seemed difficult for the staff to organize who ordered what. I ordered the chicken fried chicken - it was seasoned well but the chicken portion was very small and the mashed potatoes were cold. Others in our group had a similar experience. Your experience may be different with a smaller group.

Meh.. Definitely not the best in an area with a lot of great restaurants and bars. It took a while to get drinks. Men’s restroom was flooded upstairs. We ordered fries for the table and they came out soggy in oil. Place had an overall grimy feeling.

My eight year old son and I stopped in for dinner. The ambience was nice and festive. The waitress was friendly and on point. However, the steak meal from the children’s menu (medium well) was awful. It tasted bad flavor wise and may have very well been bad meat. We had to send it back. The waffle fries were hard as rocks, and the burger not so great. My son tried the green sliced apples on the plate. They tasted like they had been marinated in mint. I am still not sure if they were supposed to taste like that. And the uncooked carrots on the plate were browning and dried out. I don’t think I have ever eaten out and decided to not ever go back.

The food was just OK for the price, and the drinks were not that good. Service was a solid C. Too many other options out there to have to eat here again.
