Bethesda Rookie: Parker's American Bistro

B.R. info

Here you'll find my take on everything from where to get the best martini to where to sweat it out. Begun in October 2005, this site is a catalog of my discoveries in the area and a plea for help. I'm more than open to suggestions. Leave them here, or please feel free to send me email.

Parker's American Bistro

Parker's is what it is. Big. Mercifully not too loud. Cheap drinks at Happy Hour (a full four hours from 3:00 to 7:00). Bar food. TVs. Unapologetic. After all, it has nothing to be sorry for.

Parker's Chesapeake Wings are meaty and dripping with sauce. The Chicken Quesadilla is short on queso but packed full of chicken and beans. And all the burgers being carried around the room looked more satisfying than the sum of their parts.

Not to be overlooked is the outdoor seating (for warmer months) and the validated parking down the block (look for the train mural). You get one hour free, and it's pretty cheap after that.

Parker's American Bistro, 4824 Bethesda Avenue, Bethesda, 301.654.6366
