 what other places in bethesda are worth checking out anyway?
NONE!
 
 
 Willy and Reeds.....a gazillion tellies so you know the conversation will be riveting in that place.
 
 Rock Bottom......micro-brewery that has live music...bit of a meat market for the singles scene.
 
 Flannigans....nasty bar in a basement, the whole place stinks like the toilets in the old Capital Centre. Usually has the, (ahem), "Irish music", with the green alligator, black & tans, and all that 4P's shite music.
 
 Chrome...I thought it was okay but doesn't seem to do well, probably because it's hidden away in a corner.
 
 
 Yacht Club.....grab a granny, literally. I'm 43 and would look way too young to be in there, and I'm NOT joking.

I've been to RI-Ra in Rhode Island, and I always thought the name had something to do with the State. Who knew. It always seemed ok, but much more of a yuppie 20-ish bar hangout than an authentic Irish pub.

Mankies right - Flanagans is an awful, horrible, depressing place - I went there a few years ago to watch the All-Ireland and swore I'd never go back
 
 Ri-ra is an irish word that loosely translates as crack
