Happy hour in Bethesda, MD

Bethesda's list is weekday-heavy. Only a few venues run anything on Saturday or Sunday, and most windows fall somewhere between 3pm and 7pm. Caddies on Cordell Avenue is the outlier, running 3pm to 10pm Monday through Wednesday and 3pm to 8pm on Thursday and Friday, with $7 margaritas and $6.50 rail drinks.

Woodmont Triangle is the busiest neighborhood, and Cordell Avenue alone holds several of its venues, Barrel & Crow and BT's Bethesda among them. Woodmont Avenue has its own run, from Mon Ami Gabi, with $5 beers and $8 wines on weekdays from 4pm to 6pm, to Pisco y Nazca, which keeps a 4pm to 7pm window every day.

Fialova on Wisconsin Avenue also runs daily, 5pm to 7pm, and takes 25% off appetizers.
