BT’s Bethesda, a new restaurant and bar owned and operated by Brian “BT” Lacey, is preparing to open its doors in mid-November at 4866 Cordell Avenue. The restaurant will be located in the space previously occupied by Zuma by Chef Ninja.
Lacey, a Bethesda native and Walt Whitman High School graduate, has deep roots in the local restaurant scene, having spent his career bartending and managing well-known establishments in the DC area like Durty Nelly’s, J Paul’s, DC Coast, and Old Ebbitt Grill, among others.
According to BT’s, the new venue aims to be a welcoming spot for families and friends to enjoy a great meal, featuring a menu filled with burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and entrees, as well as weekend brunch service.
The restaurant will include a bar area with TVs and the restaurant’s front room will include garage-style doors that open to the outside.
