As we reported last week, Buca di Beppo at 112 Kentlands Blvd in Gaithersburg will be closing permanently today (Sunday, June 23). The restaurant has also either recently closed or announced upcoming closures at multiple locations across the country, including in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Hawaii.
The Washington Post has released its list of ‘12 Best Dive Bars’ in the DC area and two Maryland bars, both located in Montgomery County, have made the list. The Post defines a dive bar as having “dim lights, cheap drinks, friendly (if occasionally grouchy) staff, good music.” While there are many great places that fit this mold and didn’t make the list, here are the two that did:
MOD Pizza, a fast-casual pizza restaurant with over 500 locations nationwide, has closed its location at 12027 Rockville Pike (Montrose Crossing). The closure comes approximately three months after the Kentlands location closed.
Permanent signage is up at Taco De Birria by Rice Bar at 14 Bureau Dr in the Diamond Square shopping center in Gaithersburg. The restaurant will be located in the space previously occupied by Rooh Bistro, which opened and closed in 2020.
Kapow Buddy, a Thai restaurant offering “Bowl Style” Thai cuisine, is coming soon to Montgomery Mall. The restaurant will be taking over the space that was recently home to Butter Me Up at the Old Navy Wing on the lower level of the mall.
