The 7,692 square-foot venue features a dog-friendly exterior patio for al fresco dining and a signature Crush Bar featuring a large selection of specialty crush drinks.

Sports & Social will feature a variety of live music, entertainment and special events including its premier game-day Sports Watch activations and a can’t-miss brunch experience on Saturdays and Sundays. Brunch will showcase its infamous #brunchtails table drinks and menu favorites such as avocado toast, savory breakfast skillets, and signature Chicken & Bliss.

The venue will offer one of the best sports watching experiences in the region with state-of-the-art AV technology throughout the venue, including an impressive 18-foot LED display where guests can watch multiple games and sporting events at once. Guests can also enjoy a wide variety of social games in the space including a golf simulator, ski ball, shuffleboard and Beirut.

“Sports & Social is a one-of-a-kind dining venue and social experience that is unmatched anywhere in the country,” said Andrew Izrael, General Manager of Sports & Social Bethesda. “It’s the perfect combination of incredible food, great entertainment and state-of-the-art sports viewing all in an upscale setting. We can’t wait to open at Pike & Rose on September 9th.”

The new location is proud to bring more than 80 jobs to Montgomery County with open roles including servers, barbacks, bartenders and back of house positions. Interested applicants can apply in person at the Sports & Social Hiring Center located at 11568 Old Georgetown Road at Pike & Rose Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or online here.
