A great place to drink in Rockville is Clyde's, with half price wine and seafood on Monday nights (off of Wootton Parkway). Other good places are Orange Billiards (Rockville Pike) and various new places only newly opened in Rockville Town Square. There is also Winston's with pool tables and lots of liquor, located on 1776 E Jefferson St. (301) 881-3000
Another great place to drink is Hank Dietle's Tavern, located on the right hand side after you pass White Flint Mall on Rockville Pike going south toward D.C . It is so old that its liquor license is numbered '1', as it was the first issued when the prohibition was repealed in the thirties. It serves cheap pitcher/mug brew and does not serve food other than potato chips. There are always interesting, friendly people to talk to and it is the last thing from a pretentious/ intimidating atmosphere. The real estate agents will say its located in 'North Bethesda' but that's baloney since its technically still Rockville.
There aren't any clubs in Rockville. You drive to the bar or restaurant, you enjoy yourself at exorbitant prices, you drive home. If you'd like to find some better nightspots look further down the Metro red line, such as the Dupont or Adams Morgan stations.
In Rockville town square there a many great restaurants and with the new kid fountain in the center of the town it is a great place to take the little one on a hot day. La Tasca is a spanish restaurant with little appetizer size dishes everyone loves. Austin grill is a tex-mex place with large servings and great atmosphere.
