Happenings

Your Elm apartment may be beautiful, but there’s no reason to stay cooped up at home on New Year’s Eve watching the ball drop at midnight from your couch – instead, go out on the town and celebrate the big day at one of the many bars in Bethesda!

On Dec. 31, put on your sparkles and 2023 glasses and grab a flute of champagne at one of these happening bars near your Elm apartment. There’s no better way to ring in the New Year than with friends and family, surrounded by music and laughter in our spirited city!

Hip Flask Rooftop Bar, located at 7707 Woodmont Ave, Bethesda which is an eight minute walk from your Elm apartment, is an elegant bar with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, making it one of the most scenic bars in the area. 

Whatever the hour, take the private elevator up to the penthouse and catch the view at Hip Flask Rooftop Bar. With retractable windows, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, innovative cocktails and unparalleled service, Hip Flask is your top rooftop destination on New Year’s Eve. 

Cooper’s Mill, located at 5151 Pooks Hill Rd, Bethesda which is seven minutes from your Elm apartment, is a rustic yet polished hotel setting for locally inspired American fare, craft brews and cocktails.

The name Cooper’s Mill was inspired by a flour mill that opened in Tarrytown in 1886 and for many years refined more than 300 barrels of flour a day. Cooper’s Mill in Bethesda captures the essence of Maryland while honoring the area’s hard-working farmers and craft distillers. Proudly presenting the flavors of the region, Executive Chef Chris Murry utilizes locally and regionally grown ingredients for an always fresh culinary approach.
