Relic is brought to you by the same owner of

Bodega - Spanish Tapas, News Cafe - Cucina Italiana and his partner. Both restaurants are very popular Georgetown destinations. We wanted to bring a little bit of DC with us to Bethesda by combining a tapas restaurant and an edgy lounge in one concept.
Good start for a good place!!!! Owners are kind and humble and staff is eager and pleasing.....

“Relic Restaurant and Lounge opened about 3 weeks ago on Fairmont Avenue, next to Positanos and it`s only getting better every time I go! The decor is very unique...

USA Chanel 9 Review:
"...It is not Vegas, it is Bethesda, if you can believe it..."

On Tap Magazine:
"...it feels like a swanky, chic, D.C. lounge; certainly not like any existing restaurant, bar or club in Bethesda..."

Yelp Reviews:
"This is exactly what Bethesda needs... 4936 finally has a keeper! Chef Patrick gets it done..."

Design with Spine:
"...I am pretty sure whoever is responsible for this bar snuck into my head one night and stole my thoughts. It is some weird combination..."
