After almost ten years in business, Bethesda sports bar Uncle Jed’s Roadhouse has closed, falling short of a goal they had on their menus and Web site:

Uncle Jed’s plans on becoming Bethesda’s oldest neighborhood bar so please visit us regularly and plan on attending our 50th Anniversary Party on Saturday, May 5, 2046.

Last season, Fritz hosted viewing parties there for our Penn State alumni chapter there, so we got to know it pretty well. They had excellent wings and reasonable prices, along with good service. It was not as packed as other viewing sites, so we could really focus on the game. Perhaps that was the problem for them.

Just the other day, when I was updating the Photos section, I posted a pic of Sam, me, Fritz and his dad celebrating at Uncle Jed’s following the Lions victory at Northwestern. Penn State never lost a game we watched there.
