American Tap Room closes in Bethesda, to be replaced by Matchbox

American Tap Room closes in Bethesda. Yes, American Tap Room is closed in Bethesda. On New Year's Eve.

The story was broken by Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row. Robert Dyer reports that Matchbox may replace American Tap Room Bethesda. Matchbox is a pizza restaurant.

Dyer reports that this is the 16th nightspot in downtown Bethesda to close after the self proclaimed "nighttime economy" initiative of Montgomery County Councilmember Hans Riemer.
