Superhero to Visit Downtown Bethesda Bars Friday Night

If you see a caped crusader at the bar Friday night, it’s not necessarily a sign you’ve overindulged.

SoberWoman will visit five bars in downtown Bethesda between 6 and 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 12. Along the way, she will quiz bar patrons about their plans on getting home safely after drinking and give prizes to people who have plans in place, such as designating a sober driver or taking transit or a cab.

The Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign is deploying the new superhero to help Montgomery County Police with drunk driving awareness.

Officers with the Montgomery County Police Department are increasing their enforcement efforts during the holidays to keep drunk drivers off the road.

SoberWoman and police will stop by these bars tonight:

• Caddies on Cordell, 4922 Cordell Ave.
• Union Jacks, 4915 St Elmo Ave.
• Rock Bottom, 7900 Norfolk Ave.
• Brickside Food & Drink, 4866 Cordell Ave.
• Flanagan’s Harp & Fiddle, 4844 Cordell Ave.
