"2025 best of bethesda" in a colorful font, "best of bethesda" on a gold seal

Do you have a favorite hair salon, pizza place, doctor or home remodeler? You can cast your votes for them in Bethesda Magazine’s 17th annual Best of Bethesda Readers’ Poll, which spans all of Montgomery County and Upper Northwest D.C.

This year we are introducing a new voting platform with an extended list of categories. The Readers’ Poll will include two rounds: nomination and elimination. From July 1-31, readers will write in their nominations for their favorites in each category. When the nomination round concludes, those with the highest number of nominations will move on to the elimination round (Sept. 1-30) in which readers will cast their votes to determine the winner in each category.

The eight category groupings range from food and drink to fitness and beauty; health and wellness to things to do. Plus, there are opportunities to share recommendations such as the best place for pet boarding and where to catch live music.

All winners will be announced in Bethesda Magazine’s January/February 2025 Best of Bethesda issue, on newsstands at the end of December.
