It's NOT going to take you 20 minutes. It will be more like 30 - 35 minutes if you don't make any mistakes and if the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise. (Which is always a gamble in the People's Republic of DC in which the Government --- including the WMATA --- is actually a Jobs Program and not really there to do anything)

Let's take time to the Metro station out of the equation. Not matter where he goes he'll have some travel time to it.

But there are flaws in the 20 minute plan above. It is a 15 minute train ride.  But it assumes he has no wait time for the Red Line Metro in Bethesda. This will be more of a problem on the way back as trains are less frequent late at night. And you always have the possibility of Metro problems (Trains that stop mysteriously, escalators that quit working, etc). A rarity ... but a real PIA for out-of-towners.

Then you have to get from the Metro up to 19th Street up the escalator and that's a couple of minutes.
Its a five minute walk to M Street if you know which way you are going. It's 30 minutes best case.

If I am in Bethesda, I'd as soon walk to someplace locally and walk back to my hotel. And find a place for dinner in Bethesda. The Sign of the Whale isn't that great a place to watch a game. All it has going for it is more SU fans.

Bill Orange's directions are correct. But do yourself a favor and assume 30 to 40 minutes for the trip.
