We discovered this location after seeing a movie. A good place to end the evening after a movie or dinner. It is a nice place to relax, chat and have a drink. The lounge is lovely and spacious with amazing beverages and good service, and splendid music. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Terrible service, the place was empty and I came early and they denied me for having Sandals and we had a party of 15 people. What a lost of business from the short woman manager and Mexican security guard. We come here all the times and now never again coming here and don't recommend it

Came here on a Thursday night for drinks . It was relatively slow. I saw some reviews that said the service was subpar, but that wasn’t the case for us. The service was fine. The lounge itself is very nice, very upscale. The drinks were really good. The mojito was phenomenal and super refreshing. The cosmo was really good as well. They also offer hookah but we skipped on that this time. I’d definitely come back. It’s a good spot to just chill, drink, and talk. The music is good too. Overall good experience.

I recently visited Bella Lounge, and unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Rather than a warm greeting, I was immediately questioned about a jar of honey I had brought from the Greek Festival. The staff seemed more concerned about my personal item than making me feel welcome, which set a disappointing tone for the evening.
Good service is the heart of any hospitality business, and this experience made it clear that customer care wasn't a priority here. If you're looking for a place with an inviting atmosphere and attentive staff, Bella Lounge might not be the best choice.

After going to a movie around the corner, we found this spot on the DT Downey strip. Very interesting drink mixes and delicious crudo. Live DJ as well. Nice spot for a night cap After dinner/movie

We went here during Downey Pride and my friends and I had an amazing time. We just had a couple drinks, I forgot what mine was called, it was a blue margarita and my friends got the rainbow shots. They both we're so good. The server were nice and the place was so cute. I realled liked the twinkle lights they had in front of the bathroom, my friends and I took turns taking pictures in the mirror. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I'd love to come back again to try the food and do the hookah.

Drinks were delicious! Bella charcuterie board was also very delicious! The service was excellent! But it is a family run establishment so there were times when the family would come around and start talking in a manner that me and my friend could hear everything. So we didn’t really have a lot of private conversations, because the family kept coming around and having conversations of their own with each other. I will probably never come back, due to this fact. when I’m out eating with my friends, especially in an establishment like this. I don’t want to know the family drama that the owners are having.

We were looking for a place to grab drinks and decided to give this place a try. The guy at the door stopped us and wouldn’t let us enter due to a strict dress code. We understood and decided to make our way elsewhere, but then they came over and let us know if one of our party members just changed his shoes they could make an exception. The person left to grab shoes and they sat our party down, but quickly came up to us and said they would feel more comfortable sitting our party in a booth towards the back. We moved, without thinking much of it. When we asked for water they said do you want us to bring a bottle for the table to share. We said sure. They brought a Voss water, which they later tried to charge us for. Then when we let them know we were interested in trying hookah they responded with, oh that would have to be outside, which meant the patio. They then had to move us again. At this point the total bill was a little over $300 between all six of us, and all of a sudden the service was turned up a notch with the manager coming over to check on us every 10 minutes or so. Part of our party left and paid their part of the bill. Later we requested the remaining bill and they tried to charge us for their part and ours combined. We pointed this out and the waitress was a little confused and somewhat confrontational in her tone, but ultimately removed the items from the bill. All in all the atmosphere was cute and yes the prices were kinda high, but it was the service and feeling like they prejudged our party based off of appearances that is the reason our entire party would not be returning to this establishment or Mosaik across the way which they apparently also own.
Bella Lounge is a gem in Downey that effortlessly combines class, warmth, and culinary excellence. The bar & drink menu is a masterpiece, both delicious to the palate and visually stunning. Their food offerings are equally impressive. Whether you’re looking for a night out with friends or a cozy date spot, Bella Lounge is sure to impress. It’s no wonder why we keep coming back for more!

We went for a quick drink, but it didn't end up being quick...bartenders took too long to make drinks..and they weren't the fancy kind ;). The decor is lovely and our server was attentive. Having one guy as security and the other seating you is overkill...the place is really small.

Bartenders were splendid but had an encounter with security while entering I tried shoving him my ID to get in and have some drinks and he looked at me pretended to look at my ID and said I’m just trying to let the people behind you in … these same people we’re the ones being rowdy and loud. And we got in line before them so how would he want them to get in before us ? If we are paying customers ? Unacceptable not recommending this place
