We celebrated my birthday there last night and the space, the staff, and the food and drinks were all top notch! Laura, our server was so attentive and everyone there was so well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to have another get together there, they were so easy to coordinate with.
I’m sure this will be denied like all other negative reviews they’ve gotten.. my friend and I came for drinks and I opened a bar tab. We went outside to sit and chat and came back inside to get another drink. At that point there was a new bartender and he quickly refused service, didn’t even entertain what we were saying and barely made eye contact. We were told to “order outside” and “ask your waiter”.. the person who approached the bar right beside us wasn’t dismissed. My friend and I are black, and the other person was not. I left to the restroom and came back out to ask my friend if the bartender seemed extremely rude and dismissive to us for no reason and she agreed that he was. I was completely turned off by the exchange and his lack of service and care so I went back to the bar and asked to close my tab to which he also refused. “I’m not your bartender” “i can’t help you” and so many other statements with a smug look, denying service for no good reason when the bar was dead and no one else was waiting. The bartender spoke in such a stale tone, and his whole demeanor couldn’t have stated any louder that it was clearly a race issue. The three people seated at the bar, kept staring at him, wondering why he was refusing to close my tab and give me my card back. I never yelled nor argued I simply asked why I couldn’t be serviced and he still never approached my side of the bar and refused from a distance. He kept pointing and telling me to go outside and ask a server yet my tab was at the bar. No one else in the place had an issue aside from my friend and I. The bartender spoke to us like we were so insignificant and a waste of his effort to make a drink or close a tab. that coupled with his body language, tone, and attitude made it clear that he had no desire to service us, and the previous bartender tried to make up for it, quickly trying to get us taken care of because she could see what was happening. Supposedly Belmont is minority owned, but their employee has such a low regard for minorities it’s kind of hard to believe. If you are black, then you know exactly when you’re being discriminated against and why. There are subtle tones, shifts in energy and body language, etc. This bartender was approached by my coworker about the situation and his first claim was that I was disrespectful and had an attitude with him.
Of course, he equated me to the stereotypical black female, which is the whole reason why I didn’t react to his disrespect in the first place. It’s been a long time since something like this has happened to me and it’s sad to know that this is what our world still is. Deny it all you want Belmont. Your bartender is racist.

This place has been a go-to for my coworkers and me because it’s near our workplace. But it’s never had great drinks, service nor any atmosphere! Then today, we had a racist incident with two of my coworkers from a manager and a service member. One of us got involved (someone who was white) and they basically tried to tell off that person too but in this case at that showed they truly don’t care about people—soooo messed up. Don’t go here!!!

The outdoor patio area was nice, although it’s on a busy street. The waitress was attentive, even though I was on my own. The had a couple of small appetizers since I was on my own. Really good fries! I had a tasty drink. I found the prices reasonable.

I will never return to this place or recommend it to anyone.
We ordered chicken wings, which were clearly listed as 8 pieces, but only received 7. It’s not just about being shorted one wing—it’s about honesty and integrity. It felt like a deliberate trick, and it makes me wonder what else this establishment is cutting corners on.
To make things worse, the server never once came to check on us or ask if we wanted to order anything else. The lack of service and trust here is unacceptable.

This is a truly great venue. Great food, great vibes, great live shows.
Ew the food here is seriously terrible. Our entire party was laughing at how bad it was. Server was also so rude
My neighborhood bar and it’s a West Hollywood staple! Great food, drinks and vibe.
A strange security guard asked twice for an ID and the bartender does not have the required amount of ingredients for cocktails, very unfriendly treatment. I did not like it. Sidelong glances, this creates discomfort
