Tip: check your receipt for hidden fees. I was charged an additional fee to add Tito's to my espresso martini, even though I didn't request it

I’ve always liked this space through the years, though I do miss when it was coops. Trendier now, and prices reflect it. A shame HH only honored at the bar. Mocktails costing more than cocktails during HH was also disappointing. Service was particularly slow last visit. Overall still a recommended place to check out.

I came here for a friend’s birthday dinner and we had reserved a table for 5pm. 2/7 of our guests were running late and the waitress Ferrera made sure to tell us that there were other reservations, implying that we were on a time limit before even ordering food or drinks. When taking our orders, she wrote nothing down so of course some of our orders came out incomplete. Her service was so poor, another waitress came to take our drink orders and check in on how we were doing. To end it all, we felt that she did not deserve a fair tip considering how she treated us vs the tables around us, so after we left she proceeded to call us and ask our reasoning why. Very unprofessional. Food & drinks were great, but service was poor.

I was super excited to hit Belo bar for some oysters and dinner on 2/20/25. My friend and I were happy to catch up at the bar. We asked to order some food, we asked about the sliders and we were informed they could only be made well done so we decided against those. I ordered a dozen oysters and some mashed potatoes. My friend got the wings. The wings were okay very soggy and fatty, tasting like old oil. We didn’t say anything we were happy to just enjoy each other’s company. The mashed potatoes came out and were extremely cold once again we just chalked it up as a loss and continued chatting. I ate two oysters nothing special but I was happy with that. On the third oyster out of six, as I was chewing I felt something pop and crunch in my mouth. Then it felt like plastic, I pulled out what I hope was a dead crab out of my mouth. I was so repulsed and tried my hardest not to vomit on the bar as I saw the legs and body of a dead crab is what I’m telling myself because I don’t think I can’t recover from whatever else it may be. I let the bartender know discreetly to which he took the remaining 3 away immediately and told his manager. They discussed it for about five mins and then then returned to say “yea my manager said he’s not going to take them off the bill.” I didn’t ask for them to be removed but working in the service industry for over 20 years I would NEVER charge someone who had anything in their mouth that they did not order. Still I did not complain I said okay I just wanted to enjoy my time with my friend. About another five mins later they were discussing again for some reason and the bartender came up to us and said the manager is willing to replace them, I told him no thank you I don’t want any more oysters tonight after that. Not even five mins later another man approached us and plopped down a tray of three oysters saying “these are complimentary”. At this point I almost throw up as I’ve said several times don’t want oysters after that. What is even more offensive then bringing the same three oysters I didn’t eat from the original six is that I already paid for them. In no way were they complimentary ! Those were from my tray, just brought out again on a smaller tray. At this point I was so repulsed and disgusted about the entire situation. During the whole situation not one person apologized, instead the manager talked about me and the situation at the bar several times without approaching me once. Also discussing it to someone else outside the bathroom door while my friend was in the bathroom saying “yea I’m not taking those off!”. No one asked him to take them off even though that is the right thing to do, but to be forced to look at them over again after that experience was horrid. Do better. $76.77 for an awful experience was not on my agenda for a Thursday night dinner. We left disappointed, needless to say I was ill when I got home.

Super disappointed with this bar, absolutely no regard for people's time or money. I have never been treated worse by a business and cannot believe that no retribution was offered for services that were so clearly mismanaged. Will never give my money to these crooks again.

Super cute cocktail spot. Pretty small but again, great cocktails

This place looked promising online, but the service was disappointing. Despite only 2 other guests in the restaurant , my friend and I were ignored. Our old-fashioned took 20 minutes because the bartender was chatting, and we weren’t asked about food until 30 minutes later—by then, we had decided to eat elsewhere. It took another 10 minutes just to get the check. No idea why the service was so slow with so few customers.

Manager very rude.

I came in with a couple of girlfriends for cocktails and OMG what a cool experience. So kind and patient, sharing amazing recommendations. Every drink was delicious. I ordered a cocktail that had coconut foam and I’ll be dreaming about it later. Thanks Leanna for the best experience!

Everything was top notch. The pernil was amazing. Amazing ownership that takes pride in their business. Don’t miss cheese bread!! Will be back!!
I was looking for a restaurant to take my wife on a date, and I come across Belo Bar on google .Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food! Super fun and unique mock-tails. Our server she was very sweet and helpful. We recommend the fresh mozzarella sticks and grilled octopus on appetizers and for main dishes oh my God Chicken Portabella, and Penne arrabbiatta were both delicious ? Will definitely come back

This place is like a cozy pub, not too crowded on weekdays. They have cocktails, but they're just okay. What's really good though, are the foods!We tried their salad, buffalo chicken wings, burrata with prosciutto, and truffle fries. The wings and fries were the best, super tasty!The staff there are really friendly and nice. Plus, it's super close to the Path train and just a quick walk to the boardwalk. Great for hanging out and munching on good food!
Great drinks and atmosphere. There is an issue with the bartending staff. They don’t give due attention to customers even when there are almost none. Also, when closing out they hand you the point of sale device and make you choose the tip amount while staring at it (the default tip amounts are 25, 22, and 20% so it is going to be awkward if you want to tip 15% which is what the bartenders sometimes deserve)
