Our go to for food and drink when in town. Welcoming bartender, Peggy, provided outstanding service and information on some seasonal beer. It was quiet afternoon in Bello's and it was easy to carry on conversations. After paying the tab, I unknowingly had left my credit card and didn't realize it until we heard Peggy calling my name. She went over and above and ran down the street after us to get my card to me. Thank you Peggy!!! She's Amazing. read more

This is definitely going to be a new stop, and all the years I've been in ironbound have never even thought of going to an Irish pub. Burgers here are fantastic, and the beers are flowing nicely. Bartenders are super friendly. Bar is a bit on the small side, but it worked for us. I look forward to returning. read more

Great spot, close to the train station if you want to grab a quick drink due to possible delays or if you arrived early. As always, one of the cons is there isn't any parking but seems like a local sports bar where people may come to pregame before a Devils game or even some soccer matches at Redbull Stadium. Friendly staff too, it is pretty cozy though but still a good time! read more

The staff was super nice and helpful. They have MANY beers to choose from. Based on other reviews, I went with the shrimp tacos. They were very good. You get 3 and with the coleslaw, they are very filling. As advertised, it's a pub scene, which is in a tourist area, but it seemed like local folks were there too. The music was good and at the right volume, not too loud. read more

I was staying at the Double Tree Hotel ( Airline Crew) and yelped restaurants close by. Seeing the great reviews I ventured out to try Bellos. First off it was right across the street on the other side of EWR Penn Station. When I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly bartender. At times it's awkward for a woman to sit at a bar alone but I was immediately made to feel comfortable and welcome. I stayed about an hour and half, enjoyed a drink and a yummy cheeseburger. They have a very nice menu and very very reasonable prices. Lots of sports on many TV's . I'm sure it's a great place to watch the NHL playoffs ! Next time I have a Newark layover I'm definitely going to back ... who needs to go into the city when the fun is around the corner ! read more

Cute spot fashioned after an English pub. Food is fresh and you can tell love (flavor and seasoning) goes into their dishes. I'm a huge fan of spots who offer healthier alternatives and this spot even makes its own dressings. So good atmosphere, great food...and amazing sangria! There is a list of cocktails and plenty of beer options. I enjoyed a couple sangrias after a martini and let's just say...don't let the idea of other places sangria fool you. The sangria here is one of a kind. Not too sweet...and perfect blend of alcohol that will sneak up on you, so tread lightly! lol Nice staff and a diverse clientele. Definitely worth checking out. read more

In the past, at least between 2018 - 2020 i used to dine here frequenrly. I moved down south and that was it. Well this year I came back for a festival that was canceled so decided to go to Bello's, what a bad day!!! Was told that they were shorthanded, BUT how does it take close to 30 minutes to serve a caesar salad. Also was told that they had a new chef, no complaints at all about my Penne a la vodka sauce with chicken!! DELICIOUS!!! read more

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Bello's. I have been going in and out of this Pub for twenty or so years. I've had good experiences and made great friends here over the years here. The atmosphere here has always been nice and welcoming. I've recommended this place many times to friends and work colleagues over the years and many have become regulars despite of the location. The standard bar food is well made and the specials are excellent. The drank choices and beer selections are vast. As time passes things change, so I stop in whenever I'm in the area. Bello's will always have a place in heart. Give it a try, you may find a home like I did. read more

I guess Manny is no longer the owner. 22 people inside the establishment for lunch and the bartender is the waitress. You really need at least 2 workers.

Grabbed food before heading out of town of flight next morning. The shrimp tacos were simply outstanding. I was shocked how tasty they were. The cabbage was shredded so finely. Loved how the shrimp were not fried. Definitely a must eat asap scenario. I would avoid take out or ordering these tacos to go, as it needs to be eaten asap so it does not fall apart. I would order this again & again. Fast service in a near capacity crowd on a Thursday night. A+ read more

This was a small bar with an upstairs for private events it seemed like. There were a few tables next to the bar with soccer memorabilia throughout the entire 1stfloor. I sat at the bar where the service was extremely friendly and accommodating. The menu had lots of interesting options ranging from traditional pub food to Portuguese dishes. I opted to share the Picadinho ($20) which was a special being offered. It was made up of clams, shrimp, pork cubes, potatoes, jalapenos, peppers, and onions in a white wine cilantro sauce. This was great value as there was plenty of food for the both of us. The sauce was tasty, but there was a ton of Worcestershire sauce present, which was different and odd. Nevertheless, the pork was very tender and had plenty of flavor. All of the toppings combined with the sauce made for a very satisfying dish. For dessert, the spumoni tartufo ($10) was ordered. It was more like a traditional vanilla and chocolate tartufo rather than spumoni. My thought was the presence of the cherry made it "spumoni." Regardless of that, it was a refreshing end to a great meal. Will I go back? Yes. read more

Tucked behind the Amtrak station in Newark, NJ, this city pub immediately transports you into the feeling that you are one of the neighbors in a neighborhood pub. I stumbled on late one night looking to eat a late dinner and the staff made me feel right at home, without being overt or bothersome. There was friendly, low key banter between the patrons and staff and it felt just right. Very good for pub food, reasonably manly priced and exceptional, albeit low key, service. Highly recommend and I don't drink! read more

Stopped by for some food before going to a concert in the area. We managed to grab a table when we got there. It was busy and loud. Our sever was super busy throughout the whole time we were there. She was nice and would check in on us which I appreciated. We started off with the nachos and they were great. I got the chicken tenders with fries. The fries were a little greasy but overall I enjoyed my meal. I ordered a jack and coke and both times my drink was a little on the weaker side. Overall, we had a good experience. read more

First and foremost this was a random find. I wasn't interested in having to go too far from my hotel to enjoy some great beer, and atmosphere. Thank God for Bello's. It was a great hole in the wall type Pub with a very expansive list of pub/bar food items. The chili was phenomenal so I highly recommend it, and definitely take advantage of the specials. Great portions for the price which I would deem as fair. Got extremely crowded so the lack of space was my only issue otherwise it was fantastic and really enjoyed the time spent drinking, laughing and listening to all the Jersey accents. I'm a Florida native and this was a great experience. read more

A small pub that was walking distance from our hotel and very welcoming for a couple visitors from the Pacific Northwest. We like trying new beers and the waiter was very helpful in recommending local drafts. We wanted some food after our cross country flight and headed over for some dinner. A burger for myself, gnocchi and grilled veggies (shared) for my wife fit the bill. Met some very nice people and were able to have a pleasant conversation despite the TV's and a pretty full bar. Bello's is definitely a stop for us the next time we're in town. read more

We stopped in for dinner before a show at the NJPAC, the reviews were great and the food and service were just average. The service was slow tbh and they forgot the bacon I ordered in my burger. Overall an underwhelming experience. We came back after the show because our cars were park there and we wanted one drink before heading home, and the peach sangria was it! That was my favorite item I got from there. read more

Food was good, but a bit expensive; though you do get a good bit of it. That said, it is a small place and trying to a table before an event at the Prudential (Devils game in my case) was very frustrating. They don't seem to care if people stay or not. I saw people come and leave that were at least equal to the number eating there. They supposedly have an upstairs seating area, but won't use it and, as said, don't seem to care if people just leave. Being able to double your business and not care seems like a stupid way to run a business and hard for me to recommend to anyone. read more

Go to Bello's, Newark's First Bistro Pub, and grab a beer or a cocktail! This unassuming, cozy pub just outside Newark Penn Station serves up giant plates of nachos.

Unfortunately.. We sat at the bar and it was immediately clear the sole bartender was swamped trying to handle the lunch crowd alone. She did an admirable job handling the parties and made time for small talk with some of the regulars but our service suffered a bit -- my order for an iced tea completely slipped through the cracks and got lost track of until the end of our meal. Even worse,.. it took longer than I would expect to get the manager behind the bar to remove it from the tab. We still love this place and the food is undeniably great, but they definitely needed an extra set of hands behind the bar this weekend.

The flavors were great, I only wish there was a little more cheese or a little less jam to balance the sweet and savory a little more, because for me it was a touch too sweet. The sourdough it was made with was delicious and fresh, I also appreciate that they don't seem to soak their grilled cheese in oil like a lot of places do (butter or nothing, please!!) My husband ordered the burger which he really enjoyed but nothing was going to top the pulled pork Mac and cheese for him. They should consider adding it to the regular menu! He originally wanted the duck sandwich but it was unavailable on this day. All in all it was a cozy afternoon together. Our waitress was very friendly and made sure to check on us without ever being too overbearing.

We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The menu had a nice assortment of items. Our server…read morewas accurate and prompt but totally deadpan. Our drinks (pear-licious martini and appletini) were good but filled so full that there was spillage on the bottom of the glass when they were served. I had the goat cheese poppers which were delicious, as was the apple salad that accompanied them. I also had a side - apples Brussels sprouts, butternut squash & celery root - a fabulous combination that I thoroughly enjoyed. The others in my party had a burger (too well done but ok) and rare seared tuna (yummy) with the same veggie side. For dessert, we tried 3: warm chocolate chip cookies (very good), baklava (ok), and espresso creme brûlée (good). We had espresso and coffee as well - which were both accompanied by biscotti which went home for a morning snack. Our reservation was 7p on a Thursday near Christmas. The place was packed with lots of larger parties and what appeared to be a holiday party. So it was LOUD and hard to hear each other speak. As the crowd thinned out, it got much better.

Friend booked this place for a large birthday brunch. There were around 16 of us total, and they…read morewere definitely able to accommodate for every one. I got a forest omelette. The omelette was a bit dry, and it wasn't really my favorite. The sausage was nice and snappy though. One of my friends got the eggs Benedict which she thought was alright. Desserts were shared around the table: carrot cake, cannolis and blueberry pie. The taste was a bit artificial and each dessert was very dry. Despite having a large party, the dessert was not finished. I like how there's plenty of parking in the back. I believe this diner has been open for quite some time. I'm not sure if it's bc when we came here it was a holiday weekend and it was super busy, but everything to me just was a bit subpar.

The customer service was great and the ambience was nice as well. The bathroom was super clean and inviting. I had the Grilled Scottish Salmon and asked for the lettuce to be replaced with a side of mashed potatoes. My colleague ordered the same thing and asked for a side of spinach, and we shared the sides. It was the best decision. The Salmon was so well seasoned it was a pleasant surprise.

However, it's nothing to write home about. What really put me off is getting a dirty glass of water twice. The first glass had lipstick on it. And the second glass you can still see lip prints.
