HAPPY HOUR. What a cool spot! Since I moved to Belmont I have been hearing about this place and I…read morechose my birthday to finally check it out. Stopped by when they opened and it was empty. I knew it was an old jailhouse but it really is still in the style of an old jailhouse with concrete walls and creepy staircases. The bar is awesome - lots of good options and a wonderful cocktail menu. But what really shines here besides the drinks are the happy hour food choices. Half off M-Th 5-7pm and we enjoyed wings and potato wedges. Outstanding food for an amazing price. I need to go back to try more of that menu!

Then you climb another flight of stairs to reach the bar. It was cool! Very dark, and there's a little room with a TV too. The menu had some classic drinks, seasonals and a few food options. We grabbed a little table (just a few high tops and bar seats) and one of the bartenders came over to take our order. Both drinks were good! Couldn't tell ya what I chose (ha!). I don't live in Belmont but I would definitely stop in again sometime!

Loved this dog bar experience! We went on a dreary Sunday morning for brunch…read more We decided last minute to bring our Cavapoo and had never been before so he wasn't registered. It said online it could take a couple days to get approved , but we had no problems just bringing him and his vaccinations. They seem strict about seeing vaccination history so I knew he would be safe and not get sick from other dogs! The check in process was quick and easy! Since it was not the best weather wise, it was only us and one other group there, but a friend said it does get crowded but never too crowded! They had a ton of picnic tables outside and beach volleyball courts. They have 2 sections outside, one is off leash and one is on leash. Inside is also on leash, so some options there! The bar is accessible no matter what section you are in, and they had a full bar. There were also some TVs inside with sports on. The facility seemed SO clean for a dog bar, I was impressed by that. The bartenders were also SO nice asking about our dog and his breed and making sure we had everything we needed. The facility seemed secure with lots of doors and magnetic locks so no dogs could escape. They did have brunch and it was delicious!!! I got the avacado toast. The egg was a tad salty but still very good! I would definitely go back!

The River Room is a very cozy spot, especially during the holidays. It was decorated beautifully…read morefor Christmas and had a warm, inviting atmosphere. One downside was learning that pets are not allowed inside--even though they don't serve food--which is always a bit of a letdown for us. That said, Luna was welcome on the outdoor patio... unfortunately, it was about 20 degrees outside. We didn't let the cold ruin the experience, though. They have patio heaters and warm drinks available, which helped a lot. We grabbed comfy outdoor chairs right next to the Christmas tree, and the setting was really nice, especially with the water view just steps away. It never got overly busy, but there was a steady flow of people coming and going, which gave it a relaxed, lively feel without being crowded. We both ordered the Hardywood Gingerbread Stout (9.2% ABV), which was their only holiday beer available at the time--they mentioned they had another seasonal option but had already sold out. The beer was pretty good, though definitely strong. We actually left to check out the only other bar in town, but it turned out to be closed, so we circled back to The River Room for another round. Two gingerbread stouts came out to $14 total which felt very reasonable. They do charge a small membership fee (around $1) since it's a private club, and we were told that fee goes toward animal conservation, which is a nice bonus. Overall, despite the cold and the indoor pet restriction, we really enjoyed the ambiance, holiday decor, and relaxed vibe--and would definitely stop back again when the weather is warmer.

I can see why this place is popular. We got the crispy Brussel sprouts (10/10 recommend), bacon wrapped scallops and sliders.

The scallops were also top notch - I'd order them over and over again. They also had a great drink menu from drafts, cans and mixed drinks (as well as non-alcoholic choices). If you're in Belmont, don't sleep on this spot!

This is our second visit here, and our first time with the dinner menu. There were lots of great choices! We tried the hush puppies appetizer and the deviled eggs to start.

We wanted to have a little more leisurely time there, maybe try a dessert, but we had to be at an event, so there was a time constraint. Overall, this is a great spot in downtown Belmont.
