The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..

They have a bunch of different weekly things that go on here such as movie nights and so on. This is not a bar where guys can be dude bros this is definitely where the girls come to gossip and have little snacks and I love everything about that. The only men I saw here were with women and I think that was 3 including mine ABSOLUTELY coming back with friends and ordering a bunch of appetizers and drinks everything here looks as good as it tastes and the drinks are strong! The staff here is super sweet and just lovely

They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.

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!

Thankfully our night ended amazing but someone from upper management needs to address this behavior as it was completely unprovoked unprofessional behavior.

It has an upscale yet relaxed ambience that will remind you of Bridgerton with its royal flair. We went in the evening so the lounge was very dim, which was expected. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. No complaints there. The menu is filled with a variety of craft cocktails like the flawlessly blended Golden Elixir, wines as well as shareable plates that were beyond enjoyable.

We came in for a weekend brunch and were immediately impressed by the experience. Our waiter was super attentive and helped steer us toward some great choices on the menu (you pull it up through a QR code at the table). We ordered the French toast and the Eggs Benedict to split. The French toast was golden with just the right balance of sweetness. The Benedict comes layered with smoked salmon and spinach, and it was so good my friend even ordered a second one to take home! I've actually picked up sushi to-go from here at night in the past, so I already knew the food was reliable, but sitting down during the day let me appreciate how nice the space actually is. At night it has that dim, moody lighting that makes it a great date-night pick, but brunch was relaxed, bright, and didn't feel rushed at all. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whether it's for casual weekend brunch or drinks and sushi on a night out.

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. Great presentation and delicious. For entrees we went with the chicken and gravy, fish tacos and the love bug smash burger. Huge portions and really really good. We were very full afterward. 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. Also, this is Jonas family owned restaurant so check out all the music memorabilia by the restrooms.

The pimento was delicious, but serving it with a 'cheesy ' bread took away from the flavor of their delicious recipe.
