Keep scrolling to see all the awesome offerings at Belle Bar this summer!
What is Belle Bar?
Belle Bar is a brand new, open-air concept designed to complement its neighbor, Southern Belle. Led by James Beard Award–nominated Chef Joey Ward, Belle Bar offers elevated small bites, a fun beverage program, and lively weekly programming in a setting that feels both playful and inviting.
With a signature “Bless Your Heart” pink neon sign, picnic tables, standing high-tops, layered area rugs, and warm string lighting, it’s the perfect place for a casual night out with your people.
And the best part? They’ve got tons of amazing local programming, including:
- Wednesday Jazz Nights from 7–9 p.m.
- Thursday DJs from 7–9 p.m., featuring throwback-inspired sets
What’s on the menu at Belle Bar?
Chef Joey said in a statement,
Belle Bar is our way of bringing Southern Belle outside – keeping the same care and quality in the food, but in a setting that feels a little more relaxed and spontaneous… It’s the kind of place where you can drop in, share a few oysters, have a great drink, and stay longer than you planned.
You can expect:
- a raw bar with oysters and crudo
- housemade chicharrones
- bistro fries
- French onion dip
- Char Siu chicken skewers
- A-Town Burger
- Strawberry Tart
- Ube Cheesecake
- Chocolate cream pie
And easy-drinking wines, specialty cocktails, and a satellite bar in partnership with ASW Distillery.
