Bello's Pub and Grill, Newark's First Gastropub 376 Market Street, Newark, NJ 07105

"In my opinion the food is not that great here. But the service and atmosphere make up a lot. The staff is engaging, the service is quick, and the prices are fair. I have a good time every time I go."

"Food was tasty and the portions were very big, so I’d say it has good value for money. Waitress Maisa and her fellow bartender offer great service, both very patient. However, the music is unnecessarily loud (no one is there to dance), people have to keep shouting and following any of the games on display in one of the 8 TVs is impossible. Not asking for it to be a quiet secluded nook, but honestly, 20% lower volume would’ve made a huge difference without taking away from the ambience. The kitsch sports decor makes perfect sense, I appreciate it. Location is terrible at night, even with the police car at the corner it felt extremely unsafe (loitering, intoxicated people)."

"Bello's is an easy 5 stars. It's also a place near and dear to me. I've been to Bello's many many many times and can't say enough good things about the place. The team of bartenders is as good as it gets as they're always attentive to make sure you get the drink you want, don't have an empty, and can order what you want from their great menu. Bello's menu is really solid. They knock it out of the park with traditional bar food but also have some unique menu items for what might otherwise be considered a typical bar menu and sometimes they'll surprise you with some off menu specials. If you're in the North Jersey area, check out Bello's. If you don't like it, that's a You problem, not a Bello's problem. Cheers!"

"Down the street a walk away from Penn station. Food was lovely, local atmosphere. What brought me here was it's close by to the area I'm staying and it's open to midnight when other places are closed by 9pm and there's nothing to do. Our bartender was cool she was Brazilian Italian fun spirited. There were other customers who were nice and friendly and some were ready to give recommendations to what to see and check out. When staying in Newark, it's one of the places to check and hang out."

"The drinks are worth it at this location! Price are reasonable and so is the food. Also, the people are very welcoming. I've tried a few dishes here and I was pleased with what I ordered. I ordered the Crab club with old bay fries and it was AMAZING! My partner had the pasta and shrimp with vodka sauce. Now, this did not taste well. It was missing flavor and the shrimp were over cooked. The shrooms as an appetizer blew our minds! I'd definitely purchase that again. I will tell you to try this location out for yourself and you will not be disappointed in the drinks. Strong if you like whiskey and great prices for beers. Also heard if you purchase 400 beers at this location in a year, you get your own VIP seat at the bar."
