Bellos Lounge & Restaurant

Great environment, good vibes, DJ was excellent. Service was on point. All around a good experience. I will definitely be back. The wings were seasoned to perfection and fried hard.

This is an experience you don't want to miss. This place makes you feel more than welcome and the food selection is amazing. Celebrate your most special moments you won't be disappointed.

I've had plenty of Jamaican curry chicken and they never have any heat. Well Bellos curry chicken does and it smells fresh, you can smell the green and orange peppers. It's a quality meal and the taste is superb.
Next is the oxtails which, I've never had. Never had a desire to even try it but Bellos oxtail dish looked so good I had to try it. The season was really good. I didn't know what to expect for the flavor but I was pleasantly surprised.

The waitress was excellent, professional and prompt.

Folks, it's the Doctor here, and I tell you I really wish I could give a raving review of this establishment...

The owner is a good person. A business savvy, young, intelligent, swarthy man,,, the food has improved by leaps and bounds the last few years, I watched the change,,, and the music is to DIE for. This is the only place in the metropolitan area to hear real Afro pop and Afro-beat DJ's.. I really do love coming to this place.

I wish I could give this place five stars... However,

I just recently I stopped in on a Friday. Ooooooh I danced and I danced. I met fun people laughed and drank. We had a blast. But then I woke up to three additional tabs charged to my credit card .... It was clearly a bar staff member who performed the charges for her friends drinks.... (I offered to buy her a drink, she offered herself the MOST expensive drink ever made, and I said she was out of her mind..) So I guess the charges was revenge, for denying her luxurious choice ... that is just NOT acceptable.

I spent 90 bucks, my card said I spent $216. And I tipped well.

This place could be a unique cultural gem for the entire greater area. I pray the general manager cleans house in all staff, keeps the best teammates and finds the chinks in his armor.

#RVA is now a national foodie town. The future could be extremely bright for the only 100% AfroBeat restaurant nightclub lounge.

Or it could be bleak. It's up to them.

I was doing a quick visit to RVA and was referred to check out Bellos Lounge and I did. I got there while they were only serving from the Late Night Menu typical Bar food. I ordered wings and fries and I won't order them again!! They were so salty like over the top salty. I used the ranch to dilute the excess salt and that ain't help. The ambiance was really nice and the customer service was awesome. I did order drinks and they serve them in plastic cups. There's no cover charge to get into the lounge. The music was pretty good and the crowd was decent. I will
Maybe go during the day to retry the food because maybe it was a diff chef. If you like Hookah you'll enjoy this spot.

Had a late dinner on a Saturday night upstairs. They were very accommodating to our large group although the service was a bit slow and a little weird like having our plastic silverware/not enough silverware for the whole table, no napkins, etc. The food was really good though. We shared all the appetizers. Favorites were the crab cakes, the coconut shrimp, and the calamari. For an entree I had the salad with jerk chicken and it was yummy. The dressing was a little strange but otherwise it was good. Other got the peri peri chicken and it's almost a whole chicken with rice and salad. The rice has some kick. The salmon was delicious too. Definitely a cool spot to check out in Richmond.

Stay away from this problematic ass place. Worst service, attracts the worst crowd and taxes for everything. The employees are so rude and the food is very mid.

Jollof rice is absolutely phenomenal. I live 2 hours away and have contemplated driving there every day. The servers are friendly. The music is on point.

Great atmosphere and food. I didn't even know this place had an upstairs. Next time I have to check it out.

Went here on a date night and were surprised to learn that after 9, it is required to buy a bottle in order to stay at a table. Not a huge deal, the lounge definitely gets packed and hype after 10ish.
Food was delicious, no complaints!
