What People Are Saying About Belmont Lounge
Featured Review

Nestled between Irving Plaza and Union Square, this cozy, dimly lit bar toes the line between swanky meet market and well-worn party bar. In the early evening, a crowd of local professionals dominates the front bar, chatting over appetizers and cold beers; as night falls, a younger swarm of singles takes over the velvet couches in the back lounge, where a DJ churns out an endless string of crowd-pleasers, and slender cocktail waitresses traipse about, balancing trays of martinis. A door policy that's just relaxed enough, without being a free-for-all, produces a good crowd and an even match-up…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- A smoker-friendly, heated patio in back functions as a fourth nook for the party spillover.
- Food Served:
- A menu of standard bar fare is served tableside and at the bar until 11pm nightly.
- Know Before You Go:
- It may be difficult to know what to expect--some nights, it's a packed house by 11pm; other nights, it may begin to thin out during what should be primetime drinking hours.
Good alternative to Sidebar douchery

Good place to talk and hang out for drinks. More of a lounge than a restaurant. Dimly lit and cozy couches. I prefer coming during happy hour for the $5 margaritas. The backyard is amazing in the summer...wish it was heated for the winter.
Hungry Models!

As everyone knows Fashion week is super busy for models. After one of my shows me and some of the other models were looking for a place to get food and have a few drinks to unwind. Someone refereed us to Belmont Lounge. The food was amazing! Yes models do eat!! lol Their cocktail list was pretty awesome too.
Everyone had a fun time. When Im in the area I would def come by again for a drink ;)

A friend recommended Belmont lounge to be a while back....last week I decided to check it out! Last Friday I went in for happy hour then ended up coming back later that night to check out the night party. My friends and I had so much fun! The venue is cute, service was impeccable and with yummy food and drinks! I would def come back again! Thank you Belmont lounge!

I just moved to NYC about 4 months ago, and have been on the look-out for my new 'regular' hangout. I live on E. 16th st. and as I was exploring my neighborhood I came across Belmont Lounge (located @ E. 15th) I went inside to check it out, and was very surprised at the amount of space there is. I had a drink, talked to some of the employees & instantly felt welcomed and comfortable. I now go here every Monday w/ a few girlfriends and feel like family!
- Pros: lots of space, outdoor seating, friendly staff & management
- Cons: Gets packed during live bands/music nights
Great happy hour!!

I came in here after work to eat some bar food (you must try the nachos with chicken! They are amazing!!) I pass by Belmont everyday before & after work, and until recently had never been inside. The bar itself is really big, and its really cute. But, more importantly the drinks are cheap if you go between 4pm and 7pm for happy hour- I recommend stopping in after a long day at work.
- Pros: best well drinks!
