About this restaurant

Innovative
Neighbourhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

bar belly is a Lower East Side Bar Restaurant from the Silkstone Team (The Fat Radish, and The East Pole). We are inspired by seasonal, modern British cooking and focused on farm-table practices and local sourcing. Our food service emphasizes seasonal small plates, and a wide and daily-rotating selection of oysters.Our cocktail selection is reflective of our constantly meandering interests: from local ingredients, to unique traditions, and forgotten or painstaking processes and flourishes.

Our team sources the finest seasonal and heritage produce from specialist local farms and has created a communal ever-evolving setting that, like other Silkstone locations, is vibrant, approachable, and made by caring hands.

The staff were all super nice and very welcoming, but the service was soooooo slow. It's a busy place so to some degree that's just the nature of things, but the meal took 2 hours, which is a reallllly long time to sit on a stool if all you're really looking for is dinner. I would recommend this place more for people who are more focused on drinking and hanging out for a while versus having dinner.

It was a nice experience, we would definitely go again. Only thing we wish we would have known is there isn't really a dinner menu. They have oysters and a few small dishes/apps. Had a great time!

Been here on a free 1st or 2nd dates and it’s always been fun. Live music is a good touch - normally ave a cassy 3 piece as band which is followed by a DJ. Ts very small - Tbd be awkward and an inconvenience if anyone got up to dance so just sit tight, eat the tastes food, enjoy the good mix off cocktails and wines and maybe you’ll finish the night the right way!

Bar Belly is a cozy venue with good drinks and small plates to share amongst a group of friends. However, there were several down sides. The service overall was just atrocious, waited almost half an hour just to get a menu. We then had to flag down the waitress every time we wanted to order another drink. Their happy hour specials were also very deceiving - I had confirmed their cocktail specials over the phone during my reservation confirmation, however were told to pay full prices upon arrival. ALSO, tip was already included in out bill, but the server did not mention this to us even once so we paid double the tip we would have. Very sketchy.

Service is spotty. They brought the oysters after the main dish, with a lame excuse. Happy hour choices a bit too curated. Main dish prices a bit high. But go for the oysters and happy hour wine at the bar and enjoy the classic music; then skip somewhere else for the main fish.

They had an issue with their seafood order so there was no seafood. Waiter was clueless, never said anything until after 45 minutes of us being there and now starving. So we decided to stay and had to make a dinner out of french fries, caesar salad and rice with mushrooms. No one offered us even a complimentary bottle of water for the inconvenience, let alone a drink. For 2 people with 3 drinks between us, bill still came to $90 each (including tip) and we were both starving and very unsatisfied.

Really more of a bar with food than a restaurant. The food is generally good, but with such a small menu it can be hard to find what feels like "dinner." For eating, I'd recommend the affiliated (?) Fat Radish across the street.
