Mark Rudd2 months agoThis is a nice place. I'm here on a rainy Friday afternoon and there are lots of people eating and drinking. I had two flights 8, 4/5 oz beers.. the beer I had today was below average, but I've had all their flagship beers and like them, today I had an odd mix of beers I've never tried before. There are approximately 27 beers on tap today. The food looks great! I'll be back. 🍻
MARY ANGUIANO2 months agoSince it was before 5 PM, we ordered from the bar and were able to choose our own seats. The menu was available by QR code, so we pulled it up on our phones to place our order. We started with the Deviled Eggs and a side of fries with a variety of dipping sauces. For our entrées, we both chose the Fried Chicken Sandwich, one served with a side salad and the other with fries. The food arrived incredibly fast and was well prepared. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and enjoyable. Combined with the relaxed atmosphere, this was a great spot to grab a beer and a bite to eat.
James Robertsa month agoWhat a lovely experience this was. The brewery itself was lovely. Very much like an old pub. We had great service and some top notch piers. The even had a specialty beer for the mountain goats to work performing on their loan that night. Being able to have beer and then walk out back to say a grade concert was fantastic!
Tim Lamborn2 weeks agoFirst time visiting Bells Eccentric Cafe. Went and seen Dope Lemon on a Saturday night, 7/18/26. I was very surprised as to how cool Bell’s is, the venue was outdoors and very well organized with adult beverages and food located at the back of the building. Prices were reasonable and the staff were very friendly and greeted me with a smile. It’s mostly a standing room only venue for the show, however there are picnic tables in the back corner where limited viewing is available. They did have ADA accessible seating. The venue is small so parking can be an issue when bigger bands come to play. Their lot isn’t large enough to handle a big crowd, however on the weekends the parking area across from the Bell’s parking lot is permissible to park in. During the week as well after 6 pm I believe, there’s a sign noting the hours. All in all a fantastic evening at a great venue.
Jorge Martinez5 months agoRecommended by the hotel staff and I am so glad they did. We were not planning to stop by here but since the front desk staff mentioned it was a most visit we decided to walk there since it was only like 8 min from the hotel. I got a beer flight of 4 and hubby got 3 and all the beers were awesome and very reasonable price. We also ordered their hotdog and when I am telling it was good it cause it was AMAZING, probably hands down the best hotdog I had on a very long time.. that combination of the beef link, ham and shredder pork was something I never had before. We came for the beer but their snacks didn't disappointed.
