Bell House Bar & Restaurant Review

Clean reasonably priced bar with polite staff and fun events.

Super fun, affordable night out. Lots of space for dancing and not uncomfortable creepos.

This is for Halloween night. We arrived around 10, we got inside in 10 minutes. When we left at 1, there were more than 100 people in a very long line. So if you do not have tickets or if you are not invited, try to get here early. The place is like a warehouse, with a long bar at the end of it. It was a good night, and we had a lot of fun, but honestly something was missing. Like the place has nothing that connect everything into one big party. Maybe it is because I am more into electronic Music when I go to a place like that, and that night (Or at least the few hours we were here) was more about 90 s.

I love the chill vibe of this place. Awesome atmosphere and many drinks to choose from. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. Planning a party here for my brother next week!!

Cool, intimate performance venue that's pretty easy to get to (from NJ) and has fairly decent parking (for places in the city). Quality bar/bartenders are a huge +!

To be honest with all of you still have actually been there but I was passing by it and then saw the line and the people outside. Everyone that was outside seemed like they were having a great time. So I definitley want to check this place out.

They let you come inside and grab a beer to drink while you wait outside in line. That's a solid system, right there.

Very huge bar and venue space. And The Church were Spectacular, like always!

The venue was nice. The people were nice and the staff was super welcoming.

This is a wonderful spacious place offering a variety of different types of studios.It was the perfect venue for our 80 member choral group. The only problem is their elevator can only hold a few people at a time. Allow extra time to get to your scheduled studio.

If your are a poetry lover like moi..then this is where you need to be. Period!

Great value for music and live podcasts. Cool bar and nice neighborhood.

A good venue in Brooklyn. Quaint kind of feel, twee almost. QSC based sound system I believe. Why they want to put olives on nachos, ugh

Went for The Rub night. Music was bad the entire night. Brief spurts of recognizable songs with long periods of people just standing awkwardly wondering what the dj was playing. The woman handing out bracelets was extremely rude. We peeked our heads out the door to see if it was still raining and she yelled at us for blocking the door, saying "not sure if you noticed but this is a business and you can't just block the door". There was no one waiting to get in and we were in the doorway for at most ten seconds.

This is one of the best music venues in NYC. It's a little remote, but the industrial surroundings (and the bizarre Simith & 9th Sts subway station) add to the atmosphere.

Solid beer selection, excellent sound. What else do you need?

Nice place! Fun science shows in the back theme based drink specials

Its like every typical bar. Bad lighting, expensive drinks. The stage area is fairly big, but seating areas are lacking.

It's a nice space for events with a good size stage and 2 bars, however the rest rooms are a bit disgusting.

A fun place for a show that will force a pregnant lady that has been sitting inside hours before a show to stand outside inline because an impromptu line has formed inside the bar.

Great location, beautiful space.

terrible unfriendly disrespectful and outright rude staff!! Unacceptable behavior from unintelligent door staff.

Don't waste a dime at this hell hole. Would give ZERO STARS if possible

I've only ever been here for the 90's dance party and it's great. The bathrooms are usually awful but the song variety makes that less annoying.

Great venue to see your favorite artist in a smaller setting. Superior food and bartenders!

My first time,was there for Pub Choir.service was good. The show was fantastic I had a great time.the Bartender made perfect drinks.I had Gin and Tonic.

Love the bell house. Great events at low prices, big space, some food. Get to your event early so you can get a seat when the doors open.

Pretty good place to see a show. Full bat bar with draft beer and tall boys.

Always enjoy attending events here. The bar service is usually pretty great despite the large crowds. Definitely try to see one of the smaller events that are held in the front room-it's more intimate.

Freaken awesome.... Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow is Monday.

Lots of good events happening. MAKE SURE TO GET IN EARLY. The seating is extremely limited and if you come even 10 minutes s after doors, you will likely be standing ding for several hours.

Good beers but the sound balance was a bit off, killed me ears for a podcast

I saw Pete Davidson and John Mulaney here a few months ago! Loved the space, fits a lot of people, there's a bar section and a seated are that, FYI, fills up really quickly. They get great performers.

They do (or this may just be for the show I was at) the new thing where you have to keep your phone in a sealed bag on your person-- I love this, support it 100%. It's not right to rip of comedian's content and post it before they've chosen to release it online, and it's often abused to take jokes out of context to generate gotcha moments for clicks, and I'm glad that the venue did this to protect the artist's ownership of their own material.

Purchased tickets to a venue here and got stopped at the door because someone in my party did not have ID; missed show and no refund. This place needs a better way to manage their underage drinking concerns (bracelets for ID carriers over 21yo, perhaps?)

Horrible seating arrangements for seated events. Showed up 3min after doors and the only remaining seats were along the wall, blocking the screen for the show with a railing. Asked the door person and bartender about it and was very rudely told that I should have gotten here earlier. The remaining floor space in the room could easily cover another 60 seats. I don t recommend this place and won t be coming again anytime soon.

Great bar, friendly staff, great local beer selection. The building is handicap accessible but be warned, none of the Brooklyn subway stops south of Atlantic are handicap accessible. Major love to the wonderful local Brooklynites who helped me carry my buddy and his wheelchair up the stairs at 9th Street St.

Came here to see Amanda Seales for her "Smart, Funny, and Black" tour. Pretty spacious. Staff seemed pretty cool. I really enjoyed the show. Not sure if I'll make it my business to go back unless I'm in the neighborhood or Amanda has another show there.

Went here for the first time to see Smart, Funny, and Black. Cool venue, decent drinks, good vibe.

Probably my favorite venue in NYC. It's spacious and chill. Staff is mostly friendly and nice. Drinks aren't cheap but they're affordable. To top it all off, they regularly have great events.

Nice venue but very disorganized when it comes to selling tickets and letting people in the auditorium. Be on your guard and pay attention when going in for a performance

Small space with little seating but always has interesting events.

Good place to see a show or one of their many special events. Cheap drinks. Lots of space.

Great place for entertainment lots of music, comedy, drinking games, etc. Fun all year around! Arrive super early if you want a seat.

Can't go wrong here. If you're here for a show or just simple drinks.

Saw a taping of Ask Me Another and had a great time. Make sure to get there early to get a seat for the show. We were 2nd in line outside around 5:45 and got seats.

Very good music !!! I actually like this place, they have some great beer and good snacks

Gotta be honest, the staff was a wee bit lax, I think they could use a little more charm and pep, life is a highway

I come here mainly for the venue in back. Big hall space! Smaller but open bar space up front. Great for groups. Easy to mingle.

Great shows, secret science 1st monday of the month is a unique and fascinatiting staple of this venue. Pricey drinks but great venue for unique talks and shows.
