We came here on a Sunday for brunch to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. Knowing that our group can be a little "extra", we phoned in ahead of time to give them a heads up to prepare. By the time that we arrived, they had a table already prepared for us. The room was smaller than I expected, but overall, we were comfortable. Bel-Mar Bar and Grill offers a weekend brunch menu, as well as a daily lunch menu. What really piqued my interest was the $12 bottomless Mimosas, Bloody Mary and Sangria special. Like a true champion, our waitress kept the Mimosas full by the pitcher and was very quick and accommodating during our entire visit. We came hungry and it didn't take long to bury the lone cook in the kitchen. I ordered a burger with bacon and a fried egg. Hands down, this burger was worth the extended wait. It was HUGE and fresh. Definitely I'll be back for that alone. We ordered some Cuban egg rolls, but not enough, they were gone right after they were brought to the table. We also ordered some nachos, then even received an extra order as a courtesy because of the delays in the kitchen. We also shared a large plate of garlic parmesan chicken wings. I typically tend to sway towards baked or grilled wings in lieu of the fried variety, but to my delight, these were delicious as well. My girlfriend ordered the chicken and waffles. They were good, but probably a little too sweet for her. The chicken was decidedly spicy, but not too overpowering. My daughter ordered the cheese quesadillas with ground beef topping. I'm pretty sure that she was licking the plate just after taking her last bite. Overall, I was very impressed by the food coming out of the kitchen. Everything was consistent and no shortcuts seemed to have been taken. The serving sizes were generous and by the end, we had a fantastic meal. After all of the food was on the table, the cook came out to apologize for the food delays. We all have him kudos instead. Keep up the great work! I work in the south Tampa area frequently. I think I'm going to keep this one on my radar the next time I'm in the area for lunch. Pro Tip: Check in on Yelp for 25% off your entire order. read more

Let me set the scene: it's a Friday night, and the only thing on my agenda is to consume food with a few friends and their kids hanging with the family. So naturally, we decided to summon the mighty powers of Uber Eats and order from the legendary Bellmare Saloon. The moment the doorbell rang, I felt like I just won a food lottery. I've ordered a spread that could feed a small army: Cuban egg rolls and tacos that are about to change my life. First up, the Cuban egg rolls. These little bundles of joy are so good they should come with a warning label: "May cause spontaneous happy dances." It's as if the culinary gods took all the deliciousness of a Cuban sandwich, rolled it up, and decided, "Why not? Let's make it an egg roll!" The crispy exterior gave way to a savory, meaty filling that hit me right in the nostalgia and the taste buds. I grabbed one and suddenly felt like I was at a Miami street party--complete with the salsa music in my head. Now, onto the tacos. These aren't just tacos; they're an adult party in a tortilla. I ordered three different kinds, thinking I could share (who was I kidding?). The carne asada was marinated better than I ever am on a Friday night. And those toppings? Fresh salsa, creamy avocado, and a sprinkle of queso that would make even the dullest of evenings sparkle like a disco ball. I was practically in a food romance; I savored every bite like I was saying goodbye to an old friend. You know the feeling of regret after polishing off an entire pizza alone? Well, I had absolutely zero of that after my Bellmare order. I felt like I'd achieved something beautiful and triumphant, like I just unlocked a new level in the game of life. And let's not forget my delivery hero from Uber Eats, who arrived with a grin like they were my food fairy godparent. If only they could magically whisk away the dishes afterward! So, to anyone contemplating whether they should dive into the deliciousness of Bellmare Saloon via Uber Eats: stop deliberating, hit that order button, and prepare to embark on a flavor adventure that could easily become part of your adulting highlights reel. In the great words of taco connoisseurs everywhere: life's too short for bland food. Treat yourself, and may your weekends be filled with Cuban egg rolls and tacos that don't judge you for not sharing! read more

Good sports bar with bar food at a fair price. You can dine in, pick up, or have delivered via food delivery apps. There are seating options indoors and outdoors with plenty of tvs on at all times. The table shared the Famous Matt's Mix wings, which are wings seasoned with a mix of garlic parmesan, hot (buffalo sauce), and cajun seasonings/sauces. They mostly take like buffalo with parmesan cheese but are good. For my main I had the philly cheesesteak with curly fries. It was alright but not my favorite. The cheesesteak was small and the cheese was hard/ dried out. It left me feeling hungry and I ended up ordering more food to go with my dinner. I've previously had the quesadillas and wraps and would recommend those over the cheesesteak; specially the blackened chicken quesadilla and the chicken caesar wrap. When I arrived and checked in on Yelp I was surprised to find a 25% off offer which was very nice. read more

We like to support the local places and social media on this little bar looked like a Cool place ,but if your not a local your getting the cold shoulder here... at least the Beer was cold. Staff basically checked out, with that being said you can tell there is no management present. I asked the staff how long this place has been around, and she said for a couple of years but this place is For Sale so no telling how much longer we will be here. Now that answers why this place has a bad vibe, we finished our cold beer and headed over to a cool place on the bay. read more

I like Bel Mar, and it's about as good as it looks. The service is always great, even on busy days! The girls are super nice, and they go above and beyond. I come with a sometimes big group, and they've never been less than phenomenal servers. Their beer selection could be better, but hey. It's a sports bar aimed to a specific group of people. They're going to focus on mostly domestic non-craft beers. They have several options for vegetarians/vegans, and I like each of item I've tried. The food isn't phenomenal, but it's a sports bar and focuses on the atmosphere, which is understandable. I just have one small critique, and it's very weird. For some reason, every time I would order a veggie quesadilla, the cook staff add pickles. There isn't a quesadilla with pickles on the menu, so it was really jarring the first time it happened. Then it happened again and again, even when I would clarify that I didn't want pickles in my veggie quesadilla (and the girls would look at me like I have 5 heads). It became a running joke in my group, and it was really weird that it kept happening. I'm not sure if the cook staff were messing with me (I was there often enough that I was recognizable) or what, but it was really weird and I stopped ordering quesadillas. Lol. I stuck with the salad and tots, which are really great! read more

Hands down our favorite place to come and watch football on Sunday. The $20 champagne bucket is a go-to and they always have decent drink & beer specials. Chicken Wings are usually very good and I recommend ordering them extra crispy. Cuban Egg Rolls, Turkey and Gouda Sandwich, and Chicken Nachos are among a few of the regular go-tos for us. They also have a good chips & salsa and queso option. Just about everything we have ordered has been good. It has been a bit inconsistent lately and the food has been coming out extra greasy, but I'm hoping that's just an easy fix! read more

This place was AMAZING! My husband and I are "yelpers" - we make many of our restaurant selections based off what yelp images show us. I saw your wings and I HAD to try them. They did not disappoint. Upon arrival, we noticed queso & chips on the menu...my husband is a queso connoisseur...he named this the best in the area. The flavor was impeccable but more importantly, as it starts to cool down, it remains it consistency. Many other places harden up and thicken - this was perfectly smooth and creamy EVERY dip! Hats off to the kitchen. Also, $5 Tito's! Woohoo! The bar is quaint but has a lot of TVs and a good vibe. We arrived promptly at 11am and many regulars trickled in. It's definitely a hidden gem. read more

Stay away!! Even the beef was off here. We ordered the Monday burger specials and our waitress suggested the wagyu burger, which I didn't think would be part of the $5.65 deal, so I said heck yes! I also asked for cheese and bacon and a side of truffle fries...no judgment please My husband basically had the same, but with tots. What came from that kitchen was NOT WAGYU!! When I saw the burger I asked about the cheese and bacon as it was not i closed and our waitress explained that it was INSIDE the patty!! What...I didn't ask for that and I that's GROSS the fries were also not truffle, but pick your battles! I cut the burger in half and I always do and the meat looked WEIRD, not just because it appeared to have a disease with the bits of cheese and bacon inside, but it was oddly sinewy! I took a bite and knew immediately i would not be finishing it no matter how hungry I was. I had 2-3 bites and that was it. The fries were meh, but my husbands tots were decent. There are too many great places around to waste your tastebuds, time and $$ here. read more

This bar seems like a nice neighborhood/local bar. We sat outside, which was probably a bad idea, it was sweltering hot, with no fans in sight. We had the the mango habanero wings and the fish tacos.

I don't know if they were recently bought or just changed their name but the bar is now called Bel Mar Saloon. There was a pretty decent crowd for a Wednesday night. We tried the Cuban egg rolls and the meatball sandwich with fries. Two of us split the food. It was more than enough. The egg rolls came with a side of mustard and mayo mixture. They were delicious and I definitely could have ate more. It came with 2 egg rolls cut in half. The meatballs were ginormous. The sandwich was flavorful and not too messy. I did not have to eat it with a fork and knife. The French fries are like carnival fries. Crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. We sat outside. The music outside was a little too loud but it was a good mix of different types of music. Our server was attentive and nice. I checked in on the yelp app and was able to redeem 25% off my order. My bill was originally $26 for 3 vodka and sodas, and 1/2 the food. I will go back! read more

So this is no longer Bel Mar Bar and Grille but Bel Mar Saloon so they don't wont take the Yelp 25% off deal anymore. They did for me though. The food is excellent for a saloon! Had a great BLT and Chicken sandwich with great fries and side salad. Plenty of TVS to watch sports. One note to the owner. Although you invested in a handicap ramp and toilets you need a table that is not stool height to meet ADA! Just one would be an easier add then a lawsuit! My spouse won't come back until you get one or maybe two. read more

I thought this restaurant was really good. I really enjoyed my salad and the service was great. They seemed to have a good beer selection. I'm a very eco-friendly person, so the huge negative was that they used plastic cups and straws. It's 2019, we know how harmful plastic is to the environment, use glass, it's way better and makes the place seem more upscale. I'd love to come back, but probably won't because of this. Stop using plastic cups and we'll definitely be back. read more

Enjoyed our time at the Bel Mar bar and grill. While I don't drink I enjoyed the outdoor seating and the friendly environment. Our waitress was sweet and took care of our large group. The food here is great! The wings are my absolute favorite! That said, the southwest egg rolls are a close second! Parking car be a bit tricky on a late Friday afternoon. Overall great vibe, staff and food! read more

Such a good spot! Service frome everyone is so friendly and inviting. Crowd is super friendly and food is solid bar food. This is what a local bar is supposed to be. If you're not local you'll still feel welcome. Only downside is parking and food timing. Not long wait, just random. read more

The Cuban egg rolls are a must try! Good food and nice staff. I got the boneless wings. They were giant but tasty and delicious!

This place recently changed ownership and the friendliness of the staff really comes through. It's a small neighborhood bar with a ton of tv's so it makes for a great game watching place. Full bar and beers on tap along with great daily specials. The sandwiches are great and come with your choice of fries or my personal favorite, tator tots. The chicken sandwich I had on my recent visit was cooked well and served rather quickly once my order was placed. Prices are also reasonable so it makes for a great place to grab lunch or dinner. read more

Welcome to the whitest bar in America... Great amount of TVs for the space. Friendly bartenders/waitresses. The owner caters to her friends and regulars and ignores everyone else; but I expect that kind of behavior in South Tampa. Food is pretty good. Most drinks are worth the cost (ie my Deep Eddys with splash of soda at $7 seems reasonable) however, hubs ordered a Stoli Moscow Mule which was $8 for the vodka and $2 for the ginger beer. So $10 for a Mediocre (see weak) Mule. Stick to basic bitch drinks and you'll be fine. This is one of my neighborhood bars, meaning the good outweighs the bad for my 1 mile trek. read more

Great service. Friendly staff. Moderate prices. $6 wells... Food isn't great. But really, it is the crowd I can't stand. Today this douche decided to block in us and 4 other cars so he could park RIGHT ON TOP of the bar instead of parking in the vacant lot 300 feet away. So freaking rude. Had to do like a 26 point turn to leave. And he did this with his company parking decal on display. Also the girl he was with could have afforded the extra 100 yard walk. I can't stand the people who come here. read more

Place is under new management... thought I would retry after I stopped going to it before. Tried first time at 2-3pm.... gave up and left due to server chatting with customers forever... and well I came for lunch and to eat. This week tried again, late lunch, burger and fries. Burger was good... fries were fried beyond understanding why they even brought from the kitchen... when served, server said they just look that way and let him know he if they are over cooked. I was done eating my burger before the server ever returned... skipped the fries. My last visit unless I just want to drink. read more

Bel Mar Saloon - Fries at end of life... and they served them... what the!?!? - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Searched out a vikings bar in the tampa area and this place popped up. Didnt know what to expect, but got in the uber and took a 20 minute drive there. Upon arrival, the place is small. I mean, really small. Has a nice small deck which has four tables with four tvs. Inside the decor is all wood, it's nothing fancy. It was busy, but not to where I couldn't find a seat. I went to the bar, and stood there for a good 2 minutes less than seven feet where the bartender was standing. He was either watching a game or just staring into space. I got the fries that you can tell were hand cut, (says on the menu) which were tasty. After an hour I decided to get the boneless wings. I'll be honest, they didnt look appetizing. They were pretty good. The girl that was serving basically had the whole place. Not sure where the lost in space bartender went. She did a good job at coming around and checking up, but I would suggest always to offer a menu. I saw some reviewers said they didnt honor the check in. They honored mine. All in all, a good place to watch football with a couple of friends. read more

I just finished having lunch here with my mom and I have to say we were quite impressed. The prices were excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious and fresh. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and she had the ground beef nachos and a side salad. My sandwich had just the right balance of bleu cheese, buffalo sauce, Swiss cheese and chicken and I was happy to see that the meat was grilled yet still very juicy and tasty. I noted the excellent happy hour deals from 11am to 6pm Sun-Thurs with both food items and drink items being nearly half off. Today's deal was Nacho Tuesday- nachos or $4 and you get Budweiser for $2. I'm uploading some pictures of there happy menu now. The restaurant is kind of small and so is the patio but they make it work. There's a good number of flat screen TVs around so it would be a great place for catching a game. read more

Pretty cool new place on Manhattan Ave (I've been told this is the old location of Toast). They have beer and wine as well as a food menu featuring mostly sandwiches. I did not have the chance to sample any of the food, but will return to try it. The beer menu was really good (Coppertail Unholy PINT for $6?!) and the food definitely sounded appetizing. They have indoor and outdoor seating with heaters for chilly nights. It was not very crowded on this particular Sunday night that I visited. Seems like a really nice addition to the neighborhood. Worth a visit. read more

Stopped into this new addition to South Tampa over the weekend . I have seen this location turnover constantly over the years so I was hoping this establishment will have some staying power . From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the owner Matt , extremely friendly and personable . First thing I noticed is the plethora of flat screen TVS on the wall . I came in to watch the Rays game but couldn't help but think how great this place will be to watch the football games in season! Ordered a beer off their extensive and detailed beer menu . Service was very attentive throughout , water was constantly re filled and never letting my beer get too low without asking if I need another on the way . Was slightly hungover from the day before so decided to go the unhealthy route with my food selection . While the menu is limited to things like a sandwich , salads , and small apps Matt let me know that they do not have a freezer and most things are made in house from scratch . I decided on the bacon grilled cheese and a side Caesar salad . Salad came out first and fast with delicious homemade croutons , fresh shaved Parmesan , and the lettuce that was not overdressed with a tasty version of caesar dressing . I devoured it! Grilled cheese came out hot and crispy on the outside with lots of gooey melted cheese and chunks of bacon on the inside . It looked like it was done on a panini press with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top . It was very , very tasty and satisfying ! All the other food around me looked very well prepared also and if it is anything like the items I ordered you can expect good flavor and satisfaction . Only knock would be the size of the place , looks very limited if it was a day busier than a slow Sunday afternoon . But I would not mind coming in with a group and posting up for football season at all if I can get a seat . Will def return for the good food and phenomenal service . Glad this location has tenet that seems like it will be around for the long haul . read more

It's a typical sports bar. The food is only so so, and expensive for the quality. Their flatbread's are about the best thing. Tater tots are good, but get them without the seasoning. I think their sandwiches could be good, but the bread they use is not great. Burgers are hit and miss. I have always felt the service was lacking, but I remind myself it is a bar first and restaurant second. You will get better service if you are a regular. read more

I come for the ambience and stay for the decor.. foods great and the music is at the perfect volume

Needed a place to watch my NFL team on TV and this local pub has the "package"..great start...it was also a home game for the TB Bucs so I figured why not go check it out, am overdue for a visit there. Got a seat at a table with the game I was looking for already on a TV...huge!! ordered a beer, brought to me by a most pleasant bartender. There is patio seating available but just a tad to chily for me this visit... Watched other tables order food, that looked very fresh, so I decided to order a pressed turkey and bacon sandwich. Arrived hot and just off the press,and was awesome...beers cold, staff friendly...now if they just could have had my NFL team win that day...sigh...consider to offer just plain potato chips with each sandwich, as "upgrade" to sauteed potatoes was available. I will be back...go if you are in the neighborhood read more

We went for the early happy hour (11am-3pm) specials and were indeed made happy. Excellent mojo pork Cuban sandwich with dipping gravy and home style (big and succulent) Italian meatballs with marinara sauce for $5 each plate.

More big flat screen tvs than you can watch and your sports bar vibe is taken care of. The staff was friendly and accommodating to all our requests. Great hosting skills. We will be back to sample more offers both happy hour and regular menu items. read more
