$22 for a mocktail? At least warn us you're charging the same price regardless. Also $22 for the thinest slice of sushi on a roll... Stars for the presentation. Flavor and customer service, lacking at that price read more

Are you searching for a sexy spot to take a date? This restaurant and bar is definitely a place that provides a sexy ambiance for a date night out. Located in the heart of downtown Downey, the restaurant is on a corner, which is close to street parking and walking distance from a parking garage (free). The restaurant menu offers creative items to choose from that allow for a delectable delight with satiating every taste bud. We ordered the tuna roll with cream cheese, which was delicious. Hookah is also provided in a unique fashion. The lounge is surrounded by a patio that only always electric Hookah. This machine is beautiful and interesting to look at. I prefer the traditional Hookah over the electric Hookah. read more

Highly recommend not coming here - they don't actually have hookah they have electric hookah - basically vapes. The vibe here also is super awkward / scummy like this girl sitting across from me grabbed some man's manhood and staff was cool with it. Anyways the manager is super understanding that they are committing fraud claiming hookah - wait I mean they make you pay for something you had one puff of and vommitted after read more

Love coming here for an after dinner cocktail. The service is amazing (thanks Paola) and the vibe is chill. I absolutely love that they have Breakfast at Tiffany's playing. #TrumanCapote The specialty cocktails are exceptional; it took me a minute to choose the "Grace Kelly". The manager is a total gentleman. Packed for Valentine's weekend. read more

This place is a cute gem in Downey. Met up with some friends at this place for drinks and it didn't disappoint. We ordered the Bella charcuterie board very delicious, the drinks were tasty and very well presented, overall great experience. 1 less star because place was empty and manager only wanted to sit people outside in cold weather with only 1 heater going. read more

I am disappointed, but not surprised, by your response. Despite your claims, my group and I had only 1-2 drinks each, which were our first and only drinks of the evening. It's unfortunate that you would attempt to discredit my review by falsely accusing me of being intoxicated. Furthermore, I find it hypocritical that you would deny any wrongdoing when there are multiple accounts of your inappropriate behavior, including getting overly familiar with guests while drinking at the bar. This behavior has been noted by other reviewers, and I'm not the only one who has experienced poor treatment at your establishment. Regarding the complimentary drinks, I specifically requested that only one drink be comped, not the entire tab. Despite this, I still paid the full amount of $120 and even provided a cash tip to your server. I would encourage you to take a closer look at the repetitive negative reviews and feedback from former employees, including the server who quit on the spot during our visit. This pattern of behavior suggests a deeper issue that needs to be addressed. I hope that in the future, you will take customer feedback seriously and take steps to improve the quality of service and overall experience at your establishment. You should review your responses to the other reviewers as your response is pretty much telling them to take a hike and deal with it elsewhere. Check out my other reviews, I'm not one to leave negative reviews nor find ways to get free things. I encourage small businesses and truly value customer service as in my line of work, your reputation is everything. read more

This spot is the BEST!!! This is my 2nd review! That's how good it is! I always take my friends here and they also fall in love with this spot! The vibe is amazing and the service is A1! Anto is the BEST! Very sweet and welcoming always makes sure we're okay: the crudo aguachiles is my fav. And the lemon drops another one of my fav. Nothing like I ever tried somewhere else . It's different for sure! Just try it! If I could put a 10 star I would. This is a very cute place to take your girl or bring your girls along. Or even guys l always see a bunch of guys smoking hookah. Ohh and the hookah is also very good, I'm not a smoker at all but the one here doesn't make me feel sick. So can't forget about that! Try this place out ! Your welcome . read more

Ambiance: the place was absolutely beautiful. It gave the vibes of Marilyn Monroe, Dorothy Dandridge glamorous Hollywood vixen. 5/5 Drinks: the drinks names were cute and the drinks themselves were tasty. Not very strong but delicious none the less 4/5 Food: the board was tasty and beautifully plated. Would've liked the fruit to have been cut or at least two pieces as the portion is shareable. So wish they would've had more food options ( so eat before you go as this is a drink and snack type bar) 3/5 Service: underwhelming. Our server was nice and attentive for the most part. The gentleman that may have been the owner or manager wasn't the nicest and made the beginning of the night very uncomfortable for my friend who was meeting me there. 2/5 On a grading scale I'd give it a C. Definitely room for improvement but overall average. read more

Had an odd interaction with a guy possibly the owner. First time trying because we were looking for a low key place to relax. Decided on this place since it was mostly empty. They had to call the owner for him to come over and I guess check us out to see if we were welcomed. After getting told some things that didn't make sence we just walked out. Weird vibe. Honestly, wouldn't go unless you want your eveing ruined. read more

I was kind of hoping for something different. There is three nightclubs on a two block radius. When I saw Bella lounge I was thinking something chill. This neighborhood already has plenty of loud music spots. I love the idea of a classy place to have a drink, and a little charcuterie board. It was just too loud for me. I couldn't even hear what anybody was saying.. The decor is really nice. Most importantly, the seating was comfortable. Don't say lounge and not be relaxing. I don't know maybe I was just sitting in the wrong place. read more

Ask for Laura !! She got the vibes going!! Made our night offered the peanut butter and jelly aka THE LAURA !!

5 stars for service by Paula. 5 stars for Anto being a great host. 5 stars for great tasting cocktails. 5 stars for the ambiance, and the foot tapping Playlist selection! I have been here 4 times in the past 4 weeks. Each time I have received superb service. Thrice by Paula and once by Ariel. Prior to visiting Bella Lounge, I had never been to a restaurant/bar that catered to drinks only. So, this was a first time experience for me. I liked it! I will be back! Thank you Anto & Paula. read more

I came here with a group of 9, and since we were a large group they automatically charged us 20% gratuity, but when my friend who paid checked his credit card statement, they DOUBLED the gratuity amount on the charge. Instead of a $29.44 tip as was listed on the receipt, they added a tip of $58.88. Beware! read more

Is a ok place to chill for a bit only thing that looks bad is a security in a tuxedo with a beanie on ghetto

Absolutely love their espresso martinis!! Pricey but yummy! Love going here with my friends to just chill. The staff is not very friendly a little stuck up but at least they have good martinis! Definitely recommend as a pre-game or chill night vibe. read more

I have to start about the stunning decor! From the moment you walk in, you feel like you've been transported to a glamorous lounge with their plush velvet seating, glittering chandeliers and stylish accents all around. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, though we sat in one of their gorgeous booths for our girls' night and had a fabulous time!!! The food was delicious, and cocktails were strong and very enjoyable! We ordered their signature espresso martinis which did not disappoint from the taste to the presentation. All of the dishes that we got were very yummy and another A+ for the presentation of our plates. We ordered and shared the seaweed salad, bella board, albacore ceviche, yellowtail sashimi with aguachile, ahi tuna tower and an assortment of cheese turnovers...everything was bomb, trust me get them all! For dessert we got 2 types of Mediterranean desserts- baklava and halawet el jebn...every bite was divine!!! The service was also wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. The manager checked on our table and sent my friend a complimentary ice cream dessert with candle for her birthday too! We loved the ambience and vibe at Bella Lounge. It's both classy and vibrant, and we will definitely be frequent customers. read more

My friends and I came since we've heard great things about this place. Sadly our experience wasn't the best. We ordered a couple of things, and waited over an hour to get it. Yet, the party next to us who arrived WAY AFTER we did got their order almost immediately. Additionally, they only have one waiter working the whole place. HIRE MORE PEOPLE, stop overworking your employee. read more

Avoid This Place at All Costs! I've never encountered such disgusting behavior from an "owner" in my life. I visited with friends to try out the spot, had already ordered several drinks and food, and placed one last drink order before last call, a simple margarita with mezcal. Thirty minutes later, it's 2 a.m. and we still haven't received our drink. Our server went to the bar to follow up, only to be told by the owner that he wouldn't serve us because it was past 2 a.m. Despite ordering well in advance, the owner comes to our table, not to apologize but to inform us, as a "courtesy" he was removing the unserved drink from our tab. What?! He never acknowledged his mistake, and instead began arguing, claiming he couldn't serve us after 2 a.m. because he could lose his license. When we asked him to make it right by comping a drink or offering a solution, he had the audacity to ask if we were "freeloaders." At that point, I had to step in and ask for the check, as he wouldn't stop arguing. To add insult to injury, we later saw one of his servers serve shots to other customers well past 2 a.m. It's clear the owner, who had been drinking all night, wasn't focused on providing customer service, his ego took over and he continued to argue with us. I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was so appalling I felt compelled to warn others. Save your money and go to the much better places on the block. read more

We came here for drinks on cinco de Mayo. It was our first time and we love how cute it is. The attention to detail is hard to miss. I think this place has a lot of potential however the service was less than subpar. One of the bartenders declined to service luckily not sure if he was the owner or manager he stepped in and had someone help us. They have the lemon drop which has some sort of plant in it. You chew it and it makes your mouth numb for a little bit. Very unique drink, hope to come back on another day to try the food. read more

I just stopped on Wednesday for a drink. I only came in to order a drink, I won't be back due to my experience... Now upon entering No one greeted, but they were obviously busy, thought they looked up at me the two waitresses and man at the bar making drinks. I was sat for about 30 min, the only one there before other arrived. The two female waitresses who kept acting like they didn't see me since I entered one finally came way. But just before that another group came in of latinas and the waitress went and gave them a menu before me though I was waiting way longer and arrived before them. The waiter I had She wore red lipstick and had short black hair. Idk if she did that cause I was the only black person in there at the time or because they were intimidated by my beauty (some women do get that way). Either way I'm disappointed. And in between that it took longer than normal for a waiter to get to each table. If you're not in a rush to drink+eat and go, then that's fine. Maybe hire more staff for busy days and train them on customer friendliness and inclusivity. She even charged me a few dollars less for my drink cause she knew she messed up smh. Discrimination of any sort should not be tolerated. My drink was good though I got the Marilyn Monroe, it could definitely use more alcohol though. read more

This lounge in Downey exceeded my expectations. The service was great and the drinks were amazing. We ordered three rounds of drinks and all were delicious and the service was excellent.

Came in for drinks on a Saturday night. Corner spot with an open floor plan.Intimate setting with a vintage vibe. They offer a few hand crafted cocktails with classy names. I tried a few old fashioned drinks and a couple of beers. Well presented and perfectly made. The bartenders were amazing and helpful. This is a perfect spot for drinks and small bites. We had a good time. Only bad thing was the manager Mr. B who wasn't very friendly and only greeted a handful of people.At times we felt like he was stalking us and never introduced himself. But I digress.Give them a shot if in the area. read more

Love this spot! Very classy and a chill vibe. They have great drinks and items for a small bite. It is a little more on the pricey side but I definitely think it's worth it! They have hookah now! But I believe you must sit in the patio area. Which I was even more glad about, my favorite is the tuna tar tar & the charcuterie board. The girls that work there are always so friendly and proper. It's more of a pregame spot or a cute little hang out spot here & there. read more

I expected a lot more, this bar felt more like it was trying to be something up scale. first it was empty, the booths are for bottle service.. bottle service for an empty bar? No, music, food was ok, but this bar and I call it a bar, because it just didn't have that lounge feel. it felt more like a place the owner has his buddies hangout. this place is maybe a one time place to go, when you don't want to be around people. read more
