I love the wings at Bella's. They're always a good go-to. The atmosphere is lively, it's a fun spot to grab snacks or watch the game. Bella's is definitely another Chico staple and a great spot for nightlife whether you're pregaming or looking for somewhere to keep the evening going. read more

So, Bella's has one of the best Happy Hours, IMO. I love me a cold brew off the tap (Sierra Nevada) along with their loaded tots. The serving is so HUGE and they are spiced to the max with a great mix of cheese (lots of it!), bell peppers, onions, and hamburger (I think), whatever the meat is... ITS DELISH!! I go there when I want great bang for my buck, def a super good deal. It hasn't been very busy when I've been there which is great because that means I'll get my order quickly ;) I mean, at happy hour I'm going for the deal not the people so... it works for me! read more

Bella's is one of those Chico places that just feels like Chico. It's been a downtown staple for years, and even though I don't make it in nearly as often as I used to, every time I go back it feels pretty much exactly how I remember it, in a good way. The wings are the obvious move here. Bella's has built a reputation around them for a reason. They're big, messy, loaded with flavor, and absolutely not something you order when you're trying to look civilized. If you leave with completely clean hands, I'm not sure you actually ate wings. The rest of the food holds its own too, but coming to Bella's and not at least considering the wings feels slightly disrespectful. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a downtown sports pub. TVs everywhere, games on, people talking over each other, drinks moving around, and enough noise to make the place feel alive without completely losing the ability to have a conversation. On a big game day, it's even better. Service has always been friendly and laid-back in my experience, even when they're slammed. There's nothing overly polished about Bella's, and honestly, I wouldn't want there to be. That's part of the charm. I don't go out in downtown Chico nearly as much as I used to, but Bella's is still one of those places I'm always happy to end up at. Good wings, cold drinks, sports on every screen, and that familiar downtown Chico energy. Some places don't need to reinvent themselves. They just need to keep doing what made people like them in the first place. Bella's is one of those places. read more

Jess was great when I came in here on the hottest day of 2026. Great drinks, great game viewing on the TVs and it was a great place to unwind after work read more

Birria is blowing up like Woke Culture... only Birria is gonna survive because it's based on amazing ingredients and flavors, not some overly sensitive person's feelings Try the "Birria-dilla" at Bella's, and if "Tree" is in the kitchen, ask for extra jalapenos and another side of dipping sauce. GAME ON! read more

Bella's wings are top notch. 10/10. Best wings in Chico. You can't go wrong with the Sundevil wings. The Tiger was a bit too sweet for me but omg the sundevil are on a whole new level. Also can't beat the $4 rocket fuel on happy hour ;P read more

All the wings came burnt. Ordered through Doordash. Spent $60 and had to throw every single wing away. I don't know who is working the kitchens but this is pathetic. read more

Post cv19, still great wings. Crispyness when dining in. Price is initially off-putting at 20$ for 10 wings but they are huge. Nice guys working the bar. Seemed like lots of drink specials. Lots of TV's and lots of space. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for a drink, the server was friendly and the "soccer mom" shooter was really good, the shooter was in a plastic shootercup but a good size pour. The restaurant is clean and has tons of TVs would be perfect to watch the game. read more

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. After years of bragging about Bella's, I reduced my original 5 star review to 3 stars, now its going down to 2 stars. Following issues: -Wing prices have increased even higher, 8 wings for $24. Prices of wings have gone up in CA, but not in a way to justify this ridiculous increase. -No longer serving pitchers of beer. -Lights are way too bright, feels like a subway not a comfortable bar. Hopefully this bar can get back to their roots. -Clint read more

Want great bar food you go to a great bar! "The best wings in town." I was told and they have wing night specials. Tip: Call ahead The special last until they run out of wings ( probably 15 min after the 1st order) I didn't see my go-to lemon pepper as one of the sauce options but they had a citrus influenced sauce you should try. read more

Stopped in here 3 weeks ago with some friends to have a couple drinks and grab a quick bite to eat. I want to try more of the menu before truly giving this a rating but I decided to go ahead with my review. I have never been here before so I can't comment on the previous things or new changes I guess that took place but I ordered up half a dozen wings, Nachos & a few Corndogs for the table. First things first; The nacho cheese was SPICY. I think anyone who has ordered them would have to agree. Yes, it was notated in the description but I didn't really like them this spicy to be honest. I never find myself complaining about the cheese on my chips but give them a try and find out! It was a bit much in my opinion. The Corn dogs? Were just that. I always think they are going to be good when I go somewhere and they are labeled as hand dipped or something fancy but the freezer boxed ones would have tasted just the same. I'm not sure why smacking an $8 price tag for a hotdog makes you think it will be worth it but I wasn't too excited about that dish either. Now, last but not least, the wings! They are $2/ea for one wing, which any higher and I would probably say this is overly inflated. The good thing is I would say they meet the expectation of paying more for a larger portion. They are MEATY, smothered in an incredible sauce and very filling. I don't want to get ahead of myself but out of any wings around these are the biggest and tastiest i've had. $12 for six wings but I would have to say they were worth it. Overall, the presentation of the food was wonderful. It was plated nicely and served to us in a timely fashion. But sometimes presentation isn't everything because the Corndogs were bland and the spice on the Nachos drowned out any other flavor. I think I'll come for wing night. Thank you guys! I'm stuck in the middle of 3/5 or 4/5. read more

Great experience at Bella's on an interesting night in Chico....so this was our last night visiting, we had tried a few places downtown all weekend and were confident we could find a nice quiet dinner spot walking distance from the vrbo house. However, we didn't know that it was Downtown Chico's "Christmas Preview" event that Sunday night----there were hundreds of people on the street and all the restaurants had lines out the door (so glad we walked! parking would have been tough). Just as we gave up on finding anywhere to eat within a reasonable amount of time we saw Bella's!! It looked warm and inviting inside-a regular sports bar and grill so we gave it a try and I'm so glad we did. Our bartender was a gem! She checked on us often and got our drinks and food out fast. Great craft beer selection and huge tvs all around. We enjoyed some of the SNF game. Seemed like a lot of regulars come here, anytime someone came in they were greeted by other people there or by the bartenders. Ben had chicken tenders and fries-good! and I had the loaded tots-very very good! Just the right amount of cheesey and spicy and lots of crispy tater tots. I would love to go back to Bella's next time I'm in Chico. read more

Great food! Great service! The cola braised pulled pork sandwich was so good and the Thai Shrimp salad was so fresh... but maybe cut back on the spice a bit. For a spicy food lover, it was a bit much. I would like to try other items from the menu but they only have a limited selection right now. Will be back!!! read more

Football Sundays are the best at Bellas. Great food, wonderful drinks. Pat is the best!

New location with outside patio! Music you can purchase ! The vibe is always fun . Younger crowd but still worth checking out

First time here , came doing happy hour , the prices was great , it was great service from Fay the bartender I order chicken and fries . I think the restaurant is know for the Bella wings which I must say was great ! Cool crowed ! Lots of tvs for sports ! The drinks and food prices are really cheap ! I gotta say next time I'm Chico I will swing around again to this place ! read more

Best bar in town! Love the atmosphere and the staff is so amazing! If you haven't had their corndogs I definitely recommend you try them and wash it down with delicious soccer mom! read more

My friends and I just left from here because my friend was assaulted by a man who had his girlfriend in a chokehold. They were against her, making her chair fall out from her, and she hit her head on the bar. These same people were also spitting racist profanity before this happened. We told the bartenders and busman and they said that they would talk to them. We find out the busman was friends with these people so nothing happened to them. At any other bar these people would've gotten kicked out, please do better. read more

Dive Bar sure, good for a quick beer and some tots sure. Decent music played and they will put the game on the tv if you ask. Bartender is really good and has a great personality. read more

I gave this 5 stars bc the waitress and bartender are doing their jobs exceptionally! The service is horrible. But, what can you expect w a waitress that constantly has to run to the door and check temps and the bartender constantly interrupted to tell guests to go back to the door to wait to get their temperature checked. Wouldn't a simple employee by the door solve this? He or she could also do the side work/upkeep of the menus and such while checking temps and seating folks. I like the new Bella's. I never plan to get served tonight bc the employees can't do their jobs! I wonder who the mastermind behind this is....perhaps they are quarantined???? read more

Taryn (I think that's how you spell it) was our waitress and she was phenomenal. I love supporting small business in my local school town but Taryn went above and beyond for us. I appreciate her service and will definitely be back because of the service. With over 20+ people waited across 2+ tables, she was calm and collected and served us as if we were a table of 4. I truly enjoyed the service at the new Bella's and will be back soon. Thanks again Taryn, And Bella's. Best, Noah read more

Went there with my crew for beer and dinner after work. Everyone was carded and produced a valid legal driver's license. One of my co-workers is a naturalized US citizen and his driver's license was different from the 2 others. The server took 20 minutes to decide if she would accept this "VALID" license - she demanded that he sign her order book to compare the signatures! She was rude and we all felt her and the other staff were ignorant regarding immigrant state issued drivers' licenses. We left after the beer and will never return to this dump - Get it together!, your service sucks and it took you 15 minutes to get around to us to even order the beer and there was not many people there to begin with. LEARN what a valid drivers license looks like - it is part of your job to know! read more

small. real small. You can hear every conversation in the bar. The sound wasn't even on for the game we were watching. They have water next to the bar that is serve yourself, a plus. Bar stools are torn up, and the place smells like a college dorm room. Possibly due to it's location to Chico State. Parking isn't the greatest, but you can find a public lot and walk a ways to get there. read more

Inferno challenge all day all night except Wednesday. Worth $15 anytime. AMAZING TASTE HAVE TO UPDATE MY REVIEW. Sorry guys but until you get a better bartender with less attitude and actually post my picture to the wall for completing my inferno challenge I will not be coming back. I was told "You couldn't have done the challenge because everyone who has completed it is on the wall." My response, so I have the shirt and all pictures and videos from my friends encouraging me but you don't believe me.?????? add my picture please. I will even print off a copy of one of my own for it read more

Bella's is awesome, one of the best bars in Chico! The 2 bartenders on Friday night are babes and they are always really excited to see you. $1 dollar PBRs on Friday and if you catch the owner when he is there is will probably be wasted. the only bad part about Bella's is that its a Giants bar so there are always many giants bros during games. read more

I like bella's, the specials are good they have dank wings and the vibe is cool. I liked it better before they put in those new benches around the side, the foot rests are a fucking joke theres no way a normally proportioned human can comfortably rest their feet on that shit. all the staff is super friendly and laid back, i was kinda bummed when they got rid of the potato skins. I'm a big potato skins guy. its probably a lot cooler if your into the giants or soccer or both, its kind of a giants bro-hug-double-back-tap-when-aubrey-huff-hits-a-sac-fly bar. im not really into that shit. but other than that theres usually cheap pitchersand greasy ass bar food and they'll always come to ur table and take ur order and bring you your drinks and shit. id give it 4 stars if they brought back the potato skins and moved the base boards out like 5 inches. read more

Fun rowdy environment to catch a game with fellow spectators, grab a beer, and grub down! Great owners, great staff, great vibes! Love the new location! Can't wait to see what changes come along with it! BOMB wings! Great burgers! Cheap drinks! Can't go wrong! read more

If i am in the mood for taco's ...i go to bellas! Seriously! I wish thier music didn't take up the entire bar, however, sometime i just want to go eat my food drink my beer and watch a game WITHOUT MUSIC. Either leave the music or turn on the TV. It's a SPORTS bar for crying out loud!!! Either way, grab the tacos! read more

Great little bar to go to and watch a game. They have HD tv's everywhere so no matter where you are sitting you can watch the game. The bartender and bar backs are awesome and usually bring your drinks out to you. They have a wing challege that I have heard is pretty spicy. If you beat it you get a shirt or something like that. They could use some more seating but if you show up a couple minutes early you can usually catch a spot. It is pretty low key compared to some of the other bars in Chico which is usually a good thing for me. read more

Really takes the joy out of anything when you walk into a bar that used to be cool and they take your temp when you walk in, make you use hand sanitizer before sitting, have mask reminders all over the damn place and then sit you at a table with hand prints all over it. I'm not afraid of the 'rona. I'm just saying, stop being so crazy and treating every customer like a heath risk when you don't even clean the restaurant. I miss Bella's when they were a dive vs a hub of paranoia. You guys win first place in obeying propaganda read more

Solid sports bar. Also good for when you're looking for some decently priced pints. Staff is pretty laid back, they're cool enough and, as Chris A. said, they'll get wasted with you. Just like any other bar, it gets pretty packed on busy nights, but they're recent remodel has helped a lot. I don't really like that it's a "giants bro-hug-double-back-tap-when-aubrey-huff-hits-a-sac-fly bar". When I'm trying to watch a baseball game I don't wanna hear a bunch of World Series-less Giants fans in Chico of all places tell ME about baseball. Just like John L., "I'm not really into that shit." But that's not really Bella's fault (I think). They have a chill atmosphere, cheap drinks and bomb buffalo wings, what the f*ck else could you ask for?? read more

Bella's is "famous" for it's wings, and lemme say....it's for a good reason. Hands down best wings I've ever had....ever,ever, everrr. 12 wings for $12? And the best I've ever had? Yes, yes, yes. I find this to be one of the best bars in downtown Chico to just order a good beer and hang out with your friends and watch a game or whatever else may be on the tv's. The bartenders are all super nice and will often hook you up. The last time I was in there they kept the kitchen open for us which was super nice. As far as I know I have never seen anyone disappointed with their food choice. I had a free Soccer Mom shot on my birthday, and it was the last thing I remember. Realllllly good stuff. Definitely a place I'll keep in my downtown bar rotation :) read more

9 times out of 10, Bella's is the opposite of what I look for in a bar. The food is run-of-the-mill pub grub and the beer selection is pedestrian. Really, the last would be a serious problem if it weren't for the fact that this is Chico and every bar in Chico is required by local ordinance to have at least three varieties of Sierra Nevada on tap. It's not even a great sports bar. Small, and the televisions are all sort of crowded around the place so it's a tossup whether you'll be able to hear the game that you want to watch. That 10th time, though... A few weeks ago, I went to the Kezar Pub in San Francisco, supposedly a local mecca for football (soccer) fans, and found all of one other person quietly watching the Man Utd/Birmingham game. Today, in a city that's a one-tenth the size of SF and a metro area about one-seventieth, Bella's had four people there waiting for the United/City League Cup game, and three of them were wearing United kits. Also unlike that poor bloke at Kezar, these four got loud when the situation called for it, and when Wayne Rooney headed in the deciding goal in stoppage time, the five of us were louder than the other 20-30 people in the bar combined. As it should be. Now yes, their only British beer was canned Boddington's, or as I like to call it "that stupid yellow can of foam with some vaguely beer-like flavoring," but anything Sierra Nevada makes will do in a pinch, the fish and chips were adequate, and the waitress brought malt vinegar BEFORE she brought anything that said "Heinz" on the label. Speaking of the waitress, she was absolutely wonderful throughout the 2+ hours I was there, even when it was getting crowded later on. I'm only basing this off of one visit, so I can't say for certain whether this is the standard level of service, but bloody good job to whatever the blonde's name was. Who would have guessed it? A great place to go and watch footy in freakin' Chico. read more

Chico is a fun place to visit but this little pub... The wings alone are worth the drive from Sacramento! What? Do I need to say more than that? Reread the second sentence because it says everything you need to know about small and affordable place where cold drinks and delicious food is served! "...worth the drive from Sacramento!" read more

What a great place for wing Wednesday! While you may see the wing menu and think "only three...?" Trust me, three is all you need. Delicious and very filling their wings will leave you satisfied. The service is on par and the ambiance is kinda fratty. But overall a great little place to grab a beer and some wings! read more
