We love eating at Bellbird. Today the food was delicious and the service excellent. The staff really help make the experience enjoyable, including turning down the music a little. One of the reasons we like fining here is that we can comfortably chat with each other without having to worry about other noise. Look forward to being able to sit on the verandah again and also better light quality once the entrance is reopened.

About the restaurant

When a brewing legend confesses to his son that his best brews are still within him, the son decides to change that. To develop a craft brewery. Where beers crafted by expert palates and perfected over decades can be shared right now. Pilsners and pale ales. Amber ales and radlers. Friends and family. Memories and moments. That legend is Chuck Hahn. This is that brewery. Chuck and Son’s Brewing Co.
