Bar Belly

Tuesday night happy hour brings $1 oysters and $6 specialty cocktails and rolls right into trivia night where you can win $100 gift certificate. The Tequila Rose was a personal favorite.

Great live music and intimate location with good food, yet limited menu. If you're lucky like my friend, your oyster will yield two pearls !

“The cocktails are unfussy and topnotch ... Depending on the evening, you can sip them to the dulcet tones of a live bossa-nova trio or the punchy arrangements of a ragtime pianist .” Read more

Food is focused on oysters . There are some snazzy bar bites such as beet tarte tatin and Maine-mussels pot pie . Plenty of quaffable cocktails including gin-based Basil Brush & rum in a Coke bottle Read more

Excellent brunch with a side of gypsy jazz on a Saturday morning. Will definitely be back for brunch again.

Cocktails are inventive, delicious and well-balanced. The Lady Winser was fresh and bright , and the Wonder Woman was vacation in a drink. Don’t skip the bites (the lamb sliders were to die for)

Despite the fact my reservation vanished into thin air the staff was great and accomodate my group of 6. Not an easy thing being its so small. Every thing we had was delicious. Can't wait to be back

Solid cocktails and a great vibe. Benedictine is a favorite. They were playing classic rock on a Saturday night. Sold. Need to come try the happy hour sometime for $1 oysters .

The Leadbelly specializes in oysters , but it’s really more of a bar . It’s a good spot for dates, but it’s most clutch on a weekend afternoon after checking out some of the art galleries up the block.

Highly recommend Bar Belly for an espresso martini , snacks , and people watching outside. They have live jazz some nights too. Honestly, can’t go wrong here.

The food was good but not as good as Fat Radish cross the street. mussel pot pie was pretty amazing (and I don't love mussels ). Spicy Pineapple cocktail was awesome! Great scene & music .

Friendly service and delicious oysters . Wish there were broader options on the happy hour but still great all around. Extra points for the beautiful bathroom !

Very cool crowd and great drinks. Go on Tuesdays for their new trivia , a mix of challenging and funny riddles. Crowd gets pretty rowdy at the end so stick around!

The Ledbetter is a fantastic drink. Sweet but interesting, unlike anything I ever had. Oysters are fabulous and the place is very cosy overall.

$1 Oysters are great! Fav cocktails here are La Lupe and Cloverfield. Was a little disappointed with the espresso martini though.

Truffle popcorn bar snacks and $1 oysters at happy hour . My fave pick for an early weekday cocktail (pay attention to specials)

$1 oyster happy hour - quality was pretty solid. Good cocktails and good vibes.

Awesome Oysters ! Tip: make a reservation through open table to ensure you have a seat, gets really packed.

Excellent cocktails and live music to kick off the weekend. Truffle popcorn , beet hummus are nice additions.

So great seeing everyone who stopped by this weekend, just want to let everyone know that we're going to be closed Mondays (at least for the time being)

What a wonderful vibe! Def recommended. Kusshi oysters are a must ????

One of the best bar in Chinatown. They do really good cocktails . Try the one with cucumber .

great intimate date spot for some wine , oysters , and live music .

Great cocktails and live music make up for slow service. P.S. They have sliders from Fat Radish when you get hungry.

They're serving a special "Leadbetter Cocktail " with vodka , pineapple juice , lemon , and tarragon for NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more

Good oysters but come early or they run out! The tartare was good if not a bit salty because of a heavy hand with the capers . The salad was the best dish by far with lots of interesting vegetables

Fantastic oysters and cocktails . Definitely try to catch the happy hour , makes a huge difference on the bill.

Incredible oysters . Beautiful atmosphere. Romantic , casual details everywhere. The whiskey ginger is tasty.

Live music Saturday night. Happy he 8:30-10:30. Try the tequila rose cocktail

I really like it here, but I get weird vibes from the waiting staff .

The happy hour is until 7pm! Specials were $1.5 oyster , $10 house special cocktail , $5 beer and wine .

Attentive bartenders :) try the Grapefruit Bitter Sweet (if you like Aperol ) or the Brazilian (mmm Leblon).

Even if oysters are a $1 they still warrant the dignity of being properly shucked. Filled with bits of shell & grime, these little guys deserve better!

I loved this place! The cocktails are amazing! Especially the Dead Witch.

went there to have drinks at 6pm a Saturday, it's pricey except for the oysters in happy hour . Cocktails were ok, nothing more and no draft beer . No particular good vibes, don't think I'll come back

Great cocktails , solid small plates , a bit lackadaisical service

Great cocktails , and a great happy hour with $1 oysters .

Great cocktail spot with live jazz most weekday nights

Oysters , cocktails , live music and a lively eclectic crowd

Great happy hour and live music on Friday. Will be back.

Drink 3 penicillins and call me later! Excellent whiskey cocktail ????????????

Live music jazz Saturday. Happy hr from 8:30-10:30, try tequila rose cocktail . Sooo good

The Cucumber Julep is very refreshing. Perfect summer drink ! ????????????

Solid drinks, but it's really about the Saturday Night Soul music w/ Flea market Funk

Sexy, good food, better music + vibes.

Small space, great date spot for some oysters and good cocktails .

Great happy hour + truffled popcorn hits the spot

Excellent beachy cocktails and earthy vibes

Amazing oysters and mojitos
