Rob Harol: Good lord, why didn't Yelp tell me that this bar has the best scenic view in El Ley? The staff is easy on the eyes and hard on the liver -- just the way I like it!
Adrian Phillips: Boneless buffalo wings, fried pickles, live music, plenty of tasty burgers and a good selection of liquor. Ask to try something interesting like the Old Grove Ballast Point Gin.

Butcher · 34 tips and reviews
Justin Ordoveza: The charcuterie plate was good, the three option plate for $9 had pork rillete, chicken liver mousse, and pork jowl bacon. Every bit was delicious.
Chris Steele: Forget Eggslut and its crazy line. The breakfast burrito down the way is a standout, with or without the wrap. Grab a perfectly spicy Bloody Mary while you're at it and thank me later.
Fred Wilson: Sit at the bar, get the Belcampo Cheeseburger, an order of fries, a Coke and enjoy

Sam Licker: I tried the broccoli soup and the smoked salmon tartine paired with a spicy Bloody Mary for lunch. All exceeded my expectations! Friendly and knowledgeable staff as well! Beautiful space
Sarah Reid: The food was excellent. The restaurant was beautiful. The music was a little loud and could have been a little more chill. The staff was very warm and friendly.
Doug de Wet: The fried calamari is a great bar snack to pair with a martini or crisp wine. It's light, crisp, well seasoned, and expertly cooked till just tender, not the least bit chewy.
