"Taking over the Revolution Wine space, The Belmont reopens as a British social club–inspired spot where wine remains a focus alongside cocktails (a mix of classics and new creations), and the food offering centers on small bites like cheese, charcuterie, deviled eggs, and Tuscan meatballs; the decor leans British-colonial with palm trees, rattan chairs, and parlor lamps—an aesthetic reportedly inspired by London private members’ clubs such as the Groucho, which one commenter noted could be accused of romanticizing British colonialism, though there has been no major outrage—and it is open at 518 E Pike Street from 5 to 10 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday and to midnight Friday and Saturday." - Tim Forster
