Stupid dress code, bad management

by flipflops114

I've been going to the Belmont for YEARS. Went there with a bunch of people the other day after a big ball game was on. It had been 80 degrees during the day and two of our guy friends were wearing shorts (nice ones, not sports shorts) ... after being there for an hour the bouncer noticed what they were wearing and told us we needed to leave. We tried to explain that we'd just bought a round of drinks and that we'd brought a bunch of customers there that night. Long story short, they wouldn't budge on their "no shorts" policy and we all went somewhere else to enjoy drinks. Lame.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Ok

by STaylor921

I just went here for the first time (so weird because I?ve driven by so many timesand didn?t know what it was) and it has a fun atmosphere and all but there are many other places around the city that are easier to get into. I guess we went there on a really busy night (was a Saturday) and the line was forever long. The bouncer was really nice but still, way too cold to wait outside. I thought that cute girls should always be let in right away?

So by the time we got in, all the tables were full and so was the bar. We got drinks but felt really uncomfortable just standing around. We decided to just stick it out for the night since we paid for valet, waited in line and already had drinks?but I would have been happy just going somewhere else I can actually sit down with my friends.

Crazy Dress Codes

by jenpochedly

I used to love the Belmont! Would send lots of people there! They now have some crazy new owners from New York that will not let in if you are wearing shorts there after 7 PM (we got there at 7:05 PM, and they turned us away). This is LA--lighten up Belmont!!!!

• Pros: Great out door patio
• Cons: Stupid dress policy
