Right on the main drag in "downtown" Belmont, Bel Rio serves upscale American comfort food along with a smattering of Southwest specialties. Additionally, it's got one of the most active musical calendars in Charlottesville, a situation that sometimes causes aural unhappiness for wannabe-sleeping neighbors.

Bel Rio was the brainchild of three Charlottesville locals, who had a vision of a wonderful place to get together with friends & family to have a fantastic dinner, then tuck the children away & enjoy live music from local bands.
