Master Critic Review

The Bronx Beer Hall 7.9
Belmont
The Bronx Beer Hall sits inside the Arthur Avenue Retail Market, pouring local brews alongside burgers, sausages, and bar snacks, with a dog-friendly outdoor area when the weather cooperates. It’s a relaxed spot to grab a pint and a casual bite while your dog hangs beside the picnic tables.
