Holmdel's Bell Works Unveils New Rooftop Lounge ‘Bar Bella’

HOLMDEL, NJ - Just in time for summer, Holmdel is welcoming its newest outdoor bar and lounge in town. Bar Bella, located at Bell Works, opened this month with an array of boozy offerings.

Designed by Bell Works’ Creative Director Paola Zamudio and her NPZ Style + Decor team, Bar Bella touts cozy seating options, atmospheric greenery and fire pits for chillier evenings. Visitors can place orders from a variety of eateries on The Block, Bell Works’ ground-floor pedestrian street.

“Bar Bella is a destination to enjoy summery drinks, vibey tunes and a beautiful atmosphere. We have curated a unique experience for the Bell Works community and beyond: a taste of paradise right in the heart of Holmdel,” said Zamudio. “Whether you are in the mood for a refreshing spritz or a cold craft beer, Bar Bella has what you need to enjoy an evening al fresco, surrounded by nature and within the architectural masterpiece that is Bell Works. Come see it for yourself— salut!”

Bar Bella opened its doors on May 13 with a grand opening party on the outdoor roof deck. The bar will be open Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Thursdays through Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Bell Works has partnered with Axelrod Performing Arts Center to offer live performances at Bar Bella throughout the summer, featuring artists such as Remember Jones, The Weeklings and The Doo Wop Project. Click here for the full performance calendar.
