Description: Bellevue’s upscale Neighborhood Bar with GOOD FOOD. Everything is freshly prepared. Voted best meeting spot 4 years in a row. An Eastside tradition. 520 is the place where Bellevue meets for lunch, gathers for after-work cocktails, celebrates anniversaries, birthdays and friendship! Kids are welcome too. 520 Bar & Grill wears many hats; sidewalk café and romantic moon lit dining in the summer, private gathering facility when requested, and local pub every day of the week. WE LOVE SPECIAL OCCASIONS. Regardless of the occasion or setting, we offer the finest food and highest quality beverages, all served by friendly, professional staff. Have you tried our fresh soup of the day?

This was the first time I have been to 520 for Brunch. The other 2 times I was here was for "Happy Hour" during the early afternoon. The service for brunch was excellent. The waiter could not have been better. He was there before I could ever try to summon him, to pour more water, get us more coffee, cream,... More

They have outdoor seating and on a nice day it's easier to get in because of the additional seating. I don't know that I'd take kids there (unless outside seating is available) because it is noisy and server's seem to cater more to visiting with younger patrons (not kids) so children may get bored inside. We had poor service from... More

Attractive neighborhood spot that has a nice outdoor patio. I have dined there for Brunch, lunch and happy hour. The menu selection at lunch and happy hour is ample. The quality of the food is pretty solid and priced fairly.As far as brunch goes, the menu was very limited and the quality of the food was just ok. Over all... More

It's hard to find a place with adult drinks and food that will cater to kids but 520 works hard to make everyone happy. We have two year old twins who can be busy. The hostess went out of her way to get us seated. Hard to do in a place with a bar when you have kids. She brought... More

The food is good, decent happy hour pricing and good beer and wine selection. However, I did notice that unless you're a friend of the owner or a regular regular you don't get treated as well. More

I met a girlfriend here for happy hour. It was packed! It appears there is a faithful following who meet here often. The only thing that was disappointing was the happy hour ends at 5:30. The food is very good and the atmosphere a casual hotspot. More

The 520 is beautifully decorated by the realtor owners, with a lovely indoor seating area and the best outdoor patio in Bellevue. The food is super yummy; my favorites are the lamburger and the steak sandwiches. More

Happy hour made us happy! Service was excellent thanks to Seth. House wine was good, but the fish tacos and coconut crusted shrimp were over the top. They are not on the happy hour menu but worth ordering. We sat on the street (yes, sunshine, no rain) patio, people watching while enjoying the freshly prepared food. It was a great... More

I go to this place a few times per month for their early happy hour which is weekdays 2pm-5pm. There are 6-8 items on the menu and everything I have had is tasty. The place is small, but there's a cute outside patio with additional seating. They are opening a smaller location right next door called 520 too. Looking forward... More
