Spring District, a brewery and restaurants
Bel-Red is home to a wealth of shops and businesses. "I think the focal point would be the Spring District," says Chris Tolstoy, Real estate broker at Keller Williams Eastside. "It's just a blend of industrial and commercial space that people frequent." Bellevue Brewing Company's Brewpub is adjacent to Spring District Park and there's free parking available. The brewery is open daily and features Bellevue's largest dining patio.Throughout Bel-Red, menu variety is found at restaurants like Liuyishou Hotpot, Curry Point, Ezell's Famous Chicken and Monserrate Colombian Cuisine.
