Northern Bell
Our verdict
Northern Bell is worth it when the plan is craft beer, Southern-leaning comfort food, and a casual Williamsburg hang. Order around wings, corn fritters, nachos, burgers, or fried chicken, and treat the outdoor garden as the move in warmer weather. It is walk-in friendly, casual, group-friendly, and better for a lively night than a quiet dinner.
