...And welcome to the Bella Union's online newsletter.  In case you don't already know what 'Ciao' means, it's Italian for hello and goodbye!  "Ciao Bella", or "Hello (or goodbye) Beautiful" is the motto for our restaurant because every time you stop in you're greeted with a friendly welcome from our lovely staff and bid adieu as you leave. 

We at the BU strive to offer great food at a great price as well as a fun and one of a kind experience every time you come through those swinging doors.  To us, everyone is family! 

We thank you for enrolling in this quarterly update of pictures, gossip and information about upcoming events both within our walls and around the community. We hope you enjoy!

O&A Schedule

 

 Thursday Oysters Are Back!

 

That's right folks - you've been wondering what to do with those cold Thursday nights...well here's your answer! 

  

The Bella has the fun atmosphere, killer deals, and big 'ol heaters to keep you warm the whole time!  The 2011 Oyster and Ale season kicked off to a great start with the give away of the New Belgium Fat Tire Bike - what a fun time!  

  

Never been to O&A? Not sure what it's all about? Well no fear! This is our weekly 'beer and BBQ oyster' shin-dig that EVERYONE wants to be at. From 6-9pm every Thursday, Chef Tom and crew are shucking oysters on the deck for 75¢ a piece and our featured brew on tap is only $3 a pint!

 

We are now in full swing and looking forward to all the great NEW brewers we have visiting in November and December...Three Creeks, 7 Brides, 21st Amendment, -  oh my!  Be the first of your friends to discover that new "must have" brew. 

 

And don't feel like you have to wait till 6...why not come early and take advantage of our happy hour menu - cheap drinks and cheaper food.  Get a spot while you can!

If you haven't experienced a Monday Night at the Bella Union then you haven't been experiencing Monday Night Football Jacksonville style!  This is the premier place in town to sit and watch the game... and each week some lucky fan gets the "Best Seat in the House"! 

  

Whoever beats out the competition on our half-time Trivia gets to sit front and center the following week on our football couch, generously donated by Garrison's Home Furnishings.  Plus the "Arm Chair Quarterback" receives a $10 Bella Gift Certificate.  We will be raffling off the couch at the end of the season and all you have to do to get in the drawing is to show up! 

While you're here everyone is a winner with our MNF menu.  Pulled Pork Sliders, Fries, Pizza Slice and $3.00 New Belgium Beers!  The prices and the fun can't be beat!
