Retail and Dining Flourish in Belton’s Historic Downtown

Downtown Belton provides a grand Central Texas experience, with historical architecture dating back to the mid-19th century. The historically renovated Bell County Courthouse, constructed in 1884, is an anchor for the downtown area, standing tall with its stately Renaissance Revival architecture. Other historic buildings flank the courthouse, adding to Belton’s charm and rich history. Downtown Belton is the place to shop, dine, catch a classic flick, and enjoy a locally brewed, ice-cold beer.

Unique restaurants fill downtown, serving everything from brunch with gourmet waffles made from scratch and BBQ to authentic Italian, Mexican and Thai cuisine. You can also get a freshly brewed beer right from our own brewing company or partake in a rooftop dining experience complete with beer, wings, pizza, and sports. 

Downtown Belton offers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. Retailers include Cochran Blair & Potts, an 1869 landmark that sells merchandise ranging from dry goods and gifts to clothing and boots, antique and gift shops, a bookstore, and so much more.
