I was really surprised at how much this mall has changed in the years I have been out of Alabama, and it has not changed for the better. Several of the stores seemed much the same as other stores in the mall. The arcade is no longer there; dispersed throughout the wings of the mall are random games. I had heard that bigger, better stores were moving into Bel Air Mall, and I expected stores like Williams-Sonoma, J.Crew, Nordstrom, or even an Apple Store. This mall has several footwear stores. . .so one has quite a selection to choose from for shoes. But I was overall disappointed. I'll save the bulk of my shopping for when I travel back home to Denver. This just isn't the place for a wide selection of stores or needs.

The current anchors are Dillard's, JCPenney, Target and a flagship Belk. A streetscape of restaurants and specialty stores was recently developed across the entire front of the mall. Tenants on this streetscape include Texas de Brazil, Baumhower's Victory Grille and PF Chang's China Bistro. Grimaldi's Pizzeria was an inaugural restaurant here, but it folded a little less than a year after debuting. The interior mall tenant mix isn't that different than other mid scale regional centers. Bel Air features a bit more than a 100 stores throughout two main corridors. National retailers include H&M, Pandora, Express, American Eagle Outfitters, Bath and Body Works, Buckle and Aeropostale. Regional tenants include Shades and woman's wear retailer Korset. A food court hasn't been located in Bel Air since 1995. The mall does however feature eateries throughout the center. Restaurants include Mandarin Express, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Chick-Fil-A, American Deli and Cinnabon.

Absolutely the worst place to shop. Needs more armed security. And police presence. You can't shop without crap happening (fights and arguments). It's not a family friendly environment. With 2 fairly high end restaurants in there, you would think it would be ran in a safer manner. Yes it's easier to go there due to the number of stores. But it's not worth the crap you have to witness and listen to.

Way too busy to stop and right a review....however rarely have I received such prompt friendly service ANYWHERE. Not sure if she was a manager or just carried herself that way but Sharon showed me how to use the kiosk and another friendly associate helped me as well. Kinda made my day. Nice Job Bel Air P.O!

The last few times I've been here, it's been pretty pleasant experiences. It hasn't been overly crowded. There were no incidents involving fighting or other altercations, and both of these have been occurrences in the past. Several stores have moved their locations within the mall itself, and some have s*** down completely. Security is present, especially on weekends.

I wish this mall could keep and get better stores. It seems like this mall is on the rise but it could be better. It has VS, Jcpenny, Belk, Target, Dillard's. It has a chik filA and a sports bar called Baumhowers that's very good.

overall, a great family friendly environment. The new renovations have really livened the place up. I am not a fan of a few of the new stores however they have seem to draw in a more youthful and diverse crowd.

If I could give a negative score, then I would. My sons were harassed and intimidate this evemong by an armed Police Officer with a K9 and other Security Officers because of their race(black). My son and his friends were waiting for my husband and younger son to leave Lens Crafters. The Officer with the K9 felt it necessary to harrass them, ask for identification, then along with other Security officers tell them to leave because they are Black males. They were doing nothing wrong nor disturbing anyone. No young White males or females were harassed or intimidated while they shopped.

It's a mall! One of my least favorite places in the world... except for maybe my proctologist's office. Bell Air Mall has been around a long time and has had a considerable face lift over the years. There are a ton of cool and awesome businesses in there, but sometimes the crowdedness can be hard to deal with. As far as malls go Bell Air is fairly average with nothing exceptional to stand out. However, as I say that, there are some VERY cool restaurants that are attached to the mall. For that I've given an extra star.

Went on a Friday. I've got to admit the traffic flow while deep was well maintained. The mall seems to have a facelift or just a cleaner appearance from what I remember from days long gone. The mall is spacious, parking is adequate and fully security patrolled and, there is an abundance of shops offering the latest clothes, goods and wares. Multiple restaurant options both fast and sit down and a Starbucks near by make this a premium level shopping experience.

Apparently before my time in Mobile, this was a dueling ground--kidding, kinda! I've heard tell that this was not the shopping mall you wanted to visit for a while. Now, I'm thinking that the increased Mobile PD presence and the lookout tower in the middle of the parking lot has changed that. I go to The Shoppes at Bel Air, and I see a tiny mall that has their main "mall bases" covered. There's Forever 21, H&M, Victoria's Secret, Dillards, there's Target-- I'm good! New restaurants have also been added so I found myself frequenting more often once I noticed they have a PF Chang's. I didn't notice until I saw the construction for the Texas de Brazil. See how that works! Build it, make it a safe space-- they will come, and for the long time locals, it's more like "They will come BACK!"

Needed to get some SEC conference shirts for a dinner on Saturday. I happened to remember the store at Bel-Air mall that sold such items. We decided to go there after we got off. Got to the mall, and of course being Friday night the parking later was packed, we were able to find a handicapped accessible parking spot and parked in it. The last time we were there they had a pizza shop called Grimaldi's, it seems to have gone out of business and is being replaced by a Mexican restaurant. P.F. Changs is still there though. We went inside and found plenty of security and regular PD walking the mall. Found our store and did our shopping. While there we decided to.try some of the restaurants available. Ate dinner at the Mandarin Express, very good selection of items and decently priced. Then had a pretzel from Auntie Anne's, also very good. While eating we sat and people watched, neat thing to do, and noticed that between the time I grew up, the mall rat era where you were dropped off by parents and left to walk the mall for hours with friends, and now there are more families. That could be due to a change in policies, but it was nice to see parents in the mall with their kids. Then before we left we had dessert at the Cinnabon, had the 4 minis and a iced mocha coffee. They tasted great. Enjoyed our date night and seeing all the families and enjoyed all food places we chose to go. Will be back to enjoy them and have another mall date night.

This was the only mall I can find in the area that wasn't an outlet. I didn't have a hard time finding parking near Dillard's. The mall is very small and has limited selection of stores. There is a Dillard's, Belk, JC penny, and target are the major ones. Then others are hot topic, Verona, Express, bath and body... I was really hungry and there's limited selection. PF Chang's, American Deli, a sports bar, and a potato stand near Cinnabon. Oh! I can't forget there's a small conveyor belt sushi spot in the middle.

They have updated everything. This mall is so modern now. It is one of the best looking malls Alabama has to offer. The security guards are so sweet and helpful. I enjoyed every second of shopping.
