Jonas Brothers Used This NJ Restaurant For Their New Album Cover

BELLEVILLE, NJ — Jonas Brothers fans in North Jersey now have another “destination spot” to visit: the Belleville restaurant that made the cover of their new album.

The latest offering from the New Jersey natives, “Greetings From Your Hometown,” was released Friday. The album features previously released singles “Love Me to Heaven,” “Slow Motion” with Marshmello and new single, “No Time to Talk!”

The cover features a photo of the brothers having dinner and toasting at a table in a wood-paneled restaurant – artfully lit by the lamp of an overhead ceiling fan – with a wall full of framed pictures behind them.

The location? The Belmont Tavern on Bloomfield Avenue in Belleville, the restaurant revealed.

“The Jonas Brothers’ new album cover is them having dinner at the Belmont,” a social media post reads.

• “That's awesome! Congrats!”
• “So cool! They have great taste!”

Other famous album covers also have roots in Essex County. According to West Orange Township Historian Joe Fagan, a local home served as the backdrop for Aerosmith’s 1975 chart-topping album, “Toys In The Attic.”
