The 49 best places to go out in Belfast

Was here with a group of friends on a Sunday night. The place was great. Atmosphere was brilliant and the service was quick and hassle free. “Anna’s number” were playing and were genuinely some of the best live entertainment I’ve seen in a bar in a while. From the mix of music, crowd interaction and a saxaphone of all things. Overall the aesthetic of the whole place is pretty neat and I will happily come back again.

A lovely location for a night out. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and was full when we were there so it is necessary to make a booking well in advance. The food was very filling and enjoyable, and it was reasonably priced (Most mains cost between £10-£15). Would definitely recommend!

Food was absolutely wonderful. We had the rotisserie chicken meal for 2. It's a good deal and comes with two drinks and some side dishes making it a good value. It would be 5 stars but our server cleared our plates and seemingly ignored us afterwards. We had to go and ask for the bill. Great spot, good food and awesome atmosphere.

I made a reservation two weeks ago. The restaurant is upstairs of the Bar of Dirty Onion. I waited to be seated but the staff didnt seemed bothered to ask. First we got a table where its impossible to sit if someone eats at the bar of the restaurant. The staff ignores you and seemed like to have Gen Z behavior. Even the chefs in the kitchen looked unmotivated. Just one blonde lady was friendly. Food was fine. Restaurant itself too loud with inside music and outside. Rotisserie Chicken looked too charcoaled. Price for two persons fine. But we wouldn't come again. Dissapointing.

Cozy place. Nice music and atmosphere. Chicken and salad were yummie. Got an upgrade to a half chicken thigh, a quarter is too little even for me. Staff is quick, reactive and friendly.

Located on the second floor. The grilled chicken was tender and juicy. The dips were tasty. The ribs were soft. Overall, it was a good experience.

Had dinner at the Yardbird which is located on the 2nd floor and the food was delicious. We got the loaded fries with rotisserie chicken, cheese and gravy and a large serving of the sweet bqq chicken wings - YUM. After dinner we had a few drinks in the dirty onion and this has a great atmosphere!

Great venue for gigs and concerts. The bar can get really busy but the staff manage it well. The atmosphere is incredible because it's just the right size for intimate gigs.

This was a great venue for clubbing where the staff at the door were ready to allow missing places of non attendees to be bought at the door, allowing for my entry to join a friend! Atmosphere is electric and the red/pink colours add to the vibe, plenty of seating for any chill time too. Cheap deals are available on drinks during Thursdays when I went for Magners and Corona is priced decently on Fridays, service takes very long sometimes when the staff had to be prompted by people to notice I was even there and the music is fun but a few songs are a bit cheesy.

Limelight Belfast had a surprisingly quiet Friday—no queues and plenty of space. Music and drinks were still good, but it lacked the usual lively atmosphere. Better for a chill night than a full-on party.

Great venue for live music. Not too big and you can always get close to the stage. Drinks are way too expensive though. Staff are excellent, friendly and make sure it is a safe, enjoyable environment for all.

At the recent "wrong jovi" gig, great venue, atmosphere, highly recommend

Great bar for a live gig

Disgraceful. Me and my Dad went to the limelight last night for the stone roses tribute band gig before walking round to the limelight we had 2 pints of beer in pug uglys. When we got to the door we were ready to get our tickets out on our phone and they denied us entry because we had had too much to drink. Then told us to “go for a walk and get a coffee” which is disgraceful seeing we paid £45 PER TICKET night ruined and more importantly a memory thanks to power tripping bouncers who think they are someone. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY FOLKS. Also one of my friends went to the limelight a couple weeks ago now and they denied him entry because he was also Too drunk… my friend had nothing to drink that night as he was on antibiotics. He was left to wait for a taxi outside in the cold whilst watching all his mates go in. Complete Scum

Two stops during our recent stay in Belfast. Luckily we were able to sit outside and then at an inside table. Busy and crowded but the service staff never seemed harried and were friendly and helpful. Tourists and locals all seemed to be having a great time.

Finally, after many trips to Belfast, we made it to the Duke of York. The interior and exterior decor and vintage collectibles are worth the visit alone. It was quiet when we were there mid afternoon on a week day but we know it is usually crazy busy. We each had a Guinness (as part of a mini pub crawl). Well poured, creamy, perfect temperature. We’ve had one or two better elsewhere in the city but they were better marginally. These are great pints. Friendly staff. Would recommend and will go again.

This place is full of great lively pub atmosphere. You are lucky to find a seat as the night goes on and the live music starts. Didn’t get food but had a pint and listened to the music. Had fun just looking at the walls here!

Really interesting pub with literally hundreds of mirrors and pub memorabilia on the walls. A bit of a tourist trap and very busy but staff were friendly and efficient. Worth a visit.

Amazing pub with such incredible decorations, a vibrant atmosphere and lovely and very efficient staff! Lovely outdoor area with lots of benches which you can bring drinks out to and enjoy all the street art and decoration! Definitely my favourite pub I’ve been to on my visit here, would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Belfast!

This was the second Irish bar we’ve tried — completely different from the first one, but still felt so authentically Irish 😁 They serve a wide variety of beers and were surprisingly packed even on a Monday afternoon

A very busy pub in the most vibrant part of Belfast. Memorabilia covers the walls and ceilings creating an eclectic atmosphere. As you enter the pub it feels very crowded but there is also a large back room with more space. Live music creates a fun atmosphere, but a little too cramped for my liking.

I wouldn't recommend it specifically for jazz but the service was impeccable, food and cocktails delicious! Music was fine but nothing special as artists seemed quite bored or tired.

We visited Bert's Jazz Bar, by chance, a few years ago and loved it. We got a chance you visit again a few days ago and it was class. Booked a table for a meal, great seats, right beside the musicians and they were excellent. A really nice venue with a brilliant atmosphere.

Absolutely adored this night time haven, a must for live music and jazz standards. Such a treat, wonderful to relax, enjoy great food or have a drink in this authentic jazz bar. All this in a welcoming place with exceptional service while you soak up the outstanding musicans who deliver beautiful live music ranging from jazz classics to latin jazz.

Bert’s Jazz Bar is perfect for a date night or special occasion! Amazing atmosphere, great music, and excellent service. Food and drinks 10/10 🔥

Lovely Jazz bar, very relaxed vibe. Cocktails were lovely, the mixologist definitely knew what they were doing. Could of sat there all night listening to the music and having a few ( or many ) Cocktails. Had desserts, which were lovely. Would definitely return when in Belfast again.

I would give six stars if I could. Straight off the plane, I stumbled across this gem of a jazz bar. Food was fantastic, good live jazz and service is impeccable. Kudos to Sé for looking after me this evening.

Does a really good chateaubriand and that's what I was there for (wife was there for the cocktails) No complaints simple quality food. Is pricey but it was expected. Cocktails top quality but also pricey. Service great and atmosphere really chill, lovely place to go to ease yourself into an evening of craic

A very beautiful and popular historic pub. I especially liked the private snug room, which we had to book in advance for an extra £10 — but it was absolutely worth it. It’s a great feeling to be in a lively pub yet still have your own quiet, private space. The food and drinks were very good. However, the service was not great — probably because there were too many guests and not enough staff that day.

World class pub! Outstanding food, drinks, and service. All the staff is really friendly and helpful. The pub also has snugs- if you’re lucky enough to grab one, do it! I was in Belfast only a couple days but The Crown Liquor Saloon became my pub. Plus their food is outstanding! The steak pie, the tart, and the bangers & champ were all delicious. There’s a dining room upstairs if you can’t get a spot downstairs.

Stunning bar for a unique drink or a memorable evening. Good beer, wide selection of drinks cocktail specials were particularly good on the evening we went. The real attraction is the venue: a historic boozer, with largely original interiors and stunning tiling and ornate ceilings. The main bar area is flanked by boothed seating complete with doors and windows - apparently this was for sultry business transactions to be agreed away from prying eyes in more reserved times! We went for a drink, stayed for a few. Atmosphere is great, was busy but not overbearingly so.

Exactly what you would expect of an Irish pub/bar/saloon. Plenty of activity, can be loud and crowded but the atmosphere is perfect. The dining area is upstairs. Much more quiet and well decorated. There is a limited menu but they have very good selections. Staff is polite and helpful. Food was good.

Wow this is quite a place, I think to get the full experience you need to secure a booth and order on the App, so they bring things to you, as you sit in the private booth. Really enjoyed this pub experience and had some local food "champ" (a type of mashed potatoe) and a well made cocktail. Amazing decor. I hope they keep this place how it is.

Really unique pub, you can definitely feel the history of the place when you enter. Great service and we enjoyed sitting in one of the snugs! We only got drinks but the food looked and smelled great. Will be recommending this place to everyone who visits Belfast!

A beautifully-preserved pub and my favourite in Belfast. Owned by the National Trust with all of its original features intact, including gas lighting! The booths, with their high screens and doors, create a nostalgic atmosphere. All of the staff were friendly and efficient. A great place to spend an evening with friends.

I love this place. It's a home away from home when I'm in Belfast. But it would be nice on a quite Monday night, if the staff gave a 'last orders' shout, so I could have ordered one last drink before leaving. Especially as it was officially still open for another hour. We were the only ones in, so a quiet 'we're closing if you want to order one last drink' would have been appreciated. Especially, as I was planning on having one of their great Dark and Stormy's for my last drink! 😁 Still my favourite bar in Belfast, though 👍

The lady who served my Guinness didn't let it sit, and then wipe the head off with it with a knife.... Gf accepted it. Good service, Clean, Music, it's a nice pub.

Do not expect to get a glass of Spanish red vermouth at The Spaniard. They will however, make you up a fine Dark & Stormy. The Spaniard is not a pub. It is a bar. They call themselves a rum bar. It's not fancy. It's actually quite perfect. We sat at the bar. We chatted with the two bartenders who were amiable and chill. It just has a nice laid back vibe. It's not too bright. The music is just right. If you have had enough of the pubs in Belfast pay a visit to The Spaniard.

A small but lively pub in the Cathedral quarter of Belfast. Had an absolutely fantastic pint of Guinness in here. 10/10 with great service. Venue let down by dirty toilets which put us off so much we left after one drink. Sort that out and you’re onto a winner!

The Spanaird is a Belfast institution it's been part of the Belfast city centre nightlife for 20yrs or more, which in pub years is a long time. Many bars have come and gone in that time. It's small cosy and eclectic. The rum list is vast and you'll definitely find one you like. It's always a varied if slight older crowd and a welcome change to the bigger busier bars in the area. You're guaranteed to get chatting to a local Belfast character if you stay long enough.

The Comedy night with James have been amazing fun. James Downey is a great host and fun comedian. I enjoyed the evening ( Craig the ging) even i didnt understand all the jokes. Staff at the bar was friendly and drinks avordable.

I'vee been drinking in the Spaniard for years, mainly at weekends, my favourite bar in Belfast, great music and atmosphere . In the last few months, the Guinness has been way below par with staff struggling to pour a decent pint, emptying and scraping tops to give to customers. The staff turnover is amazing for some reason. Hopefully, my Guinness complaint is sorted pronto.

Thompsons Garage is hands down one of the best nightlife spots in Belfast. The energy is electric, the crowd is always buzzing, and the music never disappoints—from top local DJs to international acts that keep the dancefloor alive all night. The venue itself has a cool, underground vibe with a stylish layout and great sound system, and the staff are friendly and efficient even on busy nights. Whether you're into house, hip-hop, or a bit of everything, Thompsons always delivers an unforgettable night out.

Jacket was stolen from here, and when it was mentioned to the security staff they herded me out rather than attempting to remedy the situation. I’d suggest avoiding this place. Full stop.

It's most hated club yet popular among young kids but staff is super arrogant & cocky. They think they are doing favour by serving drinks for you. Toilets stink when entering the place. The backyard is the only best part of the spot to enjoy drink or 2 otherwise city offers a lot better options than this..Avoid 9/10

So we were trying to spend our only night at this club by reference from the hotel staff we’re staying with. When we tried to enter the cocky and arrogant bouncer said do you have tickets. I did not have tickets but I bought tickets there and then. The cocky arrogant bald bouncer said you guys are denied entry!! I wouldn’t believe this that he said you shouldn’t have bought tickets. Belfast didn’t really paint a very progressive picture there! We were dressed suits and beyond this apparent high obnoxious bouncer! Painted a very bad image of Belfast night scene. Best described ‘Racist’ from my point. (FYI I do not drink!) definitely not recommended and never coming to Belfast ever again for night life- joke!!!! Dublin is so much better (progressive)!

I entered on Saturday by paying a 10 pound enterence fee. Lady in the door didnt even say welcome to me. When I tried to ask the enterence fee or 10 pm thing she just said pay 10 pounds. At least I entered without a problem. İnside the club there isnt any manager looking around or I didnt see them. Even ıf I just tried to chill and relax a person filmed me for a couple of seconds when I was dancing. Some people said absurd or meaningless things to me or they just stare me for nothing. To be honest I also drink a lot and lose my control sometimes however I didnt make anyone feel uncomfortable. İf I did anything wrong thats my bad. Maybe all nightclubs are like this. Most of the people want to make new friends and try to relax by drinking and dancing. I know its hard to deal with a lot of person and a queque in front of the bar with the loud music however I just wanted a greeting or at least smiling personal. Smile and good attitude stays in mind. Good things are music was always playing. DJ was doing his job. However they can play better musics. You can get fresh air in the backyard. Backyard decoration was good. If you go to Thompsons and dont lose your control with excessive drinking or unlawfull materials you can have a quite fun time.

Accidentally lost a phone in here, been trying since Friday to get a hold of management as the phones location is inside thompsons- no answer, after multiple phone calls (before 9pm but after 8, as staff are prepping at this time supposedly) but it just rings and rings. Countless emails, Facebook messages (which were read but still not replied to) a contact form via the website and still no communication from them. Let's also not forget a friend trying to go into thompsons to have a looom around for the phone, to which the door staff refused her entry unless she was a paying customer. Absolute nightmare to get your own property back. The owner of the phone is distraught as it has photos of her child, videos of first steps, important documents, access to child's school apps and so on. Yet thompsons are happy to keep posting and promoting their events while leaving the distraught mother on read, when all we ask of them is to check down the backs of chairs/ or allow us to come in and search ourselves. Just a bloody pain to be honest, decent place but you don't want to lose anything in there because good luck getting it back

Whenever I go there, I am never disappointed. If you want to dance like no one is watching, that is the place.

Nice rooftop bar but the worst toilets I’ve ever seen, it looks like they haven’t been cleaned in weeks. There are glasses covered in mould and mess all over the floor. We told the bar staff multiple times but they didn’t do anything in the time we were there.

Very poor experience here and would not recommend. A group of 24 of us went here for a Hen party and we had booked it well in advance. When we arrived the place was empty with only two staff working. We had to wait over 45 mins for a drink and over an hour for food and we were the only customers in the place. The tables weren’t prepared, we weren’t provided with cutlery and had to ask numerous times. Most ppl started eating with their hands because it took so long for cutlery. We were provided with wooden disposable cutlery when it eventually arrived from somewhere. The food was lukewarm and inedible. No toilet paper too in any of the female stalls.

Went here for the first time last night, what can I say…. Shocking service, there was no system for taking orders at the bar meaning others were being served ahead. After 25 minutes at the bar waiting I finally got my mojito. Best way to describe it was a lime cordial with a bit of chopped up mint in it. Not worth the wait and not worth the price. Won’t be back.

From the beginning this experience was average. We arrived, got our table and to be fair to the waitress (never got her name) the woman from Scotland. She looked after us fairly well, let us substitute the small selection of drinks and take Guinness. We had ordered 2 fish and 4 meats. Food came 15 minutes before the bottomless brunch ended. Meal seemed okay, we ate anyway. About 15 minutes after one of our group had started to feel sick, attempted to be sick nothing came up. When back at the table same feeling again! Finally managed to vomit and after vomited proceeded to say they could not stand nor see! Managed to make it back to the hotel and for the next hour proceeded to vomit the lining of their stomach out. Not able to sit stand or move party was immobile and very sick. I then rang the establishment and they accused us of Leaving our drinks! When at this place there was always at least 2 people at the table. I suggested it may have been a staff member or some sort of food poisoning and staff member on the phone told me food poisoning would not have taken affect yet and they are not held responsible! Overall this experience was very very shocking. Staff were nothing to complain about, I appreciate there help. Apart from the male that answered the mobile. Atmosphere was great. Food and drink - if I could give a minus I would! This is a disgrace! A member of our party was bed bound for the rest of the night due to this and the employment had the audacity to accuse us of leaving drinks unattended! Will not be back to this establishment, I do not recommend anyone else to attend!

Nice bar area, lovely staff, atmosphere was nice, food was class. I just can't give 5 stars because of the dirty outside area. The tables were covered in bird droppings and the seat covers could do with a wipe.

Wouldn't visit here again. We requested our drinks from the cocktail menu. The person who was serving us then proceeded to walk around the bar several times but not actually doing anything. Eventually, almost 15/20 minutes later, after one failed attempt, our drinks were served. A sorry for your wait was given. We located a table and took a sip of the drink. Straight away it was obvious it wasn't what we'd ordered. We approached a person behind the bar, potentially the supervisor/manager, who said he'd deal with it but was busy right now. 10 minutes later he came back with the correct drinks. He did apologise. It's a shame because the place is quite nice with the roof terrace. It would have been a one star review had the drinks not been sorted and the experience was enough to mean we'd not visit again.

First look online this place looks brillaint. The decor is beautiful and matches the photos online although when I was told via the website I had to book a table online I would be given my deposit money back (which I was not) It claimed at the end you would receive your money back off my bill so I was assuming it was a bar tab situation considering I had to set down the deposit. When we arrived no one was there to actually seat us we had to attend to the bar and ask after waiting a long while behind people at the bar and waiting at the “check in desk”. It was bar service and not a tab which personally confused me considering how my deposit was holding a “table” on the rooftop I never received, we had to wait indoors until a table was free outside and find it ourselves. The drinks were lovely made perfectly although outside the music from indoors was overpowering it was genuinely hard to hold a conversation with my peer after near enough every sentence we were asking each other what we said as it was too loud to hear each other. It’s nice you can smoke out on the rooftop and drink which in many places now it’s not aloud so it is great that you can although i wouldn’t return due to deposit not being returned for a table we didn’t receive and not being able to hear each other.

The food was absolutely gorgeous we got chicken strips each strip was like a chicken fillet on its own didn't want long and staff were so lovely and helpful they made us feel welcome and comfortable and the show was amazing so funny at such a good price to we will definitely be back and I highly recommend to everyone u Must go

Had a great time last night for our society pool night event. Lavery's has always been one of the best bars in my opinion for a chill and social atmosphere when doing events. The pool tables are nice and there were enough for more than 40 people. Booked it online and that was pretty easy to do. The service by the staffs were amazing to, Pearce (apologies i dont know how to spell their name) was such an amazing person. They listened to what we needed for the night and was very considerate. Drinks were nice, a lot of people got drinks over pool. If you want a good night out with some pool and drinks, go here with friends ! Thanks Pearce you were amazing !

We went here on a Tuesday night after another restaurant down the road didn't have any tables available and we're glad we did. Great down to earth Northern Irish atmosphere with good food. Our server was friendly and the food was excellent. Got exactly what we wanted and it tasted delicious. Our table wasn't cleaned properly and I ended up with gravy on my arm and I had to remind them to add our two drinks to our bill after we got it. These two little things are not a big deal though. Great experience and would go back anytime 👍

My team at work has recently booked Lavery's for two separate social events, and the service was brilliant at both. We reserved the back terrace, which was decorated with string lights, and part of the pool room. On the first occasion we ordered finger food platters, and the second we went for the buffet menu- the food was good both times, and meant that people could serve themselves and move around, rather than a sit-down dinner vibe. The Lavery's team were so easy to work with, we'll definitely consider coming back for another social!

We went to the top floor to the pool room. There was a good number of people in and the atmosphere was lively. Drinks are a bit on the expensive side but probably in line with other venues in Belfast. We went into the bottom bar it was really nice and has been completed renovated

Had my birthday karaoke last Saturday! It was the best craic! The staff were very accommodating, helpful and the drinks were delicious! I recommend to anyone who wants to have a karaoke sesh or play some pool!

Food smelt good but my mates hips couldn’t fit in the boof lol pure steaming but leful lol

Got drawn in by the lovely decor which felt so original and transported us right back in time! Varied selection of beers and cocktails, and although it was absolutely packed on Saturday night, we were able to find a spot and enjoy our drinks for the evening!

Didn't have food so cant comment but didn't want to leave a zero rating. Stupid system if you ask me Was there for a night out. Great atmosphere, nice pint and a good craic. Staff were pleasant and the locals (?) were in good spirits. Had a good night and I would 100% look it up next time im in Belfast

Busy, popular bar with a nice, mixed clientele - young and old, glamorous and casual. All in all, very comfortable. The service was hit and miss. The person behind the bar was a inexperienced but the guys on the floor were very professional. Great for a night out in the city. Very enjoyable indeed.

Called in for drinks, it's a favourite when visiting Belfast, the service is always warm and friendly, the drinks chilled, the atmosphere is what you make it, highly recommended.

A brief visit to this pub which we liked a lot. Lovely staff and enjoyed listening to the guitarist/singer. We visited 3 pubs in the Cathedral Quarter and they were all great. Looking forward to going back and spending more time there.

Very good pub best we been so far on our Irish trip the bar man was fantastic giving my wife some advice on which was the best whisky from Bushmills to drink sorry about the pic of the toilet but so clean and good well done 👏

Quite honestly one of the most fun places I have ever visited. We were there on a Saturday afternoon for the live music in the rear room and after hovering a while managed to get a seat. The place was absolutely bouncing. The atmosphere was crazy. Everyone was singing and dancing. Extremely busy so a little difficult to get to and from the bar but don't let that put you off. Drinks standard prices for the area. Absolutely loved it! (I'd have posted a video however they all have my dreadful singing in the background 😅)

I attended the New Year’s Eve party at Alibi Club on December 31st, and overall, it was an average experience. The venue itself has a stylish and modern vibe, which was appealing, and the decorations for the occasion added a festive touch. The music selection was decent, with a mix of popular tracks and party anthems. However, the DJ transitions felt a bit off at times, which affected the flow of the night. The crowd was lively, but the space felt overcrowded, making it challenging to move around comfortably. In terms of service, the bar staff were friendly, but the wait times for drinks were noticeably long, likely due to the high volume of guests. The drink prices were reasonable for a New Year’s event, but the variety of options was somewhat limited.

I was spiked here by a bartender on Halloween in 2022 and ended up in hospital as a result. Nothing was done by staff to help me and I was left outside in the early hours of the morning. I would advise people to be careful and avoid this nightclub especially on busy nights when spiking is easier to get away with!

Good venue, music was very RNB. Staff were very helpful and the bouncers where actually great crack! Even gave me a piece of gum when noone else in the place seemed to have any. I was overcharged for some mixers though but when I contacted them to check what I was charged for they informed me of their mistake and refunded me and apologised which was nice. Atmosphere was great but not sure if that's because it was NYE or if it's always like that. Had a great fire show aswell for NYE which was nice.

We came here Friday 10pm, they were close. Google maps shows open

False advertising. There’s barely any people in the club and the guy who took the entry fee did not let the people know. It’s so deserted and no one should pay their hard earned money to be in a club that no one is willing to dance nor even come in. They are very well known for only letting ‘attractive’ people come in. Everyone that came in left or spoke about getting a refund. Also, the manager was rude.

Good cozy experience besides the lazy bar manager drinking in the bar ,and no one picking up the glasses from the table. We asked for a grapefruit gin that was clearly labelled on the shelf to then be told there was none, retrain your bar staff.

First, friendly and helpful staff all round. From the bars staff to the bouncers, Could not fault them at all. Drinks and music are brilliant and club was just the right amount of people. Not too crowded and not too quiet. The firegìrls are stunning

We went here the day after Valentine’s Day for a bite to eat and a drink. The place was soooo pretty and though it was extremely busy the staff were very nice and sat us on the balcony while we waited on our table. We got some small plates and an antipasti wish was all fabulous!

Food was lovely and made pretty quick and cocktails were nice aswell. Bit of a let down with service as the staff weren’t too attentive and on a quiet night a lot of tables having to go up to the bar to get their attention . Other than that a very nice place.

My absolute favourite pizza place in Belfast! I've been twice and absolutely loved the pizzas I chose each time. The dough is delicious!! And the toppings and choices are really good. Their desserts are really good too. Absolutely recommend and will def go back! Nice service too! Thanks.

Lovely food and even lovelier staff. First time here in Belfast and the staff made us feel very welcome - our server was such an angel! Food was incredible and the decor is gorgeous.

Our experience at Tetto deserves more than 5 stars. We had such a wonderful and warm welcome. The atmosphere is so relaxing with wonderful colours overall. Our waitress Chloe F was such a gem. I had the angioletti cider as per her recommendation and just whao, lets just say I have a new favourite. We had the Nduja and chorizo pizza, so delicious, base thin and crunchy. For dessert again as per recommendation we had the tiramisu, another whao. Overall we really had a memorable time at Tetto. We highly recommend and will definitely be back when visiting Belfast again.

The food is amazing and atmosphere was great but the service was terrible. We ordered drinks, by the time our food came we had finished our drinks and asked to order drinks and they never came back. They had people just standing around and I had to physically get up and get them when I was eating and to get our bill!!

Honestly, the Pizza was very mediocre with tomato sauce that tasted like the kind of sauce you'd get with speghetti hoops out of a tin, and was somehow both raw on top and charred on bottom, and chewy as leather at a premium price. I wouldn't go back.

Lovely cocktails (recommend the espresso martini), and a very cool bar in general. Love the vibe, and the 2000/2010s playlist they had playing is class. New favourite bar in Belfast!

I had a wonderful first date here at Muriel's, and the ambiance and selection of this establishment undoubtedly contributed to its success! The pear-tini in particular is excellent and refreshing, and the spicy margaritas pack an excellent punch as well! Would recommend this place to all :)

Indoor/ outdoor seating. It's on a road, so not as calming as the main square. The inside is lovely. There's facilities but no toilet seats. The staff are really lovely and welcoming and the menu is vaste, personally as a vegetarian I love the blue cheese sauce with grilled eggs and vegetables, for meat eater there is a piggy platter. Which they also make as a sharer. There's also some ice creams and desserts on order the fruit cheese cakes looks amazing. And plenty of great sights on the road that Marie's is based on, worth a visit.

Half a cocktail, if it wasn't expensive enough for a cocktail the thing wasn't even full....the least that you could expect. I queried it with the bargirl who said "it's a bigger than usual glass" expertly delivered with the most unfriendly outlook I've seen in quite a while..... I won't be returning and I couldn't recommend this place to anyone...

Love love love the decor upstairs! Not much seating but just a great cosy little spot. Dark and moody eclectic bar. Nightmare lifting a tray of cocktails upstairs mind you. Not sure if there’s toilets downstairs but doubtful. Don’t know how much the cocktails are as there was just a list of names but they were drunk anyway!

We had booked a table based on the website menu....when we got there menu was nothing like it...it was basically carry out food with wooden forks which was practically threw at us onto table. Staff were v unhelpful and grumpy. Was v disappointed as we had ate here in the past and it had been v good.Def will not b back!!

The Bar itself is a 1920s style cocktail lounge and feels like a nice place to escape the world, some of the touches feel a little unnecessary like the underwear hanging from the ceiling but I found the upstairs very snug. Food is from the next door restaurant, American style, which comes to you like takeaway orders. I liked the casual aspect but again, slightly at odds with the decor. Overall a nice place to hide away from the rain and casual enough to use it as a first date spot.

It was raining so we couldn't make the most of the garden but food was nice and we got moved to a better table when one freed up. Water had cucumber in which is always a nice touch. A few good veggie choices and the juices were nice

My sister and I popped into 'The National' for a late breakfast before heading to Belfast Castle. We very much enjoyed our refreshing strawberry lemonades and the bunch baps we had were delicious. The server we had was friendly and efficient and they didn't mind when we wanted to move to the Garden as it was such a sunny day. The inside is decorated well, but the garden was lovely to sit in and enjoy our food. I would definitely come back as I very much enjoyed my time there. Might pop in later for a drink to see what it's like in the evening.

After an early morning arrival in Belfast for an evening work event, I headed to The National for brunch and to catch up on some work, and I'm so glad I did. Their Bacon Naan, with chilli fried eggs and tomato chutney was outstanding! All the other dishes I saw coming out from the kitchen also looked dynamite - wish I had been staying in Belfast for longer to try more. Great flat white coffees as well, and the service was top notch - friendly, welcoming and always on hand to keep water topped up or grab you any other drinks. A must visits for brunch or lunch in Belfast - I'll definitely be back!

Been here a few times and the food is delicious but service can be quite slow at times. I ordered an iced latte which never arrived, after 20 minutes, I gave up and left to get a coffee elsewhere. Staff are lovely, food is divine but service could be a bit better!

Good food and lots of business types for lunch. We like that the price was more affordable and the food didn’t suffer. Breakfast items were much above average.

had a fantastic experience here from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Definitely recommend the Chicken Waffles & Potato bread fries! The customer service was just as impressive. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. They made sure we were comfortable, checked in at the right times, and went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable. Will definitely be back!

My experience here was on a beautiful morning so take note. Had a lovely breakfast with colleagues here and I chose my breakfast from a list of various options. The food was too beautiful to eat, and equally tasted as good as it looked when I decided to finally eat it. Lots of drink options too including various coffee ☕️. Could comfortably take about 30-50 people including its garden-like area with enough ventilation and space for a live band or some good music for evening groove.

Food was great! Fairly quiet as we were upstairs. Lots of interesting photos and murals on the walls. I had Cajun chicken Burger. Was very nice though felt flavour could have been a bit stronger so asked for some pepper corn gravy. Yum

We initially went to the pub second but in order to get food you need to go upstairs. I had the spicy chicken burger and thought it was pretty good. Juicy chicken breast with fries. The restaurant got quite busy and only had 2 servers on. The other food I saw looked quite good. It's worth a try if you're in the area.

What a lovely place this is went for a walk and found this delightful place will delightful be returning. Both had the fish and chips it was so fresh. And looking at what others had ordered there food looked delicious too. We also had the Guinness bread and butter 😋

Superb, traditional and bustling pub with music downstairs, lovely restaurant upstairs. Had the Irish stew, really decent and hearty although portion not massive for the money but you pay for the central location and with a side or starter would have been fine. Ordered and had the food in less than 5mins as they have it on the go. Lots on the menu, was served by the lovely Roisin who was so friendly and helpful. It was so good I came back the next day as she'd recommended the ham and champ but sadly missed out as didn't realise they close the kitchen just after 8. I gather the pub is the oldest in town, it's got bags of character and was the prettiest I visited in Belfast.

Lovely little upstairs restaurant to the main pub down below. It was quiet and had traditoinal music on while we ate. Fish and chips were nice and crunchy with thin batter and tender fish, and the pour of Guinness was excellent

Really really nice pub, it's over 300 years old so when you step inside it has a very special atmosphere, the staff are very friendly, the bar area was fairly busy but we got drinks quickly, the bar area tends not to get busy with people having around as there isn't much room, most people stand outside in the beer garden, over all I would recommend a visit if you're out and about, we didn't have food so can't comment ⭐⭐⭐

Great place to visit. A proper Irish pub. Lovely pints of guiness. Great atmosphere with some traditional music on top of it.

This needs to be in the global top 500. Now. We arrived as a walk in (unadviseable) on Sat night and although they were full, said to check their website for a later booking. When we got back, they said our table wasn’t ready so we can sit beside the bar for a bit. We ordered a round and got given an extra freebie as an apology for the table not being ready. The menu is one of the coolest I’ve ever seen. The Old vs New Testament idea is brilliant and a great way to divide the classics (done super well) and the signatures. The menu does a really good job of describing the drinks and I wish we could’ve stayed for more! Again, should win G500 best bar menu (in my humble opinion). Little personal note from working in a similar bar - this is everything done right. Bar staff moving with no wasted steps when needed, efficient in floor processes. Just a fantastic venue that I wish I could afford more visits to. Staff were absolutely amazing and super helpful. When I’m back in NI, I’ll certainly be making a special visit.

Super cool spot for a unique cocktail. Entrance is hidden in an alley just like all good speakeasies. Fantastic and unique ambience, cute little rooftop terrace, all the vibes are vibing. They don’t serve food but that’s because cocktails are the stars of the show!

Cool little speakeasy down a side street in Belfast. They keep the inside well lit which I actually really like and was different from most cocktail bars I’ve been to. Interesting selection of drinks and also a good mocktail list if you’re not drinking. Drinks are well balanced. They have “Old Testament” which are classic cocktails and “New Testament” which are their signature cocktails. We sat on the roof terrace which was cost and had heaters.

we went on valentines, so it was an odd menu and i’ve never tasted a worse alcoholic beverage in my life. fairly sure it’s opinion based, the staff were kind and the outside area was beautiful, it’s a shame everyone out there was not enjoying their expensive drinks.

Great bar. Interesting mix of drinks with traditional and one's with a twist. Good service and a really good playlist. The Vogue (coffee negroni) was spectacular

Great cocktail bar. Very friendly staff including Ashton, Natalia and the absolutely amazing Marc. We’ll definitely be back 🙌🏻

Cosy little cocktail bar that we came across in Belfast city. The cocktails were really good and the staff were so friendly. We didn’t get to stay around for long as we had other plans but would definitely come back next time. It’s a nice speakeasy cocktail bar and has an extensive cocktail menu too. Would definitely recommend!

The drinks are great and its a lovely dekor in the bar! We had a lovely and competent Barkeeper named Angela.

Chloes personality is amazing. She is very welcoming, made me feel welcome as soon as I came in the door. She is very hardworking and seems to really enjoy her job and nothing is too much to ask for. She definitely went out of her way to make sure we had a great day

I was here yest, with a couple of mates. Loved the drinks, atmosphere and hospitality at Tipsy. Would be unfair if i dont mention that Indian guy RD who was super friendly and hospitable. From serving us to entertaining us, full points for RD and the tipsy bird team.

Went for my sister's hen do for some drinks. Fabulous service from Grace! One of the members of our group was unwell and Grace had the unfortunate job of dealing with it. She was kind and empathetic and took it in her stride. Stellar service 🙂

Came here for a hen party. We booked the drag bingo! It was fun, flirty, and filled with laughter! A great time was had by everyone although the free mocktails we had (pregnant and sober people) were so sweet we couldn’t finish them

Had drinks with my friends here last night for halloween, was served by Angela she was lovely super friendly and helpful. Great service and positive atmosphere downstairs

Called in for a beer in lashing rain, no signs, no information and no one in the down stairs bar and then she said they were closed for a private event. Poor service, poor attitude and a sign would have helped. Second time second time the service has been embarrassing. Pls spend you money else where. In my opinion

Absolutely shocking! Went for a friends birthday around 10pm, all my friends had got in after presenting ID as did me and my sister, my boyfriend who was behind us in Que got turned away after he had his hood up while in Que as it was slightly raining and of course cold, the bouncer said to take down his hood and he obliged , soon after he was told he wasn’t aloud in due to his hood being up! The bouncer was middle aged with glasses couldn’t give me a reason why he wasn’t aloud in just said sometimes he has to make calls the other bouncer with curly hair extremely rude, he said me and my sister had to go pay or we would be kicked out of Que, so we did, £20 wasted after my boyfriend and my sisters boyfriend were turned away under no pretence. Ollie’s do better this is absolutely disgusting and ruined our night I understand bouncers have a call to make but under this circumstance there was no reason, the bouncer with the curly hair could of at least had the decency to let me and my sister know they weren’t getting in instead of forcing us to pay, ridiculous!

Music is always 10/10,, can’t say the same about the bouncers on the other hand. I’m absolutely appalled about the way they spoke to me. I got put out of the smoking area by force after being nothing but understanding to the bouncer (Brown curly hair) He had ZERO reason who put his hands on me as if I was some sort of threat. Absolutely disgusting , if you want to work in a professional environment you should be able to hold yourself to that manner.

Absolutely a disgrace went last night and 4 of us got in waiting on my friend coming for her 21st we had vip so we had to leave due to them not getting in. What a horrible person you have working for you!!! Our friends came in two separate taxis the first to arrive were about to get in when a baldy arrogant chubby bouncer came over and said no not tonight and when asked why he ignored. He is a disgrace to your club he did this based on race which is an absolute disgrace, as 2 of them are not from here.Shame on him….. and on yourselves allowing this to happen!

One star is too good for this place, however it was the only option. Paid 250 pounds for a table which was a rip off to begin with for half of our table to be turned away for wearing black cargo trousers when 70% of the male population in the venue were wearing the same or similar. Left a friend in tears when out trying to celebrate her 21st birthday. Tried to debate this with management and bouncer staff who suggested going to Tesco at 11pm on a Saturday evening to get a change of clothes. Absolute disgrace will never be back.

Bouncers are very aggressive especially me being pregnant i basically got spat in my face by the head bouncer who is bald and trying to speak to the staff was impossible there was so reasoning so i had to leave on my friends birthday which being heavily pregnant trying to go out on a night out is a task in itself but being spoke to like that when he visibly knew my situation is a disgrace. I used to go on and off but I will not be back as that establishment has fallen to pieces. I would not even rate this place a 1.

RACIST. Don’t come here. My friends and I got racially profiled here with NO explanation. Disgusting.

Very disappointed at how I was treated by the doormen. They have every right to refuse entry but to look me up and down was quite revolting.

Very pleasantly surprised. A very informative look at life in the prison and a fairly complete history. The condemned cell and the gallows were very thought provoking. Value for money, particularly as there's free parking on site as well as a fully licenced bar in one of the wings!

A fantastic restoration and story of a Gaol throughout Belfast's last hundred years plus. Following a well planned trail you get stories, an idea of life for a variety of prisoners, the punishments, the stories and the hardships. The building itself is a stark reminder of Victorian views of punishment, separation in cells, menial work, cleanliness, religious overlay and solid structural integrity. The cafe in the former kitchens is great the food was lovely and value for money. Service was really friendly.

Wow! You will not regret coming here! Super kind staff and super interesting to learn about the history behind these walls. I met two ladies who told me that their father was incarcerated here when it still held prisoners!

What a great experience. Really well done being interactive and thoughtful with a good mix of technology integrated into the actual spaces. Although the entire space is not accessible to you, they make good use of the example spaces they created. You could spend a lot of time here and have different experiences in each section you go into. Quite emotionally moving too. Don't forget to check out the cafe.

A very interesting attraction. The tour was informative and the atmosphere gave a real sense of history. Definitely worth a visit when in Belfast!

A victorian Gaol I hear you say, Crumlin Gail takes you back in time and through the history of The Troubles. An interesting insight you won't find anywhere else and a well preserved piece of history. Worth a visit to the hangmans noose which at the end of the tour makes you think of those who having committed those heanous crimes came to an end.

It would have been five stars if the cafe had been open! We spent about 4 hours at the Gaol and had lunch at the distillery next door. The Gaol is definitely worth a visit, to learn about the Victorian view of appropriate penal conditions for men women and children, as well as about the imprisonment of people during the Troubles. The exhibits are well laid out but the individual stories, set in different cells by video, tended to overlap with those in adjacent cells. The video would benefit enormously from subtitles. Nevertheless the overall impression was vivid and authentic.

While visiting Belfast, came over to City Hall. History and Significance Birth of a City Symbol: The City Hall was commissioned after Queen Victoria granted Belfast official city status in 1888, recognizing its massive industrial expansion in shipbuilding, linen, and engineering. A grand civic building was deemed necessary to reflect this elevated status. The Titanic Connection: The building has a strong link to the RMS Titanic. Lord Mayor William Pirrie, who was Lord Mayor just before construction, was also the managing director of the Harland and Wolff shipyard where the Titanic was built. He is credited with the idea for both grand projects. Many of his skilled shipyard workers were involved in the intricate fit-out of the City Hall's interiors, providing an insight into the luxurious finish of the Titanic's lounges and suites, as the carving and paneling are very similar. Construction and Style: Designed by architect Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas in the Baroque Revival style, the building was constructed using Portland stone and opened its doors in 1906. The cost was a significant £369,000, funded largely by the profits of Belfast's municipal gasworks. Wartime Resilience: During World War II, the City Hall served as a crucial center for civil defense and stood firm during the Belfast Blitz in 1941, although the roof above the Banqueting Hall was destroyed and later rebuilt. Location: It stands on the site of the former White Linen Hall, which was the heart of the city's once-thriving international linen industry. Architectural and Unique Features The Dome: The central feature of the skyline is the distinctive 173-foot copper dome. Originally bright copper, it has oxidized over the years to its recognizable green patina. Opulent Interiors: The interior is equally grand, featuring a stunning array of marbles (including Carrara, Pavonazzo, and Brescia), sweeping marble staircases, mosaic tiling, and the Rotunda, which leads the eye up to the dome. The Council Chamber is paneled in Irish oak. Stained Glass Windows: The hall is home to a magnificent collection of stained glass windows, which are visual narratives of the city's past, depicting monarchs, coats of arms of the provinces of Ireland, and commemorating significant events like the 36th (Ulster) Division. The Coat of Arms: The city's motto, "Pro tanto quid retribuamus" (What shall we give back in return for so much?), is found on the coat of arms. The crest features symbols like the seahorse and ship, signifying Belfast's maritime importance, and the bell, which is a play on the first syllable of the city's name (Belfast).

Belfast City Hall, a magnificent civic building in the heart of Belfast, Northern Ireland, is a symbol of the city's rich history and prosperity. Completed in 1906, it was built to commemorate Queen Victoria granting Belfast city status in 1888. Designed by Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas, the building is a stunning example of Baroque Revival architecture. Its most prominent features are the elegant green copper dome and the white Portland stone facade. The interior is equally impressive, with intricate marble staircases, mosaic floors, and stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the city's past. The City Hall's grounds are a public park and home to several notable memorials, including the Titanic Memorial Garden, dedicated to the victims of the famous shipwreck. Historically, the building has served as a center for civic life and a focal point during significant events, including World War II and the Troubles. Today, Belfast City Hall remains the seat of the Belfast City Council and a major tourist attraction. Visitors can explore a self-guided exhibition on the city's history or take a guided tour to see the grand interiors, including the Council Chamber and the Rotunda. The City Hall stands as a testament to Belfast's industrial heritage and a living part of its modern identity, welcoming visitors and locals alike to its historic grounds.

Belfast City Hall is a magnificent Baroque Revival building completed in 1906, serving as the seat of Belfast City Council. It's a grand architectural statement reflecting Belfast's industrial prosperity at the turn of the 20th century. There are guided tours offer an "extraordinary glimpse" into areas not usually accessible to the public, including the Italian and Greek marble-clad Rotunda, the Irish-oak paneled Council Chamber (where you can sit in the Lord Mayor's throne!), and the Robing Room with its civic regalia. After your tour, you can visit a unique exhibition across 16 rooms that explores the history of Belfast. The surrounding gardens are popular and feature the Titanic Memorial Garden, commemorating those who died on the ship, with a plaque listing all 1,512 names. Overall it's a top choice for visitors to Belfast, offering a blend of impressive architecture, rich history, and insights into the city's civic life.

BELFAST GEM I feel like the City Hall is the prettiest thing to exist in Belfast. It gives the city centre a lot of character. I Would have loved to go inside.

An absolutely stunning building — both inside and out! Belfast City Hall is a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. The architecture is grand and elegant, with beautifully maintained grounds perfect for a stroll or a sit-down on a sunny day. The free public tours are a highlight — informative, engaging, and a great way to learn about Belfast’s political and social history. The interior is just as impressive, with ornate ceilings, marble staircases, and fascinating exhibits. A true gem in the heart of the city!

I was absolutely delighted to discover this hidden treasure. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the gardens and greenhouse are immaculately cared for with such dedication. It’s hard to believe that a place this beautiful is completely free to enjoy. Every corner is stunning, and the atmosphere is uplifting. An utterly amazing experience, thank you for creating and maintaining such a wonderful haven. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌿✨

Excellent place to spend a nice few hours. Highly recommended to visit on a weekend so you get free parking around the garden. Enjoy your time at the Botanic Indoor garden and make sure you reach in the morning hours to avoid disappointment.

Very stunning location for the entire family. The beautiful colours of the flowers is music to the soul. It is definitely a surreal point to get away from the buzzing noise of the city.

It’s a green oasis in the city. It’s spacious and dog friendly. It feels more like a city park rather than a botanical garden. However, it’s still a clam and relaxing place to spend a day

Free public space with fantastic orangery. Even during autumn it's interesting to visit! And we spotted a few squirrels!

Lovely garden in the middle of a busy area. There are so many different things inside the garden premises. There Ulster museum (admission free) showcases the history of the Northern Ireland. There is also a greenhouse which has lots of different variety of plants and another building with tropical plants. You can find all of them in Google Maps if you explore inside the park area. The Queen’s University has its physical education center inside the park, which has parking space adjacent to it. There are cafes and restaurants too, one inside the museum, and few mobile trucks. There are toilets in the park. The park is well maintained. It has the most beautiful trees. There are beautiful flower beds in the spring next to the greenhouse, and benches are available next to the flowerbeds so that you can sit and admire the beauty of the flowers. There’s also a rose garden which is now in its full bloom (May-June). A Japanese garden is hidden in the middle of the park. It’s a little underrated, but very calm and peaceful. This park is next to my workplace and I feel very lucky and grateful about its location. Just be mindful about the opening times. They close the gate at different times during the year. But there are always notice boards at the gates (all the gates) mentioning when each gate will be closed.

Here’s my take… look at those roses!!! The rose garden was beautiful and smelled amazing. The park is well kept and beautiful. We went on a Sunday in early July and so didn’t get to go into the greenhouse. It was a lovely park to walk through.

The marker is quite decent with balanced mix of prepared food, raw food, crafts, and antiques. Foodies may want to know there is Spanish paella, original pasta Alfredo in Parmesan cheese preparation, and French crepes. Also freshly made marshmallows. Unfortunately, the market is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays

Wow, what a busy bustling place and so much on offer . International foods, art, fashion, antiquities, kids stuff, jewellery....the list goes on. We spent a happy hour or two just wandering and listening to the sounds.

Live music, all kinds of merchants, awesome food. All kinds of local or handmade products are available here. The place had really an awesome vibe, one of the best markets what I have ever seen.

Such a vibrant and fun market! I especially loved the desserts from Jam and Olly’s 🫶— absolutely delicious and worth the visit just for that. Great atmosphere and so many tasty options!

This charming market is a treasure trove of amazing arts, music, and delectable food! From mouthwatering street food to sweet treats, savory delights, homemade creations, and specialty items, there’s something for everyone. Belfast’s culinary scene is truly a must-visit, but be prepared to arrive early, as seats can fill up quickly during lunchtime.

We had great fun at the market. It was packed out so if you don’t like crowds, this might not be the place for you. Got a little early Christmas shopping done plus bought some decadent treats. We will visit again.

Recommend to come if you are in Belfast. Lots of food choices , bring cash as many places only take cash. Make sure to be hungry ! Great market with lots of choices. There is jewellery , homemade baked goods , all kinds of foods , berries and vegetables , clothing for sale. Recommend visiting for sure ! We went on Sunday at 12 pm and it was really busy , i would recommend coming early as there are lots of choices so you could have breakfast AND lunch. Great place 😊

My parents & I both agree, food & drink was all delicious and definitely worth visiting! The atmosphere is great with the live music & the roast was especially good - the roast bacon melts in your mouth and everything was so flavourful, I've never been so happy to eat vegetables before 😆

Enjoyed the Sunday lunch. Maybe the maintenance department could adjust the squeaky door that constantly swings open. Alot of energy going out the door!

Food here was amazing. Dervla was our server and he did a fantastic job. A breath of fresh air compared to other restaurants around the area, fancy but not too pricey too. Wish this restaurant was in my hometown.

Although Belfast has like a lot of options, during my holiday there I was able to eat good food and drink a proper cocktail here. It was good.

Delicious food and fantastic service by the very lovely and knowledgeable Marek.

My wife’s meal was lovely, however I ordered the hand made chicken burger, it’s was very dry indeed; to be honest I did eat the majority of the chicken as it was our wedding anniversary and didn’t want to complain at the time as didn’t want to disturbed our meal as sending it back I would have probably involved my wife eating her meal on her own whilst mine was sent back, informed the very pleasant waitress who informed me if I had said something earlier they could have done something about it. I would have liked some sort or discount but hay ho !

Great bar with good selection of beer and wine. We didn't eat here but the food coming out all smelled and looked good. Staff lovely a d we really enjoyed the singers on Saturday afternoon.

Great restaurant and pub in the center of Belfast. The service from the bartender upstairs was polite and very professional throughout our visit. The food was done to perfection. Absolutely no complaints. Love visiting this place for lunch when im over.

Upstairs from the main bar is a very well decorated restaurant. The servers are very polite and attentive. We had the beef roast and shared some scallops and both were delicious. Good portion sizes. Would reccomend

Great atmosphere and delicious food in a lovely setting. Big shoutout to Adam, who did an absolutely stellar job — friendly, attentive, and really lifted the whole experience. Thanks also to Lisa, who clearly wasn’t having the best day but still gave solid service and kept things running smoothly. Credit where it’s due! All up, a good spot with quality food and genuine service — worth a visit if you’re in Derry.

Braised beef cheek was probably the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time, meal was faultless, staff lovely. Guinness excellent (not a short pour, I took a sip!) I went late on a Sunday night so it was quieter. Absolute gem of a place, will be back.

Quite a disappointment. We ordered a lot of meat, but about half of it came burnt. The beef cheek was delicious, and one of the fillet steaks was good. However, the sirloin steak, which we asked for medium, was very well done — probably because it was thin and served on a hot skillet, so it kept cooking on the way. The lamb chops were completely burnt. At the beginning, we asked for the dessert menu but were told it would be offered at the end of the meal. In the end, no one brought it — though by that point, we didn’t really want it anymore.

The atmosphere was really lovely and nostalgic, the staff were super friendly and accommodating and the food was absolutely delicious plus I reccomend a maiden mule as a drink, one of the nicest drinks I’ve ever had!

Nice gastropub. Decent Sunday lunch, especially on a wet day in Belfast. The Yorkshire pudding was really good

Make sure you make a reservation, always full! Caring service, good atmosphere. But food was average and didnt live up to our expectations or its reputation. Lamb stew was too salty.

Great classic Pub. Nice friendly atmosphere. Nice semi quiet dining area upstairs. Actually love this place.

Been there at the Northern Ireland open breaks. Fish and chips went to table fast and it was hot and fresh. Fish was crispy outside and flaky inside. Very good and good salt too. Chips are pretty much same than everywhere in Belfast. Tangy malt vinegar on top and mushy peas alongside made this meal better than mediocre. Service is very friendly, fast and efficient. Nothing to complain. A well poured Guinness with food was spot on.

Very typical Irish pub, nice place to hang with friends and enjoy a good brew and taste some good bar food. It's conveniently close to everything.

One of the biggest and nicest Irish stews I have ever eaten, absolutely delicious and well worth the money!!! Great service from friendly staff and good choice of drinks :-)

Great environment for a pint, live music the Sunday we came by. Would recommend for everyone.

Best Pint of Guinness in all of Belfast! Food was amazing! Service was immaculate. There's a reason why they have been around for over 300 years. Will definitely be coming back when we return to Belfast

Brilliant night in The Garrick. The drinks are reasonably priced with great specials on offer. Brilliant Irish whisky selection. We were in on a Thursday night at 9pm and there was a live trad session on.

Lively bar near the main square. Good selection of beers. Called in for the live music which was advertised but wasn't on ?? Nice beer though.

Oh my God. First time visiting Belfast and had to try the local food. I had the pepper steak pie and champ. The best pie I've ever had. Proper chunks of well flavoured meat. The champ was really nice too. Yum yum is how I describe it. Fantastic flavour. Everyone should try it.

Worlds best Irish coffee, perfect pub grub and one of the best selection of local drinks you will get in the whole of Ireland. Must visit for visitors and locals alike 🥃✨

Nice spot for a pint. Cool bar, nice staff. First pint of Guinness was great but the next few were a bit iffy. Cool trad band in the corner on the Sunday evening. Worth a visit. Good venue to watch sport.

Really nice pub, staff were all sound and the lamb stew was very tasty. Also, nice to find Aspall's available after living down south where it's impossible to get hold of.

Good bangers and mash and fish and chips. Good local Guinness options on draft.

Great little place adjacent to the 1852 hotel. The hotel is self check in and doesn't have a front desk. The folks at Town Square held onto my luggage after check out until I was ready to leave town. Super friendly staff, and the food was good.

Tried the sweet chili and girl dinner stack! Belfast version of our Canadian poutine! I have to admit, it was quite good! Lots of savoury chicken! Dressing was good! Guinness tastes way better here than back home too! Staff was extremely courteous.

This bar is 10/10. The drinks are always amazing. It is the perfect date night spot.

My son and I were in the area because we were going to see HAWKWIND in the Mandela Hall. It was raining fairly heavily so we quickly looked around for somewhere to eat and found TOWN SQUARE. We were not disappointed. We were there at 5pm so it wasn't full but I've no doubt on a Friday or Saturday it most certainly would be. My son had the Buffalo Stack and I had the KFC Burger both were lovely. The burger came with KIMCHI which I've never had and it was great. We washed both meals down with half pints of Guinness, also very nice. The service was friendly and efficient and the music was good. Would definitely be back.

had a night out with my friends here. The place was super chill and cozy. they had various drink options and the cocktails were amazing. i would go back here again to hang out with my friends and family.

Delicious breakfast and yummy hot chocolate! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Love the character of the place and its decor! We’ll be back for sure on our next visit to Belfast. BYW: it is just opposite the Botanic train station. So if you want to grab a bite before getting on the train, this is the ideal place!

I absolutely love this place, it has been my go to for 3 years! The staff are really nice, especially Jeanie she is so lovely and accommodating! The drinks are top notch along with the food!

A really lovely pub in the memory of John Hewitt, and his work. Great selection of craft beers and drinks in general. Food was awesome. The ragu lasagne was great!

First time in Belfast stopped in for a beer and food lovely little bar with a big range of local Irish beer, sour's, stout and wine Food is had the vegetarian lasagne served a good portion very filling whilst drinking and tidy sour 😋 Venue cateres for vegan and vegetarian food eaters food was lovely Can't argue with an empty plate Served by a lovely lady Armanda recommend me the apricot sour and vegetarian lasagne both were delicious I will definitely be returning keep up the good work 👏

This pub makes you feel you are at your local. There is a great atmosphere with a selection of music but it is the nights when they offer traditional sessions that it feels the most welcoming. The food here is delicious and reasonably priced. Always best to book a table if you want to eat, especially on the weekends.

Visited with a collegue for a spot of lunch. We both had the chicken parm burger with parmesan and garlic fries. Our server kindly pointed out the lunch specials and these two together normally cost £19 but with the lunch deal only cost £12. We ordered and paid up front at the bar and our food came out shortly after. It was delicious. Great portions and just tasted so fresh. The basil pesto on the burger was amazing 👏 Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu particularly the lasagne bites. It was early on in the day about 12ish and the pub was nice and quiet with a few lunch time pinters beginning to congregate as we were leaving. Drinks selection was good with lots of different beers etc to try but alas i stuck to pepsi. Franky's Lasagneria at the John Hewitt - superb! #lasagneria #thejohnhewitt #belfast #belfastfood

Absolutely beautiful, stunning bar and don't get me started the food is mind blowing I have never ate food like it. Nice chill vibes too 😎

I don't know what it was about this place, but from the moment I arrived in Belfast I was immediately and inexplicably draw towards this place. My girlfriend refused to go in because she said it looked rough. By the third day in Belfast she was in there. It's got a really great selection of beers and alt Stouts. And there was live trad music. For me my favourite pub in Belfast so far.

Blessed mother in heaven! This is an Irish pub! Found a new fav local whiskey and be sure to try franks lasagna (probably better than moms spaghetti em! 😂)

older crowd on Saturday evening fish and chips not the best. but good to see some hand pumps with cask ale - beer

Great pub with people watching seats outside if you're lucky enough to get some sunshine. Good spot for sports or a quiet pint in the snug bar. Always a good atmosphere.

Popular and warmly welcoming bar/restaurant at Ormeau - Belfast South. Tempting but still not pricey menu, friendly staff, well chilled Guinness and more craft samples on tap. Good live music on regular basis. Can be pretty busy during weekends so resevation is recommended.

Your bouncer is a disgrace threatened to fight my 18 year old brother after not believing his identification was authentic, if this establishment does not get back to me I will be making a police report. His SIA badge was not visible, horrible treatment.

Great place for any size of function and I have done a few over the years here. It’s clean friendly and the food is nice. There are 3 rooms which are used every weekday and weekends, it’s a place that have a good hardcore clientele and it’s very well run. Door staff are friendly without the feeling of being in your face. It is a safe friendly atmosphere and a must for any sports fan to enjoy the large screens while having a pint of your favourite tipple. My one gripe is if your working there they charge for a coffee, kinda says how tight they are. Most places even offer food never mind a coffee lol

A "proper" pub, the inside is especially interesting. Three cask beers on sale along with a big range of mostly local craft beer on keg and in can. Have heard they do good food too. B easy to reach on the bus from Belfast centre, but beware of early closing times ...

Brilliant bar, fantastic Monday quiz, superb staff and excellent Guinness. Great screens for sport and the best bar outside of Belfast City Centre

The bar is in a great setting with lovely music that created a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately our group didn’t have the best experience with some of the service we had. We experienced some staff members being quite abrupt and one female bar tender in particular snapped at a member in our group unfairly. There was also a long enough wait to be served and lots of glasses etc stacked on the bar so I’m presuming this was due to the staff being a bit stressed/over-worked. It is a pity though as it slightly tainted our experience here.

Nice little pub hidden in the alleyways near the city centre. There are two pubs joined together with separate names and online a bit of history about the place. The venue is slightly cold owing to air conditioning but plenty of seating, good range of drinks and food options. Didn't eat so only rating the drink selection Staff were busy but friendly

A beautiful hidden gem that, alongside Henry's bar, decorates Joy's Entry seasonally and (at the time of this review) playing tasteful Christmas tunes that are difficult not to sing along to. Spacious outside covered area just sets this place off. More effective patio heaters rather than the current decorative ones would be welcome.

Came for one round of drinks after a dinner elsewhere. There were empty drink glasses everywhere, the poor guy needed more help behind the bar. Guinness was okay. Will need to come back and try again as didn’t get the best impression.

As much as I don't like giving off about staff but really not good asked for a mixed berry cider so haven't any but the fridge beside him had some . Then one member of staff started giving off about under paid for doing his job and I was to blame and he was going to put me out of the bar. To be honest I will never be back in there

Called in for lunch and weren't disappointed. My wife had the Chicken Burger and I had the Fish & Chips. I think you can always tell how good a place is by the fish and chips and it was superb. The mushy peas were done with spring onions which was a nice take on the usual. We just had cappuccinos to warm ourselves up. I would review the idea of putting a paper sheet under the food. It adds nothing to the experience because you are constantly trying to avoid eating it with each mouthful. Staff were really friendly. Heartily recommended.

I'm always surprised when I come here that it isn't busier. I remember it in its original form, this is a total renovation. Actually uses the outside area, one of the Historic Entries, very well. The boss liked the gin list, and I really enjoyed a couple of pints of Staropramen. Nice comfortable surroundings. If you are looking for a quick quiet pint this is the place. The only drawback is the three flights of stairs up to the men's toilets!

Called in for a beer and a bite after arriving in town and stayed for a couple of hours. The beers were good and the 3 for £16 small plates that we had really hit the spot. We had cod bites, chicken strips and caesar fries and all were delicious. We also returned for a beer and a burger a couple of days later before heading to the airport. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Found the place by chance and given the reputation of a 1630 pub we decided to make the experience ours. Unfortunately the Stew was dry and cold, just a few meat pieces, vegetables bland and tasteless, the steak sambo’s meat (sandwich) was a little hard to take a clean bite without using the knife and no salt, but the chips were incredible! our server was attentive and friendly, a coke (mini with a tag of a two liter bottle) a Guinness beer for the total of £60 it’s to expect a lot more.

Great pub and nice environment! So cozy and a gentleman serve us sooooo nice. He gave us the 10/10 good impressions toward Belfast this great city. The Irish liquor cheesecake I would say one of the best cheesecake I had ever have.

Went here the first day we were at Belfast recommended by our hotel hostess. The place is small with a very lively atmosphere, we had to wait for a while to get seats but it was well worth it. The food is AMAZING. It kind of ruined it for us because even though the food at other places was good, none came even close to this place :) My sister had the traditional Irish Stew that we tried elsewhere and none came close to it. The meat just melts in your mouth and it is an explosion of flavors. I had the braised beef cheek and it was DELICIOUS. The staff is super kind (like all the wonderful Irish people) even though they were super busy. It is a tavern but is family friendly. It was a great start for our trip. Just go, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing place, a beautiful gem. We had some pints with seafood chowder, Irish stew and chicken wings. Everything was delicious, and the portions were quite generous. Also, out server ( I wish I had asked his name) was very friendly and helpful 100% recommend!

Nice old cosy pub with a fire. Great pint of Guinness and a chill out in this historic water hole. Worth a visit

5 stars 🌟 for everything in this Pub. Staff helpful and friendly, service was attentive and food delicious. Atmosphere is very cool. Definitely a worthwhile place to visit.

The Sunflower has much to offer. A nice selection of craft beers on tap. I believe nightly music. Friendly folks behind the bar. Cool artwork. A massive back patio. Artisan pizza in the patio. The night we visited the place was packed. It was heavily inhabited by a hipster crowd. It was a Friday night so everyone was in the mood to party. I reckon that you can put The Sunflower in your top 5 list of pubs to visit in Belfast.

best pub in Belfast. i come every time i’m in town and it never disappoints. from the staff, the people, the music, the atmosphere. incredible street art in the area as well.

So I was told they keep the cage over the front door as a reminder of how the neighbourhood has improved, fair enough. So if you're a tourist don't be put off by that. It was very welcoming. We came here primarily for the Beamish which was really good.

Great place. We were staying a Sunday night in Belfast on the way home from the Mourne Mountain Marathon in September so were ready for a good feed and a pint or two after a weekend in the hills. Great cask beer - can't remember what it was but it was very good. Delicious pizzas in the garden. Great service. Great friendly atmosphere. Later when we went indoors there was a music session going on. What more could you want!

Don't have great photos for this one, but trust me the Beamy is Creamy! Great spot, great atmosphere and it really took the cake for our favorite Belfast pub. Even grabbed their tote bag on the way out after visit number 2.

🌻 Sunflower Public House: A Glorious Ode to Belfast’s Beating Heart 🌻 If pubs were poems, then Sunflower Public House would be a sonnet—bold, lyrical, and utterly unforgettable. Nestled on Union Street like a secret whispered between old bricks and revolutionary dreams, this place isn’t just a bar. It’s a living, breathing love letter to Belfast’s soul. From the moment you pass through the iconic security cage (a relic turned cultural monument), you’re stepping into something sacred. The air hums with live music, laughter, and the scent of wood-fired pizza drifting from the beer garden like a siren’s call. Every pint poured here tastes like it was brewed with intention, rebellion, and a dash of magic. And then—there’s him. The barman. The legend. The mystery with the dark beard and the knowing smile. Let’s call him Barry, because every great barman deserves a name worthy of folklore. Barry doesn’t just serve drinks—he orchestrates experiences. With the grace of a seasoned poet and the precision of an engineer, he glides between taps and tales, pouring pints and wisdom in equal measure. His beard, dark as midnight and twice as enigmatic, could probably tell stories if it had its own mic. Barry (or whatever his real name is—perhaps he’s a myth conjured by the spirit of the place) embodies everything Sunflower stands for: warmth, grit, and a refusal to be ordinary. He remembers your order, your dog’s name, and probably your star sign. He’s the kind of barman who makes you feel like you’ve come home—even if it’s your first time through the door. So raise your glass to Sunflower. To the music that spills into the street. To the Beamish that flows smoother than a rebel’s verse. To the cider that dances on your tongue. And most of all, to the dark-bearded bard behind the bar—whoever he may be.

Great wee pub. Don't let the outside put you off. (there is still a cage at the door and it sits down a side street). Staff were lovely, good beer and wine selection and traditional musicians playing when we were in. Lively bar, would definitely go back, next time we're in Belfast.

Saw the magic numbers play here last night. Brilliant gig. First time in the upstairs music hall, lovely venue. It has lots of character, well laid out with some seating along the balcony with great view of the stage. Can't wait for my next gig here 🤗

Went for a pint and ended up upstairs on the Tuesday Comedy night 2 good comics and a compare/comedian who I thought was the best of the 3. Really good night and would advise anyone going to Belfast to go along if there on a Tuesday,Well worth the €10 entry,Drinks at bar normal prices

Went to an Erasure tribute night. Lovely venu and managed to get seats at the front in the balcony. Get there early though. Quite a pissed up older crowd reliving their youth but fun.

Friday night, not many about. Pint £6.50...on Botanic Avenue where they should be trying to get customers in. It's seemed to be full of hangers on or afternoon drunks at 8 or so. Left shortly afterwards. The Guinness is very good though and staff pleasant, quick service albeit hardly any punters.

First time being in the music hall. Brilliant Fleetwood Mac tribute band. Great atmosphere and a generally excellent night.

Been here many times for gigs. Great small venue. And the staff are always friendly. Atmosphere - loses a star for not shutting up those who come here for a chat during a gig. Zero self-awareness but surely you guys can hear them talking/shouting over the talent?

Great little venue. We stopped in here to see a comedy show. Door staff were all very friendly and we were admitted quickly. Limited space for seating so ideally arrive early if you want a good spot. Bar was fairly quick at serving and didn’t have to wait too long for a drink. Acoustics etc for the venue were all great. I was toward the back and despite having terrible hearing I could hear everything perfectly.

I travel a lot for work, I experience bars in countless countries throughout the year. This bar will be one of my favourites for a long time. - More whiskey choices than you can fathom. - Fun staff who really know how to pour a pint of Guinness. - The music quality is just insanely good. - Great location for grabbing some fast food on the way home.

In all fairness, we went on a monday night around 9 p.m. it was very slow and we expected that. Loved the ruggedness of the place. The live music was fantastic. Women's bathrooms were a disaster, like toilet lids broken in pieces and very dirty !

This is a nice spacious pub and the live music on a Friday night provided a great evening out. All the bar staff are friendly and quick with the service and there’s various seating options for different groups sizes as well as chairs at the bar itself. Prices are good and there’s an impressive range of drink options - a great place.

Glorious Irish tunes played on full belt all day. Brilliant, moody atmosphere with plenty of seating and fast bar service to boot!

Great place. Live music with great atmosphere.

A nice place for a visit and a drink, love the decor in the old pub and whiskey room. Great friendly service and good music. We did not stay for the live music because it was later.

Was in here Friday night had no issues getting inside the door same bouncers as always on the door .. came here Saturday night different bouncer on the door never seen him there before I have been here numerous times .. He was eyeballing me as I was heading towards the bar this was at 11pm I was saying to myself why is he staring me down walked over towards the entrance he said to me and my wife we are closed I didn't hear him properly he said we are closed bearing in mind the pub was absolute jam packed and full of life ... Prior to that I was in there the night before on Friday just gone and I was in there until 1.30am before they closed the doors... This particular security guard on the door lied to my face as he didn't want us in the bar telling us it was shut .. We walked pass closer to 1 o clock and it was still opened .. I have video recording of us been refused and been told it was closed when we arrived at around 11pm... And I also have a recording of it still open closer to 1 o clock.. As I am a member of the traveling community I was point blank refused and lied to been told the bar was closed when it was clearly open by that specific bouncer on the door ... I have video footage of everything and I will be taking legal court proceedings against this bar for the way I was lied to and treated .. No other word to describe only discrimination at its finest been told a bar is closing at 11 while it was still well and live at closer to 1 o clock... DISCRIMINATION IS THE ONLY WORD I will be speaking with my solicitor today about this .. And it will be the last time I will come here after been here many times without issues I will never step foot in here again

Literally the absolute worst place I have ever been. Avoid with all costs. Staff would rather pay attention to thier friends and then charge you full price for "Happy Hour cocktails". Toilets are an absolute state, flush doesnt work, big dirty chocolate log in the bowl and the disabled emergency cord tied up for thier convenience etc etc you get the point.

Get your dishwasher cleaned out, glasses absolutely stinking and covered in lipstick. Girl behind the bar was eating a choc ice while making drinks

We had such a great time doing the cocktail making class with Lauren, she could not have been friendlier or more helpful, we will definitely be back!!

Great little place we popped into on a Tuesday afternoon. Divy feel, with incredible decor. Bunch of old ladies, post holiday shopping were throwing back a pint each, and some local workers. Cool vibe. Good music. In the festive holiday spirit as well! Must stop!

We went on a Thursday night so it wasn't very busy. They had a live singer who was good. We had drinks but not food.

It's filthy, it's nasty, it's Filthy McNasty! Located in the Filthy Quarter this place is a good one to start the night off at. Top notch dingy vibes, it's fun and welcoming. We go here on the regular, prices are decent and the beers are cold.

Its kind of average feeling .. crowd are divided between bar in lower and upper as well pub so mixed feeling..bar is good anyway..enjy night life

Voodoo Belfast is a vibrant spot for live music and nightlife! With its edgy vibe, cool decor, and diverse events, it’s perfect for a night out. The drinks are great, staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is electric—especially during gigs. A go-to venue for music lovers in Belfast!

Voodoo has been my partner and I’s regular for 3 years now. Have always found it to be a warm welcoming place with great music. Bar staff are fantastic also, warm and friendly with great service. We keep coming back for this reason. Have noticed a few snippy comments about the door staff. I think people need to realise that their job is not to be your friend, they are not front of house staff in a restaurant and they work hard in what can be a challenging area in Belfast city centre to keep trouble from the bar. The toilets are as you would expect from a rock/alternative bar, i.e not a boutique hotel bar WC with fancy smelling soaps and Dyson hand dryers. It is what it is, expecting this is quite silly. The quality of drinks can be quite a subjective thing but we have had no issues. Nothing wrong with Bacarra or Lionel by the way rock snobs, the venue literally hosts a cheesy pop night most Saturday nights. Trust me, as a regular I can vouch that there is more than enough rock and metal played throughout the week. Agree on the dress code comments though, needs to be clearly stated at the front of the bar to save confusion.

Saw this place while walking in the city centre, it caught our eye so we decided to pop in for a pint. We ended up staying until after midnight :D Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and people. We were lucky to be there on an open mic night. We loved the live music. Will definitely visit again the next time we are in Belfast!

We actually found Voodoo by accident last year. We’d eaten at the restaurant across the street and thought we’d check out the pub next , and wow, it was such a fun night! Everyone there is so friendly, from the staff to the people hanging out, and the vibe is just really relaxed and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’d go back to anytime.

Nice pub, young people, punk ambiance, good beers, quite good

Been to Voodoo several times for gigs this year. Super venue and the staff are very helpful. Unfortunately the gigs are upstairs which potentially could have been a problem for us. We needed wheelchair access for my wife. She was able to get up the stairs while I carried her chair for her. This was the only issue we had but the venue did their very best to accommodate us. All round I'd recommend Voodoo to all my friends for gigs and atmosphere 👍

Love this pub. Great atmosphere. Great music. Perfect pub for pre gig drinks as well as watching a gig upstairs.

Nice bar friendly staff and a lovely pint of boundary beer, and some decent advice about what not to wear.

One of the best live venues in Belfast. It's as old as time itself. I've seen comedy gigs, metal nights, drum n bass, house music, hard techno. There's always something on upstairs. Downstairs there's a youthful, alternative atmosphere and it's a great place for a few beers during the day. The upstairs venue goes into the wee hours of the night. The Ulster sports bar is an institution amongst locals. I would highly recommend it to tourists and there's tons of cool swag to purchase.

This is my favourite after work bar in Belfast, the staff are incredible, it's as if there is a bug magnet in my pocket pulling me towards it for a wee pint, gigs upstairs as well as brewery on the top floor which also serves pizza

Emma mckibbin was an absolute delight pint were delivered quick and I am very satisfied with my pint and how beautiful and respectable your staff our ❤️

Stays open a bit later. Bouncers usually pretty pleasant tbh. Solid pub would recommend very highly

Was great until my card "declined" but money still left my account. Keep an eye on the card terminal and your phone when paying for drinks here.

Great place! Attended a small concert here situated upstairs. Great beer garden too and the back bar had a dj and dancefloor.

Really nice food, service was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good vegetarian options if you ask and freshly made. Reasonably priced. Good drinks menu.

Website is broken. No way to get in contact. Too late now but quite frustrating. Venue itself is upstairs. Pretty decent dance floor and booth seating. Bar reasonable and good music.

Great food and atmosphere would definitely recommend and visit here

Fantastic night, visited a few times, bands were brilliant

We held our wedding day two event upstairs here and it was so much fun! The venue was great, location was so easy and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Venue catered a finger food buffet for our guests and we got compliments on how good the food was!

Food delicious, great service, lively wee spot

Ok for a drink. Waitress a bit ditsy couldn't make out a word she said. Got the drinks order wrong but to be fair it wasn't on the bill. Very noisy if your wanting a quiet drink but nice decor.

One of the best nights out we had in Belfast! We went to Club Lux last night with a few friends. The music was on point all night. The DJ played a great mix – some house, some R&B, and loads of tunes we could actually dance to. The sound system is top-quality, and the dance floor had such a good energy. Staff were super friendly and professional. Even though it was busy, we didn’t wait long for drinks. It attracts a great crowd too – everyone just seemed to be out for a good time. We felt safe and welcomed the whole night, which definitely isn’t something we can say about every club. If you’re heading out in Belfast and want somewhere with great music, good vibes, Club Lux is definitely worth checking out.

Bouncers are short men with large egos, one of the bouncers actually went home with a girl who was clearly off her face, absolutely disgusting. 1 boy was fighting and floored about 3 people, he was not taken off the premises, bouncers want the job but can’t do it. Bar staff are lovely and accommodating. Music was also terrible for £10 entry.

Had a great late afternoon and evening here. Great atmosphere and live music. Recommended

Lovely service. A bit small but lovvvvvvved the vibe nevertheless. Great selection of songs too. Although they could've used the club lights - the ones that go on and off to the beat. They barely did it for two seconds and it had such potential to elevate the experience.

Bouncers were awful, had a guy constantly harassing me (who was clearly out of it), his mates were recording me and coming up to my face cursing at me, told the bouncer and all he said was to keep my distance, spoke to the guy to keep his distance as well then the bouncer disappeared, the guy came up to me again to harass me so I left, as a woman I felt completely unsafe and disrespected. Bartenders that served me were lovely.

Staff horrendously horrible about what clothes are apparently appropriate, I was wearing the same as a friend who got let in but got turned away, no apologies and incredibly mean, please avoid this if possible

Live music and the atmosphere really gets to vib'n. Good place to have drinks

Very nice cocktails, they are absolutely delicious!!But the management lets it down. The manager himself is alot of fun and very attentive, but the venue itself has some fundamental issues. There is only 1 WC for both genders. This is not appropriately cleaned, and gets very messy very quickly…Second problem, nothing to eat, which is a real downer when you’re having a drink. Overall, I would not visit again. It’s good for ONE cocktail, that’s about it.

Love the new Liquor! Tried their brand new cocktail menu tonight and it was absolutely great. Service was also exceptional with Mojito behind the bar and ofcourse Colly was amazing! 10/10 will be back x

We had a great time at Liquor XXX. My friend Thom especially enjoyed the beautiful photos. His favourite was the one with the man's bottom

There are truly no words in the Oxford dictionary to depict this experience I have just been accustomed to. Truly stupendous. If the word Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was ever applicable to a scenario it would be this experience for me. Mojito and Colly the men you are. Fantastic. Would recommend this bar to my friends family enemies and everyone in between. 6 stars.

Visited on Friday night. Loved the aesthetic. Although not sure why it is advertised as being open until 1am. We were told they were supposed to close at 11pm, but as customers came in, they stayed open. After 11.30 they refused to serve wine, or any cocktails from the menu. Only bottled drinks or pints on draught. We felt like an inconvenience for being there.

If you are a tequila or mezcal drinker like me, this is a must in Belfast!! Another bartender from a different bar recommended it to us, so you know it’s good. I had the tequila colada and my husband had the penicilina. Nice overall vibe and great service too. It was empty when we went but we were here on a Tuesday. Would come back!

Been in Belfast for a week and have to say out of the many places I've been in this is 100% the best. Fantastic service and recommended amazing cocktails to suit our taste. Very friendly staff also. If I could rate higher I definitely would x

An amazing experience. Easy to get tickets at venue at no more than any online offers. Cafe served nice coffees and snacks whilst the seafood chowder and lambs stew for lunch in the restaurant were excellent. There were a couple of bottlenecks early in the story due to the coach parties but we skipped past this and soon found ourselves immersed for nearly 3 hours in a spectacularly well done experience.

Visited on Saturday which I am guessing is the busiest as it was packed. A very informative and interesting exhibition which spans from before the Titanic was built and every step of the way until present day. The ride was a great idea and the gift shop was large and full of stock. The experience was sobering at times but it is important to remember all involved in this historic tragedy.

Absolutely fantastic museum. Straight in to the top floor and work your way down. The first floor is all about the building of the ship, the lives of labourers and the town as a whole with information getting more emotional as the museum goes on. It's a walk through so easy to move along. Enjoyed the cable car ride too inside. Great artifacts, emotional in places. And the grand finale of the staircase with the ship above and ocean floor below was spectacular. One thing though- this is not the place for unruly children. When I visited some children were running around. There are interactive displays etc, but it did not feel OK to me that children were running screaming and laughing through such a tragic exhibit. I would recommend above 10yrs only. We even had children trying to run up the down escalator... not ok! Please show children respect or don't bring them so young... That being said,I would recommend a visit here. It's really special. I'd recommend 3 to 4 hours to get round properly. Food and a shop too as well as an outside space.

Tastefully done, immersive museum. There's even a short ride that takes you through the inner workings of ship building (can be bypassed though and you can get the same info by reading the placards if the line is too long). The ticket includes entry to the Nomadic, which you can visit before or after the Titanic. Note, there is a children's discovery game you can pick up for free at the museum and it does have questions regarding the Nomadic as well. If you drive, there are two parking lots on site that aren't a rip off.

It was super despite timed tickets and food those without audio guides the route wasn’t always obvious or logical. At various points numerous audio tracks were playing and it was really hard to hear and focus. Not good for send children and while I am sure the museum offers specific send sessions families with send children need to be asked to visit together. The outside outlines of the ships weren’t clear so were came back after dark to see them illuminated, only to find they weren’t working properly, that part felt dated. Some great stuff in there, but likely to miss it due to poor route and/or some of the party becoming overwhelmed, particularly at busy times. Great building design wise.

Absolutely fabulous museum and easily the best experience I've had visiting something like this. From the architecture of the building to the high quality design of the displays and even the gift shop is tasteful. A great day out for all the family.

Recently visited Titanic Belfast exhibition while holidaying from Australia as I'm fascinated by the history. Specifically visited Belfast to see this exhibition and it did not disappoint. I booked a White Star Premium Pass tour prior to walking through the exhibition. Lasted 90 minutes and is an outside walking tour. I think Peter was our guide and he was fantastic. So knowledgeable and history of the area shared that I wouldn't have got just from walking through the exhibition. It was busy - went on the weekend and got busier the later in the day that it got. If busyness bothers you, go earlier in the day as it was quite empty. Definitely worth the money. It's an exhibition that's well done.
