This was a surprising find: we expected to find an average/regular pub , but it ended up being a delicious gastropub with incredible food and great drinks options!
Great service, good selection of premium beers from around the world (including a few from the local micro breweries ), fine food and quirky loos - if a little expensive .
Great pub on a trendy street in Belfast. Plenty of outside tables to watch the world go by from. One of Belfast’s beautiful buildings too
Excellent food and atmosphere, as almost any place where we've been eating in Belfast. Waiters professional and very helpful
Adomas was a great waiter and gave good recommendations throughout our stay. Thank you!
Amazing food. The sharing roast is excellent
The staff have excellent uniforms. They look like a mixture of dockyard workers and village idiots. I'm sure their mothers are proud
Sticky toffee pudding is another level????????????
Belfast Baps are good, some of the servers a bit abrupt but I don't think they mean to be rude, maybe just not outrageously bright ....
Amazing cocktail menu, stunning venue and fantastic service. Needs Guinness on draught though! - Mark Makin
The homemade smoked salmon! If available, it’s a must! - Chiara Pedroni
Get guestlist and be there before 10.30! - Jason Addley
Absolutely stunning local food. If the veal sweetbreads are on the menu, order! Such a sweet, clean space. - Kim Pham
Great food downstairs, great pints upstairs, and all the beautiful Belfast ladies fill this place at the weekend. Make a night of it! - Tady Walsh
Outstanding spot! Rivals Dublin’s Chapter One but at a lower price point and more casual atmosphere. One of the best meals I’ve had in Europe. - Geoff Reinhardt
There is sometimes live music in the court. The bar is always full, a good sign for a good pub so far. I really like this pub - Lena Arent
Great beer and lovely chicken (only chicken, though) served in the restaurant upstairs. Plus live music every night. - Alison Gow
