The Jailhouse Bar, Pub in Belfast

Reviews

1. Simon Heffernan ★★★★☆

   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

   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.

   A popular bar frequented mainly by locals. A nice relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a nice pint. Can be hard to find a seat, friendly and efficient staff.

   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.

   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.

   The Jailhouse has great food and cocktails with excellent service. Tables inside and outside under cover. Hidden down Joy's Entry it is worth hunting out. For more formal dining choose Henry's, named after Henry Joy McCracken, the United Irishman who led the rebellion in Belfast.
