The 30 Best Grill pub in Belfast

“Found this place accidentally and I couldn't be more thankful! Easily one of the best, if not the best, meal of my life. My party of four had: duck, ribs, lamb, and superfood salad as mains and sticky pudding for dessert. It was absolutely incredible! If you have the opportunity it is WELL worth your time. I'd rate this higher if it were possible. Delicious!”

“Had a great fry this afternoon with a mate , the food was super and the lady who served us was lovely and couldn't have been more welcoming. Will be back without a shadow of doubt”

“What a beautiful place to find on your birthday weekend. Didn't have a booking & it was busy as, nevertheless, the staff welcomed us in, found us a table, & we had the most stunning meal that we've had in a long time. Definitely 1 to search for if your out on your travels & looking a quaint eaterie. Delicious.”

“Great staff and bartender, cute patio out back and plenty of room to dine or drink and listen to live music”

“Popped in the Royal yesterday on a trip over from England and what a friendly pub with a cracking pint of harp. Thank you to the lovely people in there for making us so welcome.”

“Amazing place for drink with friends,not busier but silent place for gossip etc.”

“Easily the best bar in town. Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere and always enjoy our day's/nights out here”

“Traditional pub with delicious food, cosy atmosphere with open fires going in winter time”

“Reliable favourite. Absolutely flawless food, seasonal flavours and always a warm welcome. Alistair just made the evening. Good value for money when it comes to quality and service. Great wine menu.”

“I stopped by here for lunch a couple of months back and couldn't believe how good the food was. So much so that I talked my family into getting the family platter and has now become a regular thing. Have tried pretty much everything off the menu and haven't been disappointed. If I have any negatives it would be, on one occasion I think they ran out of chicken and I had a 40 min wait on more being cooked(I assume it's oven cooked then grilled) but it was resolved well and I would have waited anyway. Staff are great, friendly and willing to help. The selection of sauces set out for people to try is a great idea for people who've never been before. Hands down the best place for a cheat day!”

“First time here, always heard good things and it did not disappoint. Food was amazing with big portions. Staff were very friendly. Came on a Thursday afternoon and place was quiet but nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back!”

“The meal was better than I expected, to be honest. Especially given the reasonable pricing. The seafood chowder was served piping hot and was thick and fresh tasting. The brisket rigatoni was delicious. Plenty of beef in the dish and the sauce was slightly sweet. Didn't have a dessert because the servings were enough. Would return.”

“Fab food,very reasonable prices,great service”

“A very nice elevated burger joint. Service was very good, the food came quickly and was delicious. We had the Korean chicken dirty fries and Korean chicken burger with sweet potato fries, then got a milkshake to go. All the fries were perfectly crispy and the sauce was tasty. The prices are reasonable. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to others”

“Lovely wee pub/inn. Was very busy when we were there but the service was still very quick and we were never left waiting long. Our food was 10/10 couldn't fault it. I'll post pics of the food so you can see what we got. I HIGHLY recommend the haddock!”

“Charming and cosy pub, attentive and welcoming staff and great prices! Would definitely recommend a visit!”

“Great bar. The bar lady was nice. And this is coming from a devout Catholic, I was treated like anyone else! The men in there are a bit rough, but I'm rough too, I just look pretty. But service is excellent.”

“This pub was a really nice find. Everyone was so friendly and we had such a lovely time in there”

“The Rock Bar on the Falls Road is a must-visit after a Troubles tour. With its dark history tied to Belfast’s past, this traditional pub offers a unique atmosphere where history and hospitality meet. Once a hotspot during the conflict, it now serves as a welcoming local bar with a great pint of Guinness and friendly patrons. The walls whisper stories of the past, making it a fascinating stop for those interested in Northern Ireland’s history. A proper Belfast experience—rich in character, culture, and a reminder of the city’s resilience.”

“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!”

“Thanks to Cathy and her welcoming clientele for making my first ever pint(s) in Belfast a warm, welcoming and memorable experience!! Stay safe guys until we meet again.”

“Looking for food in Antrim ? Make for Top Of The Town…great service with staff welcoming and friendly. Food was delicious. Best food close to airport.”

“This has to be one of the most friendliest pubs in Antrim, great food too. There is an old saying "there are no strangers in this bar, only friends who haven't met yet" this is very true of this bar.”

“I'm a Portadown fan and we booked hospitality for 30 people from our local club Richhill Reds. Always very well looked after, decent food and excellent staff, we will definitely be back. Well done Crusaders for giving us a great welcome.”

“Great food at fantastic prices and excellent service. The staff are also lovely and friendly. I would highly recomend this wee place.”

“Very tasty burgers, I had the one with fired Camembert. It was delicious! And not to mention the sweet potato fries sent me to heaven. Warmly recommend this place. Book upfront! I was alone and they made exception to accommodate me on one bar table.”

“Shout out to Mairead for her professional friendly service on Saturday 30th August. Nothing was a bother to her.We had a great family 40th birthday party. The buffet was delicious. Definitely recommend.”

“Had lunch here on 02/09/2025. Marvellous variety on the starters/lightbites menu - loads of unusual dishes, so we were spoiled for choice. Chose beef nachos and the crab claws in an Asian sauce with a cheese and onion bap. Everything was delicious, well presented and great portions. The sauce with the crab was so tasty, I used my teaspoon to eat it like a soup. Excellent altogether.”

“Went in on a very wet day. We were only going to have a couple of drinks but we decided to have their cheeseboard as a small snack. It was amazing value for money, lots of crackers, cheese and grapes, with a vwry tasty chutney for some sweetness. Staff were very friendly and efficient. The icing on the cake though was the coal fire, roaring away and keeping us toasty warm.”

“What a cracking find! Not only can you get a great heart warming meal, there is live music too (downstairs bar). The staff were very polite and welcoming. Excellent evening out. Highly recommended.”
