The 30 Best Grill pub in Belfast

“Had my daughter’s christening at McEnaneys and couldn’t recommend it higher. Food was lovely, DJ great and staff were excellent. A great value for money. Thank you!”

“Couldnt fault it...really great food atmosphere and staff really friendly ...went with my son got two courses each a wee pint each and all for under 20 quid couldnt beat it”

“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 :)”

“Clean tidy great food excellent staff and service.”

“Fab fab fab. I hired the room upstairs for a baby shower and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful! Shout out to Laura who was lovely and even made the mum to be a fantastic mocktail. Food was great and it was the perfect event space.”

“Absolutely some of the best food we've ever eaten! My boyfriend and I came for a meal this evening and were greeted with a lovely warm welcome from Ethan who served both our drinks and food. The service was 10/10, Ethan was so polite and friendly. We had squid and mac and cheese to start (both absolutely beautiful), followed by chicken and chorizo cajun pasta, and a ribeye steak. The steak was cooked to PERFECTION, it literally melted in your mouth, the best steak we've ever had for sure! We'll 100% be back if we're ever in Bangor again, 10/10 for everything, no faults whatsoever! Xx”

“We had a great Christmas dinner here. The meals were delicious, the service was pleasant and helpful and the atmosphere was lovely but comfortable”

“I haven't been in eight south for some time, and I can't remember why that was so, because after having a lovely family dinner for 5 last Saturday, I will certainly be back again soon. Great food, excellent service, and more than satisfactory prices made our visit an absolute pleasure. Yes Saturday afternoon is quieter than busy times like Friday or Saturday evening, but from my visit last week, I cannot recommend eight south any more highly.”

“Great cocktails good priced 2 for £13, was unreal and a great price hard to get nice cocktails and food theses days that are reasonably priced will defo be back”

“Was over in Belfast for a concert, and popped in here for tea. Expected nice pub grub...but it was far better than that. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the food utterly delicious, the best food I've eaten in the four days we had been away by far. Would recommend, and next time we are over here, will definitely call again...cheers!”

“Food is outstanding, chef really is Michelin* quality. best meal in a long time. Do not understand why so few diners! Such a great restaurant on our doorstep - with parking outside!! Pity not more people there!!”

“We had a fantastic night here for our party/family of 8 for our 40th Anniversary the staff were excellent and made sure everything went smoothly as my daughter had been over prior to our visit with a few extra requests. Fab family 3 course meal.”

“Really enjoyed lunch here today. Huge starter portions. Burger proper tasty. Drinks a little slow but overall I would definitely revisit. (Think I would book next time as very busy and we were fortunate to get fitted in without one!)”

“Brilliant food and atmosphere, also serving a lovely cider called angry orchid. Went back the next day for another pint!”

“Amazing food and staff very friendly.”

“Great place, tasty food. Our server was the absolute best! Very friendly and helpful and we never had to wait long. We came in on a Friday evening, music was sort of loud, which we would have expected. However, another table asked for the music to be pumped up even further, and at that point we were unable to hold a conversation. We wanted desert originally but then decided to leave as it was a bit too much. Would have easily been 5 stars otherwise - definitely recommend!”

“Nestled in Belfast’s vibrant heart, The Cloth Ear is a pub that doesn’t just serve food and drinks—it delivers a downright love letter to your senses. The menu is a culinary hug, with dishes so delectable they could make a stoic Ulster fry weep with joy. The lamb stew tastes like it was crafted by angels moonlighting as chefs, every bite is a revelation. The service? Unmatched doesn’t even cover it—think of the staff as your new best mates who somehow anticipate your every need with a wink and a smile. Whether you’re sipping a pint or savoring their sticky toffee pudding, The Cloth Ear wraps you in warmth and wit, making you wonder why you’d ever dine anywhere else. Five stars, and I’m already plotting my return.”

“Great food at a reasonable price, the burger and chicken burger were both massive and really well prepared. Our server was very efficient and friendly. The place is very spacious and has a pool table and gaming machines. They also have a large screen for football and sports for when events are showing. Good coffee also”

“Walked past for years, finally went in with my Husband and Mother in law for lunch last week. Food was absolutely delicious and the staff were outstanding. Will definitely be back and would recommend to all!”

“Lovely food and drink, inside our outside dining near the hustle and bustle of Victoria square”

“Really good food, hot on arrival. Attentive staff”

“My sister-in-law and I treated our 11 year old niece to a birthday lunch followed by a spa treatment and we had a wonderful meal. The portions were perfectly sized and the food delicious. The kids menu was great with our niece opting for the sausage and mash. The staff were friendly and helpful and, although we didn’t have one with us, it was wonderful to see dogs were allowed into the bar. Will definitely be back!”

“Came across this place looking for a nice simple place for dinner. The reviews looked good so we gave it a try. We weren’t disappointed. Its appearance is nothing special but the food was great! Had the fish and chips along with a salad and have to say it was probably one of the best pieces of fish I’ve had. Super crispy batter on the outside and a juicy piece of haddock inside. The young lady that served us was lovely and we enjoyed talking with her.”

“We hired the Celebration Terrace for our day two wedding event and we were blown away by this incredible venue and the service we received. The BBQ was delicious and the staff were so helpful. 10/10.”

“Every time I come here it’s always a fantastic experience. The staff are friendly & the cocktails are well made. Outdoor decor is perfect for summer and on Sunday there as it was a hot day they put a BBQ on and had a bouncy castle for the children. Highly recommend the Bellevue!”

“Excellent food and service. I had the chicken goujons and they were so tender and tasty. Wife had small caesar salad and it was a good size and very nice.”

“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.”

“Food was amazing, great atmosphere, exceptional service by Catherine. Highly recommend! Thank you.”

“Great bar. Spotless !!!. Service excellent. Everyone friendly. Best pint of harp in Belfast. Only complaint is ladies toilet could do with an extra clean.”

“We come here regularly for food and cocktails I must say it is always a 10/10 but tonight we didn’t know how to feel by the fancy writing on the valentines menu and it was just the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover it was honestly the nicest food ever. Everything cooked to perfection and not to mention the cocktails are always on point. The staff are all amazing and so friendly especially our regular waitress seaneen!!!”
