Opera house in Belfast

“Went to see The Nutcracker, love going to GOH as such an elegant building. We arrived early for pre show drinks and took the opportunity to pre-order for the interval so our drinks were available at allocated spot. I thought drinks prices were reasonable for an entertainment venue (just under £28 for 4 vodka & 2 coke). The spiral staircase can be a bit dodgy when some people decide they own the space so if you’re a bit unsteady there is a lift front left as you enter, or there’s a back staircase with normal treads just past door A. The one downside to the venue is that there is no cloakroom so you will have to keep your coat with you, not an issue in summer but more problematic for a winter performance. The venue is easy to get to from the train station or city centre and there are plenty of hotels nearby if you’re staying over.”

“Spent 2 nights here and cannot complain about anything. From checking in to checkout everyone was so helpful and friendly. Lovely clean room, nice breakfast. Perfectly situated with 5 minutes walk to the shops, loads of bars and restaurants nearby. Only downside was the cost of a taxi from the Airport £49. But we got the bus back £9. Will definitely return thanks for a lovely stay.”

“Great venue, big enough to feel like an event, small enough to feel intimate, no bad seats. Bright, fresh, still feels new years after it was built. Drinks pricey but all concert venues are the same. Superb venue.”

“Absolutely fantastic food, brilliantly unique classic tapas. Plenty you'd not see anywhere else. Service was very good. Vick was a gentleman, he put in a lot of effort. Overall couldn't fault the experience in anyway. 6 dishes, 2 drinks, a dessert, tea and coffee came to £103.”

“Enjoyed a beautiful Christmas lunch with family in Howard Street on Saturday 6/12/25 - the food was sublime and service from staff warm and welcoming. Would recommend and we are looking forward to our next visit..”

“Excellent night at the Ulster Hall. The building itself is an absolute beauty, take time to look at the rescued paintings in the corridor next to the bathrooms. We saw Campbell and Jenson supporting the fantastic Lyle Lovett. The acoustics were superb, seats comfy and the venue staff were very helpful. A brilliant night.”

“Fantastic food - tasty, well presented and full of flavour. The service was excellent and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Good variety of dishes for vegetarian, fish and meat eaters which our party consisted of. A great recommendation from a friend Would definitely return.”

“The Crescent is a great venue and quite intimate too. Have seen a few bands here and always enjoy it. No drinks license, so it’s a case of bring your own wine or beer only. Glasses supplied.”

“Quick service and lovely food - the cauliflower poke bowl was full of a wonderful mix of flavours, sweet with a little of spice. A good choice of vegetarian/ vegan options available! Can also recommend the chocolate and fudge tart - it was the perfect finish to a meal if you don't fancy anything heavy or too sweet.”

“We held our We Believe 2025 event here ,nice place for large conference”

“Great lecture from Prof Alice Roberts! Thanks for organising NISF!”

“I had a fantastic experience at Europa Hotel. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect throughout my stay. The location was also ideal—close to restaurants, public transport, and key attractions. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!”

“Beautiful hotel in heart of Belfast. Everything is in close proximity by foot - no need for car. Staff is very nice and welcoming and we felt very nice and welcomed there. Room was amazing and clean, very quiet with AC and mini fridge., comfy bed, big TV with Netflix and big shower. We also had a breakfast- money well spent. Amazing service, food was amazing. One of the best breakfast we had in a hotel. Highly recommend if staying in Belfast”

“For all my jokes and upon reflection, this place was very good! The steak was very tender, mash and cabbage were buttery and indulgent and chips (for their size) were nice and crispy! I understand that part of the appeal of this place is that you finish your steak how you like on the hot stone. But for me, paying £70 for the chateaubriand, I would’ve liked the option for the chef to have cooked it for us. I would’ve like a bit of butter or oil, to assist with the cooking but other than that, jt was perfectly fine. It does get very hot, very smoky and you do leave smelling of steak”

“It was over 40 years since I was in Belfast and was delighted to see the huge changes that have happened since that time. Flame is a perfect example of these changes. Received excellent service and was very happy with the quality, quantity and price of my meal. Best wishes for the future.”

“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.”

“My favourite bar in Belfast! The food is delicious and huge portions, the service is wonderful and there are different rooms with different entertainment depending on what you want on the day- live music, pool, a bistro. Special shout out to Maria who really went above and beyond with customer service, particularly to reunite me with an item I left behind!!”

“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.”

“Natasha was absolutely incredible. Memorised all our drinks and treated everyone so amazingly. Will definitely be back just for this service alone. She deserves a raise.”

“Great atmosphere, very tasty food. Price are very moderate. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Design are nice. Highly recommend it.”

“It was a very good chinese restaurant. We have had two dinners in consecutive nights trying some traditional cantonese dishes, they were authentic, delicious and reasonable priced. We would have loved to try more dishes if staying a few more nights in Belfast.”
