“Very lovely place, staff were great and food delicious”

“Went for lunch and was really satisfied. Food was very tasty. Service was prompt and pleasant. Prices were very reasonable. Setting was also nice and atmosphere was pleasant. It was quite busy as we were leaving which was a good sign. Would definitely go back. Great to see such a vibrant place in Conway Mill.”

“Great wee country pub, craic was mighty, fully recommend it”

“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.”

“Had a family meal and was out of this world . Chicken noddle soup to start and and chicken stack for main . 10/10. Kids meals perfect also . Our server (Caroline) went over and above to look after us as my wife is very fussy and always finds something to point out and Caroline took all on board and sorted it out perfectly. I would highly recommend this palce”

“I didn't stay, just called in to see a friend play. The food looks amazing and the staff are all lovely”

“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!”

“Great food. Sever even brought my wife some lasagne which she had never tasted before with a little candle on it because it was her birthday too.”

“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.”

“Absolute great place to hang with friends. Had a great time at The Voodoo on Halloween 31/09/25. Staff friendly and hard working even on a busy day. 10/10 would recommend”

“Come over from Liverpool, and what a place. Walked in about 1245 Wednesday afternoon, and the atmosphere was busy. I was expecting to wait but had the option to go upstairs with a view. Food was mouth watering, flavours didn't disappoint. Waiter could improve but felt sorry as felt lost an confused with a drinks order to the wrong table, bless her. The owner was top notch, good crack, a friendly approach. Did mention a top recommended burger was there signature dish. So sure enough of our last day in Belfast we made sure to visit. I myself got the combo burger that came with the chicken wings and everything was do precisely, really enjoyed this, closing the chapter of our holiday on a good note.”

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

“Really delicious food. Waiters were super nice and gave me a laugh. There was a crazy lady at the table next to me (seriously. I've never seen someone act like that in public - no way she was sober) so that was good entertainment and the staff handled it really well. Props to them for that. The blackberry panacotta was really delicious!! And the mignonette for the oysters was perfect. A bit pricy but very good food, I wasn't mad about my bill”

“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”

“Booked for 11 on a Saturday evening after a recommendation and very impressed. Delicious food, amazing service and great atmosphere. Highly recommended and would book again in an instant”

“Make sure you book a table as it gets busy and rightly so. Great atmosphere, friendly servers. The food and tapas selection is great. If I had the belly space I would have ordered everything. Also if you have a late booking they have Happy hour on some amazing cocktails from 10 - 11pm. Highly recommended a visit.”

“Absolutely loved The Woodworkers! The staff were so lovely and welcoming. The space itself was cosy and relaxed, with a great atmosphere and really convenient being so close to the bar. Can’t wait to come back!”

“A brief visit to this pub which we liked a lot. Lovely staff and enjoyed listening to the guitarist/singer. We visited 3 pubs in the Cathedral Quarter and they were all great. Looking forward to going back and spending more time there.”

“For a delightful surprise in bustling Belfast, pop into The Dark Horse! Tucked away, it's a witty escape whether you're after a swift drink, coffee, or dessert between sights. Step into the main room and you'll swear you're in Kensington Palace, but venture to the outdoor patio and you're plunged into a riot of satirical mural art. Don't miss it!”

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

“Amazing place, a beautiful gem. We had some pints with seafood chowder, Irish stew and chicken wings. Everything was delicious, and the portions were quite generous. Also, out server ( I wish I had asked his name) was very friendly and helpful 100% recommend!”

“As regular patrons of Northern Lights we’ve come to deeply appreciate the bar’s consistent excellence in both its beer selection and its atmosphere. It’s a space that strikes a rare balance: relaxed yet vibrant, accessible yet discerning, and welcoming even to families with children. The recent Aurora Beer Festival, held over two days, was a particularly impressive expression of the bar’s ethos—a carefully curated celebration of the local and regional craft beer scene. Among many excellent pours, the standout was a superbly rich imperial stout from White Hag in Sligo—bold, complex, and the perfect centrepiece for a festival of this kind. Special credit is due to Aidan, who not only delivered his usual attentive and well-informed service, but also took on the considerable task of organising the entire festival. The result was an event that felt cohesive and seamless—no doubt benefiting from the structured, analytical mindset he brings to both the bar and, as we’ve gathered, his scientific research. That dual expertise showed in everything from the thoughtful pacing to the clarity of presentation. Northern Lights continues to distinguish itself not by flash or trend, but by intention. It’s a place where hospitality feels genuine, where beer is taken seriously without being pretentious, and where events like Aurora reflect a quiet ambition to raise the bar for what a local can be. We’ll be back soon—as always—and are already looking forward to what comes next.”

“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!”
