Pub in Belfast

“Stopped by for lunch with my two daughters (3 and 6) after some swimming. It was a Saturday around 2 PM, and the bar was quiet; we were actually the only ones in the restaurant. Initially, we worried we'd made a mistake. Thankfully, we hadn't! The staff were incredibly friendly and brilliant with my girls, and the food (chicken wings & cod and chips) was fantastic. However they prepared their wings, they were delicious—and I do love a good wing! The cod was beautiful, the tartar sauce was fresh, and the chips were perfectly fluffy and crispy. Overall, the experience truly lived up to the glowing reviews we'd read before going. They make their own Gin, beers, and whisky; I only tried the beer, but their inviting bar and outside area looked fantastic, so I'll definitely find an excuse to come back and try the rest. All in all, I'd highly recommend this spot if you're in the area. My only downside is that it's on the other side of Belfast from where I live! I hope to be back again soon.”

“Wonderful pub, excellent food and service at a very good price. Loved the entertain too. A good night out”

“Food was amazing, gourmet burger was delicious. Black forest gateau and the mochas are great too. Lovely staff, very helpful and a nice space to dine in.”

“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.”

“Visited here with a friend I was staying with in Bangor. We found the pub had a lovely atmosphere and the waiter serving us was lovely. I ordered the lasagne, which was deliciously prepared however maybe a little overdone but still tasty. My friend had the steak ciabatta, the temp was perfect and both our plates were scraped. Would certainly return for another visit to this local pub.”

“First time there last week, didn't need to book , the atmosphere was lovely with christmas songs playing. The staff where so helpful. Portion sizes where big and was delicious. I got fish and chips and my hubby got the sirloin steak. Will most definitely be back.”

“Christmas lunch for 18 people! Delicious, prompt, hot and very generous servings. Really lovely desserts too. All looked so nicely presented as well as yummy. Congratulations and thank you to the chef and table staff on a great lunch for us!”

“Overwood is beautifully decorated restaurant with wonderful engraved glass artwork on the walls. The menu was geared more to steak lovers but found some excellent alternatives in the monkfish dish accompanied by baked baby potatoes with Parmesan and glazed carrots. Our starters were excellent too. I enjoyed a delicious celeriac salad with raisins and apple and smoked broccoli. Very unique flavour and very tasty. Portions were generous so I had no room for dessert! Rachel was an excellent, friendly and highly efficient server. Thank you. We will be back!”

“We have been going here 10 years now and we love it,friendly staff..quick..always clean and presentable! The food is outstanding for the price..honestly I don't think you will find better value!”

“Amazing pub in the East. Great atmosphere. Lots of craft beers. The outdoor pizza oven is incredible. Semi-coed bathrooms. A variety of ages here. I would say 30-40 predominantly but there's also parents with kids and older folk too. Really good vibe.”

“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.”

“Had a burrito with my son yesterday and the young lad, Dara, that served us was just a lovely lad. Friendly and could wrap a burrito in a way this 40 year old woman still hasn't managed. Credit to the business and his parents.”

“Great pub right in the heart of the Shankill Road. Friendly staff and customers. Love all the history on the walls. Best pint of Guinness you will ever have.”

“Best Guinness zero in the city . Staff consistently friendly and efficient. Top marks to Padraig and his team.”

“Dog friendly. Went for a evening meal and drinks with my partner and our dog. Great service from the start. Had some small plates between us and shared the special which was all brilliant. Curtis even went the extra mile and got my fiancée some olives when she chanced her arm after seeing they weren't on the menu. All in all a great night, cocktails were fantastic and would definitely go back!”

“It's a karaoke pub and honestly the atmosphere was great. Young or old everyone participates and everyone appreciates.”

“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!”

“Great bar.. A friend and I called in on Saturday to watch Man Utd match... Various tvs showing different matches and the place pretty busy... Although the upstairs bar wasn't open, the owner kindly put a TV on for my friend and I to watch upstairs.... Great atmosphere and great Guinness. .”

“One of the best liquor stores in Northern Ireland. Great selection of craft beers at great prices, wonderful choices of wine, nice that you can drink in and pay a corkage. And did I mention they have big bags of Keoghs crisps! Worth the track from Belfast.”

“Great bar. Interesting mix of drinks with traditional and one's with a twist. Good service and a really good playlist. The Vogue (coffee negroni) was spectacular”

“Fantastic bar.... especially if you like football. Excellent staff, reasonable price pints. Friendly crowd. Highly recommend this bar”

“Food was incredible, great portions, definitely be back!”

“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.”

“Great bar reasonably priced drinks (£3 a pint)always someone to talk if your there on your own highly recommend”

“In for a few pints great guiness here and smoking area out back”

“First time ever been here, great wee place , nice room and handy parking on site”

“Great pub with friendly staff, nice beer garden and great snooker tables.”

“Lovely place we where made very welcome.”

“10/10 pizza, no exaggeration. Tacky and toothsome sourdough, fresh tomato sauce, high quality ingredients. Ready in around 15-20 mins, 100% worth the wait.”
