Pub in Belfast

“Fab food,very reasonable prices,great service”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

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

“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. .”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“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!”

“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.”

“Craic always good in here staff very friendly”

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