Boneyard in Belfast

After reading all the hype about the reopening with new food vendors I wanted to go. Wings and a burger was what we were looking forward to. Arrived around 320 ordered 10 wings Jack Daniels sauce & salt and chilli ones. Went back up after 25 minutes as there was no sign of them. Spoke to 2 other people who were having them same experience. Mine arrived after a 25 minute wait. Hiburger is just beside Wingit. I went to ask about ordering a burger in case it was going to be the same wait. It was now 350. The guy said we are closing at 4 for an hour. As I hoped to leave again before 5 that was no use to me. Wings were delicious. Pint of Citrus IPA and Pinot grigio also good. How ever there was now a lengthy queue at the bar. I went back to speak to the guy at Hiburger to find out why the hour closure. He said they did that at all their venues. It was good to reset the kitchen. He said their hours were on Instagram. Fair enough but this needs to be on the Boneyard website as well. If I had known this I would have left my visit to a time when both places were open. So if your going to Boneyard on Friday or Saturday Hiburger is closed between 4 and 5. Hiburger is open on Sunday between 12 and 6. Pizza and Wingit doesn't close between 4 and 5.

"Urgent Request for Noise Reduction at The Bone Yard" As a resident and student within the local community, I feel compelled to share my concerns about The Bone Yard, which regrettably leads to a zero-star rating. The primary issue arises from the loud music the restaurant plays, often extending until 1 or 2 AM. This noise level is particularly challenging for us as students who rely on a quiet environment for studying. While I understand the need for a vibrant atmosphere in a restaurant, it is essential to balance this with the peace of our neighbourhood. I believe that The Bone Yard could benefit from reconsidering its late-night music policy to foster goodwill within our community and ensure compliance with local noise guidelines. A more community-conscious approach could enhance the restaurant's reputation and prevent potential legal misunderstandings. I hope this feedback is received in the constructive spirit it is intended. I look forward to seeing positive changes that respect both the restaurant's ambience and the community's needs.

Possibly visited here wrong time of year as it's outside and was very quiet. The food trucks weren't open. Can imagine it would be great in summer.

Nice location and atmosphere.. we were visiting Belfast for weekend and came across this establishment . However, the cost and quality of the cocktails we ordered was not up to scratch. Two tiny cups of mojito, less than 300mls and mainly ice was £15.90. Extremely expensive for what we got, I was disappointed.

We went to The Bone Yard to watch rugby. The place was so packed, great vibes and atmosphere to hang out at.

Didn't have food but it dis look good. Was a great atmosphere abs the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The toilets (even though were portaloos) were clean.

Excellent place for a summer Saturday drinks with friends. Excellent service and loved the music. Variety of ages attending too. The food is an absolute must ... simply mouth watering from both the pizza and the chips van. Will definitely be back

This was my 1st visit to The Bone Yard. We enjoyed a great night with our family and friends. Would definitely come back.

Nice place but very busy, more for the younger people. Live music playing, which was a bit loud. But it was nice & roomy. There is plenty of seating, but when busy, but may be waiting for a while to get a seat. I didn't have any food here, but there was a pizza stall & burger bar & Taco stand and another, which I can't remember what it sold,

Fantastic for an afternoon in the sunshine & for a night out. Very good drinks selection though don't sell alcopops like blue WKD etc. We went on Saturday 10th June there, it was emo music & loved it. I loved every other song & my friends loved all the music. It is a bar service, you go to the bar for drinks. The same applies with the food 'stalls'. My friends & I will definitely be back time & time again.

Good for the Summer time.. wouldn't like to be female having to use the portable toilets

Bar staff slow, not a great crowd

1st time here and was amazing will be back

Great bar and good music, natasha served me most of the time and was so lovely, great service!!

Very cool spot with covered tables and a few options for drinks.

Good vib, friendly bar staff 👍🏼

Unimaginably loud music, better learn sign language if you want to have a conversation with someone

Nice place to visit, The venue does not take cash which is annoying, and is quite expensive, but there is a great young vibe to the place. The whole venue seemed non judgemental which is something that more places need to adopt. Lovely and warm under the heat lamps even in mid September The staff were very friendly and on the ball with things. Good range of music as well. Well worth a visit

Expensive for drink in plastic marked tumblers. Portaloos - not great. Better to venture into Wetherspoons and use a proper toilet. Basically it’s the rear of the buildings of that row, has a tarpaulin tent up, fake grass on the ground, picnic tables, patio heaters and portaloos. You can get food from a truck parked in the place. A guy looking after the toilets was selling stuff - a candy lollipop for £1! His table was covered in 4 packs of toilet roll. This place is random!

Booked a table for 9 people for birthday party 3 taxis to the place only 2 be told we can't go in because 1 person was tipsy some crack to my other 8 guests that's bad you would get better door staff in Castle Street

lots of seats, Gross toilets, loved the slushie

1 of the best beer gardens I've been in will diffenitly be back plenty of space loads of seating and pods only problems are the queues for bar.

It looks amazing, love the graffiti art work and the covered area. Such a cool vibe. However the queue for the bar was so so slow which was a bit of a let down.

Nice outside space but very poor facilities. None of the portaloos had toilet roll, just a little grubby in general

For young ones only loud music long ques at the bar

Good atmosphere and great food. I had cajun chicken topped fries. The gentleman in the scran van was very patient with all my questions about the food. The only down side here is the toilets. They are not the cleanest and I recommend you take your own toilet roll. We wouldn't stay for longer than 2 drinks now due to this

Nice to sit in the sun, expensive pint.

Brilliant spot. Could do with more rock music but well setup and a lively place.

Food was delicious. Must try cajun chicken here!

Didn't know the bar existed. Had a great time and good prices for city centre Belfast

Good spot for big crowds. Live music and good food trucks

Boy has this gone downhill. Started visiting during lockdown due to open air and found the whole place and experience really good, but very recent visit and really disappointing. The layout of the tables and booths and quality of them is thrown together to squeeze as much as you can in, the bar staff have obviously lost touch with customer service and clueless about barrel management preferring to just gulder with each other and also the table clearing staff must have been off that day. Thank goodness there are lots of other better options in the area.

Great outdoor atmosphere. Drink options aren't the best.

Great outdoor atmosphere, love it

Seems decent, couldn't find any faults. Has lots of space, outside but also covered seating with heaters.

It's a good outdoor space. Which has a canvas roof and picnic benches. A few nice armchairs on the side livingroom style. Place was empty and still a queue for the bar. Bar wasn't stocked with basics like whiskey.. Portaloos out the side when you need to go.

Fajne miejsce na wypad ze znajomymi na piwo, prowadzi do niego klimatyczne wejście. Kilka miejsc do siedzenia w różnym stylu, w weekend grał dj, można było kupić piwo.

Booked a container at the Bone Yard for 3pm for the Gold Cup (they had specifically advertised they were showing it). When we turned up the place wasn't even open and didn't plan to open until later that evening. Had to make other plans. Pretty disappointed not to even be contacted to be told before turning up

Great outdoor bar with a large area and plenty of seats, covered and no covered. Nice design with container style booths available as well as more picnic style benches. Food van also available offering tasty food when you get hungry. If you like The Bone Yard you should check out Pug Ugly’s down the street which is owned by the same company.

Lovely atmosphere and very beautifully decorated and lots of space, drinks are very expensive and the only toilets are portaloos other than that it was lovely

Boneyard is a good spot for groups and relatively covid-safe apart from the toilets. It didn't appear that they were cleaned regularly and the girls had no soap or sanitiser in them? Might be an idea to have more sanitiser points around. They also charge you an non-refundable £5 per head for a seat for 2.5 hour booking which doesn't come off of your bill which i think is a bit steep. Drink prices are average, food is very nice.

The only photo I can share of the food from this place is my empty plate! I got the halumi burger from the food truck in the bone yard and it was absolutely out of this worls, I would not hesitate to travel back here for that burger alone! The atmosphere in the boneyard was also lovely, loads of seating options and great selection of drinks

Visited here with friends recently and quite honestly I`ll never be back as some of the staff are just incredulous regarding how they speak to the customers.Downright rude and seem to be on some sort of power trip. Management needs to address this quickly or their custom is going to take a major hit on their investment of somewhere that could be a really good venue. The food was a plus.

Food from the vans was fantastic. Night was however spoiled by unsmiling, unfriendly & incredibly rude bar staff. Got the impression serving drinks was beneath some of them; as was the ability to utter pleasantries such as please or thanks! Having worked in hospitality a long time I can honestly say I wouldn't employ the majority of them.

Ok venue. Booked and paid for a container for 9 people, our party was squashed into half a container with adequate seating for 6 people.

£7 for 4 mozzarella sticks £7.50 for pint of beer

Great atmosphere and Streat food

We got one of the containers for my hen night it reminded us of a living room piano included lol.Staff are all fab went about an beyond for us. great entertainment and atmosphere was electric. Fab night had by all. Well done

Great spot for a drink, went before going to a concert in Ormeau Park - really chill and good finger food. Staff in the food truck were super friendly and fun

booked for 4 people to ensure a seat, only to be emailed that my £20 is non refundable! £20 to sit down absolutely ridiculous!!!! you could at least take it off the food bill. Sangria was vial, it was a mix of ice and lemonade and paid £12 for it. absolute rip off!! The only saving grace was the food, the food truck served lovely food with lovely service! you could do better bone yard! Never book a table here people!

The food is worth the trip. However football over the loud speaker on a saturday girls day out, the £60 deposit to get in, having to que at the bar and the drinks are questionable. Thanks but no thanks. Not what we thought we would be getting. The manager Helen is lovely though.

There Boneyard is a class joint. Good music, good vibes, no trouble and quality service. A great place for anyone and everyone to have fun. The whole time we hadn't a bother in the world. Everyone was kind and welcoming. A great spot for a hens or stag night. A true class act in Belfast.

Very pleasant time spent sitting in the sun. Friendly bar staff.

Was there on Saturday wouldn't recommend the place for hens as they werslow with drinks and then bring the wrong drinks bouncers wer rude and we didn't do anything wrong told us to drink up as are table time was nearly up wen we had a hour and half left to go and they charge you to sit outside in a hub won't be back and it was our first time there

So good!! Staff were amazing - brilliant music & atmosphere. 10/10

Great beer garden and very spacious

Great in the sun with street food as well

Great service, surroundings and atmosphere. Amazing food from the food truck as well with a lovely chef

The food from the van was unreal. Highly recommend coming here. The staff are lovely and everyone is so friendly. The food we got from G was amazing. Top service!

£30 booking fee I think not, sing for it bone yard! Not only was your email RUDE and DISCERNING, you have now resulted in a very UNHAPPY COUPLE!!!!!! Do better.

Great place. Excellent staff, very friendly and professional. Fantastic atmosphere and plenty of heaters under the canopy to keep warm

terrible serive, bar staff were nice, boncers were terrible group, never meet a group of arrogant over aggressive men im all my days and im from Belfast , nasty unhelpful. wouldn't be back.

Amazing food! Massive portions on the loaded fries! Think i had the pulled pork loaded fries and them and the chicken burger was fantastic! Highly recommended!

Great comedy night with brilliant service

Nice and spacious beer garden in the city center! Best place to hang out and great music!

Starz say it all, Great Place / Service/ value / Welcome, No Scamdemic Police 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Beer is warm and orders took ages but good food and buzz

Quirky back yard boozer, with good street good

Brought me a warm bottle of Prosecco and no ice bucket. To say im horrified is understatement of the year! Worst service I have ever seen in my life!

Bouncers are so friendly, service was a bit slow but for such a booming bar it’s understandable! So handy to order drinks on the app and the drinks were unreal! Amazing atmosphere too

This place was funky snf fun. Loved being able to order table service online.

Nice place to drink but table service was very slow

The good stuff - nice burger truck, decent seating on sunny day and the online ordering works well. The bad - uniquely in Belfast they charge you an nonrefundable £5 per head for a seat for three hours, and if you get to the end it's extremely unlikely you'll get another, even if (as we did) you ask right at the start. Service can be very slow and the toilets are pretty appalling.

Great wee spot for drinks and food. Wed booked a pod but it was such a sunny day that we didn’t use it. We treated ourselves to some lunch from pugs street food. Made fresh and delicious by a friendly and accommodating chef for the fussy vegan and vegetarian in our group.

Very good beer garden with a wonderful atmosphere

Beer was 100% however one of our party ordered Hendricks Gin and we are not sure what 'alternative' was in the glass. No taste and no smell of the serving (a bit like having Gin Covid). The table app serving takes a bit of time so allow 10-15 mins before seeing your order. Staff very friendly though......only major downpoint was the substandard gin serving.

Lovely place to go for a drink with your dog. Good distance between tables and all outdoors with a covered area. Table service was difficult to get attention at times. Might be useful to have something to hold in the air when you want you put another order in. But in general, table service was very efficient and quick. Staff were really pleasant and were constantly on the go trying to provide a good table service. In particular, Patrick, who served us a few times was very polite and very quick with our order. Will definitely be back again.

Great place for outdoor drinking

Lovely spot for a few drinks but service is quite slow. No masks on any staff or anyone going back and forth from bathrooms. One bar woman kept grabbing glasses by the rims while she was putting them on the bar before they were brought down to tables. Not appropriate or clean.

Really nice place, drinks were great. Food can had really good fast. For oldies like me it was difficult to work the order app. I would highly recommend. Just would be nice if they could take contact less payments

Myself and my sister went for lunch in Pug Uglys and got the super chip and pulled pork nachos from Pugs Street Food, it was so tasty! The pork is all done in house, had such great flavour. The chef was also very friendly. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, what more could you want!

Absolutely terrible service only good thing about it is the food truck

Everyone friendly and helpful and covid regulations followed to a tee 👌🏻

Grt food from the portacabin..and wat a spot..

Horrendous service. Waited over an hour per drink. Saw our drinks sitting on bar for over 20 minutes with no one doing anything about it, especially seen as we’re not allowed to go up to collect them. Would not recommend. Staff were ridiculously rude when asked about drinks also. Avoid at all costs.

Qued for 45 minutes with only 5 people before us just to be told they won't let anyone in anymore. The answer we got from the security was " nobody asked you to que!!" In a very disrespectful way

Great for outdoor drinks and food, plenty of space, good app service

69th review, nice, especially Nicole

Me and my girlfriend visited The Boneyard yesterday evening for a few drinks. The service was consistently efficient. In particular, staff member Kelly was so polite and professional throughout the whole evening. She was extremely knowledgeable on the drinks in offer. Would highly recommend this place for an evening out.

We had a table booked which on the phone was referred to as a deposit but as we learnt you don't get it back so its a booking fee. In the end we didn't mind as it assured our covered booth for 2.5 hours and they were kind enough to notify us of another table opening up at the end of our alloted time. Ordering via the app is fairly easy but they did ask that we buy rounds as if made things easier on the bar (need to consider that isn't always an option). The drinks menu was somewhat limited as the cocktails are made in slushie machines they often have to wait for them to freeze enough to serve. I was also surprised to see there was no rum on the menu. The food truck is a great addition with loads of options and plenty that would work as a table share. I ordered the nachos and was happily surprised at the portion size and how delicious everything was. Bathrooms are a step above a portaloo and could do with more monitoring as they weren't the cleanest but perhaps to be expected from a bar on a Friday Night.

Really good day out here. Lovely staff.

Amazing place to sit out for the afternoon having drinks.

Great girly day yesterday. We started off sitting round a barrel were it was quite windy and cold. Was promised once a bench became available we could move, which we did. Atmosphere was great, and handy that we could also get food, which was lovely. We stayed all day and will deffo be back 😃😃

Absolute shambles! Staff useless! Go next door to Spoons! Not even worth the one star!

Always enjoy a drink here but the glasses were absolutely boggin, had to ask for a clean one....it came back rinsed and still stained with lipstick and other unknown bits......clean your glasses guys....not hard!

Great outdoor area with a food vendor! Limited drinks choices. Could do with a canopy for when it rains as there is limited coverage. I assume due to current covid regulations.

Good pints would be great in summer .

Great service and atmosphere, staff are so friendly and accommodating! the Bone Yard is definitely a hidden gem 💎

Lovely lunch with my sister and 2 friends, we haven't met for months so wanted somewhere safe and well managed and we weren't disappointed. I had e mailed twice on the Friday for Sunday lunch, but unfortunately never got a reply, however this wasn't a problem as it was quite early in the day. We had a Sharing Platter for 4 and it was lovely, the staff were great and couldn't have done more for us. The only down side was that they didn't have any large bottles of red wine and we had to buy 4 small one's, a bit more expensive, but all in all we had a lovely lunch and felt safe in this Covid era!

Good spot and very good service. Just a little chilly at times! Other than that very good.
