Errigle inn in Belfast

Food mediocre for the price, £1.75 for a pint of diluted juice, really?

November 2024: Further updating this post with an image in response to the below Errigle reaction. April 2024: I am editing my review as part of a complaint against the rip off prices of the Errigle. It has gone way too far and I have also heard they are trying to hustle the other pubs on ormeau to up their prices as well. Disgrace of a place who don't give a damn about local people and the cost of living.

Great atmosphere. Fine food and a great pint of Guinness.

Great spot for a few pints before a match in Ravenhill. It gets extremely busy on a match day so get in early.

We called in today for what was supposed to be a full roast dinner well I received 2 tiny squares of meat two little hard roast potatoes spoonful mash no vegetables and the price was £19 !! I was speechless how can you possibly justify that! Unfortunately it was returned to kitchen I assume they had run out of food it was scandalous and years ago the roast dinner was always lovely but its a disgrace now.

Staff are lovely and food is sooo good .. great value for money .

Very cosmopolitan bar/restaurant with an eclectic range of beers, & a choice of some 3 or 4 real ales. Food excellent and staff always eager to please.

A nice place for a pint. Staff are friendly and there are several different rooms, the main room, a sports bar, the oak which is quiet and no screens and the upstairs rooms and rooftop. There is a large selection of drinks. It is, however, quite expensive for both drinks and food. We waited well over an hour for food, and then we were given the wrong order. We waited over 30 minutes more for the ordered food to arrive. The staff were apologetic but it was expensive and definitely not worth the wait. The Monday night quizzes are great but you have to arrive really early to get a table. The drinks here are quite expensive pretty much £6 for a pint. The thing it has going for it is that there are several bars so you can usually find a place to sit when there isn't an event going on. Vaping seems to be permitted inside which can make it uncomfortable for others.

Perfect place to watch sports, have a meal. The steak is nice! Also good atmosphere for social ones on the weekends. Door staff polite and the crowd is decent too! Update: They have added extra space on the top above the middle bar, where each seating area has a TV. Class spot!

I Organised a group lunch in the Errigle for 10 people. A great lunch menu , with a wide choice of dishes to suit everyone, (including celiac) The service was excellent and the food first class!

Multiple rooms, great vibe, sports if you want, live music sometimes in the back room

Nice Ormeau bar pity about service

Great pub and very tasty food. I do feel that the pints are very overpriced at £6.45 for a pint of Guinness which is a lot more expensive than city centre pubs and more locally The Parador does a great pint of Guinness for £5.10.

Good atmosphere, nice place, live music when advertised. I'll be going again 🙂

Overall great couple of hours as a Pitt stop before Belsonic. Food lovely, not packed and staff helpful, not super friendly but efficient. I would have liked a bit of light background music to get us in the mood for concert.

Brilliant bar, fantastic Monday quiz, superb staff and excellent Guinness. Great screens for sport and the best bar outside of Belfast City Centre

Cool irish music on Tuesdays Many many beer options

Very few in on Saturday. Been like that all year. Price of drinks too much perhaps is putting people off.bI paid 6+70 for a pint of perroini drank 8.

Great atmosphere and amazing food.

Great evening at Coeliac AGM. Errigle Inn as usual provided great quality gluten free fish and chips. Staff friendly and helpful.

Great wee local Tasty food and Fantastic atmosphere ☺️

Too many TVs for me but the chat and food was extraordinary.

£6.45 for a pint of harp... This is BELFAST not London or Dublin. Driving locals who have been drinking here for years away. I'll be going to the Parador where they respect their regulars and don't rip the piss...

Great food and live trad in the Oak bar Saturday afternoon.

The best bar on the road. Worked in it for 2 years loved every minute. Love it more now I'm on the other side of the bar 🍺

Fantastic pub with exceptional staff! Loved it.

Fantastic would recommend, a proper boozer one side and a family restaurant on the other, something we're lacking where I live. The barman was called Paddy he was a legend he should think about starting a business training people up.

im told the terrible food is due to two chefs leaving , the grub is rotten cold and greasy, this has been our experience this year on three occasions, the staff and locals have told us the food is crap and so it is, a daft reply to this from one of the many managers wont cut it , nobody in there gives a damn, meals one three visits are roast dinner the spuds were like bullets, meal two the gougons are now small and dripping with grease, the onion rings now small hard and stinking, the steak sandwich bread soaked in grease, rest crap, ERRIGLE needs to sit down and eat this expensive food and then sell it,,

Really enjoyed the food. Would go again

Good night watching band upstairs.

Great spot for food, very laid back atmosphere with good food and a good selection of drinks. Nothing too much trouble for staff and they don't keep you waiting for your food. I have been going here for years and its always good, very consistent. Only downside is the parking can be a bit of a problem depending on when you visit but it doesn't put me off.

Nice experience. We were early, so didn't get to experience a proper atmosphere, but it had a nice vibe. Staff were very friendly. The Guinness was top notch.

Not much of an atmosphere on a weekday afternoon, I expect its heaving in the evenings!

Popular and warmly welcoming bar/restaurant at Ormeau - Belfast South. Tempting but still not pricey menu, friendly staff, well chilled Guinness and more craft samples on tap. Good live music on regular basis. Can be pretty busy during weekends so resevation is recommended.

Great spot to visit before and after going to the Kingspan for the rugby

Food is excellent, huge selection of local and international beers. Great for watching sport and live music. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

A great spot for lunch. The cauliflower madras is superb even though I’m a die hard carnivore. Staff helpful and courteous,

Nice chicken stack, great pint of Guinness - Plenty of events on during the week

Spent NYE in The Errigle. Brilliant band,Mothers little helpers. Danced all night. Very friendly people and atmosphere. Will definitely recommend to others. 4 people over from Manchester said how much they enjoyed the night too....

Great food, amazing service, great vibes all round👌

With a group for a Christmas Lunch. Very well organised and great atmosphere. Food was very enjoyable and if there was any slight fault it might have been the length between courses. Must admit it's far better this way than being rushed through it. Staff very pleasant and very professional. Thanks to all

Friday night , busy but still had a seat and a brilliant craik with the locals

I just don’t understand why they took away the outdoor heaters, seat heating doesn't work and as it is the most expensive pint on the road with the most outside space…seems worth the investment?!

In the words of the great Annie Lennox whyyyyyaaawhhhyyyy WHY did you get rid of the outdoor heaters ? The heated seats heat the bum whilst the rest of the body experiences hypothermia. As the most expensive pints never mind on the road but also up there with some city centre prices surely that will pay for some new heaters . Outside is like a ghostown when once upon a heated time place was hiving !!

Good food with friendly competent staff

Great bar. Buzzin' atmos, tasty food, great staff and there's always the Oak Lounge 😘

A poor representation of fish and chips for £15. So much better pub grubs places in Belfast. No matter what people say the Guinness here is poor. Is there anywhere on the Ormeau road that has a good pint of Guinness?

£6.50 a pint! My glass was dirty and the drink hadn't even settled when it was plopped up like a bucket of slops. No effort for very high cost not worth it, plenty of other bars on the Ormeau Rd worth the visit.

Went for trivia night. Love the atmosphere and history of the place. Had a Hendrisk's Special. Could have been a little more generous with Hendrick's, in my opinion.

Had a fabulous meal here. Staff were great very polite and helpful. The food was amazing we will definately revisit. Very reasonably priced and the service was excellent

I only have one little problem with this great pub and that's the price of Guinness. £5.95 is extremely expensive. I don't know The price they charge for other beers and lager's.

My first time here..really lovely pub..great atmosphere..staff very attentive ..and friendly..look forward to going back to sample food ..which looks great.

In the Errigle to watch the Ireland v New Zealand rugby World cup quarter final. Great atmosphere, good Guinness and great company. Shame about the result.

Good service and quiet atmosphere

Had a light lunch. Service was great.

Can't rate it highly enough. Really great food, service and drinks.

The best pub in Belfast to watch rugby in. Always a great atmosphere. Great selection of beers. Great Guinness and really good pub grub!

Really good pub with massive selection of drinks, great service and lots of space. Would recommend to anyone in the Ormeau area

Visiting the area with 2 kids and a dog. That makes dining out a bit complex (often dog welcome but kids not and vice versa). Errigle has a comfortable outside seating area. Perfect. Great food. Friendly atmosphere.

Great bar and food. A real local bar with great staff.. Probably the best local in Belfast

Service 2/10 Good 1/10 Frozen Yorkshire pudding, tough roast beef and deep fried potatoes, they should have paid me to eat it. 2nd time at it and the last time, stay clear!

We have good days and bad days but that day must have been a BAD day. The staff were friendly enough but everything just seemed to take so long and seemed very confused when ordering. It must have taken a good 20 minutes to get everything sorted and even then, it wasn’t quite right but by that point, I was happy to just get to back my seat. Speaking of seats, the placement of the tables outside seemed a bit odd and was highlighted by way of a water feature appearing under the table when it started to rain. Niche but undesirable and unnecessary. The food was ok but not great. I had the roast beef which was, “alright”. The amount of beef on the plate was staggeringly large (I’m not complaining about that) but it seemed out of balance with the rest of the meal and a bit of quantity over quality. My friend had the chicken burger which he said was really good but we had to send the chips because they had all the appearance of a foodstuff that had been cooked under the hand-dryer in the men’s loo. The one star for atmosphere is largely based on time of day because it was early afternoon on a Sunday so one star is quite unfair really. Overall, I’d go back if I was hungover and hungry but it wouldn’t be on the top of my list.

A "proper" pub, the inside is especially interesting. Three cask beers on sale along with a big range of mostly local craft beer on keg and in can. Have heard they do good food too. B easy to reach on the bus from Belfast centre, but beware of early closing times ...

Reliable local which I've been going to for years now. Food has went downhill a bit recently, and the price of pints going up. Still a good local, and it is the best pub in town when Ireland rugby is playing.

Paid £6-7 for a portion of cauliflower wings and only got 3… staff were friendly though

Nice pub, was busy but not overly, I know it's tough getting staff atm but when two good staff members could do what 5 were trying too do I wonder about traing and management tbh.

First in after Stormont Parkrun for the huge Errigle Fry .Didn't disappoint cooked to perfection followed by a well poured pint of Guinness.

Turn the music down you inconsiderate morons….from a resident!

All great the best of the Ormeau. Sometimes no enough people serving at the bar.

Great food, great atmosphere and always great craic. It’s been a few years since I was here and it hasn’t changed a bit but in a good way! Always enjoy visiting here.

Preis Leistung geht so Essen teuer Getränke teuer Tisch schmutzig

Premium prices for average quality beer, same p*as most bars today! Disappointing had a good selection once!

The Best pub in South Belfast,biutifull food and perfect to watch the Rudby mach, divided by several room's with diferent screen's Must go.

Food was simple, delicious and abundant and the staff were so pleasant, helpful and recommended dishes from the menu. Sometimes people forget just how good the Errigle is and how relaxed the atmosphere. This was a local for a few years and I miss not nipping in after work. Highly recommend for a chilled, relaxed vibe and lovely food and staff.

Great staff and atmosphere. This was the first time I had been in this place. Clean and the food looked good

Made the most of the the sunshine and had a great meal on the rooftop bar. Downstairs was absolutely packed but there were hardly any people on the rooftop. I think people forget its there but having it to ourselves was amazing.

Great pub! One of my favourites in Belfast.

Nice and very popular pub in south Belfast. They have a dining area but reservations are recommended. We ate in the pub area. Typical boisterous and friendly locals! Food was really good. More serve yourself then get served, but worth the effort. We had mushroom pasta and an avocado burger, both very nice and well portioned. Outside covered seating is available, as well as a sport bar section.

My wife and me stopped in for a quick pint before heading out for the afternoon. Enjoyed the outdoor seating on an unusually warm day in Dublin. Solid service, food and great price/value. Really enjoyed the vibe.

Visited the Errigle Inn recently whilst visiting Belfast. The customer service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend a visit. Thanks to the staff for making our visit a pleasure. We have brought home good memories of our visit.

Had a roast beef Sunday dinner and it was beautiful 😋

Had great ales to try! Friendly staff

Fantastic venue and great atmosphere, 10/10 recommendation a visit.

Went there for a Sunday roast, which was decent, if a bit bland. Have good options for vegetarians/vegans.

Went to the Sports bar. Staff are fantastic great range of drinks

Great place to go on the Ormeau Road for sports fans during match days. Sat upstairs to watch the Liverpool vrs Man utd match, atmosphere was fantastic! Ordered food and drinks at the bar. Drink served quick even tho there was a cocktail or 2 ordered and the food was amazing, chicken stack, chicken goujons and a superfood salad. Will be back

Amazing bar with amazing staff. Had a great birthday in here thanks guys

Cool atmosphere! It's worth having a pint here for sure

Craig was very friendly and brilliant barman. Didnt have to wait to be served. Food was perfect. Craig was really helpful

Great place to be with friends for a good night
