Lavery's Belfast in Belfast

Lovely atmosphere, tasty creamy pints, good band playing. Separate bar for younger crowd.

Ireland's largest pool room, so I understand. Great, fun place on multiple levels, and the person who served us was a great laugh!!!

Do not take the "special" offer on gin. I'm not sure what brand it was but it was AWFUL!! I have never left any alcohol behind me, but I was not able to even drink a quarter of my order.

Great place for playing pool and drinks. Only been upstairs but is huge with many tables and excellent smoking areas. Also run drinks offers which is a massive bonus for Belfast.

Good bar for casual, football or pool Drinks are good, did is grand too

We had booked two pool tables through the booking portal without detailing we needed them beside each other. Without hesitation a member of staff rectified this on our arrival and made sure we had the best evening possible. Food was great and the pints were flowing!

Had a great day out celebrating my husbands birthday with some pool and cocktails There were 14 of us out and it was great craic. The poolroom was great and as i had booked we got great tables and space. We already had dinner reservations elsewhere but would have some food next time.

Great spot for drinks, food and a few games of pool!

Spent an afternoon in the pool room. Great welcome from the staff and great service. Brought a beer from the other bar for one member of our party with each round. The team were so attentive and friendly. Great area and atmosphere.

Laverys 21st century is class. So different to my student days in 90s. Cracking range of rooms. Young crowd. Great vibes

Best place I’ve been since Stonehenge

Great place to visit and hang out. Reasonably priced, good food and friendly staff. I visit the pool room semi-regularly and there's so many tables that there's usually at least one available.

***Update*** I came here for a wrap party of a high-profile prequel to a popular series... if you know, y'know! And I’ve GOT to hand it to Lavery's... it was as SWEET as it gets! The setup was spot on, with drinks flowing and the atmosphere just right. The staff were fantastic, making sure everything ran smoothly! Plus, the toilets were spotless! definitely a FOOT above the rest! The outdoor space was perfect for soaking up the vibes and celebrating our epic journey. If you're looking for a great spot to unwind, Lavery's is the place to be!

Hosted a large party in the Shipyard. Unbelievably kind bar staff and bouncers. Food was brilliant and everyone was extremely happy!

Was there for a girlie afternoon. We always go to Laverys Bar. The atmosphere is fantastic. As always we were well looked after by John our food and drinks server. He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and well presented. The prices for food and drink was very reasonable. Can't wait to our next girlie afternoon out

A welcomed stop after exploring the city for three hours. The beer was good.

Great space. Friendly staff. Good service.

Amazing place, felt welcomed as a student from the Queen's University

I visited here whilst staying in Belfast. It's a pretty big place which consists of 2 floors. They had some great music on Saturday night with a singer, but the best part was the pool tables (situated upstairs). There was around 20 or so, and they are in great condition to play on. There's also a massive projector screen for the premier league football as well as some smaller ones situated all round. Decent prices, and they also do a top pint of Guinness. We didn't eat here, unfortunately, but from what we did see, the food looked brilliant!! As an erdinger fan, it was great to see some different types that I've not seen before.

The staff in Laverys are top class - always polite , helpful and very respectful . Nothing ever seems to be a hassle . Food was great , Guinness 10/10 and the atmosphere is always buzzing in pool bar . Food served to our table and cleared away so that we can have a seamless fun evening . Just the best spot on city for the craic

Great night start to finish. On arrival seated at reserved table staff very friendly and helpful took our order for food which when arrived was very tasty. Got our tickets for match without any problems bus arrived and took us to match collected after match and returned to laverys to enjoy rest of evening. Great night and we got a win thanks laverys until next time

Just a decent bar/pub/pool Hall.

We didn’t have food but attended the comedy club. Great nights entertainment for a very reasonable price. Great atmosphere and good bar and choice of drinks. Pre booking is essential for this great nights entertainment( not for the easily offended)

Fantastic pub, great beer great people decent prices, also friendly door staff which was really nice.

Staff were friendly, got on the table at the reserved time, music was great, overall and lively and friendly vibe :)

Recently enjoyed a staff outing in Lavery's and I have to say it was a great day/night. We got the burger platter that came with honey chilli chicken and salt and chilli wings which all where really tasty and filling. We will definitely be booking here again in the future. Bar and door staff were really friendly and helpful!

-Great fun -Good service -Friendly staff -Vegan food and drink options available

This is a large premises in central belfast, it has an industrial vibe about this old building. The staff were all helpful and curtious. the food is great, all 5 of us had something different and all thought it was lovely. A good variation in the menus, both food and drink and reasonably priced for a city center pub. Will be back while visiting city again.

Excellent pints and cocktails 🍸

Good place for a few pool games and a couple of pints

These chairs are unsatisfactory!?!?!!! They are flimsy, people fall over on them all the time, this place seriously needs to look themselves in the mirror, I'm unimpressed

Nice pub, a bit noisy during sports broadcasts, friendly service, good beer, we enjoyed being there

Everything great. Food, yummy; staff attentive, friendly, and patient; atmosphere vibrant. A great place for an enjoyable night out.

Decent for a pint and a game of pool

Efficient service - any issues with the tables sorted out proficiently - good music - nice vibe - fabulous night out.

Great bar ...came in recently to watch the football....plenty of screens around amd the beer was fantastic with plenty of choice....great staff as well ...definitely recommend

The atmosphere was quite antique-y. It is clearly one of the oldest pubs and I must say I found the staff quite courteous. The fish and chips were amazing. It is great for an afternoon alone-time

Friendly bar staff. Excellent quality and quality of food. Great selection of beers and spirits.

We went here for my husbands 40th and had the best night , quick bar service , friendly staff

Wonderful spot for some top quality comedy. Would highly recommend. Beautiful pub downstairs with full range of drinks and very good food menu. Perfect pre-gig spot.

Found this lovely old pub accidentally neatly tucked away in an alleyway. Fanastic atmosphere.

Early evening, fun music, good food, staff busy.

I paid £8.50 for a bells scotch and coke?

Have to commend the service. The order was incorrect but they rectified it immediately. They were super friendly. Food was good. Atmosphere was good. Female staff member with long brown hair, no name given, excellent

Food and drinks were great! Good atmosphere, would like to see beer of the month making a come back.

Once a lovely bar where working class folk could enjoy craic, now a bar with no soul that panders to hipsters and the entitled. Drinks are overpriced, food is also expensive but not always good. Staff can be rude, sometimes abusing their possition (at every level) Sadly the old Laverys is dead, what remains is a lottery, one may enjoy a night out, or, one may encounter coked up little brats who the staff may favour as they ruin one's night. Classic example of a bar growing beyond it's working capacity & owners who have taken their eyes of the prize. Laverys had a great philosophy. Now, I don't feel their philosophy extends past grandeur and cash. They're ruining their family bar, as a regular of 25 years it's horrible to feel so unwelcome in a place that once felt like home. C'est la vie

Good 7ft English pool tables. Non alcoholic draught beer options. Would have liked some other lagers on tap like Cruzcampo, Peroni or Birra Moretti.

Previously a great venue.... now, doesn't feel safe or welcoming. Still a great spot, just not that good.

I love playing pool at Lavery's

Personal attention and friendly staff. Highly recommend food was amazing. I'm not vegan but members of my party were really impressed by the vegan variety available

Nice pub but what's going on with Belfast these days - nearly £7 a pint. Same in most bars.

Had a great time. Was nice atmosphere and not to busy

Love Lavery’s it is our usual date night spot, great craic, great food & drink and dodgy pool

It's far too big and far too expensive. Kind of symbolises the problem with pubs in Belfast/NI - there needs to be a lot more competition as the pub game currently works like an oligopoly where a small number of big names charge and act how they want. Lavery's is decent for a football game but the cost means a trip is more of a treat than it should be. The same goes for their Pavilion pub on the Ormeau Rd.

Great place to socialise with friends or my case husband. We had fun playing pool which is a great price of £2.50 for 3 games. Drinks were reasonably priced and great indoor and outdoor seating.

Great place to play pool and good food!

Well we're from the US and asked in town for a true Irish pub. They nailed it! Our daughter who lives in South Carolina is proudly wearing her Lavery's tee shirt.

Stopped here for a tasty pint of Guinness & watching some Irish folk dance. Great time enjoyed every moment highly recommend it to give it a try!!

We went to Lavery's to see Belfast Improv perform. We had food beforehand and it's the first time I'd eaten there. It was very good. I'd the chicken wings and my friend the sweet chilli chicken. Very very tasty!

If you're a depressed male person who just wants to sit alone and never talk with anyone this is your place!!! But seriously this used to be my favourite place. I loved meeting new people, the food was good and normally people were nice. But then something changed. First I got told I was to drunk to get inside because I was genuinely happy and dancing on the way there (I didn't drink anything). Next time I got hit on by the security. And the next time I went there I got told I wasn't allowed because apparently people I talked with for 5min got into trouble after I left. Not the people I came with. I enjoyed going there alone and just meet new people. It felt safe. Now you couldn't pay me to go there anymore.

Pub in the heart of the city with a pool hall , comedy club, and bar. Good way to start your pub crawl into the city. Also has live music. The pub food which is served is decent. The general go-tos are burgers , salt, and chilli fries with chicken strips. The Guinness is decent. Recommend this bar if you want to hang out with your friends and chill. It also has an outdoor seating area sort of like a beer garden.

Great pub. Real good feel about the place. Good selection of drinks. I found the place by accident and glad I did. Worth a visit.

Booked the back bar for a joint 30th birthday my partner and his best friend. From start to finish laverys staff went over and beyond no request was too much. Bar staff on the night incredibly friendly and helpful. They assisted us with cake and the pictures hung up etc. management and security kept a close eye and kept it a private event. Highly recommend and very well priced. DJ was great and had no problem switching things up for us as the night went on. 10/10

Hired Tom's Lounge for a Charity Quiz for Marie Curie! Every member of staff was amazing. The atmosphere was great for the quiz and I can't wait to potentially hire the room again next year for a similar set up! Keep up the great work guys! Really loved it!

Staff a little rude and considering the euros were on there was no atmosphere.

Recently had my partners 30th birthday here it was a joint party for his friend who was also turning 30, the staff were absolutely fantastic, extremely helpful and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for a better night.

Laverys as a bar is lovely, great staff friendly people and food is good. But there beer pints are over priced at 6.40 a pint, the quality of pint is even worse they have a really bad smell and all taste the same, if going I would advise getting a bottle as there larger pints are minging

Booked a table for 6 of us in the backroom hassle free as always got there table reserved no problems we all had something to eat couldn't fault the food one bit it was quantity and quality the same as always the 6 of us left happy lads that's why we keep coming back score 11/10 😍

Came up from ballymena for mums 60th Birthday and have to say from start to finish we had the best day food was amazing and staff couldnt do enough for us will def be bck ☺️

Apparently the oldest pub in Belfast. Great atmosphere

What a spot. Friendly staff and the pool tables are immaculate.

For any occasion I can count on Laverys to host! The base is the perfect spot to hold a group.

Staff were lovely and service was quick and welcoming

Really love that Lavery’s has a rotating tap, gender neutral toilets and vegan options but I wish they had some vegetables on their menu other than cauliflower wings! Went here three times on a recent trip to Belfast and had some pretty appalling service experiences with staff that couldn’t be bothered to do their job or to acknowledge that there were customers to serve. We even had one who seemed annoyed that we were ordering food… I would recommend people go to Lavery’s BUT I would also strongly suggest that the staff get proper service training.

When to the comedy show . 10 off 10 very funny the woman comedy was so funny and host off it was hilarious ill be coming back . The staff was very good and on point . Now I only have one thing the beer as a barman myself . The smiticks and the harp was flat and luke warm that's my only thing at fault

Travelling throughout Ireland with two Canadian Laverys, we HAD to visit the Lavery pub for a pint and a t-shirt. We met Dominic Lavery, 4th generation Lavery owner, and he was so hospitable to we 4 Canadians. The bar was empty as he had just opened the doors at 12 noon and so we were able to explore the walls of Lavery pictures and other memorabilia and the many rooms of the pub without disturbing patrons. It’s huge! Traditional cozy Irish pub feel with 6 bars and many cool nooks and crannies in a large footprint. Dominic welcomed us and made our brief visit memorable. The kitchen wasn’t open for lunch, but the Guinness was excellent. The pub is just down the street from the university, so a very popular place for students. The Lavery Pub? Can’t wait to go back and try the food!

Poured our own Guinness pint, good menu and great portion sizes!!! Friendly staff!

Great atmosphere and food was brilliant. Highly recommend

We book a space for a regular event and the staff are always helpful in getting us sorted. We have had many very good interactions with the bar staff especially. Its a good central location which makes it easier for public transport.

Great place to play some pool upstairs.

Great food and staff. Always delivers

Security guy is so rude for no reason!!

Very large, cozy pub. Huge number of pool tables, lots of beer taps to choose from. There is a lot of traffic even in the middle of the week

Great night for the Champions League - booking was perfect, and food was accommodated for our table outside. Which was lovely might I add! Craic always good at Lavery’s - never a letdown. Always reliable.

Good atmosphere for champions league final, friendly staff, will defo visit again

Place was buzzing. Footie fans were in to watch the Southampton v Leeds promotion play-off final. Good Guinness, nice quick service.

Was over for the weekend visited a couple of times. We watched the FA cup final and eat they next could not fault it. Good drink, food and service. Plenty of staff all friendly.

Loved the Lavery’s platter …so AMAZING! great atmosphere and all round experience 🥰

Great atmosphere for the cup final on Saturday

Great experience pulling a pint of Guinness.

Laverys was exactly what I was hoping for in terms of a stag party, music, pool and beer!

Lush time playing pool with my friend. Lively atmosphere with all the craic. Food we had was a selection of starters and sides to share. Prompt service and yummy to boot. Highly recommend. Venue that has a place for all, like a tardis!

Great bar, lovely staff, nice atmosphere

In the 1980's , as now, a very well run pub where women were safe and welcomed.

Brilliant night out - service and atmosphere was brilliant - very expensive drinks but was worth it

Great night at the comedy club and the woodworkers.. Great food.. excellent service.. amazing value for money.. highly recommended.. pepper stack chicken burger is a must with any of the loaded fries. Comedy acts were class!! Gonna make this a monthly date night... Thank you 😊

What a great moment! Thanks to John for his Bartending lesson, it's a profession. I recommend, the food is excellent!

The food was actually outstanding! I had the tacos with chicken strips.. absolutely delicious! Sweet potato fries are very difficult to get right, they've a tendancy to go soggy but the ones in Lavery's are the best I've ever tried. Sooo crispy and just yummy 🤤 Staff were down to earth and the atmosphere was nice. Cannot recommend enough! I'll definitely be back.

Best chicken burger I've ever had. Massive. Try and avoid table 13 for pool as everyone has to walk past it to get to the other corner of the bar

Had a great time at Laverys and the rugby.
