McHughs Bar & Restaurant in Belfast

Out of everything: half of the main dishes were not available, one of the two fries options not available (after the waiteress asked me which one I wanted and then brought me what was left of the other type).The soup was ok, but the bread served with it seemed almost raw.Confusion and agitation in the staff, despite there was not a big crowd due to covid-19 regulations

Myself and 7 of my friends went to this venue yesterday for dinner. The food was decent and most of the staff were very nice. Between the 8 of us we spend over £300 on food and drink. At half 9 we were asked to move downstairs to the live music which was no problem. Apart from us there was about 10 people in there on a Saturday night. We have it on video us sitting in our seats singing with the musician. The "Manager" came over and told us to shut up singing because of covid. We thought she was joking at first, still ordering rounds of drink and shots she came back around and said she will get the bouncer to kick us out if we don't be quiet. We then asked can we speak to the manager as she was the only member of staff to have a problem with us. She then shouted "I am the manager!!!". So we told her she had no manners and left. The musician seemed annoyed as we were the only ones giving him feedback. We would have happily sat and drank there all night if it wasn't for that "Manager".

Excellent food, service, quality and value. Three of us dined. We had a rump steak, the chicken boxty and the fish and chips. All were excellent. Catherine went above and beyond to make sure we had a great meal. Highly recommended

A good selection of beers and drinks. Nice staff . I added the *large* selection of breads and dips for a treat, as they didn't have crisps (I think they could add in some local crisps to the offering no bother)...... Anyway, to be absolutely fair the bread plate is extortionate (£7.50) for what you get. I'll be back for the pub , but the breads are a ripoff. It was six slices of bread - 3 wheaten and 3 a sort of soft soda, perhaps?! (+ tapenade). Heaven knows what the small of this plate is like at a Fiver!

Whilst visiting Belfast and waiting to check into accommodation we opted to have a few drinks and lunch at McHughs.Reading the menu we asked about a particular dish which the waitress described, the taste buds were tickled and we ordered.The Belfast Boxty has now got us hooked, it's hearty, wholesome and absolutely delicious. We opted for the sliced steak topping. McHughs is definitely worth a visit.

4 of us booked for a meal - for a birthday - we thought, sit afterwards for a few drinks.It was a Tuesday and should have been quiet.Boy did we pick the wrong day.!The table was booked for 5pm. As we arrived we noticed outside was really busy. Then we remembered, just across the road is one of Belfast’s busiest venues for outside concerts - and the first one since lockdown cleared was about to kick off.Now, we know it was busy, but we had to chase staff for everything.By 6pm we had one drink served.We went chasing menus.Our food wasn’t served until 6.45pm.Then we had to go try to get another drink.The rules were “table service” as it had to be, but no one checked on us once. So one of us went and spoke to someone, and it was 20 minutes before we got our next drink. This continued until 8.30pm when we managed to grab a table out in the fresh air. It then took 30 minutes to get an order in for another drink.We shouldn’t complain as we were treated to a ‘free’ audio concert from Tom Jones - but all the noise of others around us made our nice wee, quiet meal impossible.So, the food was perfect. The staff when we got them were lovely, we think they realised how distracting everyone else was to us.The prices were what we expected too, so no real shocks to report here.

Really enjoyed our visit. My wife had pie of the day (chicken & ham) and I had the Boxty. Irish potato cake topped with ham, egg & cheese. Well cooked & very tasty. Great selection of beers. Looking forward to going back tomorrow.

Called here on a windy afternoon and the only seat available was outside, which was fine albeit a bit chilly. Waitress came to take order and I asked if any seats were available indoors, she said give me a minute. Came back shortly after and found me seats by the bar.Stayed there a good few hours, excellent service, excellent food and good musicOverall Brilliant, would recommend to anyone

Visited for lunch. Had chowder and soup. Great quality. Very friendly Batman . Genuinely friendly. Gave us a taste of Belfast black - once he realised our interest in local brews. If having lunch - go small as large is large!

Great little find that serves the famous Belfast Black stout!My husband and I were recommend to visit here as they served Belfast Black. They managed to seat us outside and then kindly moved us inside when they had room. We decided to stay and have food... we were not disappointed. Amazing food., felt like it was good home cooked fayre. We had the spicy lentil soup, chicken strips to start, followed by traditional boxty (topped with rump steak and crispy onions) and i had the pie of the day which was a chicken and leek topped with a cheesy mash. The food was amazing as was the service from Steve, Fionnula and the rest of the amazing team. So friendly and attentive.

This was my first visit to this bar as I am not usually in this area of Belfast and I have to say even with covid protocols the atmosphere was excellent, the staff were warm and friendly. A nice food menu and decent selection of spirits and beer in particular local liquids.Definitely worth the effort of visiting

My husband and I being frequent visitors to Belfast, and having had drinks in McHughs plenty times we thought we'd have dinner here for a change.We were seated at a table, however, just before our starters arrived we were asked to move as someone else had booked that table. We moved no issue, although I preferred our original table haha!Food -I had the chicken wings to start which were really nice, the chef gave me garlic dip rather than blue cheese ( I can't eat blue cheese) and my husband had the chicken goujons which were okay, nothing to write home about.My husband had sausage and mash for main which he was disappointed with, the sausages were overcooked, the mash was like micro mash and the gravy was like Bisto (think school dinner sausage and mash)I ordered the steak which was supposed to be a hot rock steak (no hot rock) I asked for my steak rare, however when it arrived I could tell by the colour that it wasn't going to be rare, sure enough I cut it through the middle and it was well done :( I did highlight this and it was resolved with a new steak being brought out, although it meant my husband was finished his dinner near enough before I got mine so he had to wait on me finishing! Glad I ordered onion rings as I was able to eat these whilst waiting on a replacement steak, although they weren't that great!I can't fault the staff for resolving the steak issue, and they did remove a round of drinks from the bill and were apologetic, however, having had high expectations from the other reviews, and having seen food on previous visits we were left disappointed.It could be due to the reopening, and mistakes do happen but really cooking a steak well done when asked for rare? that's a fairly big one. We will possibly be back in future.

Had food here after not being here for ages the place still hasent lost its charm place seemed very busy which in this currant climate isnt bad as usal i had steak and my wife had the fish steak was cooked to perfection and fish which was a nice portion was very enjoyable i had sticky toffee and my wufe had cheese cake just being greaddy but were both devine really good meal all round hope to get back soon thanks every one

Had lunch on Friday which was the first day back following the covid restrictions. The bar/restaurant were spotlessly clean, staff wore PPE and customers were seated safely apart. We had the seafood chowder and fish and both were cooked perfectly. It was also great to enjoy a great pint and glass of wine during these challenging times!The staff were very attentive and seemed genuinely pleased to be open again and welcoming customers again.McHughs has long been a bit of an institution in Belfast and it was great to see it reopened, completely safe and at the top of it's game.If you are a visitor to the city it is well worth a visit. Happy to recommend!

This place has everything you need. Warm engaging staff . Atmosphere . Value for money and a great view . It is slightly outside the main centre of Belfast but well worth the walk. You won't be disappointed

Pasé una agradable velada en McHugh's Bar. La comida es típica de un pub irlandés: una caja es como un croquet de patatas del tamaño de un pastel de pescado, con una selección de diferentes ingredientes. Fui por el cerdo desmenuzado a la barbacoa que estaba delicioso. ¡Quedó bien con la cerveza de Belfast! Otros de nuestro grupo tenían pescado y patatas fritas y una hamburguesa (ambos deliciosos). Los precios son razonables (era de unos 25 por persona con muchas bebidas). Tienen una excelente selección de whisky, si ese es tu bolso, pregunta por el menú (tuve 10 años Bushmills, que terminó la noche perfectamente). Todo con música en vivo y gran servicio. Muy recomendable.

Amazing food, Great service, Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Ideal if your staying around the Titanic quarter, a gentle walk along the river and over the bridge. 15 minutes walk.

Cenamos aquí con mi esposa y 2 amigos, la comida fue deliciosa y el personal fue excelente, especialmente el joven que nos sirvió. Comí sopa para comenzar, que era una buena porción y luego el rib eye servido en rocas calientes para que puedas cocinar a tu gusto. Bebidas y ambiente en abundancia con personal siempre disponible. Gracias chicos, volveré.

Última comida antes de volar a casa. Se recomendó reservar una mesa ya que este lugar es muy popular. Comida deliciosa, Potato Boxty era bueno y la Guinness era perfecta. Se quitaron todas las mesas de afuera y había un pequeño grupo tocando música.Sin duda volvería.

Visitamos este bar dos veces durante nuestra estancia en Belfast y la primera vez que comimos los bistecs en las piedras que eran increíbles y la segunda vez que comimos el Boxty de patatas, que también era genial: no es solo el pub más antiguo de Belfast, también es el ¡mejor!

Lugar bonito y con doble piso. Agradable. Buen servicio y comida bien presentada y buena.El colcannon y el champ es prácticamente igual. Uno es puré de patatas con leche y el otro no lleva leche.Volveríamos de nuevo

Después de todos los problemas de COVID - 19, este bar y restaurante nuevamente no deja de cumplir con todas las expectativas. La limpieza está al lado de la piedad, como dicen, y lo han logrado a lo grande. Viseras, mesas limpiadas en la misma oportunidad y 50 por ciento de descuento en nuestra factura para comer fuera para ayudar por parte del gobierno hicieron que fuera una noche verdaderamente encantadora. - ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente ser servido por Catherine y Caitlin brillante!

Fui con la esposa cuando nos enteramos del esquema de devolución, el lugar donde el taco de zumbido está usando equipo proctivo, estábamos sentados y mi esposa eligió la grupa y yo, por supuesto, el corvejón de jamón, que ambos eran divinos, elegí el toffe pegajoso de nuevo siendo codicioso est cada pieza este pkave es una joya escondida gracias

Nice meal and good location. Live music was a little loud, we were seated right next to it, hard to have a conversation eating dinner.

Pub irlandés para comerse un boxty con una guinness. Buen ambiente y buena cerveza. No se puede esperar nada más. Recomendable si quieres ambiente de pub!

Called in for food on sunday with family the place seemed oretty busy so we new we found or spor got our order take and with in no time our food arrived steak cooked to prefection chips nicely seasonied stuffed chicken nicely presented had two sticky toffe puddings again just enough sause really enjoyable meal

A step back in time, a real old pub, great inside. Lovely food. A great place to eat, or just have a drink on your walk round the city

We went in on an early Sunday evening at 5 p.m. for a bite to eat before catching a train. Small menu, but it had everything we needed. We we enoyed the live music and interesting decor. Worth a visit.

Found this by chance whilst walking back from titanic museum, apparently over 300 years old really lovely and quaint and husband delighted to see Tennants on tap

Stopped in here for a couple of drinks while walking back to our hotel from the titanic museum. Lovely traditional pub with live music playing on a late Sunday afternoon. Good selection of drinks and very friendly staff. The pub was busy but not rammed and we found a table fairly easily.

Memorable Sunday lunch at Mc Hughs; fantastic atmosphere, superb, engaging traditional irish music. Perfet way to end our friends Belfast experience. Better to book a table in advance, the place is really busy. We will be back soon.

Atmosphere was brilliant traditional music was brilliant, Unfortunately food was really poorFood was so over cooked, chip must off been cooked 3times, my chicken was so over cooked I couldn’t eat it, my husband & sister had burger bap was really hard & burger really dried up, no one asked was everything ok, I ordered 3year old ice cream, staff couldn’t find a small teaspoon..

Great atmosphere in a very authentic Irish Pub!! Good home cooking if you are looking at tasting local and traditional Irish dishes!

Stopped in to grab a pint and see the talented local musicians traditional session. The music is worth a visit alone but the pub was cozy and warm on a rainy day and the beef stew is good!

Go to McHughs, its class! No, sorry, it isn't. Called 'bar and restaurant', no it isn't, a pub yes but that's as far as I'd go.

Husband and I arrived at McHughs last night to have a bite to eat and some drinks with friends who were travelling from Armagh to join us. We were all then going to a concert in the nearby Oddessey arena.

We only stopped in for a drink but the atmosphere here was palpable, despite no entertainment at the time. This bar is also in a walkable location to many other sites worth seeing in Belfast.

Our tour stopped close to here for a limited time. The restaurant wasn't open yet so we ordered the bar food. We tried our first boxty here and enjoyed it.

Good food, traditional pub, has some good live music. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommend the fish and chips

Booked in to ladyboys of Bangkok. Went to McHughes before for dinner. Delicious food. Went to show (fantastic) and back to McHughes after. Malachy looked after us. First class service. Thank you. Back next year thanks malachy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We visited for lunch and were so pleased with the food. The chicken and leek pie was creamy and the potatoes were great. The burger was done perfectly. All food tasted very fresh. The staff were all helpful and quick, and the atmosphere itself was great. Lovely lunch spot in the heart of Belfast!

This place was recommended by someone from the Titanic Museum and wow it was great! We spent a week in England, Ireland and Iceland and this restaurant definitely had the best food, service and ambiance. Listed as pub food, but by no means was this pub food... it was fabulous.

McHugh's was the first pub we encountered when entering the city centre from the Titanic Quarter. We stopped for a quicker refresher and they had a wide range of beers and ales to choose from.

Twenty turned up to toast a Happy Birthday to a very young Angela of 60 summers. Food was excellent, 1 x large chowder, 1 x gammon, 1 x chicken gougons. The chowder was the best this side of the west of Ireland. In order £7.50, £8.50,£8.95. Live Irish music, brilliant service.

Guinness undrinkable. Some bar staff unfriendly and rude. Had some change to pay for a drink, valued at 10.25, gave barman change , he took a few pounds out then threw it all back on the counter, said "I cant use that". Didnt take any of it, not even the 25 pence. No one else at the bar so he wasnt too busy. Wont be back anytime soon

We stopped here for a few drinks, before a concert at the SSE. we sat at the bar,the atmosphere was buzzing, there was a group playing Irish music on their different instruments on a table to the side which was fab!!! Really added to the atmosphere, I wanted to stay longer. Would recommend!!! Didnt eat here but the food Going past looked good.

Went to eat at this place this evening with family, as we walked upstairs at 7:20pm we were met by a waitress who informed us that she was sorry but the chef had called time tonight..... what the hell, do they just make there own times up???

Authentic Irish Pub and Restaurant Good service and surroundings with occasional live music within walking distance of city centre or Arena

A traditional looking pub just a short stroll from the river, a sign outside proclaims it is the oldest building in Belfast. The premises do however appear to be two separate buildings that have been knocked in to one.

Called with the inlaws for food was recomanded to us by a friend on arriveal the bar seemed pretty busy went upstirs and wer seated the place still has that old look which i like order was takeing usal breads soup which was divene tomatoe and red pepper if i didnt know better would of said it came out of a tin ham hock terrine wife said it was as she are it all mains she had the duo of duck and me being greedy had the fillet of beef the rock was offered but i like it meidum again pefect couldnt fault it would of loved to try the stcky toffe but was full up will call back soon next time were in belfast thank for a great meal

Booked a meal for 8 people in advance of attending the SSE Arena for a show. Meal took 40 mins to arrive at table. One meal was still frozen in the middle. The excuse given was "Chef says sorry but we are busy". Ordered a replacement meal which again took as long to cook. Missed the first 45 minutes or our show waiting on food. Made contact via website and received no response form McHughs.

We stopped in for a pause in our sightseeing and to warm up and have lunch. We had a boxty with BBQ pulled pork, a hearty stew and the gammon. Both the gammon and the boxty were superb. The stew was thick and hearty but a little bland. For dessert we had the mixed berry cheesecake (a bit dry and hard) and the stick toffee dessert ( delicious!). Nice atmosphere including large, clean bathrooms and a lighted fireplace which we were seated near. Worth a visit!

Best bar ever.good atmosphere.fabulous staff.great food.drink and music.The bar Is in the oldest building in Belfast.Live Irish music on Saturdays.I am there every other Saturday.If you see me sitting at the bar come say hello.No such thing as strangers here.only friends yet to meet

We had Irish Stew and Boxty. £7-8 and very tasty. Lovely stout. Very good service. Lovely waitress and didn’t have to wait too long for the food. The soda bread that came with the stew was very good!

If you're walking around along the river (across from the Salmon of Knowledge) or in the city centre, this is a good choice for Irish food -- friendly, atmospheric, and a bit of history too.

Took an excursion offered by Disney cruise lines while in Belfast. Had a terrific guide, Bebe (spelling?). She was filled with knowledge, enthusiasm and energy! "Thank goodness for the pubs", was a great quote of hers. Popped in McHugh's, oldest building in Belfast. The crew working there were great! It's on our next bucket list.

Delicious Irish food served piping hot by excellent friendly staff and the entertainment was great. We all had a wonderful evening and can highly recommend McHughs for a group visit to city centre Belfast.

The barman was more interested in his local mates. We went on a sunday night. Not crowded, no reason to not engage with a customer. Found this to be true in most of Belfast, just not friendly with visitors.

The food available and the choice are amazing, all freshly cooked, such a good menu at all times. Would recommend the Boxtys, so tasty, my husband loved the mussels and the crab sandwich. Had my first proper Guinness, superb. Wonderful service by very attentive staff, super atmosphere, very welcoming to all.

Por ser señalado durante los tour que se acercan a la torre del reloj o al Big Fish cuando van finalizando la visita. Bien para salir del paso.

Abbiamo mangiato una zuppa ed un piatto di sgombro e granchio veramente buoni spendendo una cifra adeguata.

A nice atmosphere. Service was very fast and friendly. I had the seafood chowder which was very tasty and the Garlic Chicken Boxty, also very nice. The place itself is interesting as it claims to be the oldest building in Belfast.

A group of us met up before a friend's wedding, the menus offered a good selection, and the staff were helpful. Although the bar downstairs was lively, with good music, the upstairs room was quiet enough for us to chat at leisure. And the beers were good too.

Nos lo recomendó el guia del free tour pues termina justo al lado del restaurante junto a la plaza del reloj. Ibamos directos a pedir la típica sopa de pescado y el típico estofado de carne y fue sencillamente maravilloso. Una de las dos sopas (creo que la de pescado) la pedimos de tamaño grande ya que la de carne era tamaño único. Si no tenéis mucha hambre coméis perfectamente 2 personas con las dos sopas a compartir para probar ambas. Luego pedimos de postre a compartir también una especie de pudin con toffee que estaba riquísimo. Las sopas precios muy económicos y quiero recordar que en 8 dias de viaje fue quizás la vez que mas barato comimos en un restaurante quedándonos plenamente satisfechos.

Large 60th Birthday with friends - 15 pupil. All accommodated on one long table. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and food excellent. Would definitely recommend. Good choice of food and piping hot. Very nice atmosphere and good music.

Came for a wedding, stayed for a Game of Thrones tour, came back shattered and in need of food. Start to finish: brilliant!

Fuimos a pasar un día a Belfast y el guía de free tour nos recomendó este pub para comer. La comida era local y la persona que nos atendió era muy simpática. El precio muy adecuado para lo que es normal en estos rincones del mundo.

Es un pub que uno se encuentra paseando, y cuando uno lo ve piensa "aquí me quedo yo un rato a tomar algo". Su interior es totalmente tradicional, y su exterior con las mesas colocadas como terraza es fenomenal. Se puede picar/comer también, pero es un sitio sobre todo para tomarse unas pintas. Muy recomendable. Ojo, está siempre rebosante, igual toca quedarse de pie.

Great music and best boxty. Excellent place to go. Great craic. Very friendly staff and welcoming. Must go.

It was suggested that I try this pub as it's in one of the oldest buildings in Belfast. A couple was playing Irish tunes and it really enhanced the atmosphere. Our service was fine. I had a Guinness and an order of fish and chips. Established in 1711--that's a pretty long time to be in business. There were some nice "Game of Thrones" murals as well.

Great for food, atmosphere and drink choice. The ONLY place in Belfast to have Maggie's Leap on pump - delicious! Good food and bar snacks - and if you are lucky enough, you get a free concert from Custom House Square!! Great atmosphere!

Popped for a drink and had a full afternoon of music as well Good prices. Good drinks. Fun place Seems like the music is a bit ad hoc with people just turning up to join in

Good place to hang out! Pub with live music on the 1st floor, food on the 2nd floor. Some information might be a bit misleading regarding times of food service operations. Had a wonderful dinner here, took in some music, a few beers, and an Irish whisky. Good staff as well. A Belfast institution!

Este lugar es basura. Esperé quince menos para que me sirvieran un trago solo para ver a la gente venir al bar después de que me sirvieran, así que me fui. No tengo ningún problema con estar ocupado en algún lugar. Tengo un problema con el personal mal capacitado que no puede identificar a un cliente de Waitp 1. Es la 1 e y no desperdiciaré el dinero que tanto me costó ganar en un lugar como este cuando hay pubs mucho mejores en otros lugares de Belfast. Lamentaba haber entrado para probarlo. Evitar.

Fabulous place, superb atmosphere.great food and you have to try the Belfast Black stout.I go here as often as I can as its my home from home.Bar staff are top class and so friendly.I love it,Michael

Ate dinner in the oldest building in Belfast. I had the hot rock steak. Was very good. My wife had the fish and chips. Very good. Our server was excellent. Attentive and helpful. The bar scene was also hopping.

Buena y variada cerveza en lugar con tradición y encanto. La comida para salir del paso. Si voy en un grupo de casi 50 personas no podré esperar en Belfast, ya lo admito de antemano, que la comida fuera a ser excepcional. No obstante se come, se nutre uno para seguir la jornada. Sí puede merecer la pena el sitio. Añadimos como plus la amabilidad propia del servicio.

Arrived at 7, didn’t look busy, told there would be a 20 minute wait, 35 minutes later went up to the restaurant, had to find somebody to order, extremely Hungry by now, Bacon and black pudding salad that was all salad and next to nip meat, something called pineapple soup on the other salad that was non existent, main course turned up 50 minutes after we ordered so an hour and 40 minutes after we arrived, food was bland and over cooked. definitely not worth the wait, the bill was reduced but still not worth the price, avoid, avoid avoid

Dropped in for a drink with Canadian cousins on Saturday afternoon. Really lively atmosphere,a really nice music session in full swing. Staff very friendly. Very relaxing and a nice break in the city. I have also had a very nice meal there in the evening with my wife on a previous occasion The steaks were to die for!!I Would highly recommend this place.

Charming building, terrible service. Waiter never returned, went to the bar, and told we couldn’t order from a different waiter from the one that was at the table. We apparently offended our table waiter, because he never came back to our table, not even to give us the check. If they’re going to have these rules, they should post them. We had no idea. We could’ve walked out without paying, but we requested the check, and payed to a different waiter. No tip!

We went here on a Friday night two weeks ago.McHughs had been recommended to us by a local.It was early evening and whilst it was busy downstairs with the usual after work crowd the upstairs was empty.Having got our drinks at the bar we went upstairs and found a table.We ordered the veggie burger and vegetarian 'meatballs'(actually mushrooms) as a main course.

We had few beer times in the down stair bar. This time had good dinner in the up stair restaurant. The Steamed Dundrum Mussels was delicious and I used the bread to clean up the dish, because the sauce was lovely. The Irish Fish Plate was good too, there're few different seafood on this meal and it's great. Next time we would like to try the Famous Hot Rock Steaks, because we saw the next table who're having and had an attractive smell.

Went in today with my friend after reading some good reviews online about the place. We hadn’t ate since 10 and it was 4:30 when we went in so we were very hungry. Went in and looked around for an empty table but only seen about 3 and all had empty/half full glasses of beer. We went upstairs to the restaurant and were ignored. Went back downstairs and found a table, sat down and were never approached even though we looked around a tried to get the attention of staff. Went back up the stairs to see when the restraunt was opening and we were told 5, so we sat and waited. Went up at 5 to only be told it wasn’t bar food but a completly different menu. Complained we sat downstairs for 40 minutes without being approached as being ignored, didn’t get any reaction, the waitress just walked away. We left and went to “made in Belfast” where staff were amazing and the food was fantastic! Will never be back to McHughs!!

The ambiance is excellent as one would expect as was the beer but the food was well above average and the staff was excellent. Worth a visit.

We were having dinner at the McHughs and were quite disappointed. The building itself including its history is quite interesting but the service was below bad. The waiting time for a waiter was quite long, only to be topped by the waiting time for the drinks, which came after the meal and only after pleading for it. It was also necessary to beg for cutlery such as spoons and no salt or whatsoever was provided. Really felt unwelcomed here.

Popped in for lunch on as this place was recommened by our friends the bar still has the old felling we ordered our food i chose the fillrt on the rock being greeady my friend had the beef boxty both dish lovely presentd good portions i had a sweet as usal a sticky toffe again really nice liocal food well done hope someelse leaves work soon to get back for more

Oldest building in Belfast, which is a great claim to fame. Half-timbered building and multi levels are awesome. Staff were helpful.

I came to Belfast by way of Dublin, and they are alll about the Guinness in Dublin. However in Belfast there is a brew a bit more similar to a Stout called Belfast Black. This little bar, famous for being "of ill repute" in the old days of Belfast, is cozy, has beautiful murals depicting some of the history of Belfast, and is located in the middle of a handful of local landmarks and some of the best sites in Belfast, (Belfast shipyard, Blue Fish, and the leaning clock tower.)

Great atmosphere, met strangers and had a cracking good evening then ate upstairs and had the steak on a stone. Excellent. You can cook it to your own liking. Staff were very welcoming.

We had a week long company meeting with 21 staff from around the world. We al were visiting Belfast, Ireland for the first time. All the places visited and recommended by the hotel were excellent. Unfortunately, our luck ended at this place. We had a fixed menu and the man entrée was served cold. All 21 Entrees. It was ridiculous . Our tour guide made a complaint and no one from management came to apologize. Kitchen was closed so the situation could only be fixed by asking for hot gravy. The staff seemed to be a little irritated but perhaps they had a long day. I would not recommend this location to anyone in the future.

Lovely food with excellent service from the staff. We had the steak on the hot rocks. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back

This used to feature very highly on my list but not after today. Stood for half an hour at the bar with my wife while the 3 barmen and 1 bar lady served everyone around us! Twice!! When we finally got the attention of a barman to say he was rude was an understatement!

Visited with 5 others. Food was very variable. The duck duo was disastrous, first duck spring roll was soggy and undercooked, second one was stone cold in the middle. To be fair this was refunded. The lamb was lovely, herb crusted cutlets served with champ and a jus. The Irish breads made a good starter. The burger was unremarkable. Lively pub and lovely building.

Ordered the hot rock fillet steak today for lunch, having had it before and it's been great.

Hay q reservar mesa porque ir sin reserva es difícil. La comida estaba buena pero tampoco demasiado barata. Muy buen servicio y abajo se pueden tomar copas y cerveza!! Un sitio muy chulo

Walked past here each day on our visit and decided to go in for dinner. So pleased we did! Food was absolutely amazing! Loved both my starter and main course. No room for dessert tho for me. Hoping to go back tomorrow too before we head home to try something else on the menu. Staff fab and great atmosphere too

We eat lunch here, yesterday, we opted to try the potatoes cakes, I could race on for ages about the peppered steak and onion potatoe cake, wow , Fantastic. Staff were friendly and atmosphere in the pub was super. Shame we did not visit this pub on the first day, instead of our last or we would have eaten all our meals here. This pub is Situated just under the clock, and near the salmon.

Called in for lunch, cosy pub, nice service, usual pub grub offerings, went for the traditional stew, no complaints

Ate here last evening(6/4/2019) table booked for 6pm as going show at waterfront 7.30pm.. Seated on time& waitress took drink order, all good. Afraid after went pear shaped. Friend ordered starter which should not have been a problem but wasn't served till half six. Main meals not served till just before 7. Given one ordered was hot stone steak which had to be cooked still at table so not as if time delay on making a good steak. As can guest food was eaten super quick. Service good sadly kitchen seems to have been let down. Would go back maybe...but might just stick to auld favourite Robinsons when at Opera House and do walk to Waterfront.
