Great spot for a few drinks and catch ups. Nothing special but convenient location, cozy layout and good music. Just what you need from a good pub.

After a day out in Belfast we stopped off in Muriel's for some Cocktails. I love the bars look and feel and overall atmosphere. Staff are always great craic to chat with and always helpful with ideas on cocktails. I love my Brambles and so this is my drink of choice and they served one of the best I have had in while. The fact that it was a lovely sunny evening in Belfast meant we sat outside and did some people watching and as the evening went on the Bar got busier and busier which was good to see. We also ordered some spicy fries from the bar which get prepared by Pablos the next building beside and they where lovely

My daughter and her 2 friends called into your bar yesterday evening. The bar was quiet. They'd just had a lovely meal in Coppi and i recommended Muriels for after dinner cocktails. They were turned away as they're only 20 and not 21. Such a shame 😞

Muriel's is a really nice place to relax with your drink of choice, especially later evening before last orders. A cosy bar downstairs and upstairs, with good staff, but the absolute superstar was Dee (hope I spelled it right) covering bar security. He was an absolute top bloke, politely attentive and helpful to all customers including our party. Big thumbs up!

Muriel's Café Bar and Pub in Belfast is a true gem! From the moment you enter, you feel instantly comfortable and welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with charming decor that perfectly blends traditional and modern styles. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to offer recommendations and ensure that every guest has a great time.The drinks menu is impressive, offering a wide selection of delicious cocktails, fine wines, and a fantastic range of beers. The homemade cocktails, in particular, stand out, crafted with great attention to detail and truly exceptional in taste.The food is also top-notch. From small snacks to hearty main dishes, everything is included and it is clear that high-quality ingredients and a lot of passion go into the cooking. The menu offers something for every taste, and the portions are generous.Muriel's Café Bar and Pub is the ideal place to spend a relaxed evening with friends or just to enjoy a drink after work. The pleasant music, friendly ambiance, and excellent service make every visit a special experience. I can only highly recommend this wonderful place!

Used to be my favourite bar, always good cocktails and nice chatty staff…seems to have gone to the dogs a bit, no atmosphere and cocktail I had was really poor. Bar staff all seemed young and uninterested, there used to be a nice mix of experienced staff but that’s all gone now…just seems to have a cheaper feel now with no effort.

Havent been here for about a year and so disappointed with the place. We usually spend from lunch time until 5.30 ish as gins & cocktails were always delicious. Today I got a Brockmans Gin served in a Beefeater Gin glass with not even a slice of lemon, even the worst bars give you lemon or lime. Thought id change to Hendricks next as its always served with lovely thin sliced cumcumber, but NO, nothing, not a thing in it but ice. I asked the girl if she could add a garnish and she came back with a slice of lime. Seriously poor gins in what was always a fab gin bar. We noticed going in that it was unusually empty, now we know why. Will not be back.

No other seating available and refused to give us a refund. "There stand in the bar/outside or leave"..... Literall quote from the "manager"....... Complete joke. Way better bars in Belfast, avoid

One of my favourite places or should that be Palace as in gin Palace. Having said that it is a small Palace for Muriels who worked day and night to make ends meet. They serve a great selection of gins and the knowledgeable staff will advise on the perfect serve. There is a selection of tonics and you can specify your own mix if you prefer. Alas they no longer serve honeycomb with Jawbox so explore the rest of the menu. They also serve beer and food - don't get distracted from your mission. Update in Dec 2023 staff are so knowledgeable about the gins anymore nor the perfect serves so a little disappointing in that regard. I long for the good old days.

Indoor/ outdoor seating. It's on a road, so not as calming as the main square. The inside is lovely. There's facilities but no toilet seats. The staff are really lovely and welcoming and the menu is vaste, personally as a vegetarian I love the blue cheese sauce with grilled eggs and vegetables, for meat eater there is a piggy platter. Which they also make as a sharer. There's also some ice creams and desserts on order the fruit cheese cakes looks amazing. And plenty of great sights on the road that Marie's is based on, worth a visit.

This bar is famous for the ladies' lingerie hanging from the ceiling near the bar (all regularly laundered so we were told!) and the nude photos in the bathrooms! Barmen were more than happy to take the time to tell us the stories of the history of this lovely little bar. We visited on a sunday night and it was very quiet so we had a choice of seats and the bar staff were always free to take our order :-) The cocktails were all delicious and very well made, around £10 each. The seats were comfortable, the service was excellent and the toilets were clean. We would recommend a visit, as we tried several different cocktails from the menu and they were the tastiest cocktails we've had in a while.

This was one of the dirtiest bars we had a drink in last night in Belfast. The tables outside were absolutely filthy, over flowing ashtrays and glasses. Clearly hadn’t been cleaned all night. After cleaning 3 tables myself and leaving glasses, over flowing ashtrays and dirty cloth on bar counter they continued to sit there for the rest of our duration. The toilets were equally as filthy. In fact I don’t think I’ve seen as bad in a long time. Definitely require more staff to keep on top of the tables and toilets. I’d not be recommending for this reason.

Was in Pablo's (a burger place that seems to be connected to Muriel's) next door. They could not serve drinks - customers had to go to Muriel's to get a drink (???). Bar was quiet, barman was making cocktails, but did not acknowledge me waiting until he finished. The guy did not look well either. I like the dive-bar look in general, but this place just looks bad. Give Pablo's a miss too. Nice server, but food was mediocre and the whole set up was bad, so avoid both Muriel's and Pablo's. They need to hand the reins over to an outfit that cares.

It used to be my favourite place for a cocktail in Belfast, and was really looking forward to tasting their flaming zombie again tonight. They must have run out of lighters or inspiration, or both, as my zombie was not flaming, more like a pineapple juice with foam and a slice of lime. Really disappointing plus very expensive (£16 for a pint and a non-flaming zombie)

The gf and I were looking for some quick and dirty street food before a flight back home and Pablo's came up. They advised us to take a seat next door in Muriel's (their sister business) and order in there. Burgers and fries arrived quickly, and were exactly what we needed. Great vibes, and drinks are banging too.

Visited here on a Sunday afternoon and all I can say was it was truly awful. Poor service, no pints on draught and I think they had forgotten to turn the heating on, and just to top it off the toilets looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a week. Certainly a big change from the last time I was there which I couldn’t fault. Really disappointing and was embarrassed to take my friends here when I had highly recommended it previously. Will maybe give it another chance in a few months and I really hope they do improve because it’s suce a lovely and lively bar at its best.

We were upstairs just sat down with our drinks, within 10 mins we were asked to move downstairs by as they were cleaning up. Ok, we moved downstairs 10 mis later asked for last orders which was fine, ordered two drinks, they arrived, great. Two mis later staff then stood over us before we could drink what was just paid for. We felt very uncomfortable and felt like we were no longer wanted, we asked for plastic glasses so we could take our drinks away only to be told "we don't have plastics" is it too much to expect a reasonable amount of time to consume drinks purchased at last orders? Very disappointed. Don't take money from customers if you're not willing to allow them time to consume it. Very disappointed with overall service.

We are regular customers at cuffs. An booked a meal for a birthday celebration for 9 people on Sunday 29th September 2024 @4.30pm. On arrival we were told that our table was booked for 5.30pm. Which was not the case. They seated us at 4.25pm. Four of the party had soup. Which they finished quick enough. Despite this. We had to finally ask at 6.15pm if our mains would be much longer. When they eventually did bring them out. One of the meals was wrong turkey and ham with gravy and should have been peppered sauce, one came (chicken goujons) an were eaten before the side that they came with was brought to the table. The final meal (a steak) (was brought when rest of the party were nearly finished there meals) and it to was wrong. Chips, instead of mash and pepper sauce instead of gravy. People who came in much later than we did, were served (3 courses) and left. Before all our party had received there meals. Not once were we asked if we would like more drinks throughout this time. Despite arriving at 4.20pm. We were the last to leave restaurant due to this service. All of us only having one soft drink each. This was very disheartening. I have only ever left good reviews for cuffs. An had recommended here to my friends. Hence why it was booked for a birthday celebration.

I was in Belfast last December for the first time…. (I am from Cork) the breakfast experience started in the queue waiting for a seat, it was a cold Sunday December morning, when staff handed out little hot chocolates (for free), went in ordered, paid. The staff were SO NICE, SO FRIENDLY, SO SOUND and had a great sense of humour!!! The food was 12/10 absolutely not one fault. It was by far the nicest breakfast I have ever eaten out!! I think about it regularly hence the review almost a year later. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to go again. Food, customer service and setting 12/10.

Went on Wednesday 29th Nov. Food was amazing as always and the two girls serving were exceptional. My son is special needs and they interacted so well with him. He is non verbal (one word answers sometimes) but they asked him what he would like and he replied chicken. They were extremely helpful,pleasant and very welcoming. So thank you for our experience as we don’t get to do family meals often.
