Super Belfast city location to grab a bite to eat, enjoy a drink and watch live sport. Lots of booths or screens so should always have some ability to see the game. Great table service and whem the weather is good you can sit outside when the suns out.

Terrible bar service, in 2 days in a row and had to wait 10mins to be served each time. Less than 10 customers at the bar waiting so not overly busy. For £6+ now for a pint it needs to be better. If you’re in a hurry go elsewhere, probably cheaper too!

On our first night in Belfast we came across this wonderful and cosy place. There was no need to search for anything else during our visit in July. Great food - try the fish & chips but make sure you are hungry - it is a more then decent serve. And don’t miss out on the exquisit Pavlova. Sooooo yummy. Special thanks to Byron, who looked after us during our first visit and remembered not only our names but also our preferences when we returned more than a week later. Thank you Byron👍😊

We visited when it wasn't very busy but service was poor. We ordered food and drinks. When we had finished our drinks somebody grabbed the empty glasses but didn't stop to ask if we wanted another drink. Eventually we managed to order more drinks. About 50 minutes after ordering our food we asked where it had got to and the order had been forgotten. Eventually, an hour and ten minutes after ordering, the food arrived and wasn't bad, just a bit ordinary. I think we should have been offered some sort of compensation for the long wait but no good will gesture was forthcoming. If it's like that on a quiet night, I don't hold out much hope for anyone visiting when it's busy.

Best cocktails and girl behind the bar with glasses was lovely however we were there with a group of hens and spent a small fortune over a couple of hours but tried to move to a booth to be seated together after spending alot of money only to be told it was reserved. No party came in the whole time we were there so could've sat there instead of high uncomfortable stools. Towards the end we were asked to keep the noise down even though 3 of the tables close by had already been over and spoke to our party! 1 member of staff was very abrupt so we finished our drinks and took our business elsewhere. Shame really as the cocktails and young lady with glasses behind the bar were so nice!!! Here til Monday and won't be back!!!

During my time here the bar staff were over pricing drinks despite it being 'Happy Hour'. I let this slide for 2x rounds of drinks before asking them about the prices on the 3rd round of drinks. After asking, the price dropped from £16 to £12. I'll give this place a miss next time.

Was there watching the football on my birthday and ciara the waitress was very kind and helpful, nothing was too much hassle.My partner had the Korean wrap which was lovely and I'd the chicken burger. Food was nice especially their chips and dips that came with the mains. I had a few long island ice teas and they were a delight. Sometimes they can be hit and miss at certain places but I would recommend them here. Staff are very friendly and place overall is clean. Toilets were clean. If I had to be picky the only thing I'd say is it was a bit cold in the place and they had portable heaters out but ut didn't seem to help. Although the more long island ice teas I had the warmer I got lol.

What can I say other than I'll never be back. The lack of manners from bar staff left something to be desired. You often hear of the hospitality sector saying how times are difficult so you would think that when people do come through the doors they would be "looked after" There's a lot I could write regarding our "experience" but I'll not embarrass them.

I am very surprised that after attending Sweet Afton for a work event, one of my colleagues was denied entry after a smoke break due to being “aggressive”. He was merely telling another patron that he was too drunk and to move after making a pass at one of my female friends. I am really disgusted by the behaviour of the bouncers. We were forced to eat our Christmas dinner outside after paying money for this. One of the female bartenders also ridiculed me for accidentally bumping into someone. I would not recommend spending your money here. We work in customer service and were very surprised by the passive aggressive attitude displayed at this establishment. If you want to drink in a place that is unwelcoming you may as well go here.

Can be very busy especially after work so can be a bit of a wait at the bar and as people sit at the bar can be hard to get served but that's fairly typical I suppose, but also hard to get a seat, it's definitely nicer when it's quiet so mid afternoon before 4.30pm, has larger outdoor smoking after but it's not covered so if it's raining it's not great

Great spot that was recommended last minute by one of the staff of the Europa when we told him what kind of place we were looking for. We were looking for a comfortable rustic bar with a good atmosphere (not too quiet as we had a couple of 10 year olds in the group) and with really good quality food and drinks. This was exactly what we were looking for, atmosphere was perfect, music playing but not too loud at all, staff were brilliant, unbelievably attentive and really quick with drinks orders and any requests we had, service was definitely 5 stars for us on this particular experience. Quite a strong menu, there was a lot of stuff I wanted to order, basically I would have eaten anything off the menu which is always good, not too experienced with prices in Belfast City centre but for the quality of the food and service we got I was pretty satisfied, I got the duck breast which was perfectly cooked and a really high quality meal, so that was another 5 stars from me. I went for the Peroni draft beer option, really gorgeous pint, a bottle of white wine was ordered for the table and apparently that was gorgeous too, the seating and lighting and all round atmosphere was fantastic, just really relaxed and definitely the kind of place I could have easily spent a few hours in, definitely another time without the kids lol. Toilets were spotless clean, although the men’s toilets were out of use due to a fresh paint job but had a look in and saw a good spacious clean area with plenty of cubicles and the likes, accessible bathroom was available for men at the time. So all in all had a great experience at Sweet Afton and will definitely be returning and highly recommend to anyone heading to Belfast city with or without the kids.

Avoid this place. Wish I could give no stars. Staff were rude, unfriendly and the place was cold and dirty. Toilets were discussing as was the bar and tables. And too expensive for all this lovely experience. Any 5 star reviews for this place has to be fake, because I have been here on many occasions and it is always the same. On one occasion the gents toilets were flooded and people were walking piss all throughout the building. The place should be shut down.

Been here a few times previously and I would have given 5 stars all round. Tonight though the service was abysmal. Booked as thought it would be busy (again, on previous experience) however not really busy. Got there 5 minutes early and the supervisor took little interest with us. Got seated ordered drinks and a main course everything great. Finished main and waiter took away plates and order for another drink. One of the party wanted dessert and I said we can order when the drinks come. Waited 20 minutes no drinks and went to the bar and ordered. No one came back to take dessert order. Finished drinks and went to bar again and ordered another round of drinks and paid our bill as no one came to ask about any desserts. Finished drinks and left. Main course was spot on no complaints and would recommend but service was terrible. No tip left which was a shame
