Cracking pub in the centre of town. We visited on a Saturday night, the football was on and as soon as that finished live music started. Lovely staff who were very welcoming and some cracking pints served up during the evening. Would highly recommend.

The best chips and peppercorn sauce ever so much so we came back everyday to get some they even gave us a portion of the sauce to take away. Can’t wait to come back again.

Best Sunday carvery in Belfast. We have our faves for Sunday lunch and are hard to please! Saw a review of the Sunday carvery at the Fountain and gave it a go. We were NOT disappointed! Fantastic. Generous, fresh and tasty. Stuffing and honey roast ham were highlights. £14.95 for an absolute feed.

Went in the week between Christmas and New Year on our trip to Belfast. The outside looks cool but that’s about it. The restaurant is upstairs and once we entered the dining room, the service staff were rude, told us to wait for a table, as we had 5, when we asked if we could order drinks while waiting, we are rudely told no, when seated it took a while to order drinks and food. General vibe was inattentive. The food selection was okay, the corn ribs were good, probably the best thing with a good flavor. We ordered the large bread starter and it had basic white slider buns on it to dip into oil and a whipped butter style sauce. When we asked what the sauce was the wait staff simply replied, “I don’t know”. The fish and chips seem to be a good size but are tasteless and either overcooked or the oil needed changing. The chicken burger was okay, but lacked any really flavor. The fact that they charge £1 to switch your potato side( fries, chunky chips, mash etc) is crazy and meant we had to get creative with who wanted what and what was their assigned side on the menu and then when the food arrived we did swaps to avoid potentially a £5 addition for no reason. When we were finished, again the servers took ages to clear the plates and for the price I was disappointed. The restrooms weren’t clean, missing soap and paper. Overall a bit disappointing as this was my pick for lunch for our trip. To note- they responded to my review. Asked me to email them, I did and then they never emailed back.

Online booking at 8.30pm. When we arrived they told us that it was possible to order only a main course and refuse the order of a starter. At the end of dinner we still had half a beer to finish and they kicked us out of the table and invited us to continue drinking downstairs. Very cold bathrooms without heating. Food and prices normal, nice environment.

This place used to be lovely. Iv been going there for over 20 years but we hadn't been in a while so we thought we would call in yesterday. Food quality has dropped significantly. We won't be back. Do not order the christmas Quesadilla. We paid £10 for a wrap with cheese melted and very little salty turkey and ham. We left disappointed for the first time ever. 🙁

Was here sat 30th December and dispite being very busy they were very professional and welcoming. We had a reservation for food but arrived 20 mins early and although the lovely waitress said our table wasn’t ready which was understandable. We went downstairs for a drink while we waited, 5 mins later the waitress comes down to find us to let us know our table was ready and we were welcome to come up. I never got the waitresses name but defo a lovely bunch of staff. Food was delicious.. We will return for sure 👌

I have never been so insulted in my life as I was by the bar staff in this pub I ask for a pint of blue moon which I have had before in the same place and he looked at me like something that came of his shoe his first reply was that they didn't sell it so I said then could I have a paint of a citrus IPA and he then replied with, " oh you look like you have been drinking today and I'm not serving you, I replied with, I am stone cold sober and he then said well I'm not serving you and this was embarrassing to say the last as it was Infront of other customers so I told him that I thought he was a cheeky bastard and to which he replied so are you, I realised that his problem was clearly a personal one either with how I looked or how I dressed, this happened me one other time in the same bar and I am almost sure it was the same bar man and older man with a bald head , I would be really interested to know if anyone else has had a similar experience with this place or this barman in particular

Called in for a drink on one of our walkabouts. We were enjoying a chat as it was quiet when a man and his son of about 13-14yrs old came in. A staff member stopped the father, seeming to challenge him in some way. The father and son left and returned about a minute later with a female I took to be the mother. It was obviously a foreign family on holiday. The father and son went to sit down and a staff member approached the father and told him that they had to leave as the establishment doesn't allow training bottoms. We found this quite an odd thing to do. The young lad wasn't very untidy looking and his bottoms were the cotton stretch type, not even like the bottom of a tracksuit. The family left, in shock at having been evicted. We left as soon as we finished our drink. I know that some places don't like football tops and things, but this really was a bit over the top on a weekday afternoon.

We were in the Fountain yesterday afternoon. There were 3 other tables occupied. Drinks arrived promptly but we had to wait 45 minutes for the food. I complained and the waiter suggested that we should order another drink. The food was OK but hard to enjoy after such a wait and we had to rush it. There are plenty of equally good restaurants in central Belfast were the service is much better. I would give the Fountain a miss.

4 of us called into the Fountain Bar on Sunday after a walk round the Xmas market (which was very expensive) didn't know you had to book but luckily a table was free. There was no menu today, it was a special Xmas carvery for £13.95 absolutely worth every penny, plate was warm the turkey and ham was moist and delicious the amount of veg, roast potatoes and mash was very generous. Will definitely return in the new year couldn't fault the service either. Merry Christmas to you all at the Fountain Bar.

I absolutely loved my stay from start to finish, it was just me and the dog. Warm welcome, from reception, swift check in and showed up to my room. I was in the Library room which was so big, spotlessly clean, and a lovely big cozy bed. For a Tuesday night the bar was busy which is always great to see, I sat with two lovely gents on one of the long tables. Great wine selection, and tasty menu and I opted for the Miso Cod, which was absolutely delicious, massive chunky Cod portion with perfectly cooked crushed potatoes and tenderstem brocoli, i could literally eat that dinner every evening. Early night for me, the room is above the bar and you can hear every word spoken below, however as service ended so did any noises and I slept peacefully. Again great variety at breakfast and warm welcome, I would love to return.
