We booked here as reviews looked good. It is part of Henry’s. Don’t be fooled by pictures and reviews. We didn’t stay it was loud cramped and bar stool tables only. It was so loud I had to shout. We and some other people cancelled. More like a bar than an eating place. Upstairs did have tables but it wasn’t open.

What on earth has happened to the Jailhouse? Previously a friendly bar with good craic. The staff on our previous visit behind the bar were lacking in manners. Was one female bar staff mute? She saw me standing at the bar for several minutes, with no other customers to serve. I had to approach her. At the whole time of serving me, she didn't utter one word to me. No please or thank you, no smile, NADA! You could tell she didn't want to be there Atmosphere in the bar was also lacking. Mark the owner needs to pop in every once and a while before his business goes even more down hill. Such a shame as we didn't hang around long.

There were two bartenders working, a group of 3 girls who ordered cocktails, one other girl and then me. I waited ten minutes to be served (during which the bartenders did not look at me or say anything). After ten minutes, the other two groups had been served and I would be next, then another lady joined the bar and the bar tender served her next, regardless of the fact I’d been waiting +10 minutes. The bar tender still did not acknowledge me to say sorry she’d be with me as soon as possible or sorry just making a cocktail then I will be with you. I then left. Terrible service - very disappointing

Went to this amazing place with few friends just for drinks. We got some pints (Estrella) and hot whiskey and everything was really nice. Friendly staff. And the place itself looks fantastic! It's divided for 2 parts - dining area which looks classy and drinking area which looks more rough (in a good way). Great place for couples, great place for drinking with lads

Seven of us called into this bar for drinks (before our reservations at a restaurant) and had been drinking about 2.5/3hrs enjoying the craic when suddenly we were ordered to "leave the table immediately " that we had been sitting at telling us that the table had been reserved. No forewarning or anything, we had just received another round of drinks too, so we said we would not move until we had finished our drinks and why didnt they at least give us 30mins notice. So the staff member went to get the manager who had told him to clear our table and the one next to us, then we see this 'manager' coming stomping down in a rage face like thunder telling us to we had to leave our table right now when we tried to explain that we had not been forewarned therefore we would finish our drinks first, he actually roared "GET THE F*CK OUT OF MY BAR" We were absolutely shocked and disgusted to be treated in this manner. The attitude of this 'manager" was actually very verbally abusive and felt quite threatening to be honest. When another manager called Tiernan heard what had happened he apologised to us for the way we had been treated and said that he would deal with the matter personally. We spent the guts of £300 in there and thats how we were treated. Disgusting behaviour which was completely uncalled for and so unnecessary. It put a dampner on our annual Christmas outing in Belfast...

I would rate this as zero if I could. I understand they are busy due to the Christmas season, but the staffing and management were atrocious. Firstly, the fire alarm went off, which didn't seem to cause even the slightest of concern to staff or patrons. This perhaps should have been a warning to move on. Secondly, glasses were not collected with any sort of haste, so everywhere was cluttered. Considering the drinks prices, one would want sharper service. However, most egregious of all was the management. Apparently tables in the bar (not the restaurant), have a 2hr limit which is not made clear. Since "reserved" cards are entirely absent, a server will just arrive at your table to inform you that this table is in fact booked, and you most vacate it immediately even if you have just purchased a fresh round of drinks. This happened to several tables during our visit, and all were rightly aggrieved. I felt sorry for the servers who had to deliver the news, which seems to be a common occurance judging from other reviews. Not moving fast enough will result in a manager arriving, not to explain that the bar were neglectful in placing a card indicating the reservation time, but to unload attitude and shout at customers to leave. All of this before 5pm. It was one of the most unprofessional customer service interactions I have ever witnessed, and I am genuinely surprised the manager in question has not been given a reprimand. Overall, extremely disappointed with the entire experience, and absolutely will not be back.

I like the bar but our party encountered an odd dining policy on a recent visit. We were seated in the Jailhouse and tried to order bar snacks at around 8pm only to be told that we could only eat next door in Henrys. The two places are essentially the same. The manager refused to let us order for the big table that we had even though 10 m away we could see folks eating. There were no big tables free so we had no choice but to head out for food in small groups to other places, so as to keep our table. The venue thus lost our food order, not a good way to run a pub that's supposed to offer food!

Another great find. Henry's pub and Jailhouse offer pub/sportsbar food with that old, very old feel. It is immaculate in decor and cleanliness while maintaining a medieval feel. Through the back doors, you'll connect to a restaurant known as the public house. A must-see and experience in Belfast. Bathrooms are on 3rd floor but there is an elevator.

We decided to have lunch here on Sunday. The staff are very friendly we ordered a drink which took a while to come, said it was to do with changing Guinness barrel. I ordered the lamb, which I have to say was disappointing. One piece of my lamb was the end part of the roast, which was dry and chewy. I asked for a gravy boat. I got a small clay pot with a very small amount of gravy, which cost an extra £2.50. My partner got the burger, which he enjoyed. The desserts were good.

I'm always surprised when I come here that it isn't busier. I remember it in its original form, this is a total renovation. Actually uses the outside area, one of the Historic Entries, very well. The boss liked the gin list, and I really enjoyed a couple of pints of Staropramen. Nice comfortable surroundings. If you are looking for a quick quiet pint this is the place. The only drawback is the three flights of stairs up to the men's toilets!

Never had a bad experience here until served by a man working at the hot food counter. Incredibly rude and belligerent. Genuinely horrible guy don’t know why he’s working in hospitality with the attitude he has. Every customer is an adult and quite frankly very intelligent and he speaks down to them as if they’re stupid children. Decided against spending money here due to him and hope I never see him again!!!!

In belfast for a break and just got back today. Tried loads of pubs and all were great with a lot having great live music, but Bittles Bar was definitely the best pint of Guinness we had. Loved the decor and the bar staff were brilliant. They even did table service and made sure we had plenty of refills!!! If you're ever in Belfast you have to go to Bittles Bar

Went into subway on Saturday night while waiting for our taxi to arrive. My partner and I ordered 5 cookies as they’re delicious and to be paying customers. We were eating the cookies minding our own business when the security guard told us to leave without giving a reason. I said we’re paying customers and it’s cold outside but he was quite aggressive and kept on telling us to leave. The I assume manager, she was a young girl with a tattoo on her arm, came round from behind the counter and was so rude to us telling us to do what the security guard told us. I’m absolutely baffled as we were literally just eating our cookies doing nothing! It was freezing outside and they told us to leave for no reason. Not how you treat paying customers. The girl and the security guard need some serious training on how to talk to and treat customers. Embarrassing.

Came here for food one evening, food was absolutely lovely (had the stew)... atmosphere ok...but downside was the service, took a while to be served and had to call someone over after waiting 20 mins or so, wasn't that busy either... However, staff were polite and the food absolutely gorgeous, would recommend - but be prepared to ask to be served!
