The Jeggy Nettle Pub in Belfast

Dog friendly pub with Erdinger zero. What's not to love

So, we had our dog in a "Dog Friendly" pub called Jeggy Nettle in Stranmillis. One that our dog (Kobe) has been in numerous times with no issues. Today, as usual, he caused no issues, in fact, attracted a lot of attention for good reasons, even children were happy playing with him. After 2/3 hours of 5 of us giving Jeggy Nettle good custom, we took Kobe out to go to the toilet. However, on the way back in, there was a door man present (no licence on display) who had denied us entry back into the bar stating "that dog needs a muzzle" "that's a fighting dog and will scare our customers". Baring in mind we were already in there prior to his arrival and had nothing but compliments about Kobe. I would also like to point out that the staff within the bar had even agreed with us and said about how lovely he is as a dog and has caused no issues (quite the opposite) in the last couple of hours. This is an absolute disgrace and is part of the reason that innocent dogs are being put down on a daily basis. Can everyone please share to get this horrible man's face out in public. P.s Kobe IS NOT an XL Bully and we have certificates to verify this.

I used to enjoy this pub but I don't understand how you can willingly price gouge to such an extreme extent this far from the city centre.

Veery poor.. used to call my “favourite bar” in Belfast. Was a regular and happy to pay the outrageous price for a pint outside Belfast city centre. No longer.

I was here when their pizzas were delivered (oven pizzas In a box bunged in oven and sold for a tenner). Luckily they do allow food to be taken in from proper takeaways. It's also very cold in the pub (patrons sitting in coats and jackets is a common sight) and expensive for an outer city venue. Lot of potential going to waste with this pub One to avoid

Always great to stop by and get a pint and a yarn with Shane behind the bar. Great service and very friendly!

One of the best pints of Guinness I’ve had in Belfast. Cheers Nicky!

Great atmosphere and a decent selection of your drinks. The pub has a cozy and welcoming vibe, with seating areas tucked into corners that gives privacy to its patrons. It can get quite crowded however, especially on weekends, so finding a good spot becomes challenging. A plus side is the live music which really aided to the feel. The biggest downside, however, was the pricing - the drinks and food felt noticeably overpriced for what you’re getting.

Lovely pub, great service by Nicky.

Packed, super packed. Saturday evening. Standing room only

Nice pub near ulster university.

One bar staff and a busy pub. Poor showing by management

Just in for a pint Really good Guinness Nice atmosphere Great location

Quite crowded but very friendly - the beer was delicious 😋

The dart board is a waste of time

Lovely atmosphere. Was in for drinks, just all so dog friendly.

I bought a much yearned for pint of Guinness Zero on Thursday 5th September 2024 @10 -30 pm . It was served warm . I told the bar man it was warm he said he had taken the can from the fridge and it had been stacked there that morning another barman then intervened and said the fridge was useless and doesnt work properly and doesn’t chill the contents of the fridge . He offered me another can which felt the same as the initial one - I refused . They suggested I stick the pint glass with the warm Guinesss in an ice bucket whilst I drank it. I did this . It didn’t work for 3/4 of the pint and it only felt cold for the last few drinks I took from the bottom of the pint glass . Totally unsatisfactory experience and at £5-40 a complete waste of money and annoying that no recompense was offered . I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

Great Pub! Lovely atmosphere, great selection of drinks, a warm fire and dogs roam freely. What more could you want? Lots of cozy spots as well as larger tables for bigger groups.

Half local/Half student pub....always a good atmosphere!

Lovely dog friendly pub. They show football and have live music and pub quizzes. Nothing to complain about. Prices are standard.

Great location, and you can bring your dog as well. Lovely atmosphere!

Great place. Atmosphere really good but found it very pricey

Selling £3 iceland pizzas for £10 . Bunch of scanmers

It's probably more of a student bar. Friendly service.

Met up with people after the Friar's Bush tour and had a Belfast Bap and packet of Tayto crisps!

Lovely place, bar tenders can be a bit full of themselves.

we will always return for the curly-headed man ❤️

Lovely wee bar , dog friendly and lovely atmosphere definitely recommended

Joined some academic colleagues for a drink here after a conference in Queens. Prompt service, good pints, outdoor space, clean toilets and suitably distributed seating indoors. Safe.

Great place. Great atmosphere. But they close at 1.15 exactly.

Updated review. Service is now appalling. Potential to be the best pub in Belfast. Allows you to bring your own food. Very relaxed. Good range of drinks. Generally good, but was in on a Saturday afternoon and staff had abandoned the bar. Waited for 15 minutes, no sign of anyone, we left. Now sitting in another bar spending our money there. If you're open, be open to serve. At least, communicate to potential customers i.e. leave a note informing them what is happening eg if you're away to the toilet or something. Back again, staff seem poorly trained and seems like no one is managing the place. Going downhill.

Never disappointed coming here. If you are a dog lover/owner then really is no better spot that I know of in the area.

So many friendly dog! The bartenders were also very welcoming, even to us clear out-of-towners.

Everything is great apart from the prices - probably the most expensive student area bar I've ever been in to be honest - could do with some mid week promos or a happy hour really

Lovely place,dog friendly, Great staff .Nice pints

We visited after a visit to the Ulster Museum. Lovely friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Love this pub. Bringing friends from Donegal here on Friday night. Looking forward to it 😃

Service is slow. Drinks are expensive.

This an awesome little bar which seems to always have a great atmosphere, does live music, food on occasions, had good bar staff and this place encourages and caters for dogs. Well made cocktails, cosy seating nooks and friendly locals all year round. Ended up going 3 times in 5 days, despite being outside of city center. Located right next to Botanical gardens and good eateries which the pub allows you to bring in anytime. Thanks for a great visit guys... 👌🍻

Good for a few pints. Not many people needed for a good atmosphere

My favourite pub in Belfast. Fantastic atmosphere, great live music, best Guinness we had all weekend. Will definitely return on my next visit to Belfast.

Fab local pub. All ages and types of folks, dogs make it feel homey and fun.

Just popped in for a couple with our dog friend....so lovely to be able to do so as part of our evening walk.

Cosy neighbourhood bar with great Guinness and atmosphere.

I love any bar with a fireplace. Jeggy Nettle is a lovely bar!

Called in for a couple of drinks after a play at the lyric. Nice atmosphere. Live singer was pretty good too.

5 hell yeahs out of 5 hell yeahs for me

Had a lovely time... Happy chilled pup

Great wee place first but not last visit. Nice touch with the crisps and belfast bap

Wine to expansive. Toilet not nice. Pizzas boxes every where

Great REAL PUB feel..... ....not to mention the free crisp baps

What an absolute gem of a pub in Belfast. Just up the street from botanic gardens where we had a lovely autumnal walk with our Doggy then seen this inviting looking pub across from where we parked we thought we'd check it out. We loved it. Our dog loved it and we'll definitely be back. It's like a pub from a hundred years ago but comfortable, warm, friendly, relaxing and with an amber glow. The vibe is chilled. The patrons and dogs are well behaved and friendly. The fire was lit and stoked regularly, the drinks were cold and the background music perfectly framed the whole scene. Best dog friendly pub I've ever been in, by far!

Fantastic pub with great decor and live music. Is also a brilliant spot to catch the football as it’s very well laid out and has plenty of TVs. Guinness is top notch and bar staff are brilliant. It’s dog friendly and you’re allowed to bring in your own food - I recommend Giuseppes Pizza on Malone Rd (across from the Bot) and a pint of plain in Jeggy, you wouldn’t deny the wife’s boyfriend that combo, simply perfect. Only downside is the price point making a visit to Jeggy Nettle more of an occasional treat as opposed to a regular local but it’s earned 5 stars nonetheless.

Best pub in Belfast for taking the dog any day of the week. Have been going since it opened and can vouch it's a dependable meet-up spot, as well as somewhere to head for a catch-up on a night out, rather than venture into town and get bombarded with "acoustic". Update: so I have a mystery I need solved. The means toilets upstairs always has the right cubicle locked for years now. Doe ANYONE know why?

Urgent need to remove the microphone, and not give a voice to young local performers. Fantastic quiz as of January 2023. Wee bit spenny. Attendees are a good mix, look out for the 40-something skateboarder at the bar.

Great atmosphere, good vibes and superb Guinness.

Bardzo fajny mały bar z bardzo klimatycznym wystrojem

Nice wee pub in a student area, allows dogs which is nice. Although £6.35 for a pint of Peroni is a bit ridiculous

An outstanding tradition pub in the university area. A very mixed crowd but always very friendly and welcoming. The Guinness is very good and I'm told the lagers are very good quality. The décor and service are excellent. The craic is very good when the rugby is on. One of my favourite pubs in Belfast

Always a nice atmosphere and live music is very good. Selection of draught beer on tap could definitely be better and more extensive, and often there is not enough seating.

Too noisy for me, I've been here before and it's always too noisy but my friend insists on meeting there before we go into town. I can't believe how everyone is trying to talk over the other table's around them. Nightmare 😨

Great pint of Guinness and a cool place. Old school decoration and rustic look.

Quiz night always a good challenge

Drinks were a bit pricier than other places nearby but the atmosphere and the service was great and so I'm giving it a 5 star review 👌

Frequented this establishment during our stay in Belfast. Prices are reasonable, locals are friendly and singers/trivia entertaining.

Popped in here for a quick pint while waiting for a restaurant table. The pub is really good: old school studenty rough-around-the-edges vibe. Good friendly bar service, nice selection of beers. Busy, friendly atmosphere. Good music. It's the kind of pub to spend time with friends having a good craic.

Lovely staff. Free crisp baps at 5pm. Nice atmosphere.

Great spot very quirky lots to catch your around the walls...called in Friday night, live music which was great and the Guinness was spot on

Quite friendly, as you would expect from any pub around Belfast. Lots of nooks to lose yourselves in! They serve a very good Guinness.

I don’t think I’ve been in anywhere in Belfast like this before. Really mixed crowd, old and young, tourists and a few dogs. Really well done inside and it seemed like you were in a local bar in the middle of nowhere. The fire was great as well 👍

Great venue, nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly. Could do with more seated areas inside.

Warm, friendly atmosphere, decent range of drinks available. Not too loud to have a conversation!

Excellent quirky pub…you can end with amazing discussions with the locals here! Another time...heaven...Guinness...Fire...and Prince

Great spot, really enjoyed the atmosphere and the lovely whiskey glass. Great staff too.

What a lovely place. Warm and welcoming on a quiet Friday afternoon.

Just the best ..... Big warm fire if you can get there in time to steal the table beside it .... Attentive Staff and great atmosphere !!!

Nice cosy atmosphere and good beer

Great pint of Guinness as always, could’ve had more staff on though. A delivery arrived and the barman was on his own. About 20 people in and he had to keep running back and forth. Felt bad for him as service was great but trying to balance both things was clearly a struggle. Will certainly return anyway

Over priced rip off, and no good beers are on draft either. Avoid if you can, though South Belfast is a bit of a desert for nice drinking houses hence why places like this pop up and survive

Cozy and warm pub with a great atmosphere. They have a nice big fireplace that adds such a delightful ambiance. Nice gin selection and the bartender was helpful and friendly in helping me pick a drink I would like. I also really recommend the quiz night, Tuesday’s at 8. It’s great fun and I met some new friends by participating.

Would not even give this establishment 1 star if there was an option for 0 - rude staff, an incompetent manager and overpriced drinks. Our private room was double booked, the manager allowed another party to be in our pre-decorated room. Nothing was done about the situation, we had to move our own decorations downstairs to the main pub, no hospitality was provided to apologise for their mistake and staff were hugely dismissive about their error, especially the manager. The security man was mocking to members of our party about the situation and made personal comments about someone’s appearance. A truly terrible experience for an event that should have been wonderful.

Meh. Service is poor to middling. Average pint (rushed guinness with an overflowing head). Quite cold, particularly at the back. Atmosphere is odd, decor is sort of grannys house chic, but designed by someone who has never been in their granny's house. Dog friendly, which is fine...if you like dogs.

A cozy bar for a moderate night out

Loved the vibe of this place. The staff were lovely and the music was great! Recommended for groups of friends.

Expensive but a good vibe. Love that dogs are allowed in.

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere, well worth a visit

We were surprised to find a lively bar on a Monday night. There even was live music. Lots of young people and the service was very fast, we never had to wait to be served drinks at the bar. We had a lovely evening. Would recommend if in the neighbourhood.

As a bar its great, friendly staff good service. I wouldn't recommend it for a birthday party if you want to dance but as a pub its great

Great relaxed pub. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere

Ooooh yes!!!! A proper lovely cozy pub atmosphere. Not like some of the sterile wine bars in the surrounding area. Love this place.

A cosy and fantastic pub with a great atmosphere and very friendly staff and the pints were so good very nice pint of Guinness and Hop House 13. Will definitely be back again and again and especially for the pub quiz nights.

Friendly atmosphere. Nice bar staff. Old school pub.

Great pub, family friendly, dogs allowed and great Guinness. Perfect for anyone and everyone.

Quite busy ,singer was pretty good and in a small bar not to loud.

Dogs dogs dogs dogs fire and sound staff. They even give out tayto crisps and belfast baps to keep the earlier of the drinkers on their feet 🥴 Pubs don't get much better than this. Did I mention they allow dogs?

Authentic Belfast pub with great character and cracking Guinness

Dog Friendly, quirky bar always a good atmosphere

Decent pint of Guinness & dog friendly

A bit too expensive for the level of service you get. I think people go here because of location and it's pretty cosy with the fire lit and they allow dogs.

A great place to visit on a Sunday. The music and atmosphere is electric or you can chill out and relax.
