The Parlour Bar in Belfast

Cheap pints and good food. Perfect seating and a friendly bald man who even offered his own tea.

Not as busy as it used to be but beer and service was decent

Nice pub. Had a quick drink and food with friends. Surprised that it was mostly American food on the menu. I had Frites with chili con carne which is basically chili cheese fries 😆 They had live music in the evening

I went to the Parlour with my disabled friend, she uses a power chair. Staff were welcoming, friendly and accommodating. There is a student vibe, the place is big, spacious, but the atmosphere is cosy and relaxed. There's lots of room, regardless of your physical ability, I imagine it's a great dancing venue💃🕺. And the £6 lunch, £4 pints are amazing value! I'll defo be going with my son's at Christmas 💯

Beautiful bar great location. Friendly efficient diligent staff .

Very reasonable prices and excellent food. Try the pizza it is delicious.

Great pint of Guinness, great service and pizza was tasty.

Popped in here for a pint whilst waiting to attend a concert nearby, good pint of Guinness, friendly staff, quite darkly lit near the University.

Hasn't changed in years. Pure nostalgia trip

Very dark outside until we pushed the doors we didn't know if it was open or not, nice inside plenty of character, friendly enough staff , not busy at all.

Relaxed atmosphere, good for going with friends, family and even alone. Live music. Friendly staff

Very quiet for lunchtime. Food not bad just not enough

Saturday afternoon, not overly busy but still a good atmosphere. Staffvery friendly and reasonably priced drinks

Nice food, good drinks. Nice evening with friends

Great value for money, really recommend if in the area.

Fabulous food and friendly service 😋

Been to this pub for drinks and food many times. You can now order at the bar and they also accept orders via the app which is always handy. They offer some £1/£2 shots sometimes but they're not always available but it's always a nice surprise when they are. Live music in here is always enjoyable, musicians who come here are quite funny at times and will occasionally take song requests. £4.55 for a pint of Cors Light is what you'd expect for a Belfast pub but I was quite disappointed because I thought it was a little cheaper. £3.50 for some bombs and that is pretty good for price. Food here is quite good, I've had salted chilli chicken with peppered sauce and that is one of my favourites. Peppered sauce fries are also quite good and I've had several of their pizza's too. Tea is £1.50 and it usually doesn't disappoint. Overall I definitely would recommend stopping by and grabbing a quite bite/drink if you are around the area.

Had a private function upstairs in Parlour on Saturday and everything was exceptional. The manager we dealt with Rowan couldn’t have been any better, from initial communication via email to payment and on the night. We had kids at the party and he brought them up juice, assisted us with gluten free dietary needs and just in general couldn’t have been more helpful. Exceptional customer service from Rowan.

Worse pint of harp in the city, manager was rude when asked to replace the pints. For the dearer price of the pint in comps with the rest of the city are not justified

Clearly a great place for students with a lovely atmosphere and a popular pub quiz. Good selection of drinks reasonably priced with friendly and helpful staff

Vegan options are truly missing for a place near uni. A bit of a disappointment for todays standards. Otherwise a cool place for drinks and good banter.

Nice place with nice friendly staff.

What a rocking pub. Loved the gaslights and the guitarist was on point!

Typical student pub. Very busy for a Monday. Great atmosphere.

Went when it was really quiet - food was good and they sell refresher bombs.

Definitely a student based bar, we sat in the back garden it was a really sun trap and could have sat there all day.

Great service, bar men are great craic, pints are top and food is worth a wait

Friendly atmosphere, cheap drinks and live music

Had a great night, staff helpful and friendly 👍

Good food, great atmosphere and the pub quiz is super fun!

Never here before pizzas amazing great choice of beer Gas lamps lovely touch bar men very friendly will be back.

Not an amazing selection of draughts but still a good spot for a pint

Surprisingly really good when not packed to the brim with aggressive folks. Great snug and friendly staff

We were here for a team event so only had drinks. The event itself was amazing with the best game of treasure hunt I've ever been part of. The staff were very engaged and the event was very well organised.

Friendly atmosphere serving good food, drinks and live music

Was quiet when we were in. First stop in Belfast for some food. Rather grumpy bearded male member of staff took our orders but got there. Masses of food and all was good. Chilli chips didn't really have any chilli would be the only complaint.

I used to come here 20 years ago as a QUB student. It's still very much a student bar with its drink deals and stomach-lining food but it's welcoming enough to everyone. Has a large beer garden at the back and a huge amount of seating inside which is cool and dark. The drink is much cheaper than the city centre bars - 4 pounds for a pint of Tennents, double vodka and mixer for 5.50, for example. Some awful-sounding cocktail jugs. Great to pop into if you're walking around Botanic Gardens and Stranmillis.

Casual and spacious gastro pub with a pretty extensive menu and specials prices on drinks. Was fairly busy but never really noticed because it is a pretty large space. Service was friendly. Ordered food at the table, but drinks at the bar. A decent variety of beer on draught. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys a pub vibe. You can get the feel from the pictures.

The best bar in belfast! I’d frequent here quite often, with friends, coworkers or the like. I was there recently for the pub quiz and the staff are always so friendly. Prices are some of the best in belfast and a must-stop if you’re visiting the city

Great pizza's here, cheap too. Drink choice could be more varied but it is good enough. Great venue to have a few with a partner or group. Music can be a bit loud sometimes on quieter nights when it's really not needed but that's more of a personal gripe. Great atmosphere ln busier nights.

Great atmosphere with live music and a really cute smoking area

A nice pub a bit dark but good atmosphere an ideal student haunt

Cold food Came here last night, with a group of friends. My food arrived cold. I apologised to the waiter and sent it back. By the time I got the chips and salt and chilli chicken, everyone at the table of five had nearly finished eating. Very disappointing.

Advertised to be open till 1am, refused service at 11.45. Sitting beside bar and no warning of last orders. Shocking.

Went for food absolutely beautiful and staff were fantastic

Last orders not called. False advertisement to lour people in. Very disappointing

Great prices, nice atmosphere & good pub grub - a perfect place to meet up with some friends

Buen bar para ir por tragos o cerveza. Precio de la comida accesible.

Great bar and staff spoiled by toilets that are a health hazzard - waer a mask!

Great prices for drink and food. Great atmosphere too

Price probably best prices in city centre, great gin but poor tap/bottles selection (especially for non larger beers and ciders). Great outdoor area. Consistently worst toilets in Belfast.

The Parlour Bar hidden off the beaten track on Elmwood Avenue has a pretty diverse menu that offers something for everyone. If you are in a group (which is probably the best way to visit) don't miss their sharing platter, the "Parlour Platter," which is loaded with chicken wings, onion rings, wedges, cocktail sausages, salad, and garlic mayo for just £10. And on Thursday nights, join in on the fun with their quiz night. Their pizzas range from classic Margherita at £7.50 to the fiery Parlour Flamer at £10. For those looking for a more filling meal, the Cowboy Supper, consisting of sausage, chips, and beans, is a great option for just £8.50. Now for the negative… There’s a male manager there who was really salty about us sitting together around the big table in the window. In order to group ourselves together (around 20 of us, a professional work group on a night out) we wanted to move the tables closer, he flat out refused to compromise even though we were all eating and spending a LOT - eventually moving us to a small room down the back of the pub where we literally couldn’t see each other it was so dark. I ate my pizza off my knee and I could literally hardly see it. That aside I’d return and would have given 5 stars instead of 3 if not for the un-accommodating manager.

Went for the £5 pizza, wasn't great but pretty good for the price, atmosphere and staff were great, try it out

Cheap drinks and woodfired pizza! The place has a laid back vibe and there's a nice snug area called "The Library Room" which I really liked.

Nice bar nice food and good deals now it's facing queen's student union and mainly full of students but don't let that put you off there's plenty of atmosphere and the food and drink deals are good

Be prepared to pay extra for sauces I ordered chicken burger £10 I asked for BBQ I was told I’d have to pay £1.50 extra my husband ordered Beef burger £9.50 he asked for mustard again he was told £1.50 extra

Está muy chulo (¡tiene lámparas de gas!) y los baños estaban limpios. Tendríamos que haber pedido una pizza del horno de fuego, seguro que están riquísimas. Yo he pedido una ensalada César y no he acertado, le echan pollo frío cocido.

Good atmosphere, quick service from the friendly staff. Table service very quick

We were lucky to get a table on a busy Wednesday night. Enjoyed our wood fire pizza and calzone. Good selection of beers on tap. Situated opposite Mandela Hall in the University Quarter. Pressed metal ceilings and gas lighting a very Irish Hotel would highly recommend to check it out.

Ok for a college bar. Food is pretty mediocre and it has one of the worst quiz nights I’ve ever gone to, so definitely skip that. But they have some fun shots and cocktails that you can share with your friends, the staff is really great, and it’s a good location right by queens university.

Been going to this amazing bar for near 8 years now and again. From open mics to music nights just watching. It’s a great bar and lovely food great atmosphere and u love it when everyone in the bar itself is having a great time. I always have time to meet friends in this terrific bar. Great seats well spaced out.Anto.

I used to eat here quite alot until i was informed thier kitchen doesnt use qualified chefs, kitchen porters are made to do all cooking in an upstairs kitchen (unpaid, of course, only paid for washing dishes). Only ever one chef on duty, typically standing at the pizza oven downstairs with little to do other than oogle at all the young girls. Bit creepy if you ask me. Also, the 'kitchen porter/chef' at the time didnt have a clue what gluten was and couldnt tell me if there was any in any of the food, (direct quote from the very rude irish female head waitress/wannabemanager). Dont leave tips here if ordering food as the kitchen staff dont see a penny of it, all straight into the waiting staff/bar staffs pockets. Personally, I'd rather the kitchen staff got the tips for thier hard work preparing so many meals on minimum wage rather than the rude waiting staff who carry a plate to your table but what can you expect from students

Absolutely great craic. Live music is commonplace and the atmosphere is unmistakably jovial at all times. Great, old style pub with enchanting wooden features. Love it.

Pour a great Guinness and their lunch specials are awesome.

I used to go here when I was a studemt at QUB and now I took my 20 year old daughter..and it hasmt changed! Atmospheric..cozy...very dimly lit but looks like gaslight so be warned..but best of all great food that is very reasonable. Good location but parking is difficult. However food is worth it...portions are big and pizzas are cooked on the spot by the bar. I still enjoy this place and Im glad to see it still around!

Good food. The fish was amazing. Expensive but taste, service was a disaster

Great food and really cool atmosphere, a variety of seating. If you stop by at happy hour they have £3 one-topping pizza!

Called as a party of 4, no booking required. I had a bowl of chips. Reasonably priced, great feed! We also shared a garlic bread. Restaurant clean, service quick

This bar works only till 12 am. Not till 1 am. At 00:01 the waitress will tell you to drink up because they need to close. So he prepared to drink fast. Or just find the other place to chill

A quiet enough but modern bar, with a beautiful beer garden. And exciting bomb flavours!

Nice bar, not too busy. Drinks are fairly priced and pizza is free flowing. Not free.

Really nice Pizza and good drinks selection, sofas were a bit dirty with tissues and food down the back of them but was quiet and nice place for lunch all the same. Chips also had far too much salt, but still tasty.

Schöner Pub mit tollem Ambiente, auch wenn die Getränkeauswahl in anderen Pubs größer ist.

Incompetent staff who cannot establish which customer is next. Unable to remember a two drink order for more than thirty seconds. Toilets are disgusting and without paper. A manager who is no more than a jumped up petty dictator with a Napoleon complex. To use his very own words, "there are plenty of other drinking establishments in Belfast" Heed those words and go elsewhere.

A spacious bar with beer garden. The pizzas are good and there are usually offers on jugs of cocktails, gins etc. A bit dark inside with gas lighting.

The Parlour is a great spot for a chilled night in Belfast. The food is good and at a decent price, particularly their Pizza. However, the drinks are very expensive and unfortunately not very satisfactory. The interior is very cool, with an old style pub feel with a modern take.

Hygiene is a bit hit and miss especially the toilets but an ok wee spot

Great pizza (going back to try the hottest pizza soon) lovely cocktails. Really friendly staff

We went here after a graduation at queen's university the place was dead no life very dark inside we ordered a snack big portains comfortable seating just needs some lighting

Went here after graduation for celebratory drinks. Staff member was so rude. I believe he was actually the manager! Glasses were filthy couldn’t drink water from glass due to smell of beer. Gin glasses cloudy with grime! Glass of Sauvignon blanc that was served was woeful, unable to drink it and when asked the manager to change his reply was I’ll change but you will pay for it and was rudely dismissed! Could not recommend this bar to anyone.

Great venue. Located right next to Queens University in Belfast. Live music, very friendly staff. Highly recommended for a night out

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Dont think for one minute its only for students coz all ages go!!

It's OK great to chill for hours when matches not on tv but when match on screan can be too noisy killing the chilled vib. Though food simple and good prices it doesn't have vegan options for people who can't eat meat.

food was cold and the burgers were still raw

Great pub. Nice atmosphere and good service from the friendly staff. Tasty food at sensible prices. It has a nice big beer garden out back. Recommended.

Nice drinks, good pizzas. Could do with a dip with the pizza however. Bathrooms use paper towels which could be improved.

Love this place. Nice pizza. Live music was great

Brilliant atmosphere. I didn't have food or drink but the pub quiz was great.

Nice cozy pub. They destroyed my stomach with their Hall of Flame pizza but I got T-shirt so everything is okay. But seriously don't eat that pizza.

Nice pub/bar in the university quarter, often full of students, with lots of space and a small menu with a bit for everyone (but I recommend the pizzas as they worth a visit). Pretty clean and reasonable prices. Only negative aspects... they advertise as having live music everynight but there was none when we visited the weekend after St Patrick's day. Maybe it was too early in the night, but there was nothing advertised either.

Great food in a good pub enjoyed our night out here

Lovely stand in bar man from the Chelsea today and he was just fantastic! One drink turned into three!

Pizza deal between 3 -6pm. £3 for woodfired pizza with 1 topping on top of a margarita e.g. pepperoni. Drinks were fine. Feels a bit dark inside, (we are not students) but this is definitely a student hangout place. They also have original gas light lamps.

Great pit stop following a graduation.

Great spot for food and drink. Drinks always arrive quickly!

Relatively cheap and very good vibes

Good beer friendly staff and quick service. Mind you it was 6pm

Maybe one of the last cheap bars left in Belfast

Great wee place to visit. Lovely pizza and good value drinks
