Town Square in Belfast

Bit pricey for what it is and the staff are on the aloof side. But nice cocktails.

A great place to relax and have a drink. A lovely space with friendly staff.

I enjoy a regular FlatvWhite there and the occasional meal.

Food and drink cocktails staying over night all amazing the staff can't be more helpful just a great place to stay when you come to Belfast oh and the coffee and food outstanding.

We stopped off here for a drink and a snack and were pleasantly surprised. It’s immaculate inside, the drinks were decent and the food was surprisingly good. Would recommend it here.

Hot man at the bar got me really drunk, very strong drinks, will be back

Very nice. Something going on all day long. Like the rest of Botanic Ave, essentially students. Highly organized store. The staff has it under control. Orders also via QR via app. Good beer selection, good food, good prices. Sitting outside on two sides. Always sun. When it gets cold, there are heaters outside - not exactly ecological. Very nice.

We visited here on 22/09/2024. The food was ok. The chicken goujons served to my child and the chicken stack served to my wife was tough and very chewy. The smash burger was good. The Guinness was an ok pint but I’ve had better in Belfast.

I came here 21 Sept 2024 and had the smash burger, which is the only beef burger currently on the menu. It was a truly small burger - it seemed maybe 4oz (100ish grams) or less of meat which was very salty and certainly contained filler such as breadcrumbs. For £15 this was quite a disappointment, and I left hungry. I noticed restaurants nearby selling a burger for half the price, which given what I was sold, would seem the more reasonable price for the product. My friend who came with me and lives locally said the burgers at Town Square used to be considerably bigger than the one I was served.

Loved every aspect of this place. It is such a good vibe with quick service and great options.

S’mores and halloumi tacos. Great cocktails too

Staff were very efficient, attentive and friendly. Food was gorgeous also.

Nice bar this and a lot less chaotic as others in the area ...nice chilled vibe ...definitely recommend

Great grub, warm and friendly service and a cheery atmosphere. I've eaten here a few times at different points in the day - breakfast, lunch and dinner menu are all great, staff are top notch and very accommodating. Wait times aren't too bad either! Always love coming back to Town Square when I'm in the city 😊

Super delicious burger and cocktails, music a little bit too loud

Great bar if your a sri lankian male looking to bring a local mother to. Aka Mr wattsappp.

Good vibes burger was absolutely shocking as i just ordered it was out of the kitchen in 5 minutes waste of time what a joke

Lovely place for a pint, lovely service. Good food.

We didn't order food but the cocktails were amazing. Really fun and vibey spot. The staff were super lovely and really quick. You don't order at the bar, you order from your table via phone or the staff walking around, this is to stop congestion in the main area which I really liked. This system kept the place from feeling crowded or messy. Beautiful design inside with lovely artwork and furniture. Feels really cohesive and intentional.

Decent enough spot but would not visit frequently

Reasonable price and good taste, I enjoyed so much

Ordered Fish Tacos, was a little heavy on the salt, and mayo. Wish it came with Lime. Other than that, fish was cooked perfectly.

nice and cosy place to eat, drink and booz'e....reasonable place with black and gold colour atmos...lov'd it

Easily the best coffee in Belfast. I have eaten here a few times, and the Fry's are to DIE for! 😍

Cozy place. Excellent burgers and beer. Courteous staff. Cheerful atmosphere.

Been here a few times for beers and drinks and it's always been good. Today there were 6 adults and an 8 month old baby for breakfast. Whilst the menu is short the food, coffee , staff and chilled out atmosphere was excellent and we were able to book online

Only went because nothing else much closer.

Great service using qr codes We did book a table Friendly service and great food and cocktails

please be careful this place charged me twice and i found it very difficult to get my refund I had to contact restaurant on numerous occasions and then had to return to restaurant before I got my money back please be very careful with your bank details.

Great place, lovely food, chill music, good table service via QR, handy if it’s crowded.

Great afternoon at Town Square sat outside and ordered via QR code, fast service and everyone enjoyed

Great tacos and very good vegetarian options. The smores were a nice surprise

We only sat outside so not much atmosphere, couldn't review on the food we didn't eat, although I was told it was lovely.

Just popped in for a quick one. Nice place.

Tell me this place is a parody please ... Sat in bar gale blowing through open door on a wet windy day . Ordered a pint of Guiness poured in basically one pour no wait when I seen the £6.10 charge I nearly walked out..... slapped down in front of me no beer mat no thank you Bar person coughing into her hands and lifting glasses and serving food without washing them ... Place looks like it was thrown together as a money maker zero atmosphere, nothing would entice me to ever come back here 😒

Great atmosphere busy pub loved it

Nice shop. The burgers are very tasty and so is the beer. Order and pay directly from the table using your smartphone, very friendly service.

We popped in here to pass some time before heading off to the airport for an evening flight. Really can't complain, I had some pork tacos and a Guinness. Prices were reasonable, quiet enough setting for the time it was. Nice setting inside.

Sat outside on a glorious, sunny Saturday afternoon. Plenty of outdoor seating and QR codes on the table for ordering. It transpired however that it was quicker to go inside to the bar to order rather than use the QR code. Place is very understaffed. Price of pints is very expensive - 6.50 for Guinness or Outcider.

A quiet and pleasant place to have a coffee. Plus it eats very well. I 100% recommend spending some time at this cafe-restaurant. I really like the hot chocolates that are served in a glass bottle, so you can serve it several times. The white chocolate one is very good! Also orange chocolate. I also recommend the burgers, they are for me the best in Belfast, and they come very well served with sides. Quiet environment, with many young people but not noisy.

Ordering system can be a bit of a pain, but a great brunch spot!

Have been here so many times now with friends and it’s always lovely. Food is great and will definitely be back.

Chopped up pieces of chicken on a bed of airfried chips with some bottled sauce drizzled on top. £14 Not impressed. Guinness was the only thing that was good.

My son and I were in the area because we were going to see HAWKWIND in the Mandela Hall. It was raining fairly heavily so we quickly looked around for somewhere to eat and found TOWN SQUARE. We were not disappointed. We were there at 5pm so it wasn't full but I've no doubt on a Friday or Saturday it most certainly would be. My son had the Buffalo Stack and I had the KFC Burger both were lovely. The burger came with KIMCHI which I've never had and it was great. We washed both meals down with half pints of Guinness, also very nice. The service was friendly and efficient and the music was good. Would definitely be back.

We popped in for a drink in the afternoon,the staff couldn't have been more accommodating and we're super chilled about our kids being there. Lovely decor in a great part of town. Highly recommend!

Good bar with very helpful staff.

I would not recommend this place. We went on St. Paddy's day for brunch, and while the staff was definitely nice, it was clear they were understaffed, despite it not being all that busy in the restaurant. You order via QR code, which is fine, but it was incredible difficult to get a staff members attention unless they were dropping off food, and the food and drink took a VERY long time to come out. Again, this isn't the staff members fault - it was clear they were all working very hard. But management understaffed them which made it had for the service to be good. I would not go back, even though the food was decent.

Burgers we had were the best around the area. Servers were friendly, atmosphere was good. Lots of people (and younger crowds). Music was constantly playing which was nice, although it got a little loud and poppy at times during our first visit. I think they were having some audio issues, hasn’t been like that since.

Drive 30 miles as the advertise a mega pint an when you arrive they inform you they only keep once glass shudnt even be advertised

Friendly, very kind, attentive to the customer

One of the best place to sit and enjoy

Amazing breakfast and lovely setting. Great coffee as well.

A lovely place to be at. Great food and a bit of fun 👍

Sadly not a great experience. Service was really slow despite it not being busy. My cauliflower wings were so awful they were inedible, cool, burnt and the coating so tough. When I sent them back they did remove them from our bill and offered me a free coffee if the bill which never happend. I ordered a coffee with cream and got a black coffee and an offer of milk as they didn't have cream, at that point I just gave up. I'm all fairness the rest of my party enjoyed their meals maybe I was just unlucky but definitely off-putting, personally I wouldn't go back.

Overall no issues here. Staff and service are excellent. Food is great. Burger buns without seeds is a bonus. Nice pint and cocktails. Only down side for us, music is good but loud.

Nice spot, good atmosphere and service. Note, card payments only.

Food was great, a touch pricey for what you get, but losing a star due to cleanliness - table wasn't cleaned/sticky and one of the glasses given ended up being dirty however staff apologised and gave us a clean one. Other than that meal was great and table service is done through QR code/app which worked as needed. Vegetarian options were clearly labelled too.

The food was fabulous, hot and fast. Big thank you to the two girls that took care of us tonight, peggy and saskia. They were super sweet and informative about the menu, even directing us towards some of their favourites!

We were a party of 15, we hadn't pre-booked but they accommodated us no problem. The food was excellent and drink lovely. Not loving the idea of not being able to use cash. Very friendly and patient staff. Lovely place overall.

The food here is actually pretty decent, though the portions aren't massive. My main reason for the low rating is the frankly insulting app driven service the restaurant/bar rely on which actually takes the Mick and makes me want to walk away from the world we live in. It's gimmicky and offensive.

I can't comment on the food as I didn't have any but there seemed to be a few people in enjoying their food. I was in on a Monday and had 3 pints but most people were eating and it was otherwise quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Nourriture correcte, assez basique. Néanmoins pas de carte papier, obligé de payer en ligne sur la terrasse.

Great atmosphere and cuban stack was amazing. Smithwicks.... standard as usual. Cracking pint.

Just back from this pretentious place..waitress brought drinks..dropped the tray of drinks over my disabled friend ..never even suggested a free drink for mishap..the gentleman was soaked. Gents toilets smelled like a sewer..shall never be back.

Cool place. Open late. Dark, private, comfortable. Great selection of non alcoholic drinks. Great prices

Amazing food, definitely recommend the chicken stacks!

The price is ok, the food was taste and it was served really fast For sure I’ll come back

Great food and cocktails! So glad we stopped here for lunch. Would recommend the halloumi tacos!

THEY DONT TAKE CASH !!!!!!!!!! only called in 4 a drink

Absolutely loved this place , food was amazing , staff are so friendly and accomodating , dinner was so good we went there for breakfast the next day , cant wait to visit this little gem of a restaurant again 10 out of 10

Went for a couple of pints. Love the place specially when the weather is absolutely fantastic during summer n u have a small group to sit n chat.... This is the place!!!

Didn't have any food just a glass of wine. Nice place Bit slow on the drinks arriving even though it wasn't busy.

Overpriced gentrified bar. No atmosphere.

The menu is a bit basic, primarily consisting of fried chicken,fries or burgers. Variations on this (Korean,spicy). That’s not necessarily a bad thing provided these components are done well. I had a the Korean chicken burger and it was good, however due to lack of sauce and the two fried chicken patties it was a bit dry. I’m not sure if I’d go back. The staff were very helpful and attentive though.

Popped in for a drink no food however looked amazing! Was on my own and half way through my pint I had to nip to the toilet I asked the bar staff if I could leave it on the bar they said no problem came back they saw me coming a popped it back on the bar will definitely be back on my next trip! Great team work and smiles all around.

Food was amazing staff very friendly n chatty

Food was good. Service was fast. Order off an app and they deliver your food and drinks to your table.

My mate wanted to go as the social media made it look great for a pint of Guinness. We checked it out and the Guinness was very average and the place just seemed a good 20 years out of date. Zero craic and the staff tried to take my glass away when it wasn't empty.

Super tasty meal and contactless order and payment. Loved it there! A cosy place not far from the University

Very nice, interesting bar menu. The stacks are great

Really lovely atmosphere, very chilled out but still sophisticated. The drinks are lovely, I had a no-jito mocktail and I always appreciate a good variety of non-alcoholic options, of which there were plenty on the drinks menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful, so it was a lovely experience

Tried to go for breakfast this morning didn’t seem friendly at all waited thinking someone would ask what we wanted to order but no one came I went and asked a girl who worked their and she said just use code wasn’t friendly at all and when I tried using the code it said soft drinks were unavailable and couldn’t change the egg to scrambled instead won’t be back

A midweek visit for cocktails prior to a Dinner date in another location. A disappointingly short list of cocktails. My partner choose a coffee based cocktail which she rated as 5*. I went for a G&T. A range of gins available together with a choice of tonic.

Buono tutto bel Posto ed..Una birra analcolica buona non la solita acqua Amara Ma di buon luppolo

Schöne und ziemlich modern und stilvoll renovierte Bar mitten in Botanic, gegenüber des Bahnhofs. Card-Only. Entweder man bestellt an der Bar oder sehr praktisch über Smartphone Order & Pay direkt am Tisch. Habe es ausprobiert, die Bestellung kam innerhalb von 5 Minuten. Angenehmes Publikum, freundliches Personal, schöner Außenbereich mit Sitzbänken und Heizlampen, die man bei Bedarf selbst ein- und ausschalten kann. Mein Reuben-Sandwich war exzellent, das Bier in Irland ist es ja sowieso.

Great service 🙌, drink was great $8.95 euros for 1 margarita

Nice bar with lovely outdoor seating. Not a great range of beers on tap.

So shocked and disappointed today. We went down to Town Square for lunch. I love the benches on Botanic Ave. But couldn't even bring myself to sit down for lunch as the whole row of boothes was so absolutely filthy. Between cigarette ash, bits of food wedged between the wooden slats of the tables, cobwebs, a thick layer of dust, stains from dried up poddles of drink, it was absolutely disgusting. Who is managing that place? Please walk along those benches and be honest about what you see on the tables and on the ground. Vile!!!

Lively bar, with good music and food, also the air-conditioned bar works a treat

Remodeled after the pandemic, still has excellent coffee and good food. Ideal place to work or to meet up with friends.

Good mood and there is a frendly staffs. You can order website through qr code.

All young staff , very slow service, can't pay by cash , you can only order if you have a smart phone. You have to open it up on your phone QR barcode So if you don't bring your phone with you don't go to this place .. sorry guys you need to get your act together..

Bon lieu, un personnel agréable, surtout celle qui a discuté avec nous en français.

Good cocktails, excellent chill atmosphere. I definitely recommend.

TSq used to be my favourite spot - I lived round the corner, adored going there for their coffees & carrot cake, their chill and relaxed atmosphere and great breakfast or dinner food... I was a regular from late 2018 to 2021, and it used to be my first choice for drinks or coffee hangouts. However now as the years have gone the food quality and offer has declined, the fries taste and feel like frozen ones you'd find anywhere else, the cocktails (used to have the best espresso martini in town imo!) are very hit or miss (each cocktail tasting different even when ordering the same multiple times), and the music is often so loud (even outside!) it is difficult to maintain a conversation and hear each other if you're not here to yell. The staff has always been lovely, I've never had a bad experience on that front, and the ordering on QR code is very convenient* (*if you have data/a phone plan that includes internet... for tourists or else, if you're expecting everyone to order through phones, the least could be to provide WiFi in a clear way) but the overall atmosphere means I no longer want to stay past 1 drink. I keep going back, hoping to have a better experience, but my last 4-5 visits have been disappointing.

Class wee spot, had the famous mega pint and the staff were lovely

Really nice vibe and good service, the Guinness tap could do with a bit of work though.

Can't vouch for the inside because we only sat on the outdoor benches - which are a little cramped to get into if you're a tall person (!) but it was handy to have a QR code to order drinks while outside, also a heat lamp on each bench. Decent cocktails.

Service could have better, lack of knowledge on how to correctly pull a pint of Guinness and lacked attention to detail - no reflection on staff - but more on lack of training and low wages by employers - a sign of the times unfortunately!
