Stopped by for a quick solo late lunch and unexpectedly had the best eggs Benedict in a while. Brilliant taste and presentation, the eggs were perfectly poached, the hollandaise was light and full of flavour. Had a gin enjoying the sun and people watching on their outside tables. Part of me wished I could sit in as well as the interior is very nice, maybe better for an evening meal/drink though. Would definitely recomment, excellent price per value ratio

I was here for birthday celebration and the staff were unreal - so helpful & attentive. Really great cocktails and charcuterie boards. The interior is fabulous too!

We were staying in the area and were looking for a place to have a drink after dinner. This place looked good from the outside, so we went down. It had a welcoming atmosphere, and there wasn't a huge queue outside, which appealed to us more than the competition. The average age seemed a bit more appropriate too, over 30, where as everywhere else was a bit younger. Great whiskey selection, friendly quick service too.

We have been turned away 3 times in as many weeks recently. Staff were rude and unapologetic. First time we arrived one minute to twelve, we were told to leave as they weren’t open yet( they open at 12!), rather than say “please take a seat, we’ll serve once bar is open”. Second time, they apparently had a private function on and weren’t serving until 4pm, they serve d the couple who came behind us, they weren’t part of the private function! Third time we stood and stood and waited to be served, sorry we weren’t turned away, we actually left, never to return!!!! Try Whites Tavern……. Excellent service and food and really made to feel welcome!!!!

Love the atmosphereUnderground lights with good chill jazz bass music.Food is average, I didn't really liked the bourbon pulled beef pizza because there is a sweet sauce, probably from the caramelized onions that takes over all the flavor. There isn't enough beef as well.Halloumi is dry and not that good.Miso Steak is fine, it was well cooked inside but a little too burnt outside.The onion ring was dry as well.The prices for the pizzas are surprisingly cheap.

Lovely cosy basement bar, fantastic cocktails, can get very busy to hard to get a seat but with live music etc on a night out it's still worth a stop

Plenty of other bars, lounges and pubs to go to, avoid this spot and give them no business, especially if you're a minority.Came here during a vacation to Belfast and I tried getting drinks from the bar and was told to take a seat at a table and that they would serve me. After half an hour, that never happened so I got up and got my own drink.This is where is gets bad-I wanted to try another drink since I was visiting and got up from the assigned table I was at. I specifically told a bartender & server that I'd like to order another drink but want to use the restroom first, please save my table.Once I came back from the restroom, they had just seated 3 people at my table, to which I didn't think much of. The bartender that was making my drink said I'll bring it to your table and I told him that your server just seated some people at my table while I went to the restroom. The bartender said to tell the server to get my table back otherwise I don't get my drink, which seemed a bit weird.I explained the situation to the server per the bartender's request and asked the server to get my table back. The server told me to ask the patrons that were at my table to move (felt weird but I just wanted to try one more cocktail). I went to the patrons, briefly explained what happened and asked if I can get my seat back, to which the patrons loudly replied to me with some profanity and to go back to where I came from you Sand (N-word)".The patrons

Great location, great atmosphere away from the busy Christmas markets. Cocktails galore, pints of Guinness were on point! Service and staff had a firm grasp of the floor - however when it gets busy it was all hands on deck for them. Seating numbers are grand but again when it gets busy prepare to stand. The interior design is awesome. Very lit up and cosy. I would definitely come back here for drinks again and would try the food next time as well. 8/10 great spot!

Cant really offer a review other than tried for a week to book a table, repeatedly told to email their bookings address, now one week later and no response. Have called only to be told there is nothing the staff can do and SOMEONE will get back to me, still waiting. I'm sure the food, service and atmosphere is wonderful shame ill never know..............
