We were up in BELFAST and popped in here on the strength of recommendations on Google maps and we weren't disappointed.
My wife had the BIG BURGER and I had a special of VENISON SAUSAGES AND ONION MASH. The fries that came with the burger were the nicest I've tasted in a long time and I had a half pint of Guinness to accompany my meal.
It's open from 10am for breakfast and they serve meals up to 4pm when the place becomes a proper bar.
Tables are well spaced out, service is prompt and friendly and the loos are spotless. We will definitely be back.
We had food here on Bank Holiday Monday in May. When we entered the place was pretty full.. they were able to sit us at the other end of a big round table which was great but apart from those seats the place was full. Staff were really friendly especially the guy who took our order and brought us our food. Really attentive and friendly without being over the top. Only negatives about my visit was the food took quite a while to come and the doors were a bit sticky. I had the waffles and chicken and it was lovely, would definately get it again. Would recommend.
Had a really nice lunch at the National. Went for the Triple Decker Ham and Cheese toasty and fries. Not the kind of place I have lunch on a Monday but Iβm glad I did. Food was great and the Espresso I had after was spot on. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Iβm sure this place is bunged on a Saturday.
Loved the music in the garden area. The beer was served ice cold just as I like it. Great time!
We popped into The National just for cocktail. Nice range on the menu and all the drinks are made fresh in front of you at the bar. Lively atmosphere, we didn't go outside but there was live music on which was played inside.
We didn't have food but it looked really good so may try next time.
Brilliant bar with great music and a good tap selection.
Went for lunch with friends. I had the eggs benedict special. I'd highly recommend it.
Had some lovely cocktails here, very fresh and fruity. The decor was amazing, unlike anywhere I've been before. In the back they had live music and pizza, which smelt and looked very good. Defo pop in for a drink if you can!
My partner & i was at the National yesterday for the first time. We called in for a quick drink. So glad now that we did. This place has a real "London" vibe about it. Very spacious airy cool retro vibe π. The staff where all very friendly. They explained to us there is 5 different bars above them. Including a rooftop bar πππ Will definitely be calling back here for a visit to check out the rest of the bars....so yes "The only way is up" π π
Just popped in for a quick drink. No physical cocktail menu available, just a qr code. Fine for me, but some won't like it. Actually found one just before we left even though the barman said there wasnt any π
Got a pint of Estrella which was good, and a margarita cocktail served in a tiny glass.
Place is nicely decorated and the service was fine.
Don't let the trendiness put you off, the food is amazing and the atmosphere great. Chicken and waffles and an aperol spritz were a great "lazy Sunday on holiday" feast. A flat white was the best accompaniment to the densest most chocolatey brownie ever.
One of the more desirable drink locations in Belfast. Attracts a generally good crowd, multiple floors and spaces to suit preference.
That said The National is typically packed in way past any sane capacity and even then with long queues to get in. A venue where I'm always happy to go and then regret trying when I do.
Nice ambience and lighting. We were at a company networking event (good choice of venue), but would happily go there again for a drink.
Amazing service and great iron work on the roof and the outside garden. Very well styled. The food was π... Will visit again
Couldnβt fault it. Had a working brunch here - the brunch bap was amazing. Portion of chips huge. Stayed to work for an hour after with an iced coffee and lemon and coconut traybake slice. Everything was amazing and the service was great too!
Another favourite bar of mine in Belfast. Since they spruced up the backyard with an outdoor bar and live music area, it's definitely a hotspot in town for all. I would recommend that if you're in Town, give it a visit you won't be disappointed. Great beer selection too! I didn't try the food, so I can't comment on that.
Delightful service. Very versatile premises open from early am to late night. Good breakfast menu, nice coffee. We had lunch and breakfast at 1145. I can't eat lettuce so the tapas were a bit bare for me, but very tasty indeed. Extremely enjoyable.
Food was soooo delicious! I had the eggs florentine ( the bread was heavenly ) and hubby had the vegetarian brekkie. Both of they were spot on. Our coffees were ππ»ππ».
Loved the vibe and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place.
