Sweet Afton Bar & Kitchen

Great spot that was recommended last minute by one of the staff of the Europa when we told him what kind of place we were looking for. We were looking for a comfortable rustic bar with a good atmosphere (not too quiet as we had a couple of 10 year olds in the group) and with really good quality food and drinks. This was exactly what we were looking for, atmosphere was perfect, music playing but not too loud at all, staff were brilliant, unbelievably attentive and really quick with drinks orders and any requests we had, service was definitely 5 stars for us on this particular experience. Quite a strong menu, there was a lot of stuff I wanted to order, basically I would have eaten anything off the menu which is always good, not too experienced with prices in Belfast City centre but for the quality of the food and service we got I was pretty satisfied, I got the duck breast which was perfectly cooked and a really high quality meal, so that was another 5 stars from me. I went for the Peroni draft beer option, really gorgeous pint, a bottle of white wine was ordered for the table and apparently that was gorgeous too, the seating and lighting and all round atmosphere was fantastic, just really relaxed and definitely the kind of place I could have easily spent a few hours in, definitely another time without the kids lol. Toilets were spotless clean, although the men’s toilets were out of use due to a fresh paint job but had a look in and saw a good spacious clean area with plenty of cubicles and the likes, accessible bathroom was available for men at the time. So all in all had a great experience at Sweet Afton and will definitely be returning and highly recommend to anyone heading to Belfast city with or without the kids.

Went inside for a diner for 2, wasn't disappointed at all. Ordered 2x the sirloin steak (medium rare) and the caramel syrup fudge as desert. The sirloin steak came with fries and a peppers sauce. All was very tasteful and enjoyed this fully. The wine came in a dirty glass and asked the waiter to get a new one, without hesitation he took the old ones and gave a new one. The live music was a bit too loud to have a normal conversation with someone. It's a little bit over-priced in my opinion but the atmosphere was ok, and the food was good.
