A spare of the moment gig booking while we were over in Belfast. A most excellent choice. Music was fantastic. Atmosphere was better. A relatively small venue for a gig. Which makes it perfect to have one.

We entered spontaneously for advertised live music. Great atmosphere, prompt service, friendly staff, delicious beer, and most importantly: Awesome live music and great crowd!

Solid spot for some pints and music. Nothing crazy either way but the aesthetic pushes it to four stars. Service was quick before it got busy and the pint came from a can so I can't speak to the quality. Haven't had the food.

Really love this place. Was a private function so we had outside caterers which was lovely. Great atmosphere and beautiful building. One of my favourite places. Train station right next door too!

Status Quo tribute band. Excellent! Fab night and music far exceeded my expectations...I'd go so far as to state that they are even better than the originals! Brilliant group of people! Check them out and don't miss the next gig-I won't! 5* all round!
