The Garrick Bar

Reviewed By AK_Steve_AK

We wanted to eat bar food for dinner tonight ... particularly pot pie. We sort of happened on The Garrick and were pleasantly happy. Food was good not superb. There was very good variety. Everything we asked for they pleasantly obliged. I probably won't go back because there are so many other places to try in Belfast. But if it were the only place, I certainly would be a regular.

Well worth a visit if in the area. Had tacos & the parful fries which were delicious along with good cocktails. Called in at lunch time and although busy got seated quickly, service good - quick and efficient. Good value for amount of food we got for it. Great atmosphere - chilled out dining!

Called in for lunch on Saturday which is not really unusual for us as regular visitors.Lunch was fab as always and great menu choice. Served by fast and efficient staff. Great place to meet up with friends in a quirky little pub with big atmosphere. Craic is mighty, as they say!What saddens me are reviews that don't describe the place and vibe too accurately.As grown up reviewers you would think that people could turn the other cheek if you have a personality clash with someone? I thought as you got older this was easier to do? But, obviously not for some.Hi Willash88 Sure it's nice to be nice and twice as nice to know how to be nice. That stated your observation re " reviews that don't describe a venue and vibe too accurately"-----is on the money. This as opposed to opinion on or about other homo sapiens-- who work in a premises but may not be on duty at the time of a visit of other patrons or indeed perhaps no longer employed at the premises is a "bum steer". Thank you for your input

Had a drink in one of Belfast's oldest buildings. Really dark inside so watch your step. Prices are reasonable. Live music and beer garden which is covered which is good. Not really that big but great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Yardbird upstairs if you fancy a bite to eat.

Muriels Cafe Bar

Reviewed By TheGourmetBoys

Muriel’s is always an old favourite of ours so called in for a couple of martinis and had the two platters one of cheese and one of hummus, just as a little nibble.Then we had to move table as where we were sitting had been previously reserved but that wasn’t a problem. We moved on into the bar area and had our main courses all of which were great.Muriel’s has a nice friendly “front sitting room” feel. Always great staff excellent food and the cocktail list is wonderful

I had lunch with family here and we were looking for a fry. The waitress was accommodating and said the chef could customise their ‘fry in a bap’ for us. I had the avocado, poached egg on toast and it was very small. I left still hungry and it didn’t have roasted tomatoes as other images showed. The poached egg was hard and disappointing as was the overcooked single slice of bacon which cost and additional £1. I shouldn’t have bothered as it was tasteless. The coffee tasted nice, however was very small.I am sorry that you left less than fully satisifed with our food offering. The coffees only come in one size (8oz), which is the standard for a specialty coffee shop. However, I would love if you could email me with the time and date that you ate with us so I can investigate the matter of the missing item and the poor quality food. Thanks
