Total Trash Bags. I have always had strong Irish Pride and was under the impression, we were all in unison, especially in Ireland. I couldn't have been more wrong! Our tour group (20 adults) felt the immediate diversity in this town, the moment we entered. We were turned away from this bar as well as several others in the area from having an Irish southerner as our guide. We couldn't wait to get away from the bad vibes and go towards a more positive part of town. (AKA not protistan territory). Shame on Filthy McNasty, who clearly lives up to their name. read more

I love this place. Great service. Live music. Strong drinks. Always a good time!!!! read more

I love Filthy's. Its got a quirky décor (I remember, as does probably half of my generation in Belfast, having my pre-formal here when it was Dempsey's) friendly staff and a great atmosphere. House wine and prosecco are reasonably priced and its right in the heart of Dublin Road. This makes it super handy for a starting point going into town, or a finishing point after a meal in any number of the surrounding good restaurants. The biggest star of this bar though is it's beer garden in the warm weather. Absolutely amazing outdoor space, with 2 levels of seating, gas heaters for when its cold, bare and painted old brickwork and just a general feel of trendy. To be honest if I am over this end of the town, it would always be the first option that pops into my head! read more

Filthy McNastys - Fab interior decor - Lounges Near Me - Belfast, BFS

I really like Filthys, there a bit of something for everyone due to its many sections The decor is unique and quirky, when you first walk in it looks like a tiny dark bar with little seating but once you walk out the back it's something else. A great spot out in the 'secret garden' during sunny days, although it's not such a secret garden anymore so fills up quickly! I particularly like sitting out the back in the winter though under the shelter of the shell of the old building next to the big open fire - magic read more

Filthys is pretty nice with a range of different sections to it, but it's freezing, even the indoor parts, so wrap up warm or bag one of the outdoor seats that are at a nice big open fire. There are plenty of bars and the cocktails in the Filthy Chic bit are delicious. The sloe gin fizz is almost as good as The Albany, but not quite. read more

Filthy McNastys - Sian L getting the cocktails ready :) - Lounges Near Me - Belfast, BFS

I love 'filthys'! It's quirky and funky. Has plenty of lights and candles! Good music and nice drinks! A fireplace in the garden and a lovely atmosphere! I do think there is something magical happening in the secret garden. Sitting down, drinking a bottle of wine, chatting with friends,warming up near the fireplace with lights and candles all around! It's magical!! The place is a mix of different bars/areas, all very unique that results in a good combo! The inside area can be a bit cramped, especially over the weekends or when they have live music - like on Tuesday nights and drinks can be a bit overpriced. However their range of beers is quite good, including some craft beers. This is my favourite bar! There is nothing like the secret garden for me! Summer or Winter, I will always be there with my bottle of wine enjoying a good company. I love 'filthys'!! read more

Filthy McNastys - by night! - Lounges Near Me - Belfast, BFS

Filthy McNasty's There are loads of reviews on here talking about Fithy McNatsy's famous Secret Garden but I want to talk about Filthy Chic - Filthy's classy refined sister bar. I say sister bar because it has feminine feeling about it - I'm not saying you have to be a girl to go in there, but it would help. The bar is lathered in lilac, pinks and purples and they specialise in cocktails that no macho man would be seen dead drinking. If you read that opening paragraph you might think that I didn't like Filthy Chic, on the contrary..... I'm a massive fan! I think it adds a welcome bit of class to the Dublin Road - there aren't many bars in Belfast that are cool and classy all at the same time but I think Filthy Chic encompasses those two elements. One thing I especially loved was that the attentive bar staff/cocktail waiters delivered a flute of popcorn (sweet and salted - the perfect combo) to the tables. Free popcorn - what more could you want? Give Filthy Chic a go, even if you are a pint slinging superhero - you never know you might just like it! read more

If you go in here expecting some shiny, glamorous cocktail bar you are going to be sorely disappointed. It is all in the name- filthy. Then again if you are looking for somewhere to have a few pints, that isn't pretentious and has a big beer garden for smoking fags, then this is the place for you. The owners have made great use of the space with every available nook or corner having a table in it, but the shabby chic has become a little tired in places, especially in the cocktail bar area Filthy Chic. I don't want to be mean, a good night out can be had anywhere if the company is good, but here I just want to get out my Marigolds. And if you don't know what Marigolds are, perhaps this is the bar for you! read more

What a funny name, Filthy McNastys. To clarify, It's not a strip joint. I know because I went in deliberately just to find out what this place was! ;) This stop is a fusion from a modern Irish pub and club. You have indoor and outdoor seating (with heat lamps) and a patio in the middle of the place where guests are welcome to smoke as they make new friends for the night. I would recommend this place for groups or parties. read more

I can't leave a good review of a place if they don't let me and mine in the bar. Don't give them your business because they clearly don't need it. Go somewhere more inclusive. read more

Great wee spot, Very much enjoyed it here. Great outdoors area with open fire as well and partially covered to shelter from our unpredictable weather ! Went into filthy shek as well and had some lovely cocktails ... Sloe gin fizz is delightful :) read more

I'm a fan more of filthys early in the day rather than on a busy Saturday night - inside they have lovely sofas that you can spend hours talking to friends and the odd time they have a live band in. The big pull however for this place is the secret garden - must be too munch of a secret though as it seems everyone knows about it as it is always full - if you are lucky enough to get a seat out here it is a lovely setting with open fires and lots of heaters so rather than the usual bringing the outdoors in they seem to have the opposite of bringing the inside out! They also have an off shoot bar called Filthy Chic which is the cocktail bar. All in all it is always packed and sometimes can be too busy for the elderly patrons like myself who just want somewhere nice to sit and talk to friends - this can be impossible on a busy weekend night where the 'it crowd' are to be seen read more

Always end up going to filthys on a wednesday or Sunday night. There's usually some sort of live music on. In the front bar the Russian dolls usually play on a Sunday and they are brilliant, everyone will be singing along and they set you up for the rest of the evening. Then there's the secret garden that would have a dj playing before the gypsy lounge (upstairs) opens for 'Faith Sundays'. The drinks in the gypsy lounge are £2.50 on a Sunday so it's a bonus. It can get really busy on the likes of bank holidays and often run out of clean glasses. I have been in filthy chic aswell to try a few of the cocktails, the staff in there take their job quite seriously and are happy to help out if you can't make your mind up. Overall great place that has many options to choose from whatever your preference. read more

This place has a unique, quirky atmosphere with a nice outdoor area, but the guys behind the bar are usually busy looking cool, instead of offering good service. On more than one occasion my drink has been served in a dirty glass. read more

I must admit I quite like Filthy McNastys - it's just a bit different and stylishly grungy. A cool place to unwind and relax in with an amazing outdoor area - I always head to this place in the summer months. Its got lots of different sections - the Gypsy Lounge, Secret Garden (roof terrace) and Filthy Chic cocktail and wine bar. Well worth visiting for some elegant slumming. read more

Over rated. I like the outdoor concept but for our climate it is not very practical. There is always queue at the bar, they don't accept credit cards in some of the bars. The cocktails are ok, though I believe over priced. Though to be fair if you have a large group of people it is a big enough establishment to fit everyone in. read more

If you're not sure whether you want to go out for a pint, or if you want a nice evening of wine and/or cocktails, this is the place to be. Good bar with a massive beer garden, but also hidden to the side is the winebar. Two birds, one stone. Overall there is always a good atmosphere in filthys, and if you're ever stuck for somewhere to go, here is always a good backup. If, however, you're on the run and want to go to a place where nobody will recognise you, then you should probably avoid this place, as anytime you go you will bump into someone you know. read more

I've been coming to Filthy's since the start, when it literally looked like someone's living room on the middle of the dublin road. But it was love at first sight / sip of prosecco poured from a tin watering can. I like to think that my friends and I pioneered what was to be a long and loving affair with 'Filthy Fridays'. I think they're what I miss most about not living in Belfast. The decor is quirky and the place definitely has a unique and loveable charm about it. Over the years it has expanded greatly with the cocktail lounge and club upstairs. My favourite is the beer garden covered in fairy lights, find a cove and cosy up to the log fires and keep the Moscow mules flowing. read more

It's an idea to have a place that wants to be a music venue rather than be a pub which doubles up as a music venue. Filthy McNastys does exactly that, well it certainly tries. Complete with an almost pointless slogan from our very own Van Morrison, the décor on the outside looks like it was painted as part of community service for some blind chav. It looks pretty much repulsive. Looks much better in the dark. Inside it is marginally better, but still doesn't strike me as a great place to have a gig. It is a bit like the Mandela Hall in that sense, whereby bands play here more so because it is a good size, rather than because it is a good venue. I think, as Nick rightly mentioned, it will get better. At the moment it just doesn't quite click. It's got all of the right elements but it just needs to be ironed out and made into something better and bands will want to play here because it's a good venue and not because they have no other choice. read more

Filthy McNasty's is a chain of clubs in the UK that provides a venue for alternative groups that are touring. It's a great thing that it's came to Belfast because there is a gap for a venue of this size that would attract bands that would otherwise pass Belfast by and go straight to Dublin. I've never been to another Filthy's but even if they have all the same décor, I don't mind. It's fantastic inside. All the furnishings are completely different. It looks like they just raided the nearest charity shop of furniture and old records, which they stuck to the walls. The owner, who still currently works behind the bar at the minute is a really, really nice guy and always wants to tell you of his plans for the place. It's just a small little room at the moment which has been opened whilst the rest of the bar is being constructed and after talking to the guy, I cannot wait until it's finished. I'll be spending a lot of nights in here. read more

This a new addition to Belfast's pub scene and when we first seen the name 'Filthy McNastys' we had to take a dander in- and were greeted by mannequins with lampshades for hands! The place is really quirky and not dissimilar to Made in Belfast it is really tiny though as its still being finished so I reckon it'll be a great place to go once its all up and running! They offer a huge range of drinks and promos and the music is really good! It's definitely worth popping in for a pint just to admire the decor and soak up the funky atmosphere of the place! I'm predicting this will be the spot to go for hen and stags- just for the name. read more

Filthy McNastys - Lounges Near Me - Belfast, BFS

I am a fan of this bar fo shure. Although some people argue that it looks contrived, I think that all the place needs is a bit of time to settle into itself and find it's feet. The decor inside is very aesthetically pleasing. Mannequins with lampshades on their heads wearing crazy tu-tus, old vinyls on the wall, mix n' match furniture, some nice music in the background and a fully stocked bar- what more could you want. The clientele is mixed, sure there are some early twenties poserey types but shur you get them everywhere. There are also some dolly birds in here downing a few before stumbling down the town to some nightclub, but I like the fact that the crowd are mixed. It's not exclusive or pretentious. There is a little shutter type thing at the back of the bar with a sign teasing that something will be opening behind there soon. I speculate that the extension to Filthy's could be a smoking area, as there are always hoards of people outside puffing away. Filthy's is also good for a mid-week pint to go meet a friend, score one of the comfy couches and have a catch up. You can even read up on the latest bands in the many copies of NME lying around- only if you're 18, male and have your cordless ghd's in yer back pocket though. I'm liking Filthy McNasty's and look forward to it's mysterious extension. read more

The jury's out on this place as far as I'm concerned. I was in it for the first time last week and while I can't really fault it for anything in particualr, there was just something about it that didn't sit right. I think I've mentioned before that some bars can get away with hoisting random items onto the wall in a bid to seem quirky and interesting. This place can't if you ask me. Maybe it seems so affected because I know it's part of a chain so chances are all the branches most likely look the same, I don't know. It just seemed to be trying a bit too hard to be alternative, you know? Now, on the plus side, when the upstairs section finally opens (I heard they had licence troubles, which accounts for the delay in a full opening) I think it'll actually make a pretty good venue. The upstairs space is a good size for small gigs and might prove to be a rival for Auntie Annie's across the road, or at the very least, another decent place for local bands to get heard. Oh, and a major plus is that they stock a beer I haven't seen anywhere else. It's called Lucky and the bottle is shaped like Buddah - mazin! Overall, I reckon I'll be back, but only time will tell how much this place can actually appeal to the muso crowd in Belfast. At the minute though? Could do better. read more

Filthy McNasty's. I am definitely not a fan of this place. I have been in twice, and I'm sure I'll be back in again once the place is expanded into a proper venue, and not just a front room with lots of Oxfam bric-a-brac blu-tacced to the walls. There's an Oxfam just across the street, incidentally. I wonder... The building looks like a gigantic graveyard monument from the outside, and has what would appear to be a hand-painted Van Morrisson quote on the front - 'Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.' Arrogant gimp that he is. Also, the place is called Filthy McNasty's. FILTHY MCNASTY'S. That is horrendous. Ever seen the Eddie Izzard sketch where he's playing the parts of a room full of music company executives, as they try to come up with the name Englebert Humperdinck for Gerry Dorsey? Not for me, I'm afraid. Contrived and pompous, not unlike Van Morrison himself. There are a dozen excellent bars within walking distance of this one. read more

Filthy McNastys - Lounges Near Me - Belfast, BFS

Really not my scene. Firstly, every time I've been there the bouncers have been quite anti-social. I hate it when a club/bar has a bouncer who always has a sour puss on and puts his hand on you and say s"wait!" as your on your way in. Fair enough I understand that the venue may be busy and you may have to wait for someone to come out but you don't need to be rude about it. The thing that really annoys me is the claustrophobia outside. This is quite a problem while trying to get a drink as it seems to take forever to get served. I have been in during a week day when its not so busy and the Guinness was poor. The crowd seemed to be a bit hipster but since the cocktail bar opened it seems to be going down a much more trendy route. The staff however were nice when I've been there. I tend to avoid going here if possible but there are worse bars. read more

A nice bar with several good areas to it. The outdoor area is huge and although mainly for us wishing to shave a few years off our lives smoking it works well for all as it's very open. The main bar is nice with a good range of dri is as is the bar in smoking area. Only downside is that service ca. Be a bit slow at times and have had a few issues with the security at times with getting in. Being told my group of 15 were not allowed in as 2 were too old during a 30th birthday party night out is not great after we had sorted a guest list. Just make sure you tell them everything as list was through Facebook and they always give automatic response without checking back with incoming people. read more

Hi, I really love this Bar. The decor and ambience is really amazing and pleasing to the eye. I never had problems with bouncers here bar today which was very unfortunate. I wa trying to get past one of thm when he stopped me and started Asking me to get out and in their own words"who let this guy in, let him out the other door". This was blatant and rude to the point that it was very embarrassing when all my friends were let out. I requested for an explanation but was told to calm down and not be aggressive, I don't want to and intend to play the race card but I was told that one guy was messing around with the fire hazards. No cctvs or cameras were present which could have recorded such incident. I was made to stand there and ganged upon by 3 bouncer who led me out forcibly. This is very upsetting and demeaning. I was having a good time with my friends but blatantly blaming someone without any shred of proof is categorically wrong. read more

The Jack-of-all-Trades for nights out in Belfast. Everyone will be happy here; club kids, acoustic warriors, chain smokers, all of 'em. It's like that takeaway you stagger past at 4:00am who's still open, and they serve literally everything in the world, so you order a pizza with a kebab on it, plus some sort of falafel wrap, and maybe some frogs legs, and all of it is covered in garlic mayo. That is to say, for every element that Filthy's can boast (cocktail lounge, club music, old-man bar, beer garden, etc), there is somewhere that does it better, but nowhere that does EVERYTHINg to the same standard. You can't miss. read more

This place really makes me laugh. I was dandering up the Dublin Road the other day when I saw this large, black, imposing building with a rather obscure quote by VAN THE MAN on the outside in massive letters. My first thought was 'where the hoopla did that come out of?' so obviously I went in for a quick peek. The décor is fabulous and hilarious at the same time. Mannequins greet you as you enter and their heads are adorned with nothing other than lampshades of course! There are glass bottles hanging with strings from the ceiling. There are LP covers glued to the walls, old pieces of tea sets and radios strategically placed around the place. Kind of looks like a junk yard was raided, uplifted and moved into this bar - all of which I have no problem with, in fact I love it! There is a total mismatch of hard backed chairs and old looking sofas. There is a mysterious red velvet curtain and a wooden gate hiding something, which they tell me, will be revealed soon. I had a cup of tea and a good look around and I'm telling you I cannot wait to have a night out in this place. It's only been open four months and I already have a feeling it's going to be the place to go! read more

I have visited this bar quite a few times, and usually have a great time. On a weekday they have a great atmosphere along with some great music from a local musician. A good range of beers to choose from, which is always a plus from me. The weekends can be quite crowded which is to be expected for a bar with it's good reputation. If you're out for only a couple of beers at the weekend I wouldn't recommend going in here after 8pm as it will be packed out and will take a long time to get served, but if out on a night out I would definitely recommend. read more

Very busy bar in the evenings and especially the weekends. Lovely to go during the day and sit out in the beer garden(they have heat lamps and covers for Irish weather) nice drinks selection and the staff are ok. It's quite hard to get served in busy evenings. There is collection of bars/rooms off the main bar all playing different kinds of music. Nicely decorated. read more

Had a great night here with a couple of friends. Great atmosphere and buzz about the place. Wasn't too busy mid week, great location.

Filthys is a strange club. I never really feel like I have had a night out when I go here. I love the interior and their secret garden is amazing. The staff seem really nice aswell. There's just something that doesn't work. It's kind of a mishash of clubs and bars that don't match each other. I would say filthys is somewhere I would call in to during the day for drinks or even a few before I head on to my final venue. I'm still on the fence about it. I would have to say it's somewhere you need to go and try for yourself. read more

Love this bar live music and good Guinness

Probably one of the best spots in Belfast. Cocktail bar is beautiful, as is the secret garden

For those of us from Belfast in the know, this used to be the infamous 'Dempseys', not particularly the most wonderful place to patronize on a Saturday evening, if you wanted to avoid being glassed or smacked in the bake. However, having challenged all the doubters, and having shaken off the previous clientele, and despite the unfortunate name, this bar seems to have proved a success, and seems to be nothing like its predecessor. With a range of drinks available, some attractive drinks promotions, and some quality musicians and DJs employed to offer entertainment, it's done well and has anattracted new and more favourable clientele. It's got an eclectic, stylish decorative theme, and is comfortable and inviting. I've yet to be there at closing time, so I can't totally vouch for the crowd, but as it stands its worth a visit. read more

Took one star of my previous rating. Still kind of like the place but I am quickly becoming sick of being corralled around the place e.g. before you go into the place one is told in an impolite way (I'm over 30 years old) to go straight to the outdoor area which has insufficient heading (which is a problem on cold nights). Then you're not allowed back into the front area! Grrr. I don't work for this company but you may want to invest in something like this for the outdoor area - http://www.thesmokezone.co.uk/canopies.php - keeps the rain and the cold out and if left open enough it should be enough to satisfy legislation. On the warm dry nights don't use it! :) The Gypsy Lounge seems to be a good addition too. I like the place. The beers are good and so far the staff have been good. Although, the door staff are a bit weird, my friends and I have never had a problem due to being ridiculously good-looking but they've treated other people badly. I've read it is a music venue; when do bands etc actually play there? I like the outdoor area primarily as it is an alternative to the outside area at Cutter's Wharf. Can't wait for the new part to open, hopefully the walls adjacent to pavements will be low enough so customers can see out of the place. Doubt that'll happen. What doesn't feel right is the way there is one really small room and a big outdoor area. I understand why they did that but they should have a separate entrance for the outside area, as it is the main draw (I think). Good place though, worth checking out. Oh and the usual 'quirky' junk thrown up on the walls, boring. Pub, bar and club owners - cut that out, so passe now. Get the staff or punters to decorate the place. If people put up stuff they have a genuine emotional bond with then the authenticity of the junk will be more acceptable. The new part Filthy Chic is nice. I haven't had a cocktail there yet but it is nice place to sit. The extended outdoor part is nice too. Well done. read more
