It was the biggest sticking point for me before I went and I took more than my fair share of persuasion before I went. On my first and last visit, I was with friends who have frequented the place more than once so I followed behind them and did as they did. It's really not the sort of place I would ever visit again. You can bring your own alcohol which makes it more bearable. However, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable throughout it as it just is not my sort of thing. Ironically Shisha is meant to help you relax. For some people, this is the perfect place to go and chill out and for that reason you are welcome to it. I would rather a pub and a club to loosen myself up. It can often be over used but this is the epitome of 'you'll like it if it's your sort of thing'. It's not mine and I really did not enjoy it.

Shisha is something I first tried whilst lazing around Camden market when I lived in London. I…read moreloved it, so when this place opened I jumped right in. It's bring your own which makes it quite cheap as well and because it's Shisha, it can be smoked inside, which is very convenient. On the night we went there was an acoustic session going on which added to the very chilled out atmosphere. Apparently it's been having some licensing issues but hopefully that can be sorted out. It's a great place to chill at lunch or for a night out.

The food was mid and the atmosphere was less than desirable. I hate to give poor reviews and yet it's necessary for this one. We actually left disappointed overall. The fish and chips were just ok as was the sausage and mash. The frickles were unimpressive and most of our group didn't care for the hummus (plus the bread was just 2 thin tortillas that had been toasted and cut). The chili chicken was decent but nothing to rave about and the calamari type dish was just bland. Maybe we caught them on an off night but if that's the case I would think the servers could step up and at least be friendly. Most staffers looked the other way or were just not accommodating.

To be fair I think I've only ever seen Hen and Stag parties bound for Dublin on The Enterprise using this service. They do really good beer and cocktail offers. This isn't a place where you would go for a heavy one, it really is aimed at onward travellers, it's just like an airport bar. There's loads of comfy seating and plenty of tables with views over The Lagan (hence the name). They even have a screen stating all train arrival and departure times. Not really my cup of tea, but I think it's really handy if you have time to kill in Central Station.

No slight to Jameson but if you're in Northern Ireland then you should be drinking Northern Ireland whiskey. A bit loud at 6pm on a weekday with the after work folks but a space at the bar opened up and I was able to place an order. They do have great looking food here. The portion of chicken wings looks pretty amazing and the burger was massive. It's hard to miss the brightly painted red building where it's always Guinness Time. And don't miss looking up at the tin ceiling. [Review 1871 of 2024 - 854 in United Kingdom - 22893 overall]

Since we had already had lunch we sat at the bar for a beer. We were greeted by a nice bartender. We told her we were looking for either a beer or cider. There are a few tables outside to enjoy the weather and a few tables inside. The bar area downstairs is small with quite a sizable collection of bras hanging from the ceiling. We ordered a Hilden Belfast Blonde and a Small Axe Session IPA. It wasn't super busy so talked to the bartender about travel. As another bartender walked in we also discussed beer and cocktails. He told us that flavored Gins were popular. He let us smell a few of the popular ones since we are not big gin drinkers. Decided to stop in the ladies room before leaving and found an interesting group of old photos while there. We didn't try any food but loved the beer and cocktail options and really enjoyed talking to both the bartenders. Stop by and check it out.

The staff was overly nice, each and every single one of them. They noticed we were desi ourselves and made our food "desi style", oh boy was it spicy! The chef and the customer sure likes a challenge. The menu has a lot to offer. Great spot for really well don Indian cuisine. Royal Tandoor Platter 5/5 -(chicken banjara, malai chicken tikka, seekh kebab & tandoori monkfish skewered and cooked in a clay oven), great option if you're not too hungry, you can ask for a small bowl of rice to accompany this Lamb biryani 5/5 - a lot of meat, the rice was so fragrant Goan Seafood Chowder 5/5 - hearty, flavorful, highly recommend Hot chocolate fudge cake 4/5 - can't go wrong, exactly what you expect, don't think it is made in-house though

Parking was pretty easy, there are loads of street parking spots on side streets; lots of tables inside, outside, and a back restaurant area off the bar. We chose to sit in the bar area, viewing their massive tap list, with loads of local craft brews (complete with Untapped check-ins). We ordered the Potato, leek, sausage platter and the Chicken Burger with sweet potato fries. The mashed potatoes had a great pop of flavor, the Yorkshire pudding was fluffy not soggy, and the sausages melted in my mouth. The Chicken Burger had a unique flavor spice profile, with wonderfully crisp sweet potato fries. We also ate some sticky toffee pudding for dessert, that had a warm buttery goodness to it. I definitely recommend stopping by for food!
