First up was a bit of dinner, and this was undoubtedly going to be a good one. Molly Brown's run this 2 courses for £10 offer from 12-9pm Monday to Thursday, and from 12-6pm on Friday and Saturday, which is really very good value for money. There's a huge variety too and definitely something for everyone - from garlic bread starters to roast stuffed pepper mains. I chose the bread and oils starter, which down an absolute treat (including down my top, which didn't go down quite so well...), and for the mains I had a burger which wasn't half a bad 'un. So far so good. We happened to be there on a Thursday night (incidentally, as Geraldine mentioned, quiz night), so we weren't going anywhere any time soon. Between the meal and quiz, we got some drinks (Strawberry Daiquiris were all the rage) and had a bit of craic. Speaking of the daiquiris, I got a lesson in making one from the exceptionally friendly barman. Excellent. The quiz man (who's an absolute hoot) did arrive a good bit late, but we were all so pumped for the quiz (ok, I was), that we didn't mind too much. Throughout all the rounds our team were in second place until the very last round. As Mr Quizmaster announced the scores, we listened for our name and realised we'd come top...with another team! Oooh, the drama. One last tiebreak question, and the first prize was ours. Well, you should have heard the cheers, and the singing along to "We are the Champions"...yes, an exceptionally good night indeed.

This place isn't to be confused with the similarity named bar within the Canal Court hotel about a…read more5 minute walk away. This dining place is part of the Francis Court hotel, funnily enough on Francis street occupying a site that 55 years ago was a railway line for the train to Warrenpoint. This and many other great rail lines were sadly killed off for political reasons in the 1960's. I didn't know food was being served here until I drove by and saw their advert on a giant billboard adjacent to the hotel. So upon seeing the billboard and being there (2 movie style references already: 3 billboards outside Ebbing Missouri & Being There). I keep digressing anyway in we went to try it. We both ordered the chilli beef strips on homemade bread with lime mayonnaise and fries. We got the triple cooked fries. The food was excellent with almost every element great but splitting hairs I couldn't detect any lime in the mayo. The beef was crispy and delicious - the homemade bread was homemade and divine; often this is claimed on menus but falsely so. The triple cooked chips too were great and at under £6 the food was fairly priced. The only thing that annoyed me was the lack of Colman's English mustard. The worlds greatest mustard. I was offered American mustard. No thanks. Service could be better. We told the waitress we needed a few minutes but we eventually had to go in search of wait staff when no one returned to attend to us. So it would have been three stars but the fair price nudges it to four star.

I do love this place, it has a great atmosphere no matter what you go here for…read more A place for football, a place for food, a place for a good night out, a place for beer, whiskey, or even a wine connoisseur. They have it all. I have been going to this pace for years, mostly for the drinking, but there very rarely a time where I don't have a good time. First, If going for the food I would recommend this place. For pub food it really raises the bar. A menu filled a various types. From burgers, to lasagne, to steaks, and everyone's favourites goujons. (Well maybe my favourite, but this is my review, so I'll just assume ;)) Filled with deserts like cheesecakes, brownies, and something called Eton mess, which j an probably a little afraid to try. The drinks come in a wide variety, from your usually carlsberg, harps, smithwicks and guiness. But you'll also get your erdingers, einstock (very recommended, only if it's payday though). Of you don't see anything you like I'm sure you can go next door to woodworkers, also owned by Lavery's, and they will really treat you. For a night out, this place offers 3 floors, bottom floor being a normal bar, with some good music out in the speakers. You can neet some great people down here if you want a good chat. There are two bars down stairs, so if you can't get one at the massive one, head through to the back and you'll easily get served there. The second floor I like to call the rock floor, where you have a DJ Playing out all sorts of great songs from all decades. If you cannot hear what you want to then just request the DJ to play and they'll be more than happy to oblige. I'm sure people have been tortured by my Offspring requests. :p Top floor is for the people wanting a good dance time. Plenty of dance, techno, anthems etc etc Not really my style, but from what I hear from some of my friends this is a great place to let it all out. Outside is great as well around the smoking area, offering easy access to woodworkers and is massive enough to find a space, have a smoke, or just sit chat and have a drink. Great place for football, though I'd recommend coming early for those that want a seat. They have an offer on where they give you tokens during football Games where if you buy 7 pints you'll get one free. It's something ;) This place offers it all. Even poop on the top floor of you go there during the week, or the day time. But just remember that Saturday night is party time. If you want pool, I would recommend he pavilion on the ormeau road which is also owned by Lavery's. Great place for a wide variety of people, without a doubt one of the best bars in Belfast!
