No one spoke to me unless I spoke to them first. Staff made me feel a nuisance. The only exception was the young girl near the lift who helped me operate it. I try to shop locally to support real businesses but I'm going online now to buy a sports bag.

Packed full of sports clothing and some sports equipment. Over packed in my opinion, like many…read moreclothing stores. Hardly room to get around. That aside, they do fit in a huge amount of product. Also, casual clothing, jeans, polo shirts etc. The staff are always polite and helpful. Unfortunately they did not have the item that I was looking for - an Arsenal polo shirt (definitely NOT for myself I hasten to add!), which was advertised as being in-store on their online site. Pricewise, it is usually great value for money and fantastic if you have a gaggle of children to clothe. I ended up buying an arsenal mug (again NOT for myself) and was unfortunate to end up at the till behind the customer who appeared to be buying every item in the shop! There is ample parking outside, being part of the Springhill retail park, and is very easily accessible coming off the Bangor bound carraigeway from Belfast.

Not again if my life depended on it. I have been in this…read moreplace a number of times over the years, being a semi regular visitor to Newry, upon one occasion myself and a chum wandered in off the street on the lookout for ski wear, and the elderly man (who I think is the owner himself) actually said to us "two walking machines is it?" IE what are two fat fuckers doing in here. An IGNORAMUS. On another occasion I had purchased a large item that I had been assured would fit in the back of my Fiesta, after paying for the item and taking it to the car (parked outside the front door) the item would not fit (the sales assistant was adamant it would fit, "sure I have put HUNDREDS of these in the back of cars" What did smart hole do? Left me standing on the road with the item. NO offer to deliver it NO offer to refund the price FUCK ALL. Basically they want to sell you stuff, and get you out the door asap, and to hell with you after they get your money. Smarmy with NO customer service. Cheeky and rude to their customers, overpriced and absolutely NO clue on how to deal with people. A huge range of stuff on offer but you will find it cheaper elsewhere 2 words I would use to describe Smyths, FUCKING SHITE

Been to this very same store as mentioned here by Tilly D…read more This is where the similarity ends. Jack Smyth has run this family business for as long as I can remember. As a member of the local community and providing what can only be called an outstanding service to his customers, it is not in his, nor any of his staff's interest to provide a poor service particularly in this economic down turn. My husband I and children have used this shop regularly for over 20 years. We wouldn't dream of buying our ski wear, exercise equipment, or horse riding wear anywhere else. He won't be beaten on quality of product or of service. The owner is a pleasant, charming and a respectful gentleman. He has a great sense of humour that he has developed over the years when relating to customers. He would be deeply offended by your comments if it weren't for the fact that you have categorised yourself with your use of profanity. I would recommend if you have any further issues with shop owners or assistants the mature thing would be to vocalise your issue at the time rather than to go online and make false accusations. The only person you have degraded by your comments is yourself. Jack Smyth's is an excellent shop with an excellent range of products and superb staff that have a vested interest in providing a 5 star service.

Restrooms are on 3rd floor, so plan ahead. Service was decent. A menu with good variety. The food was delicious and the portions are huge. The steamed mussels were delicious. Bangers & Mash was great. I would recommend this pub. A good meal for the price.

SS Moore is as much part of the Belfast landscape as The City Hall itself. For as long as I can…read moreremember it's been there. This is no accident or fluke, you need to be on top of your game to hang on to such a prized retail location and these guys have been. SS Moore specialize in real quality sports equipment and wear. This is the first place I visit when I need a new pair of football boots because I know the staff are knowledgeable and will provide a genuine insight in to your purchase. This was the case yesterday, I went in with the aim of getting a pair of football boots with thicker leather and while I was caressing (that makes it sound creepy) the various boots on display a helpful member of staff approached me and asked what I was looking for (or maybe it was 'what are you doing!?'). When I told him my plight he brought me out a whole host of boots that had thicker leather, unfortunately none of them were in my size! That's my only tiny niggle with SS Moore, they don't have a huge stock and tend to sell out quickly. If you're looking for regional sports kits like Linfield, The Ulster Rugby Team or the Belfast Giants Ice Hockey Jersey this is one of the few places, excluding the official shops, that you can get them. There aren't many better sports shops around in my opinion - if you're looking for something specific or niche make SS Moore's your first stop.

Unlike most other sports stores, which just deal in replica football shirts and clothes that make you look suspicious on a street corner. SS Moore sales sports equipment for a wide range of sports, both mainstream and the smaller sports. Their staff have a great knowledge of the equipment they sell and will always help you make the right choice. My experience of this shop and their great staff was when I was looking for a new football kit for the Sunday league team I play for. SS Moore have a wide range of catalogues to look through and they are always willing to recommend which offer they think will best suit you and they don't charge extra for having the kits delivered to their shop! They were a great help and I'll be going here more often for anything remotely sporty!
