I did the vegan platter so I could try the sweet & sour chikun, salt & pepper tofu, Buffalo cauliflower, guacamole...there even a few other things on it I can't recall now. But it was all delicious and enough for two or more people to share, I had to take a bunch with me and it was my dinner the next night as well! The vibe was great, very cozy and inviting, and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend and would go back.

To this end I played a lot when I was younger and used to like and go play my mates at lunch time when I went to the school just round the corner. This is a pretty good wee snooker hall. There are about 20 tables and a couple of pool tables. All of which are of a pretty good standard. They're not championship standard but you certainly won't weel ripped off and there won't be sellotape holding the cloth together or anything ridiculous like that. The staff are always friendly and polite. Try not to be too weirded out by the fat you have to go through a huge security door to get in, although this place has been robbed a couple of times its safe enough. But don't come running to me if something bad does happen. Definitely worth checking out if you fancy a few frames on a Saturday afternoon or a beek off from school.

Clifton Snooker Hall owes me some of my childhood, it stole many hours from me between the age of…read more12 and 16. What I am trying to say is that I was never out of the place. I used to be in there for so long that I would come out and the sun would hurt my eyes. One summer I spent so much time in the darkness of Clifton Snooker hall that I went back to school more pale than at the beginning of summer. Being fair Clifton probably saved me from being one big freckle, so I suppose owe it one. Anyway Clifton Snooker Hal is now a little different from other snooker halls, it is an open relaxed atmosphere and is a million miles away from the working mans club feel of other snooker halls. It is fully equipped with 20 snooker tables and 2 pool tables in a separate room. Although the atmosphere is relaxed I would refrain from chatting around the snooker tables as guys come here to focus on there game. Clifton also sells snacks and drinks for those long frames. Once upon a time it used to sell Pot Noodles with water included for £1, this probably contributed heavily to my weight gain in the summer of '04. If you want to play snooker in Bangor I think this is probably the best place to go, I would advise calling ahead and booking a table on weekends and evening but during the day it is generally quite quiet so you should be able to walk in and break.

Great staff, very comfortable facilities and priced at just the right pitch with plenty of tables. I recently started playing after many years and the staff even retipped my broken old cue for free (since I had done such a bad job and it fell off). Forget the old reputations of Snooker Clubs, the Fountain is a top place to take the kids (or even the wife if you have lots of patience)

The front bar got a revamp a few years ago and it looks quite trendy and almost cosmopolitan like a Belfast City centre hangout. It was long overdue as it had started to look a bit run down, but this didn't bother the faithful locals who have been loyal to the pub most of their lives. The back bar is quite spacious with pool tables and a few slot machines. It often comes alive when there's a high profile sporting event on were you can watch it on "the big screen" as its locally known. The back bar also is popular for private party nights when it really comes to life. Overall a good little spot which I'd recommend for a half decent night out, or during the week when it can be very quiet there's a relaxing atmosphere for a cold pint.

The Brown Cow comprises a bar and bistro…read more I would eat in the bistro regularly, and it is fantastic. They have a small but varied menu with something for all tastes, and they REALLY know how to cook their menu to perfection. A favourite of mine is the salmon, it is absolutely delicious and considering the high quality of the food, it is very fairly priced. I don't think the restaurant gets the attention it deserves, unfortunately, due to the reputation of the bar. It has a slight reputation locally as a bit of a rough place, and now because of the smoking ban, there are regularly crowds of people crowded out the front, which I imagine might put some people off. This said however, I have had a few drinks in the bar on numerous occasions, and not had any problems at all - so I would definitely recommed this little gem!
