Reviews of Pavilion Bar

M. B.

Friendly staff, lots of choice in drinks, good menu and wonderful atmosphere. Just be aware that if a football or another major sport event is on.... there is nowhere to hide from the screens!

B. B. l.

It's always a good place to go for a few pints with people!! They have a good selection of drinks as well and the staff are friendly and helpful too :)

P. B.

It's a fine bar, but oh boy the bartender in the top bar during the live music night could do with a word about not swearing under his breath at customers. Otherwise, reasonably priced and excellent live music!

A. T.

Great place to watch sports - they show several games at the same time so can keep an eye on all scores in one place 👍

S. M.

Food was amazing, barmaid Joanne is fantastic & everything was reasonably priced. Definitely be back again.

S. R.

Lovely bar, great atmosphere, food was just OK

E. H.

Great bar, with a wide selection of beers and decent food. Definitely good if you are wanting to watch the football.

M. S.

At times drinks orders are taken by other staff causing delays getting drinks if using table service. You end up waiting with no drink. Especially if you order pints of Guinness.

G. J. S.

Oh my... Can't lie we did a random Google and trusted reviews... Oh my... Talk about beyond expectation! Beautiful food, great value and service. Lovely setting. We enjoyed a wonderful evening there as a family. We will be back xxx

A. S. G. B.

Visited on Christmas Eve for a few pints, staff and especially the bouncers were very friendly and efficient when going through covid procedures.

c. d.

Excellent, as always, delicious food n grand service.

F. c.

Decent bar, only they seated us upstairs which had big groups. Would have preferred we sat downstairs, once we realised that the upstairs was more for large groups! Overall not bad, would go again if we could sit downstairs

J. H. C.

Decent bar. Decent cocktails. Didn't order food, only here for the bar. Ordering online cost 10p more for admin fees which was a little unfair in my opinion. Music on the second floor was terrible. Finding the way out was confusing as all we can see was "NO EXIT" signs.

C. C.

Great live music & tasty pints

S. M.

Very good food , went to a comedy nite after eating was a Monday nite . The Mc on the nite was very good the other acts were a bit of a let down but over all was a good nite out

C. M.

Not a nice experience. Trying to get 50p. on a silly face mask that nobody even cares anymore as soon as you in. Ridiculous, but still work on many people instead of turn around and go somewhere else, people buy it. The drinks are very overpriced. The staff don't care about your presence.

S. B.

Great atmosphere and great food as always

T. M.

Great place great food and pint

S.

Really lovely everything was gorge will definitely be back and sometime soon 😂🙂

A. O. D.

Not a bad spot to watch Man United games

S. P.

nice pub plenty of drinks to choose from lots of tvs scattered about the place so no problem if you want to watch sports.

P. Ó. C.

Had the pleasure of meeting some friends in here during a weeknight. The decor inside the place is fantastic and has a good vibe, with friendly and attentive staff. Looked to me like a lot of regulars meet there and have a few. Go up the back steps and half way up is an outdoor smoking area. Go another flight of stairs and there is a smaller bar upstairs with 6 billiard tables in it. It looked like a great little bar upstairs to have some fun in. One thing however. One of the bar staff decided she would turn the music up from a nice comfortable level, to a level where we were shouting over each other to have conversation. Not good at 5.30 in the afternoon. We had to leave and eat somewhere else unfortunately.

c. a.

Very good experience. Called in for food with my partner and our four year old around 3pm. Service was outstanding. The staff were very attentive to our child making sure they had crayons to colour and accommodated any requests we had. Lovely food, large portion sizes.

P. S. o.

Have meant to leave a review a few times. Never had a bad meal here. I can't complain about the service but I can say the last few times we have been served by Caitlin, who is so friendly and professional and is a real credit to the company. Her friendliness and professionalism brings us back every time. Thank you x

Z. N.

Great meal deal - Burger and a pint and game of pool for a £8 , Monday to Thursday 5pm - 7pm. Bar service from Pearce is second to none. The food menu is highly recommended with a great selection available. High chairs available for younger patrons. Lovely atmosphere with friendly professional staff. Love and respect. 🕉🕉🕉

P.

Great pub. Kids friendly.

M. Q.

Great atmosphere and excellent food

D. H.

Couldn't ask for a better local bar. Always good service from the usual faces behind the bar. Good atmosphere whenever I'm in, one of the few bars that I don't mind sitting by myself. Definitely beats many of the bars in town, and one of the few places that hasn't jumped on the cocktail bandwagon therefore the queue for a pint is minimal! Worth checking out.

P. D.

Visit Belfast at the weekend and met up with friends. We had some Drinks and food. Have to say it was a lovely place the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Made the End of our weekend the best. Would like to visit the pavilion again

C. B.

Just a quick stop in for dinner which was so good I didn't even take a picture. I have a jalapeño burger and chips which were great. Burger was really well seasoned and not chock full of other stuff pulling away from those flavours as is the trend at the moment. Just a genuinely good burger with just the right amount of frills. Atmosphere was lovely and welcoming. I really liked seeing the bar staff having good craic back and forth.

R. r.

Local bar for local people. Outsiders need not apply! But good pint all the same.

F.

Great comedy night in Mondays. Really friendly and great prices.

D. M.

Nice bar, feels like a trimmed down version of Laverys, which given its owners isn't a suprise. My only critique is that the 1st floor was quite cold, some of our group actually put on jackets.

E. B.

Pavillion was my local for years and I had spent many a happy evening here. We popped in and were disappointed. It looks like a cafe with vinegar and ketchup on the tables...the historic surroundings were still intact, but the staff weren't welcoming or friendly, despite not being busy. A shame as previously was a great local bar.

C. M.

Always great food and very good special offers on drinks! Good atmosphere for football. Sometimes can be hard to get a drink at bar, don't know why always plenty of staff, which are very friendly!

A. H.

Everything about here is great! Food is great, music is great, atmosphere is great and the staff were absolutely amazing especially to my kids. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone else 😊

S. B.

Great bar on Belfast's Ormeau Road. Was in today for the first time in over 10 years. Did not disappoint. Not many bars where you can watch your football and rugby teams to disappoint you at the Same Time!!!!

M. J.

Good prices, lovely decor and a nice atmosphere. I was upstairs for a private function and spied the Erdinger Oktoberfest beer during the festival period. Always nice to see a bar with such a great beer selection

P. G.

Great service and lovely food

J. I.

Menu not very good not much of a choice to suit all tastes.

M. B.

Brilliant bar, excellent craic and quality food. Staff very friendly and pleasant, providing a quick service and can never be faulted for cleanliness. Always a happy atmosphere and worthy of a first visit for all. 👌👌

C. B.

Lovely atmosphere with fire and nice decor. The staff here are brilliant, always seem happy to go over and above for you. Food is great too, nice pub food but a wee bit different

R. N.

Great local and good food

N. D.

Dead on place, staff were a bit touchy about the stage area but it doesn't say anywhere not to be on the stage when talking to the DJ on the second floor. Music volume was great, selection a bit dated if I'm honest, but it was a good night

P.

Grand. They make you wear masks which is a bit unusual. Could be a fetish but you can take them off when you sit down which is nice of them

L.

Good bar. Prices more akin to what you would find in the city centre but worth it due to the friendly atmosphere and service. Pretty good food menu- my only issue is that they always seem to overcook steak, but still good value for dinner

P. C.

Owned by laverys, all the quality of the food but a bit quieter(unless a big match is on) . Good for a nice peaceful lunch or playing pool in the evenings. Some great gigs on the middle floor too.

b.

Great place! Called in today with family for lunch -nice bar, lovely food, great staff. We'll definitely be back!

P. M.

Arrived on Halloween party night after an Ulster rugby match. So many people arrived in fancy dress - excellent. And the music was superb (rock/indie/ska/other!)

E. D.

Among my favorites bars in the city. Great atmosphere, affordable prices and friendly staff. They have a main front bar, a middle bar for events, usually open at the weekends and a pool room. The food's not to shabby either!

E. J. C.

The big is a beautiful building and a beautiful place. Wide selection of drinks and also great staff. Also a good range of stuff going on, and they hire rooms out. Would highly recommend.

G. M.

As a tourist and with concerns on where we should be on the new years countdown, the pavillion was definitely a surprise. Great atmosphere, pure Irish vibes all around. We loved it

P. M.

Brilliant, promote Joe to manager

K. M.

Visited the BIG Hoose recently. Really enjoyed the experience. Was in the pool hall for a few hours in the afternoon The staff were friendly and the snooker tables were in tip top condition Will bring along friends the next time I visit

P. M.

100 years ago I used to go here for a pie, a pint and a pickled egg, loved it then have not been inside a pub for about 20 years but I don't see why it would have changed.

N. M.

Lovely staff, excellent food and great atmosphere for sport

d.

Probably my go to bar but that's probably my dad's doing. The pool hall is awesome and the place as a whole has a lot to offer. The food is class and the steak deal is the absolute ticket.

k.

Great customer service as always. Staff very friendly

N. M.

Great proper bar. Decent food and lovely staff

P. C.

The Pavilion or 'Big house' is probably my favourite bar in Belfast. Full of interesting characters, great atmosphere and good drink and food selection. Some good promoted nights on too that you dont get elsewhere in Belfast.

J. W.

Very decent bar indeed. People get out there! Your locals need customers!

R. M.

Great local bar, shows a hell of a lot of sport, and has a pool table room on top floor. Pub food is decent as well.

B. M. C.

Been here for lunch several times. Fantastic burgers. Definitely worth a visit. Good staff and great prices.

J. D.

Really loved this bar. But it's overpriced. Which is a shame because the atmosphere is good. Was my local but not so much now

k. m.

Only criticism is that the pool tables are on the very top floor and no lift ( sorry only reason it came up is cos I've only 1 leg ) but I could still get up there just a bit slower than usual ppl :)

l. s.

OMG amazing food. Ordered chicken burger was fantastic best one I've ever had. Great music... Came here for food just before green day and rancid at ormeau Park . Which is very close by 😃
