Reviews of Rattlebag

On the surface, Rattlebag looks like a pretentious cocktail bar where only the trendiest can drink. In reality, it’s a cool, relaxed, friendly and welcoming spot to enjoy an admittedly expensive cocktail. It’s not a spot to stay and drink all night, but it’s perfect to pop in and treat yourself to a nice cocktail. I would highly recommend it. A nice little addition to Belfast.

Premium cocktail joint. Very cool, a bit like a speakeasy. Staff are very helpful and take cocktails seriously. Seasonal drinks menu and good music / atmosphere.

Stumbled across Rattlebag when looking for somewhere to have a drink with some friends after our wedding. Staff were so lovely, friendly and accommodating and the cocktails were delicious. Inside is beautifully decorated, definitely one for a special occasion and will be back! Cheers guys

Rattlebag raises the “bar” !! As you know, we adore a good cocktail. We just love how a simple spirit can be elevated to a thing of beauty with the addition of a few well chosen ingredients and a little “TLC”. In the halcyon days when we could travel further afield, we always checked out the local cocktail bars: whether it was a “speakeasy vibe” in London behind an insalubriously dingy doorway which opened out into a stylish 20s-style hangout, or a secretive gentleman’s club hidden down a Barcelona alleyway simply oozing with class where the sartorially dressed clientele sipped their drinks against a backdrop of sophisticated dark wood and subdued lighting. But sadly, too many of Belfast’s bars have a disappointing approach when designing their cocktail menus which can be rather tired, and are of the “mixed drinks” variety: bog-standard spirits drowned in copious amounts of fruit juice and soda, and garnished with a paper parasol, with little to appeal to the discerning cocktail-lover. But Rattlebag in the Bullitt Hotel is an entirely different kettle of fish, and the menu, ambience, and ethos are a refreshing change and a much needed addition to the Belfast cocktail bar scene. As well as a menu which changes regularly, Rattlebag also has a “spirit of the month” selection, celebrating the variety of different cocktails which can be created. The bar staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and will talk you through the “spirit-led” menu, and explain some of the amazing ingredients used by the Rattlebag mixologists. Every wonderful concoction we tried was a triumph, but special mention must go to the smoky Mezcal-based “Naked & Famous”, the “Zombie” which features Talisker 10 yr single malt and Tiki bitters, and the “Corpse Reviver” with Method & Madness gin, vermouth, absinthe, and a hint of sweetness from their own bubblegum liqueur. Cheers to Rattlebag for raising the “bar”!!

Cocktails were delicious and staff very friendly and enthusiastic about the drinks always excited to explain what an element of a cocktail was if we were curious.
