The Hercules is a great traditional Belfasy City Centre pub. Great barmen, excellent service and a warm friendly atmosphere. A stop off pub with different customers in and out throughout the day, workers, punters,couples all enjoying the cráic.

S. O.

Popped in for dinner after hearing raving reviews for weeks to just the reception id hoped for. Very welcoming and helpful staff. I had the beef pie and my daughter had the lasange. The best meal ive had in years! fresh and hearty and loads of it, portions are spot on for a good dinner. Shocked when bill came and saw the small amount. Could not fault and will return

M. M.

After spending sometime in belfast and eating at some lovely pub grub restaurants, this is easily the best restaurant for that style of food around. Phenomenal actually. The "two sisters" will ensure you have a Phenomenal time.

E. H.

Good food, good music, nice staff. We were made to feel welcome.

H. S.

Good pint. Barman know what they're doing. Patrons not all aware of washing hands after toilet visit😂. Not good but even worst in present circumstances. Wake up and smell the problems for your family as well as community.

A. P.

Great service, great food and overall a great place to have a beer among locals. Loved that chicken and ham pie. I would totally pay a visit again if I ever happen to be in Belfast in the future.

E. M.

Great pints, full of old characters, some craic 😆

S. W.

Great place. We chanced upon it after coming from a place that had run out of food at 1:00 p.m. The staff were so nice and friendly. Food was outstanding. Salads, fish & chips, beef. All were great. Had no room for dessert.

T. F.

Brilliant really nice bar staff and a great pint , will call again

P. Ó. C.

Came here during a week day. Seems to be a regular crowed of the older generation at this time. It was quite good sitting here having a chat and a couple pints. If you like horse racing, then you're in. Horse races on every TV you look at. Some nice comfy seats out of the way if you want something bit more private to talk etc. This pub is right in the middle of town too.

P. E.

Great little pub, full of characters and very welcoming, couldn't find anywhere serving breakfast, the chef went out the way to do it for us even though it wasn't on the menu, fantastic service and friendly staff in a proper pub.

k. h.

Excellent service and food in the centre of Belfast very family friendly and great value highly recommended

A. B.

Vegetarian sausage creamy champ. Irish rib eye steak chunky chips .beer battered cod . Irish cheesy garlic soda .the food came to the table pipping hot .every dish was absolutely amazing..served by two lovely young waitress who couldn't do enough for us .would definitely recommend this hidden gem ..we all loved the visit .

Best food I've had in Ireland. Highly reccomend their open faces corned beef sandwich, the horseradish mayo was to die for. My partner had the burger and said it's the best he's ever had! Great sauvignon blanc and pleasant served to top it off with.

Chapel lane Sabre Tooth vs No Cahonnies Maguire. See bar staff for details or Ticket Master John Kelly. Big Gerry lol U OWE ME FOR THIS

C. M. G.

Friendly bar staff.nice atmosphere

G. B.

Quick visit for a quick snack. Blew my mind beyond all expectations . I've worked top kitchens around the country. But theres only 2 places worth mentioning. The Hercules in belfast. And, the basement in armagh. Basement for my breakie. But the hercules for my lunch and dinner in belfast. Bit of a travel but so so worth it. Simple honest pub grub. The tip i left Defo didnt.warrant the praise the girls deserved on the floor or the quality of the food served. Thank you so much ladies and young gent who helped in serving, o believe called Charles.x

S. M.
