    Bert’s bar has everything you could want for a memorable night out. We went there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The atmosphere and decor was relaxed, warm and comfortable. We found the staff to be very professional and courteous. We were given a glass of water as soon as we sat down while we looked through the innovative cocktail menu. For food we opted for the baked camembert and sharing platter of cured meats and duck liver parfait which came with lots of toasted sourdough. It was very tasty with ample food for two people sharing. The caramel baked Alaska which we shared for dessert was absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend trying it. The band were very good, providing a lovely relaxed background to the evening as opposed to feeling like you were at a show. Overall we had a really lovely enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend Bert’s bar for a great night out.

    This is belfasts premier late night venue. I had high expectations which were surpassed 10 fold. The food was fantastic and service was excellent. Lorcan was superb young man who attended to our every need and made the night even better. The music and singing will see us return often. We loved it all the maitre d runs the place like clockwork and it’s basically perfect.
