If your anywhere near city hall, then this bar perfectly located for a quick bite to eat or a quiet drink. Blink and you'll miss it, because its actually located downstairs (hence the name the basement!) just past the ulster bank headquarters. There are plenty of tvs for you to watch, so its an ideal place to watch the football, if your in to it that is!

If your anywhere near city hall, then this bar perfectly located for a quick bite to eat or a quiet drink. Blink and you'll miss it, because its actually located downstairs (hence the name the basement!) just past the ulster bank headquarters. There are plenty of tvs for you to watch, so its an ideal place to watch the football, if your in to it that is! Food was your general menu; burgers paninis etc. I had a panini and it was pretty nice, but it was just a panini. If your heading out to a bar in town on a thurs/fri/sat then it is a very relaxing and quiet place to have a quiet drink before getting deafened in a nearby club!

Slightly tucked away because (surprise!) it's in a basement, this bar is right in the city centre beside the city hall. Location could hardly be bettered as it's so close to the main streets and the new Victoria centre. Been in several times, never too busy. Food served at the back, tasty, fairly run of the mill food, nothing too adventurous but if you like burgers, topped wedges, paninis etc you'll be glad you came. I had jerk chicken wedges which was disappointingly bland, I thought it'd be spicy but the wedges were satisfyingly thick and crisp. Good value, service is good, no overpowering music thankfully.
