  “I have genuinely never been in a bathroom as dirty as this place. The male bathroom accessible from the beer garden is shocking. There must have been 15 flies swarming about, the sinks designed to look rustic are actually just stinking. As if they’ve seen their fair share of vomit. The toilet area was covered in urine which I can appreciate they can’t control but it stayed like that the entire time I was there (3.5 hours)”

  “A great place to relax after exploring Belfast. The atmosphere was lively without feeling too crowded, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink or spending the evening with friends, it’s a comfortable spot with plenty of character.”

  “Went for dinner with friends on a one night stay in Belfast. Great menu, we had the traditional boxty options, absolutely delicious, then shared a couple of lovely desserts. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Told us there was live music on in the beer garden, we couldn't hear anything so thought it must have been dead. Was totally jumping, band were brilliant, everyone was having a great time. So glad we visited.”

  “Had a meal yesterday the place wasn’t too busy plenty of staff on but they all seemed to huddle round the bar having a chat including the manager. Had to go to the bar to order our drinks after 20 mins as no one came to take the order. Brought our food but no cutlery asked twice but none came so we had to take them from another table. Food was average. £8 for a dessert that was tiny! Lots of tourists in and they weren’t happy with the service either in fact one couple got up and left after waiting for menus for 20 minutes.”

  “We booked a large group of over 20 people at The Thirsty Goat in Belfast and had an amazing experience. The communication beforehand was clear and helpful, and the team was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our plans and attendance numbers shifted — a huge relief when organizing a big group. The festive atmosphere made the whole evening feel special. They even set Christmas crackers on the table for us, which our students loved! The service was efficient, the staff were friendly, and the live music added the perfect touch. Chris and Luca were especially helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly for our group. We had a fantastic time, and my students left so happy. Highly recommend The Thirsty Goat for anyone planning a large group outing!”

  “Great spot!!! Very friendly group of people from the manager to the hostess to the barkeeps! Food was tasty and very well executed.. Mushrooms were a great app Cauliflower had a nice kick of heat and sweet Fish and chips was delicious, a whole portion of cod with a mild tartar sauce and mushy peas (these needed some love.. tasted frozen with zero seasonings or texture) Fish was cooked perfectly & seasoned well Chips needed to be cooked a bit more & could have used more seasoning directly out of the fryer Curry was tasty & added a great acidic flavor Tarter needs seasoning as well Other than that the place is beautiful & the food (other than a bit of s&p was executed & cooked very well!”

  “Fantastic food and amazing atmosphere staff were very friendly phoned 5 mins before we turned up and were seated immediately. We got the chicken stack with colcannon mash and tobacco onions Irish stew and fish and chips between the three of us. With drinks the entire bill came to just under £70 but the food was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken and mash was an absolute delight the chicken was moist and flavourful I normally heavily season my food however I didn’t need any on it was perfect. The Irish stew was so hearty and full of flavour comes with two slices of bread plenty of vegetables in it and gravy, what a treat! The fish and chips was so crispy and flakey chips had a nice crunch and fluffy on the inside and the fish it’s self was crisp moist and Lilly white inside cooked to perfection. Drinks where reasonably priced we also had a traditional Irish coffee which was an experience in and of it’s self.”

  “Recommend by a friend’s son, bar and restaurant. Walked in and was greeted by someone straight away . Took us to a lovely seat , lots to choose from the food and drink menu. Two of us had the Christmas roast dinner and one of us had the chicken , mash and vegetables. The atmosphere in this place was amazing. Staff were very attentive always making sure we had everything we needed . We all can say without a doubt this was the best food we have eaten , the flavours were great and plenty to eat too. I have never been a fan of Brussel sprouts but whatever they do to them were fantastic. The three of us shared a sticky toffee pudding too. Customer service 10/10 the same for the food and the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting Belfast .”
