About The Bone Yard
The Bone Yard is a pub in Belfast at 29 Bedford St, where three food vendors share one open-plan space with the bar. Orto, Wing It and Hi Burger each trade from their own stall, and the food menu includes Mac'N'Cheese loaded fries. Guests go to the bar for drinks and go to the stalls for food, so there is no single ordering point. Live music plays in the evening. Groups can book, and a manager arranges a large space for bigger parties. Seats beside the heaters are available in cold weather.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the atmosphere and music, describing a buzzing, colorful space with live music in the evening, an emo night one visitor loved, and outdoor seating that suits a sunny afternoon. Close behind are the street food stalls, where chicken tenders with garlic parmesan fries and Mac'N'Cheese loaded fries earn praise. Others are less taken: one found the Hi Burger burger just ok and wished for more stalls, and another visited during the rugby when half the food trucks were closed. Drinks get good marks for the beer selection and cocktails on tap, though one notes no alcopops are sold. Drinks and food are ordered at the bar and stalls. Door staff split opinion, with one reviewer thanking the friendly door staff and another calling a bouncer unfriendly. Several describe kind, helpful staff, and two groups say the manager organised a big space for their booking and helped set it up on the night.

“I didn’t eat but if you’re looking for something with great music, cocktails On tap and beers with a great atmosphere, stop here. I discovered this place by chance just by taking a left on my walk and I’m so happy I did! The music, to my taste, was so cool and it has a great atmosphere.”
- Sam Le Seelleur
“Genuinely believe the older man manning the door should be investigated. Was denied entry for “walking weirdly” and told expressly that his reason for denying entry was being too drunk. Stone cold sober and being denied entry for walking oddly as someone who suffers from chronic leg pain is disgraceful.”
- Amy O'Donnell
“Spoke to the manager Dylan who was great and organised a big space for a group of us. All the staff were kind, attentive and helpful. Food was great too from the street food places. They had live music on in the evening it was such a good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.”
- Diane Hill
“Had a large group booking and Dylan was so helpful from booking it right the way through to the event. The Boneyard accomodated our requests and on the night the staff were great. Dylan helped us set up and was so professional and brilliant to work with. Everyone had an amazing night and we'll definitely be back!”
- CD Kate
“Had the most amazing Mac’N’Cheese loaded fries and the portions were HUGE! Bouncer wasn’t very nice but I’ll not waste my breath on him right now. Will definitely be back though (if he won’t try and stop me like last time)”
