  “Did the bingo night and the organisation was terrible. They had a bottomless brunch on until six, but bingo started at five. They had 1 bar staff on from 5-6 with a bar full of parties trying to get Served drinks. I waited for over an hour to get my first drink. The whole bar screamed when they tried to start the bingo because pretty much everyone was still at the bar waiting to get served. The poor lads doing an amazing job had to wait to start there part of the night. The bar staff where sloth like serving and weren’t doing simple things like serving cans and insisting on poring into glasses instead or pausing cocktails till they got a handle on the backlog of waiting punters. In all many people where complaining 2 of are party decided to not drink at all rather than try to get served basically it was a shit show and if we could all get r money back for the tickets we would. They did one round of binder 2 numbers of the second round then it just all descended into madness and not wow what a good night madness more like everyone asking what’s going on madness.”

  “I've organised two work events here within the last year (where we hired out the entire venue), and the team have been excellent to work with (especially Rhiannon). They were responsive to my queries, helped with setup, and very accommodating with the external suppliers that we brought along for the event. The existing décor is fantastic (we didn't need to add much for the venue to look well decorated), and the outside space along with the games was perfect for our summer BBQ events. I would highly recommend the Tipsy Bird for private events”

  “Booked for group cocktail class. Very good experience. Tailored to our group event & staff were accommodating for all requests. Excellent beer garden, pizzas were homemade type, various topping options & throughly enjoyed by all in the group. High recommend this bar & all the staff who looked after us. Beautiful interior and outside decor”

  “Came here over the weekend with some friends and really couldn’t fault them! Drinks were amazing and great to see cocktails being made fresh in front of you unlike some places and the staff were all so kind. Especially the guy in the black tshirt RD and bar staff Loren for their energy and kindness through the night. Music was great and the atmosphere made it worth coming! Will definitely be back again!”

  “Booked to come here for a bottomless brunch at 4.30pm on a Saturday for my friends birthday. We were seated at our table and waited 15 minutes and noone came to take our drinks order so one of us went to the bar to ask what was going on, we were also advised that the pizzas would be coming at 5pm by a member of staff. At 6pm... 90 minutes after being seated 4 random pizzas arrived at our table. We were brought 2 ham pizzas, 1 olive pizza and 1 tomato pizza. We didn't have a choice of what pizza's we could have but after having 5 rounds of drinks without any food, any pizza was literally welcomed. Not sure I would come here again for a bottomless brunch as the timing with food/ drink ratio was completely off. The drinks were really nice though!”

  “The drinks were great but a very big, bald, older doorman was very creepy/sexual assaulty with my girlfriend. Would appreciate him getting flagged or something. Women be aware. Spoke to the bar staff about him, hope something is done.”

  “I reserved a table for four a month or so prior to a trip to Belfast with some friends. On arrival at 4.15pm there were no staff to help us in regard to our reservation, which meant we had to walk around the bar looking for our table. When we finally did find the table, it had been set up squeezed in the corner, next to statue for two people not four. Again, no staff available to help us with this, so we ended up moving the table around and begging for two extra chairs from other customers. The bar was busy, with only two staff tending. We overheard them saying that some staff hadn't showed up, so our patience for them was considerable. My friend and I defended the wait three times to other customers who were starting to get angry and shout over the queue. After 25 minutes of waiting, we were about to get served when two men who had just joined jumped in ahead of us; the bar person took their order immediately. I pointed this out and was staggered to get a reply of "it's not a queueing service, I'm not doing this" followed by a hand put up to my face. At this point both my friend and I turned around, grabbed our other friends and left. We found another great bar called Hell Cat Maggie's which was excellent and would highly recommend. In short, absolutely awful from start to finsh. I regret defending their staff to other angry customers and wasting the better part of an hour of our evening in Belfast there. I'm yet to find out if I will get charged for my deposit, I expect I will and will have to deal with that at some point.”

  “Was there yesterday for the ABBA Brunch. Had to queue outside at 1pm to get in as the doors didn’t open until then. More queues inside for drinks as everyone obviously arrived at the same time and went straight to the bar. Drinks overpriced and served in plastic cups! When paying £20 into a venue and £32 for a bottle of wine you would expect a proper glass. We witnessed a 60 year old woman being asked to leave by the bouncers because she reached behind the bar for a glass! Disgraceful! Event didn’t really start until 2pm, even though it was advertised from 1pm-5pm but wasn’t the fun ABBA experience that was expected. Tables were sticky and the place just felt very unclean. Would not recommend either this event or the venue to anyone”

  “Visited to see if it was a little more than tiki-adjacent, they did have tiki cocktails. The drinks were good, but maybe it being a Friday night, the DJ was blairing country music full volume and that at least killed my vibe as well as any tiki connection.”

  “We went to the drag show for my 60th birthday. The staff were great.& so were the cocktails. They made. We had the best afternoon, the drag show was brilliant. I highly recommend going to the tipsy bird to celebrate a special occasion”
