  “Thank you so much to the bouncer that found my phone tonight, you were so friendly and understanding! I can’t thank you enough! The atmosphere is great here, it’s never overcrowded there’s always room to dance and the toilets never have a massive queue (like kremlin) but there is a lively vibe with ACTUAL gay people!! Honestly best club in Belfast.”

  “after paying a six pound entry fee we were denied entry back into the club after just 10 minutes. we stepped outside to visit the maverick and get some fresh air and when we tried to go back in we were told that my friend was “stumbling down the street” and that she had “too much to drink tonight”. my friend and i hadnt been down the street we went round the side so dont know how she was stumbling down the street seems like a money grab and a way to take advantage of young girls. extremely rude bouncer aswell as when i tried to reason with him and say we hadnt been down the street maybe you saw someone else he was very stern and set in that she wasnt coming back in. first time going and wont be going back”

  “Me and my boyfriend attended here tonight on Thursday 24th September as we had enjoyed our night with the drag queens in Ulster and they had gave us a booklet for free entry, we got in we’re having so much fun until my boyfriend touched my arm that I had gotten bloods taken from which was still sore the bouncer seen me pull my arm back and two seconds my boyfriend was pulled outside I followed them, the bouncer said that my boyfriend was not allowed back in as he was “too drunk” when I was as drunk as which he could see, I also did show my arm which still has bruising and the marks of where I got my bloods done, I was told that he was not allowed back in but when I tried to explain that the reasoning didn’t make sense and I was not listened to because he knew he was in the wrong, I thought that this bar would be good fun which it was until this bouncer ruined my experience I’m not sure that I will return if me and my boyfriend will get treated like this again, even though they have rules about the bar we treated it with respect and followed the rules I still do not understand why my boyfriend was kicked out”

  “First time I ever went and it was a blast. Admittedly had a bit too much to drink and it was great to see one of the barstaff Emi who's my friend McDonald's breakfast the next day is coming in clutch. Heads up for anyone planning to go, it is a £6 entry fee”

  “Turned away at the door for being a heterosexual couple... absolutely disgusting and unprofessional behaviour from the door staff... spent nearly 2 hours at the maverick bar which was amazing... then got stamped and told to go to the boombox to continue r night out... when me and my partner got to the door the door staff were extremely rude, unprofessional and discriminated against my partner and myself straight away for being a straight couple... even the people in the queue we stating it was disgusting as we had been with them in the mavrick bar. we did no harm at all but want to go and have a dance... talk about equal rights... well none we're given here... the maverick bar staff and entertainment were amazing. They talked us into going to the boombox as we were not drunk and were just enjoying ourselves. We asked a few times if we would be permitted into the boombox to be told absolutely as we were doing no harm to anyone then proceeded to give us a stamp and told to go and have a good night. with previous experience working in a nightclub that held a night for gays I can tell you now that door man would have been sacked in an instance. Never again will I be near the place with door men like that on the door.... shocking behaviour from men that are meant to be in a professional job and told not to discriminate. Left in the street as we had our lift home ordered for 3am... professional is not in there vocabulary... what door men you ask it was the 2 that were on the door on Friday 29th May 2026!!!!!!!! Horrible horrible experience and people. Pity the couldn't be like the staff in the maverick bar. Does this mean gay members of the community are not allowed into straight bars or is it double standards in there eyes....”

  “Just wanted to leave a review to say how great one of the female bouncers at Boombox was last night. I had a bad experience with two men in the bathrooms which left me upset and a bit intimidated. The bouncer came in while I was upset and was just so kind and lovely. after i told her what happened she offered to kick the men out but since it was basically closing time anyway I told her not to worry. She was brilliant and I just wanted to leave a review because she really made a difference to my night :)”

  “Suprised by the other reviews, the bouncers were sound as, it sufficies to be decent and dead on and you'll have no bother. It's a safe space for people, so be respectful to keep it that way if you're going. Put myself and friends on the list beforehand also and was welcomed, assured and everyone got in and had an excellent night - heard music can be a bit hit and miss but the saturday night we went the Dj was brilliant. Will definitely go again.”

  “Woeful night out in belfast One of the last gay clubs in belfast, however almost thinking of booking a night away and going to the George at this stage, bouncers constantly turning myself and my girlfriend from the doors for not being a “part of the community”. Unsure if there is a membership fee to this place or if they are referring to the lgbt community (which we both have lifetime membership’s to). Not sure what part of the club to tell people to look out for most, the lady bouncer asking couples at the door to “prove their relationship” in front of her, or the door people charging anywhere from 3£ to 10£ at the door consistently on non event nights. Would not recommend and have started looking for other non lgbt club spaces just to have a stress free night.”

  “My friend was assaulted in boombox by a bouncer for dancing. I had to defend her and we got thrown out over this. The staff separated us from our personal items and treated us horribly. The female bouncer was on a power trip like I've never seen. Disgusting behaviour”
