Belfast / Nightlife / Bar


 

So hip it hurts, Apartment has established itself as the place to call into morning, noon and night. By early evening you’re lucky if you can grab a table or stool to try its fusion menu and cocktail range. The staff are charming and welcoming, especially if you’re a solo traveller.

 

Come at twilight, when dozens of tealights are lit and the low-slung leather sofas look most inviting. This is a favou-rite meeting place for media people and professionals. Snacks are served Mondays to Fridays until 9pm and DJs play on weekend nights.

 

If you don’t mind the queues, you can join the crowds at this ever-popular South Belfast bar and club. Weekend nights you could spend as much time outside waiting as inside dancing. A hip hang-out peopled by everyone from sports stars, secretaries and PR people to professional liggers.

 

Another morning to night, coffee to cocktails venue, housed in a former printing press. Food is served until 9pm. An alternative art crowd mingles with young professionals, and the interior décor of plants and monolithic figures takes some beating.
