On arrival at 2:15 a lady told us the room wouldn't open until 2:30pm. No worries. She did return shortly after to tell us to go on up. The food choices were chicken curry rice and lasagne. The curry sauce was five star as was the perfectly cooked rice. I didn't try the lasagne. I wanted more curry than chicken and the lady serving did her best. There were the usual 1 star cheap meat sausage rolls and cocktail sausages - no thanks not for me. The sandwiches I had (only egg and onion) were good but the addition of ham and tomato didn't work so the ham and tomato were removed. Service was good, the room was comfortable. Can't imagine ever returning.

It can be quite cold if you're sitting near the door as there is always a steady stream of people meaning the doors are constantly opening. The pints are usually good but have had a few word tasting ones, as well as the hop house 13 being 'called off' everytime I've been in. Saying that, the music is always good, and now they have Harley's restaurant which is good too

It's a comfortable little bar, renovated in the last 5 years or so. The downstairs bar is very small, and always has a few punters milling about, given its location in the middle of the densely populated Andersonstown, which is also a hub of local shopping. Food is served upstairs on the extended first floor. The food's pretty good, and gets quite busy at the weekends, although there's always a local patronage throughout the week. I've only ever had a Fry in there, which used to be fantastic because they were a sort of "clean" fry - no greasiness or sausages sliding off the plate as you try to stick a fork in them. The last two times I've had a fry there it's been a bit disappointing though. I don't know if it's a different chef but they just aren't quite as good as they used to be - I still go back though because they're not bad. There's an extensive lunch menu and this is what keeps the locals coming back time and again. When the food is finished, upstairs just becomes a bar, and it's sort of a modern take on a traditional style, if you can picture that. I mean, it's got the whole wooden effect going on, but also has very comfortable and roomy seats. There's entertainment on there a few evenings a week, particularly at the weekend, but this is mostly aimed at a younger crowd. All-in-all, not a bad spot, especially if you happen to be milling around during the day and fancy a pint or two, or a bite to eat.

The room was large and comfortably warm with lots of tables and chairs. The sound system was great and we got unplanned company - two folks we know came up and asked to join us. They were delightful company. A great crowd turned out for this very very funny man - typical Newry as most folks appeared just 10 minutes before the show start. The bar had a few staff to cope with a happy, thirsty crowd. During interval time I got a bar order for three and then popped down to the ground floor bar for a very tasty cappuccino just for me. All served with a smile. The event itself was organised by the wonderful A Iur Cinn Fleadh. They also organise the boat trips down Newry canal. The last time we saw his show here it was also organised by them in a city that you wouldn't think has a public arts centre and a public town hall. They aren't just under used they aren't used. They are truly wonderful volunteers and great ambassadors for our area. They are almost the last volunteer group we have standing here as our local NMDDC has/is systematically destroying such groups. They are a different type of comedy club who want to spend £18 million on their own new premises with a free car park for themselves but don't ask about a public park. The High Street community group are deliberately starved of funding and the local LGBTQI Pride In Newry were so successful at running events they had to be cast aside despite running much better events for a fraction of the prices incompetent NMDDC shell out. Wake The Giant is a giant annual waste of rates money well into six figures.

Bellini's made my wedding. Okay, well my husband gets most of the credit, but the staff at…read moreBellini's did an incredible job. My husband and I were living in London so we only were able to visit a few times before our April 2013 wedding to confirm arrangements. Even though our wedding was very atypical for Ireland -only 60 guests, we brought our own music on a laptop, we made a toastie bar at the back for the late buffet (bringing our own toastie maker), and limited decor- they took care of everything. On the night of, the whole staff did an incredible job of taking care of our guests, some of whom were picky about food and got some alternate options. Eamon (sp?) was there to attend to our every need. He kept refilling our beverages at the head table so we never had to head to the bar. Our specifications for the meal were handled expertly. I am lactose-intolerant and they made sure to accommodate with a milk-free soup as a starter. We ordered 2 bottles of wine per table that were laid out for us. For a great price we had a turkey option (no ham because I don't eat pork), beef, and vegetarian option available for all of the guests. We didn't have to specify exact numbers, either; servers went around with plates and sorted it all very easily for us. We were able to pick our own flavours for cheesecake dessert, too! My husband loves Galaxy Caramel and their chefs were able to whip together a Galaxy Caramel cheesecake that everyone loved. There was a bride's room beside the reception so I could sneak away for a break and leave my purse there. The bartender was great, as well. Overall, everything was handled so wonderfully from the planning, to the tea before the reception while we had our photos taken, to the meal and dancing. Everyone did their best to make our night perfect. They even had a deal on at the time where we got a free brunch the next day with our guests! We had about 20 people for a delicious chicken curry breakfast with, again, great service. They cleaned up after the event and had all of our things organized for us (laptop, vases we had rented from elsewhere for each of the tables, etc). I can't recommend Bellini's any more highly as a wedding reception venue. They made my wedding day relaxing and enjoyable. I had the best day of my life and Bellini's was a big part of that.
