    The best place to enjoy your day expecially weekends. There is always live band to give you the best songs you can ever get. Big screens to watch all types of sport and great events. A great place to meet great staff, spend your great time and meet great and nice people. Love this place.

    Great pub with live music on a Sunday night by Liam McGrandle ! The staff are friendly especially Gary the doorman who goes the extra mile to make you feel very welcome! Also, the atmosphere is great with everyone singing along with Liam. I’ve never tried the food but it’s on my list 😊

    Hidden gem in Merchant City, though not really hidden it seemed less busy than most bars in the area! I had the Belfast bramble which was lovely though I had no idea of the pricing or ingredients before it was purchased as this was not displayed on the board. We were outside so maybe menus are only inside? Either way I’d still happily pop back to try almost every other cocktail on their menu 😂

    Popped in after a magic Mike tribute in arta as they had live music on this guy gets the one star but OMG do not order a drink near closing time the staff will LITERALLY RIP IT RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HAND no exaggeration he actually grabbed it no apology like any other bar sorry we are closing drink up please the Irish guy just grabbed it I get staff want to go home and had he said sorry u need to drink up like all bars do then fair enough but we had just bought the drink they shouldn’t serve anyone if they don’t have time to finish it and certainly shouldn’t grab a drink out your hand I would never go in this bar again this was one member of staff who is in the wrong job

    Place was rammed but service was very good and didn't have to wait to get served. Brilliant atmosphere watching the rugby.

    My husband and I popped into this bar after we had been out shopping. It was very quiet but we weren't intending to stay long. 4 stars is for the 2 girls on the bar who were so delightful and kept the atmosphere going for the small number who were in the pub. They were a joy, so big thanks to Kia and Kira who were fab.

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
