There's a lot of posts about the food here so I'll be a little different and talk about the bar experience here! If you haven't passed by Belfast at 11pm on a Friday night, you'll definitely see the line up from wherever you are. This place is seriously POPPIN that's why people will wait in line in winter just to get in (but hey, they've got great heaters in the line so you aren't cold!). The DJs playing great tunes all night, the bar is packed but you never have to wait long for a drink, theres plenty of tables and seats for girls who get tired in heels-it's honestly good vibes all around! They've even got every beer you can think of on tap! I've had some fun nights here and everyone around me seems to be too.
Now here's the best part..the security!! I have no idea why all the bouncers here are SO NICE!! Usually on King West you will be greeted by a team of angry bouncers who only see you as a number and want to make you feel inferior to them. At Belfast, you get greeted by Claudio, who gives you a nice smile and treats you like a buddy. At the same time he does his job of crowd control and managing the flow of people. I've seen him direct smokers to the right corner and not in a demanding way that you'd get at other places. Now inside Belfast, you'll see the other bouncers making sure everything is ok but also enjoying themselves too. The bouncer next to the DJ is really feeling the music and dancing along which is something I've never seen before. One more thing that I appreciate is the security moves around the bar in a courteous manner. I've been shoved before by the security at other bars and it's really not cool. Honestly come here one time and you'll feel like a regular!
