| - As a bar, this place is small with a relaxed atmosphere, and the bartender when we were there (on a weekday just before a Knights game) was very friendly and attentive. When I saw the 4.5 star rating and people raving about the Irish breakfast burrito, I was pretty stoked about it, not just for beer but for food as well. But be warned: their food is not their own food, nor is it authentic Irish in any sense. Nefelie's, a pretty wretched Greek restaurant across the alley, makes their food apparently. I had had a bad experience at Nefelie's before, but with no time for plan B before the game, got food anyway. If you're hoping for authentic Irish food (and in other reviews folks were raving about the authenticity of the place) I'm not sure you can find it here. Their "fish and chips" was closer to "fried fish and French fries," but in a really unremarkable, not authentically Irish way. I'd definitely give Belfast Mill 4-5 stars AS A BAR (it's very relaxed and is refreshingly not pretentious in what is the most pretentious part of Charlotte north of Ballantayne), but I'm giving it 3 stars because I'm just that disappointed in the crappy fish. Or did I miss something? Where oh where was the Irish breakfast burrito?!
