The Botanic Inn - Carta

I have become old or has the current generation of students less expected a pub / nightclub. Hmm, I suspect that questions are answering themselves...

As a student, this place was my local. Now a little, ahem, older, it would not really be my cup Chardonnay for a Saturday night as it is still packed...

I will definitely not return to this restaurant and will be sharing with others about how poorly it is managed. The staff are rude and aggressive, the atmosphere is dead, and there is very little fun to be had. I would not recommend this as a place to visit in Belfast. Ver carta

Awful experience at this restaurant. The door staff were terrible, the manager was entitled, and the bar staff seemed to be exploited for cheap labor. The toilets were in poor condition, with flies everywhere and crusty residue on the sides. Overall, a disappointing and unsanitary experience.

Awful service, I recently went to enjoy the rugby with a group of friends, immediately on entry we were greeted by extremely rude bouncers upon entering the bar we seen hundreds of clearly underage children and to top it off we were left waiting for nearly an hour trying to purchase a drink. I won’t be returning.

A group of seven of us spent three hours in the pup, where I was blatantly and unapologetically overcharged at the bar. I wasn’t given a receipt, had to ask twice before I was eventually and grudgingly given a receipt. I was charged for three pints instead of 2 pints a sparkling water.. a senior bar man was still playing dumb as if he didn’t know what he had done.. eventually he threw £5:20 back at me, no apology.. no ‘sorry about that’. Very bad form, I wouldn’t go back.. Ver carta

Botanic Inn bouncer at a pre-formal took lots of ID of the young ones and wouldn't give it back!! He was standing squealing at and physically pushing ones crying and begging for their ID back for their formals next week to go away and he was being very aggressive towards them. I would suggest people avoid this place as this mistreatment of young ladies is just not acceptable and it was indeed a pre-formal! Where even young people from school running it were abused and turned away. Such a cruel individual to do and a blatant abuse of power, refuse entry yes but give them back their IDs, some were actually the real deal and now they're stranded also. Such a bully!! Spend your money in a friend...

I couldn't give this restaurant less than 1 star, I wanted to give it zero. I recently visited and was completely ignored by the staff at the bar. It was early on a Friday evening and the bar was not busy (maybe 30 people). The staff went out of their way to avoid making eye contact with us while we waited at the beer pumps. They chatted amongst themselves, pretended to tidy up, played on their phones, and even walked away. When my date asked for a drink, we were rudely told, "I'm not going to serve you." When I questioned whether it was because we were gay or because he was Asian, I was met with an eye roll and ignored for another 3 minutes. It seemed like they were more focused on serving...

Went here a year ago for Scotland v England in the Euros football, won’t be back ever again! Visiting Belfast for the first time in years with my brother in law from London who has autism so has to be minded at all times. We both had England football shirts and got something to eat and arrived early. We wanted to walk around and see all the new changes since lockdown, beer garden/big screens etc. Everywhere we went though we were followed by big burly security bouncers, never felt more intimidated in all my entire life. Went to the toilets at one stage and one of them (reddish haired chap) even cheekily said “where are yous two going to now?” Throughout the whole match there always two of th... Ver carta
