Any recommendations ?
From quirky shops to tasty cafes.

If you fancy a little trip to the seaside when ur over here why not try Portrush. Absolutely fantastic scenery and places to visit and id be delighted to take u to sample some of norn iron’s finest cuisine in the harbour bistro where i’ll wine, dine and 69 you until ur filled to satisfaction  xx |

Jokes aside.
If you're planning to have company- make sure to check with the hotel if you're allowed to bring a friend to bring a friend to your room (some hotels are quite strict with their policies).
Love and death does amazing cocktails, if you want a more Liberal and relaxed atmosphere- gay quarter is your friend. Maverick and Union Street will greet you with quickiest and gun people to surround yourself with.
Berts will give you a relaxing jazzy atmosphere.
If i were you I would steer clear from Harp, dirty onion, thirsty goat, bootleggers etc. Popular spots that might be good fun, but are often just overcrowded resulting in slow service and overpriced drinks.
Judging by your profile I think you would love to check out a clothes shop called "Fresh garbage" (it's not an insult, they have some fantastic variety of quircky clothing with hints of gothic style).
Foodwise... sky is your limit.
One of best restaurants I've been to is almost invisible on the main streets but boy their food is out of this world - "Howard street".
They serve lunch and dinner.
Whatever you do - make sure you book everything in advance.
Also when booking make sure you're paying a deposit and not a booking fee as the latter will not be taken off your bill.
Enjoy Belfast |

Also worth checking out Taylor and Clay in the Bullitt hotel. Pricy but lovely. |

I was debating staying at the Bullitt hotel but a lot of the reviews said it was super noisy |

What bad ass karma said, can't go wrong with that + if you want some trad and a good atmosphere the points is a great shout and right in the city centre. Best atmosphere in any bar I've been in since lockdown opened but rules adhered to as well.

Depends why you are there. I know it’s original plan was for people out partying to come back too so noise wasn’t an issue. If your wanting to stay for drinks and social life it’s perfect. |

If you are just here for the weekend then staying in Belfast itself should be enough to fill your time with. As someone mentioned earlier, Portrush or other areas around the Antrim coast are just absolutely beautiful. Whatever you do, the Belfast people are some of the friendliest in the world. Have a great time. |

Hotel is booked flights are sorted.
I’m thinking of going to the vintage market, the prison. Don’t think I will bother with the titanic bit but will see how much time I have.
I looked at the black cab tours but think that will be too expensive for me as a single.
A friend is taking me out to the countryside as well.
I might put up a meet request for a social while I’m there

Some great ideas mentioned. If you don’t do the black cab tour the open top bus tour is cheaper and there will be plenty of others in it. Muriel’s is a quirky bar with plenty of cocktails and underwear hanging from the ceiling! Also worth checking out George’s Market |
