Top Best American Restaurants in Belfast

"The cocktail menu is a lengthy two pages of specialised gin and whiskey cocktails, and the bar carries an extensive range of American craft beers, fairly limited in other bars throughout the city. The bench seating in a funky Caribbean interior and sharing cocktails, along with a fantastic range of pub food (a full menu is served upstairs), make this bar one of the best spots for groups. The bar is located a few steps from Belfast’s major shopping district, Victoria Square, so make sure to grab a seat before the retail shops close because this bar gets crowded at night."

"If you haven't tried Bootleggers for a food flat-lay then where have you been?. Not only does it look great, it tastes great too, and is located just beside Victoria Square. You have to love the places who have set out to be aesthetic."

"Pablos is a tiny little burger shop near the Cathedral Quarter, with a pub called Muriel’s Cafe attached to it next door. You can order your food to take away if you like (I did), but the pub is actually awesome. If nothing else, it’s worth peeking inside just to have a look at the fifty colorful bras hanging from the ceiling like bunting!"

"In the heart of Belfast's city-centre nightlife is this wickedly good burger bar serving quality, salt-aged Glenarm Shorthorn beef patties, five types of fries and 20 sauces including Mexican Tequila ranch sauce..."

"Friendly staff, great menu, their vegetarian options are delicious, tofu with lots of fresh veg. Be sure to try their salted chilli king prawn, noodles, curry and honey chilli chicken are also a great shout at this establishment according to reviewers. There’s now even a cocktail list so you can try an expertly made cocktail."

"On time but the worst chicken Chow Mien I have ever had, ever!. Nothing more than chicken pieces and dry noodles. No vegetables, sauce, sprouts, nothing!"

"A retro pink caravan, quirky baked goods, puppacinos and fresh coffee, what an epic combo. If you haven't heard of Coop before now, you must have spent lockdown living under a rock. It's been a viral success since it first opened in February."

"387 is a newer cafe in Belfast, and specialises specifically in vegan coffee. Their selection of non-dairy milks is impressive, and their coffee is even more so. Vegan traybakes and cakes are also on offer, and we recommend the fifteens, a Northern Irish favourite filled with (gelatine-free) marshmallows."

"As well as all your posh little French patisserie morsels, you can order huge gateaus with loads of layers of sweet, tasty goodness!. Their hot chocolate is also renowned - along with their apple and cinnamon tarts - a perfect, warming wintery treat!"

"For history buffs, the Northern Ireland War Memorial recounts the impact of the two World Wars on Belfast and Northern Ireland as a whole. The small museum has an interesting exhibit on the Belfast Blitz 1941 and a number of artifacts related to the wartime industries that dominated Belfast life during WWII. There are also several pieces of art that serve as memorials to those lost during the wars, as well as a wealth of information about the role U.S. forces played in Northern Ireland during the Second World War."

"The war memorial gallery is a must-see attraction for visitors with an interest in the Home Front and US Forces in Northern Ireland during the Second World War. The activities of the local people on the Home Front and the US Forces are displayed in life size dioramas. The fallen are remembered in a magnificent stained glass window, a commemorative wall in black Belgian marble and a granite plinth containing Books of Remembrance from both world wars."

"Located in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter beside Belfast Cathedral, the War Memorial Gallery is a ‘must see’ for anyone with an interest in Northern …"

"Farmhouses, forges, churches, mills and a complete village have been reconstructed at this excellent museum, with human and animal extras combining to give a powerful impression of Irish life over the past few hundred years. From industrial times, there are red-brick terraces from 19th-century Belfast and Dromore. Another highlight is the Picture House, a silent cinema that was housed in a County Down hayloft from 1909 to 1931. There's even a corner shop dating from 1889 selling sweets from glass jars."

"Devoted to the province's social history, the excellent Ulster Folk and Transport Museum vividly brings Northern Ireland's past to life."

"HMS Caroline has undergone extensive restoration and visitors can now discover a range of historic spaces including the Captain Crookes Cabin, Royal Marines Mess, Seamen’s Wash, engine room, sick bay and galley kitchen. Explore the importance of the Battle of Jutland and discover what life was like at sea for over three hundred crew who served on board. In the Torpedo School, visitors can learn about the role of naval weaponry and design a ‘Dazzle’ paint scheme for their ship, explore the insides of a torpedo and learn about the various roles of crew when in battle."

"A newer addition to the already excellent collection of attractions in Belfast's Titanic Quarter, HMS Caroline is one of the last surviving vessels to have seen service in both world wars. Recently refurbished, the ship was commissioned in 1914 and patrolled the North Sea, as well as participating in the pivotal Battle of Jutland. Opened in her present location to the public in 2016, a tour of this floating museum and its visitor center provides a great deal of fascinating information about WW1 and the ship's history."
