Rita'S Belfast Description

Throughout my long and distinguished career I have met many characters, travelled to far -flung places, and acquired a taste for the finer things in life. In my house, the clocks stop, the phones are off the hook, and secrets and kept just so. Enjoy the ambiance, the lavish surroundings, and delight at the creations and libations of our talented bartenders. Whether you call in for a light bite, a lovingly crafted cocktail, or perhaps something a little more disreputable, I aim to satisfy all of my customers needs. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show…

Love,

R

Roaring Bull 🍯
Zubrówka, Campari, Antica Formula Vermouth, Apple, Honey
A vodka which famously provoked aggression, we believe this variant can be sipped on more subtly, perfect after a long day of doing nothing. 💋

There's a reason why my name always crops up in best gin bar's around town.

Tigers Breath- Leblon Cachaça, fresh limes, Demerara and passionfruit.
Brazil's national drink the Caipirinha was rumoured to be born out of a treatment for the Spanish flu. I don't know the medicinal properties of our twist on it, but with the addition of passionfruit one can only assume it's an extra 1 of your 5 a day! Be warned, this kittys breath comes with a bite 🐅

User

Peruvian Marching Powder 🍸 Infused Pisco, Apple, Fresh Lime, Gomme, Whites
Pisco is a Peruvian grape brandy, and like myself it is delightfully fun to play around with, as it's versatility lends itself to being a great spirit for infusions.
Some of the best infusions include peach 🍑 chilli and chocolate 🌶️🍫and pineapple 🍍.
... Come to my den see what infusion it is this week, or even suggest some flavours for me to whip up. 💋

Went here for my birthday and I have to say the bar, floor and door staff were really friendly and polite and the table service from Colm and Aofie was fantastic! Cocktails were gorgeous and music was great!

User

Thank you James and Colm service second to none made June and I very welcome - so much so we been here 3 nights out of our 4 night stay xoxo Bar wonderful atmosphere also - see you very soon xoxo

User

Lovely place for a drink and cocktail- staff very helpful

User

I loved it! The decor is beautiful! Its so calming and really old school glamour....I felt like it was my own private space....very very efficent and personable staff...namely guy called matt....he asked what I wanted to drink and listened! Perfect! Id go back in a heartbeat!

User

Had a great time there, the drinks were expertly crafted and the bar's decor and music were a treat too. Staff were also very good to us so we look forward to heading back again in the future!

User

Had a fantastic evening with my eldest daughter.Wonferful atmosphere and great background music.It felt so comfortable in the big velvet sofas.I could have sat there all night and I did!! The bar man Matt was really nice.Very knowledgeable and friendly quick service and a big warm smile.Thank you Rita's.�

User

Good food.. good atmosphere..great friends !

User

First visit to Rita's. Staff all very attentive and well versed on making drink recommendations. Enjoyed a couple of beautifully prepared G&Ts and a bite of food. Service quick and very professional and a beautiful atmosphere. Will certainly be back �

User

Every time this place has exceptional customer service. Beautiful drinks, had some bar snacks last night and the chicken wings were so on point. Well played to everyone involved.

User

Called in for a few drinks yesterday afternoon. Loved it. Excellent service and cocktail recommendations from the guys at the bar. Margaritas are ridiculously good!! Will be back soon xx

User

Amazing! First night in Belfast with my partner and we were extremely impressed with the level of hospitality and decor of this place. Gorgeous to look at and the staff are so friendly! Would recommend to everyone visiting Belfast that this is a must! Massive thank you to Barney and the guy (we had many shots, his name escapes me) for making our visit so nice, one of the best nights i've had in a long time!

User

Always drop in at Rita's for the Margaritas when in Belfast. Love the atmosphere & quirkiness of it. Yes can be very busy at times & not always able to get a seat but c'est la vie, wouldn't put me off.

User

Like Rita's more every time I visit, bar staff are attentive, you get served with a nod and a thanks, which isn't always the case in this town.

Was nice to get a comfy seat and a DJ that plays some fab and funky sounds without blowing your ears off, wow a DJ that knows your in for a drink and a chat rather than a bar that thinks it's a night club.

Will be returning very soon.

User

Interesting bar.... when I finally got in. Due to a neurological condition I can only wear wide comfortable shoes, and even tho I was in a dress the doorman first wouldn't let me in because I was wearing sneakers. My friend was wearing jeans.... but I explained, and we got in tho. That's OK. Drinks.... well, the bartenders really works for their money! But it's a nice gimmick and I bet popular with the female customers. Nice atmosphere and OK staff, probably will visit again. Cool cocktails �

User

Have enjoyed Ritas for some time with great live music on a saturday afternoon friendly staff and super drinks but the decor is getting tired..the sticky carpet lets you down. Come on ritas ...wee clean up needed.

User

When we first came here it was special

Cocktails were different , this time not

So much. Tasted like a cosmo and pina colada nothing special for the price. Tipsy bird is better. No toilet roll and bouncer had the personality of a wet fish �

User

Nice atmosphere and good clientele but two bar staff on on a Friday evening in December, waited over 10 minutes for a drink and needless to say, didn't have a second.

User

I was to meet my husband & other's in Ritas having had a great time in Sweet Afton ( & having spent @ £250! with my colleagues )

He was challenged for wearing a four nation's top (is that not "cross community eblem displaying Ireland, England, Scotland & Wales, !! I.E the United Kingdom! ! ) Woulld you ban a tourist from Europe wearing their team' s loggo? I believe that your manger had doubt's even about a Nike logo!

Eventually we were severed in a booth that had been pre booked. ( & again spend over £200!)

I am sorry to say that the table's were unclean but cleaned on request ( & throughout the restaurant the floors were so sticky to walk on ,as we're the ladies toilets! ) I rarely post complaints as I usually can find something positive to say. Some of your staff were excellent but I would of thought that a positive experience would be your mission statement!

Disappointed customer! !

User

Nice bar and staff are friendly, but more interested in talking to each other than serving customers 15/20 min wait on one drink in an empty bar (bit much) we were the only four people in the bar all afternoon, food was unbelievably bad everything was cold, Chicken Skewers dry as a bone and hard as a brick, Calamari soggy and the Prawn twists should have been left in the sea. My advice stay clear! Really bad management.
