Nice place but Door staff are a JOKE !!! Went 3 times in april got in once and got turned away once for to casual dressed even tho wore the same cloths a number of weeks earlier and 2nd time for apparently having been drinking even tho I got a parking space on the street at the entrance. Will be thinking of other places next time so will a number of my friends as the same type of stuff has happened to them. if your face don't fit don't bother!!!!!

Nice place to go for pre club drinks, service was pretty good and friendly I have been many times and have never had any complaints

Still a good night out. Real mix of age groups but middle floor tends to be younger. Yes there are a few spice boys around the place, but its Belfast what do you expect? Music is a bit more commercial now in the VIP, but personally I like recognising the odd tune. No complaints in the past and still none now, still a stylish bar compared to the majority of places in Belfast.

This place is for the brave or stupid only. Over 21 ????? The crowd was rough and young. Drinks when you eventually got served were poor (cocktails). Music was the same old same old. Staff looked and behaved unhappy to be working. Avoid this place if you want a good night. Decor is certainly looking a bit tired and grubby. Glad we changed our mind about eating in the place. Avoid Saturday nights in this venue.

21 social has really went to the dogs! Awful crowd, awful music! Not recommended!

Went to 21 social on Saturday night, hadn't been in since before the summer. It's the new Cafe Vaudeville. Bad music and bad crowd spread across 3 floors. Such a shame as it's a lovely venue and never had a problem with the door staff, always pleasant!

I used to like going to Cigarette Girl upstairs. It was always a place where you heard decent dance, old skool music, and was never too packed. You were also able to get a bit of a boogie as well. I went on Saturday a week ago expecting the same type of vibe, but was a bit disappointed to say the least. The music was just the same as you get downstairs, some current dance songs mixed with quite a lot of cheesey girlie r

Nice place, great music BUT door staff are a disgrace. It's understandable refusing entry to someone not dressed appropriately but the manner in which they do it is wrong. Ignorant, cheeky, smug, arrogant, big headed..............
I went to this place once and left early and while waiting outside on a few friends making their way out I stood and observed this. A few chocolate boys wearing more make-up than some of the girls in the place thinking they are someone because theiy're earning the min wage to stand at a door!!! Not a bad club but door staff are a major off put. Bar staff were fine.

After a god awful night out tonight I will not be back. Standards have really slipped in 21 social. Very young crowd, I would have been better somewhere in the odyssey, Rihanna seems to like it there. Such a shame.

For Stuart... Just to let you know most nightclubs in belfast do not allow boots as they see it as a health and safety issue due to the damage that can be cause by them in a fight ( not saying you

I had dinner in the restaurant last weekend. The food was awful but our waitress was lovely. Then we paid to go to the VIP room.... VIP?? It was the same as the other room only more expensive and I'm not sure where the VIP's were as it was very young girls running around with not much on and pervy old men letching over them, not a pleasant experience. Change of crowd required

Recently went to 21social, had table booked, got to the door and bouncer stated that my sons shoes were not to their standard, with much to do he let us take up our booking, when we got in the staff who were serving were wearing the same shoes, converse, if you are setting standards at your door make sure your staff are at the same standard. the meal was good but i am so glad your business can turn people away with what shoes they have on.

Stayed in the Merchant and experienced most of the bars in the area. 21 social by far the biggest disappointment. I had heard good reviews but the lunch menu was limited, the food was cold and the portions were tiny. The building was lovely and I especially liked the back bar but there wasn't enough seating in the bar for us older people. All in all it was disappointing.

One bouncer in particular was very nice, was wearing a smart jacket and got ink stamped on the inside of my wrist .. Bouncer started to say something and was expecting the usual wido banter you get but he was actually telling me to be careful I don't get ink on the jacket.
Doesn't sound like much but when you're used to a lot of the really unpleasant and almost aggressive bouncers in town I thought it was a nice touch.

Give a pretentious upstart a black shirt and an advertising umbrella and the "authority" will most definitely go to his head! Been to most clubs/bars in Belfast (including this one) and never have I came across such rudeness and ignorance from door staff! Very disappointing. The reason was..."by law I don't need a reason!" This was only one member of the door staff, the rest were sniggering in a huddle!! Extremely unprofessional and bad first impression for potential new customers.

Been here a few times and it is a good spot. Nice clientelle and a good friendly feel...except the bouncers. Last time they turned away two pals of mine and told them they weren't smart enough. OK one looked like a Lumberjack, check shirt, faded jeans and Timberlands. But 75% of blokes in Belfast dress like that on a saturday night!! Just for your info I was in an All Saints shirt, Diesel Jeans and Patrick Cox shoes...yes I do not come from Belfast!

had a meal then upstairs for drinks! staff a bit stuffy and club got sooo busy u couldnt even move! music was fantastic though!!
Submitted by judith on 05/05/2011
10 of us ladies went for a meal, seeing there was alot of us it was a set menu which was £20 for 3 courses, excellent value as the food was very good and so was the service. We stayed at our table and enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. Would definitly go back!! Great night!!

Modern design but lacking in intimacy and any sort of welcoming feeling. Overly serious doormen also detract from the overall ambience. Worth a look If you can get in and can stand the overall apathy of the place.
Submitted by Gabhan on 21/01/2011
what is the closing time?
Submitted by mark on 02/12/2010
The place is modern with plenty of airy space.
However the door staff are monkeys, a friend who was minding his own business was frog marched out arm behind back. When questionning the bouncer outside his repsonse oh sorry mistaken identity! poor

Bouncers are extremely ignorant and refused us entry and would not give a reason as to why. Went back the following week and got in but too busy, bar service poor and not enough seats, wont be back!

Submitted by leanne on 13/08/2010
First time at 21 social and will be back, nice atmosphere, music and nice crowd. definately talent to be found if your looking. took a while to get served but i think any popular bar on a saturday night is going to be like that.
Submitted by Cara on 13/08/2010
Very trendy Bar, well decorated, but that would be it, looks like professional cocktail bar but it is not, bartenders dosnt have clue what are they doing, telling unreal stories about orgins of cocktails ! As a professional barman with 15years of expirence working for bar magazine have to say No to this place.

Was there sat night, staff were great, place very trendy and very busy.
Food was really disappointing not what I was expecting but was reasonably priced.
Submitted on 25/07/2010
Only was in this place for about an hour and half...had to leave because it was bunged and the air conditioning wasn't turned on...I was close to sweating like a trooper!
Added to that it took almost 30 minutes for my mate to get served...I was dying of thirst!
Well decorated...a very trendy crowd (the usual jeans and blazer male crowd were evident)...if you haven't been there before the toilets are not well signposted.
Music was good now..DJ was very passionate doing his mixing!
Could be tempted to go back there once Ollies has been refurbished and it is less crowded...but won't be rushing back!

It was fitted out by Marcon Shop Fitters and designed by Soon Interiors. Great stuff both are local I think. Very different for Belfast and great food.
Submitted by Jim on 22/06/2010
I was there friday night. Brilliant place. Anyone know who did the fitout? Fantastic attention to detail!

I was there on the VIP opening night and I was really impressed with 21 Social. The staff were attentive and quick with drinks orders. The food was gorgeous and the design is fantastic! Highly recommend!
Submitted by Karen on 21/06/2010
I was there last night. Good spot, very fancy decor,a mixture of different types of music and cool people. Downstairs is a bar, the middle floor is more of a trendier type music bar/club, while the top floor is vip. It did get very packed though, so we left and went elsewhere after a few drinks.
