The Botanic Inn
15 Reviews
The Botanic Inn , also known as the Bot is situated on the Malone Road, approxamately 1/2 mile from Queens University.
The Bot is a popular venue for both students and Belfast locals. It is also a place to see many sporting events on T.V. as there are ample projection screens insdie. Prices for drink can be regared as average. Food is sevred during the day.
There is decent music downstairs but can get crowded very quickly at night.
Upstairs is also usually packed, but a cracking night can be had if you're in the right mood.
Upstairs is open on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights - £4 or £5 entrance fee.
Downstairs
If your awake, it's probably open! If your into traditional bars then try the bar at the front for a pint. Here you can find a more old fashoned bar and this is also where the regulars are.

I have been to the bot a few times now and had an amazing night every time. Music is brilliant although it can get really packed so get down early!

Full of culchies, gone are the days when the Bot was for Belfast folk! Still one of my favourite places in the city, just make sure you're there early if there's somethin on, or you either won't get in at all or will get mangled in the process.
Bouncers are tough, if they don't like the look of ye they'll hit you with any age (20-23's their favourite) they want and if you aren't over that age, you may go to the Eg.
The girls are great tho. Nice Guinness!

FULL and i mean FULL of country folk who arrive in Belfast and just don't know how to control themselves!
Ridiculously crowded to the point of no room to move without banging into someone and spilling drink everywhere.
Wear a rubber shirt you'll end up wearing your drink and unless your a pretty girl or leaning over the bar screaming at the barman you'll wait ages on a drink.
Upstairs one night i knew 3 different people waited up to an hour and forty five mins to get served...and they've a cheek to have an entry fee?!
Only good thing is the doormen are pretty good at their job.

Great place! We go there all the time (and know we're not farmers). It is a great place for students and people who aren't pretentious, but up for a good night out. Great for football and rugby matches. Lots of young professionals too. Live music, and DJ upstairs. If you are looking for a guaranteed good night out go here!

Full of farmers! Club is complete **** and over crowded but the bar is fine! Couldn't spend my whole night there though.

The bot rocks! The best place for a decent night out in Belfast especially for students...and it is not always full of culchies, i'm from Belfast and I always go because the music is fab and the staff are great!

yes, rub shoulders with a culchie! central gathering point for rednex obsessed with havin' alocka pintz and a kee bab or big feeda chipz after hay. and that's just the wimin! farmer o'brown and his fellow yokels are also obsessed with the above, but also wi wimin wi chil'berrin' hipz. avoid like the plague the big groups in football/rugby uniforms; these uniforms seemingly give them a collective licence to piss/vom/defecate where and when they like; probably a hangover from persistent cave-dwelling! apart from that it's a great bar and i'd recommend it to everyone hay...

i totally have to agree with that other review! i went with a group of mates on halloween night to the bot and it was terrible! it was full of drunk violent farmers! bouncers had to break up 4 fights before the end of the night! a girl dressed as a human form of candyfloss (why?) attacked my playboy bunny friend with her layers of pink net stuff! now bunny (nichola) is usually not a violent or aggressive person but on this occassion she was driven wild with frustration at this human candyfloss thing. before i could stop bunny she had removed my hardhat which i was wearing as part of my costume as boobs the builder (not bob). she had swiftly headbutted candyfloss and shortly after we had to leave the premises quite quickly.
all in all a night to remember!
big shout out to gerard the bouncer...yo!
