The Empire

The Empire Music Hall is a live music venue in a busy area of Belfast. The Empire,which was once a church is located beside Botanic Railway station.

The bottom bar serves great value food and, at night, becomes a hive of activity for beer connoisseurs. During universtity term time (September - June), Belfast\'s longest running comedy club attracts top acts attempting to win over one of the toughest audiences on the circuit.

You can also find a range of other live acts at the Empire, so check the website for a list of upcomming dates.

The bar downstairs is a good spot for a quite pint during the day and you can catch the next train home!

The door staff have a major attitude problem. Can't even smoke OUTSIDE,have to go down the steps to the main street and get bothered by down and outs looking for cash. Best to go to Bar 12 the bouncers are a lot more customer orientated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean about the doormen. it seems they just do a bit of eenie meenie, and if they think you're gonna buy a lot of drink, you're in.

I like the jazz nights a lot, there's a touch of class

Somebody asked if it's really haunted. I'm not sure but there are some spooktacular bands play there on frightday nights. You can start off with a bit of grub downstairs first. They do a mean ghoulash and you can finish with Iscream before going upstairs. The doormen are a bit spooky. One acts the hard man but you can see right through him.
