Like Marmite. Dark, stinking, full of nutters off their heads but only place you can get a drink after hours which means they have found their niche in the market. It used to be great back in the day before the network closed down and the spides moved here

Been to Thompsons a few times, out of most of the places I've been I think this is one of the best. It is true what that other person was saying, 'You either hate it or love it'.
The music differs from a range of Electronica, mainly House.
The staff are quite friendly and the prices are fair enough to pay I think. The toilets have proved to be quite disgusting in the past, but for an after hours club its great.
The only thing I can criticise is the place is full of whipe-outs and weirdos but if you dont annoy them they wont annoy you and you can have a swell time, the majority of the people are friendly especially the staff.
I personally really like it because of the music played and I have had good times there.

Thompsons only opens at 11 - head in then with a card for free and get a seat for a while, chill for a bit and have a laugh while the place fills out.
The music's great, the staff do a good job and you're anyone's mate in there.
The toilets are fairly grim, but it's a small price to pay for a good time.
It's a tenner in, which is fair. But get a card and you're in free if you fancy it.
It's one of those places you iether love or hate. But it's definately better than Yello!
Oh, and dress code means no teddy sherman or desert boots. The bouncers weed out most of the spides and are a friendly bunch. Taz is great craic!

Still my favourite club after going there for 5 years. Fab staff and always plenty of eye candy!

Pretty middling place. Completely dead until 12 then packed out. Toilets are the worst I've ever come across in the entire world, tricky holding the door closed with your foot and reaching for the non existant loo roll. Also dance floor seemed to be flooded by the out of commission mens and ruined my shoes!!!! - Sort it out Thompsons!!! Sound system and smoke machine bit rough on the senses. If there were more places open late I'd say they'd be out of business. My advice, if you've a strong bladder and lungs, along with ear plugs and a pair of wellies you're sorted, Thompsons is the place for you!! If not you'll only have a good time if you're too drunk to care! Shame really, wouldn't take much to bring it up a step.

I went to Thompsons for the first time ever and I will NEVER return!! ?10 entry to listen to a load of extra loud rubbish! My ears were ringing for days. The toilets are disgusting and the crowd was dodgy! NEVER AGAIN!

Best club in belfast by far! ok the toilets are dodgy but the dj's make up for that by giving a bangin up-front performance that will never fail to impress!

I also forgot to add. The men's toilets doesn't have a functioning washbasin. How disgusting is that? Basically every man who goes to the loo there all night long isn't washing their hands. If you don't want to catch a disease don't shake hands with anyone in there unless you have rubber gloves on. Yuk!

Thompsons is a bit scuzzy really. The music policy is tired and never leads the way really. The resident dj is regularly billed as playing a "six hour set" but puts on a mix cd and sits in the pub next door until about 12 or so becuase the place is always completely deserted until this time. The place has dirty toilets with no loo roll and a huge queue even whe the club isn't busy. The sound system is well below par and will leave your ears rining for days, I can't believe i used to go to this place regularly. Probably becuase there isn't an awful lot happening in Belfast, though there are quite a few much better clubs than this place now no matter what music you like. Try Milk, Skye or the Stiff Kitten instead.
