liked hot n steamy dancefloor and interior. music gud but 20 minutes to get served at a tiny bar? forget about it. barstaff too slow and not very "upbeat" or customer focused....have had much better service at similar venues in liverpool and manchester. belfast still needs to get its act together with regards to good bar staff. pity.

Always has to go one better than everywhere else. 2 pound to leave your coat in the cloakroom is a bit OTT!

An excellent night out in ollies last friday, took about 5 mins to get served at the bar but hey its a busy club....so to be expected. Great atmosphere, great music and pleasent staff who are willig to have a laugh and not take themselves too seriosly, unlike some of the clientele!! Strict dress code and scary loooking door staff! Otherwise a fabulous night had by all!!!
Submitted on 16/03/2008
Seriously....employ decent door staff!!! The girl taking the £'s at the door is rude, some of the door staff obnoxious....the lovely female staff in the Grande Dame bar were more than lovely...and very hot i might add!!!! Good night had by all all the same!!!!

A gorgeous bar with a friendly atmosphere, however it seems the only way to avoid queing for a drink for 45 mins is to know a member of the bar staff or be a regular. Its been my worst experience of going to the bar in 10 years.
Submitted by Emma on 20/01/2008
overpriced, run of the mill music, clostraphobics beware.
Not a particularly good value for money club. A lot of the usual pretentious wannabies from Belfast (EAs, 2nd rate Models, and hair dressers). Drinks over priced.
Its startin to get a bit rowdy now theres less people going (saw a few fights). Theres better craic to be had in Belfast than this.
Suits the credit card, "New Belfast" crowd though.

Apparently, i was too drunk to get in...
Despite the fact that a group of staggering women holding eachother off the floor got in about 30 seconds before that.
Bit silly.. i was 100% but the doormen wouldnt see reason. Maybe if i had a miniskirt on and a pair of tits i'd have been alright yeah?!
Submitted by Tomski on 21/12/2007
Went to Ollies for my first time on saturday nite. £10 in is a downside as are the quite expensive drinks. Russian vodka and no smirnoff ice........what's that about? Brilliant music, good atmosphere, not over crowded and everyone seemed to be having a good nite. Would definetly go back! Had a great nite!
Submitted on 09/12/2007
Stayed in the merchant hotel, and decided to go in for a look. Bouncers led us straight in the door past the q once they knew we were staying in the hotel, which was brilliant! Went to pay to find out it was free for hotel guests...happy days!!! Club is brilliant, not too big so it means it doesnt get too crowded, gud selection of music, wee bit pricey, but friendly staff! Have been back few times since and love it everytime!

just read through all the comments and im surprised at how many negative comments there are! I really enjoy it! I do however agree with people sayin its a bit expensive and staff can be a bit cheeky at times, but on the whole i think its a great place for 23 year olds and over and i love the music.

was there last night for first time and i had a blast. the music was great, service was good and crowd was friendly. only downside is the £10 admission charge.

To Siobhan D
"to be served by a ignornant member of bar staff because I asked her to give me Snirnoff not cheap crap vodka"
You will find that Ollies house vodka is Stoli. This is a premium russian vodka and is of a much purer and higher quality that Smirnoff. Ask any expert bar tender and they will tell you the same.
Of course it is customer preference but Ollies does aim to provide it's customers with a better quality selection of drinks than most nightclubs across Belfast.
The rest of your comments are you own opinion but I felt the need to clairfy that Stoli is not a 'cheap' or 'crap' vodka.

Bring back Laura the hot hostess!! Absolutely stunning

Ollies as a venue is quite plush, with velvet drapes and nice, comfortable seating. The music is cheesey, with mainly 1990s dance chart songs, not very original. Drinks as already stated are expensive, £3.20 for a pint of Carlsberg and £3.30 for a bottle of Bud, it can also take ages to get served at the small crowded bar.
I agree with one of the last posters about the attitude of some of the clientele, who can be extremely rude. The guy who removed and nearly broke my glasses as a joke was very lucky that he didn't have a £200 bill to pay for a replacement pair. Yery funny!
Submitted on 18/09/2007
Went to Ollies on Sat 15th Septemner.Definately not worth 10 in, felt like a complete mug handing it over.Que for the bar spilled on to the dance floor, I think I waited for about half an hour to pay for a very expensive drink and to be served by a ignornant member of bar staff because I asked her to give me Snirnoff not cheap crap vodka.
Music was ok as it brought me back to my youth, Kellys, The Helmsman etc
So dark I couod hardly see anyone. If it wasn't for the good company I was with i would have left and gone home!

What a class facade. Belfast has gone wrong. This isn't just a in terms of taste. It would be easy enough to post an opinion here based on the type of people, or music I like, so this is an unbiased opinion.
Decor and music aside I felt that the people who frequent this place were totally ignorant and unpolite. I've been to alot of clubs and bars and I mean alot, highclass, all the dives etc. I have to say that in my experience the more decorative a place tries to look the greater the attraction for total dunderbrains and ignoramus's.
Sorry but this place sucks, bug time.
Submitted by Shane on 03/09/2007
What a joke this place is. Another failed attempt at trying to produce a night club. The bouncers are a joke, which to be honest is expected in Belfast.The music is laughable at best and the crowd is full of pretentious tasteless wanabees.Is it just me or does every bar/club in Belfast plays the same annoying funky vocal dribble?It would be nice to have a little bit of variety with music, with DJ’s that have knowledge about music (not just one crappy genre). After all this is what a club is supposed to be about. MUSIC!!!!!!My advice is to give this place a wide birth

Submitted on 27/07/2007
I was at Ollies one Saturday and must say I had a horrendous night! We were in the so called private members lounge which was full of sleazy old men with plenty of money and no manners. They were being served by girls which in my mind are nothing short of Belfast Millies! One of them was slow in serving us our drinks and when she did she got the order wrong.Anyhow, the music was awful....cheese like my younger brother would listen to when he goes to the beach club and I would not reccommend it to anyone!!!!!!!!!!! GO TO THE POTT HOUSE ANYDAY!!!!!

have to disagree with easter monday..jay kay plays his own so called remixes which are quite poor. the resident plays the same cheesey house set every saturday night. u could write down on a piece of paper the tunes he is goin to play from 11-1
dont go here
Submitted by danny on 25/04/2007
Hey mate, gotta disagree with ya. Was in Ollie's on Easter Monday and had the best night ever. Jay Kay played a blinding set along with a live percussionist. The place rocked...brilliant atmosphere, loads of good looking stylish women and to be honest thought the bar staff were very quick considering how busy it was....yeah there is a bit of a wait at the bar but its only to be expected with any busy nightclub. Best night i've had out in a while and will be returning this week to check out the talent!!!

Where did all the hospitality go in the hospitality industry?
I've been to Ollie's twice now, and I feel nothing but disappointment and shame that this is one of Belfasts, let alone Northern Irelands, "premier clubs"!
I worked in a few bars, and some nice hotels myself when I was a student (only a couple of years ago), so I can truely say I know what it's like to be on both sides of the bar. Anytime I ever served someone, I and my colleagues, at that time, offered customers respect, efficiency, and where possible a bit of humour (if not for good manners, it was a great way to rake in tips!!), but in Ollies the bar staff seem to take great pride in being rude, and very pretentious. This fact is somewhat frustrating when you have waited for 20 minutes to get served in what I can only describe as an incredibly poorly designed bar area (where everyone is pushed into a bottle neck in one room).
Of course, it wouldn't be the complete Ollie's experience if you hadn't been (as pointed out by others on this forum), heavily scrutinised by the door staff, forked out ?10 to get in, listened to the below average music (in my view), and pay exorbitant prices for the drinks. Oh... and don't be suprised by a bit of over charging here and there... obviously to make up for the lack of tips being offered to staff by the hacked-off customers.
From what I know of the manager, or should I say the Godfather, who insidently is the owners son (so no actual bar/ bar management experience required), the attitudes towards you as an individual and as a customer comes from the top.
As I said, I have been twice to Ollie's, but in future I'll know once bitten twice shy!! (If only my cliche laden chat up lines were as good)
Go anywhere but here!!!

just another one of belfasts great 'attempts' at a nite club.. have been several times in the endless pursuit of findin somwhere to go ..fruitless though cos belfast is rubbish and has no discernible nightlife to rate.. anyone who hasnt got in for any reason can experience the bliss of their ignorance.. anyone who thinks this place is 'exclusive' is hallucinating!(these clowns really need to look in the mirror and slap their silly little heads - and get out of belfast more) fact is.. ollies is just more of the same old crap! its just no good.. music is not good.. crowd is not good.. bar service is not good.. just count yourself lucky that if you never go again you wont get accosted by has been's, never were's or wannabe's ..or get chatted up by your mum's mate ha ha

Why oh why are bouncers such tossers? And why do these clubs keep on hiring them?

Ah whatever! Bad door policy!

Went to Ollie's last Friday night and had a cracking night. The music was a complete mixture from dance to r&b, rock and pop. It worked really well. class atmosphere - plus we got a free cocktail on arrival. Definitely 5 star service in 5 star club.

Ollies nighclub is one of unadulterated elegance and sophistication, its classy nature simply cannot be disputed. All those condemning it to the depths of pretentiousness and self posture need to realise its patrons are individuals who work hard, play hard! Was there at the weekend and cannot praise the staff more, bar, door etc, dealt with a stunning brunette hostess who was simply adorable and clearly intellectual, a far cry from the ?Robert Palmer girls? description!

Ollies is excellent just what Belfast needs.

this place is vaguely reminiscent of the knightsbridge in newtownards. anyone remember it? it too revelled in mediocrity and attempted to rise above its station - another pretentious dive.
?10 in, which is 50p for every minute you get to wait to be served at the bar... (that's 20mins for all you who are under 22yrs). whilst any and every girl with a cupsize bigger than 30a gets served afore ye, irrespective of how long or short she's been waiting! and the drink's tepid... whoever thought to have the waitresses try to look like the robert palmer girls? it's like vicky pollard dressing up as diana. yet another bar boasting miniature toilets.
as above, takes forever to get served, can't have conversation because of the excessively loud 'music' - (save it readers, i'm not too old; call me old-fashioned and romantic, but i just like to have a little conversation the next morning) - which reflects society perfectly, all presentation and no substance. has to be said there's also a discernible gay atmosphere on certain nights. good to see people are happy.
on a general note, could someone define a 'superb doorman' please? is it one who doesn't growl at you/assault you/bar you from the premises, or is it someone who just occasionally acts like a member of the human race? things are bad when we have to remark upon a merely satisfactory performance; just shows you what a bunch of cave-dwellers most doormen are.
finally... exclusive? how so if i can get in? as grouch famously said, "i wouldn't want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member."

For once a city centre venue worthy to carry the tag 'nightclub'. The crowd was civilised and not a teenybopper in sight, thank god. Decor is a little unimaginative, but does have that intimate feel (very dark). Bar service was great, but the bar tab is exorbitant even if you do have a trust fund! Another major negative are the obnoxious bouncers, judging by the blood on their knuckles they had obviously only learned to walk upright that morning. To sum up, a worthy venue of the moment, but hardly groundbreaking!

Don't waste your time going to this club. The bouncers' attitudes stinks and they think they are doing you a favour by letting you in to this club. I hate this place and it has put me off going out in Belfast ever again as the attitude by all of the bouncers in Belfast is so unecessary. The management team at the Merchant should consider their staff than considering their profits every week. This new "Prestige Venue" will not last as paying customers do not not want to be treated disrespectfully.

Submitted by Joan on 23/09/2006
I love Ollie's Sunday club in particular. Why? They actually play *real* music, decent stuff like Queen, Elvis etc, that has actually stood the test of time and is liked by nearly all (whether they admit it or not). Enthusiastic, lively band playing this good music. None of this R n B or dance rubbish that takes half an hour's manipulation of computer software. They might have that on other nights, I don't know, but Sundays are brilliant. If you have the next day off, of course!

Deeply disappointed with this club. So much hype was given once it first opened and it was claimed the "place to be". On my first apperence I found the place was packed to the brim with "check me outs" and wanna be's posing at the bar with mummy and daddys cheque book, rather pathetic but also a tad comical. I'd rather spend my sat nite in the potthouse or la lea as dancing around pretentious gits just aint my scene. And as for the "size of me" doormen (what is their purpose again?) i find a joke. Standing in a mile long que to finally reach the front and get harassed by a "doorman" just isn't my idea of an ideal nite in Belfast. But thats my opinion. The only thing about this club I like is the music. Dont get me wrong the club is beautiful and DJ's are tremendous, which definately deserves a 10/10 for effort, but the doormen and bar staff are nothing short of obnoxious!!

went to ollies last week and think its def a pleasant addition to belfasts tired club scene.
cracking layout of a club dedicated to the over 20's crowd with enough of the 'beautiful people' to go around. funky music and some visual effects thrown in. staff great and although drink a tad expensive its worth it.

I CAN HONESTLY SAY OLLIE'S IS THE BEST NIGHT CLUB IN BELFAST. FANTASTIC MUSIC, GOOD SERVICE AT THE BAR AND STUNNING WOMEN. ITS THE ONLY NIGHT CLUB THAT HAS IT ALL
Submitted on 18/07/2006
I can honestly say that I will never be returning to this venue - it is one thing to aim for a higher brand of customer with high admission prices and expensive drinks, but quite another to feel justified being rude to paying customers; at the very start of the night myself, wife and friends had our evening completely spoiled by the 'hostess' with the doormen (who's actual role i'm unsure of), who managed to treat almost every person in the queue with rudeness and a patronising, disdainful attitude that was nothing short of abhorrent. Belfast is a beautiful city, with some excellent bars, and I am proud to say that we are famous the world over for hearty welcomes and good nights out. Ollie's, under no stretch of the imagination, falls within these paramaters. Avoid at all costs.

Ollies nightclub is amazing, exactly what Belfast needs! A little expensive but aims to attact that kind of clientele, if you have money its the place for you! abosolutly electric atmosphere on saturday night..when i was there it was a full house and a huge cue outside who were turned away! plays house/funky house music so cool! defintely worth going
