The Apartment is a trendy, stylish bar right in the centre of Belfast with leather sofas and great views of the city hall.
Open every day of the week until 1am Monday to Saturday and midnight on Sunday playing laid back grooves throughout the week with DJs livening the place up from 10pm on Friday and Saturday.
The Apartment has two large glassy rooms that overlook Donegal Square, one of the the busiest areas of Belfast City.

Was in The Apartment last Saturday with some friends who were up from Portadown and ended up leaving in foul form. A certain wait at the bar is to be expected in a busy place but the Apartment takes it to new heights! I personally stood for 35 minutes at a four deep upstairs bar before walking away in disgust to try the bottom bar which was another wait of 20 minutes before we decided that enough was enough and left to go elsewhere. Everyone in the place seemed to be having the same experience. Why can't a separate bar be kept for cocktails so that the whole place isn't slowed to a crawl while the bar staff slice strawberries and crush leaves into a glass? The Apartment must be losing half it's potential income through this nonsense. I'm very disapointed as I like the Apartment and am a regular patron but if things don't change radically I won't be back and I certainly couldn't recommend it to anyone unless they're tee total!

friendly barstaff, friendly bouncers, although it's very annoying that thety have no cider on tap. Its time people realised that not all cider drinkers are teenage spides standing in the park on a friday night!

Full of posers who need to get a real life. Only go to be seen. Took ages to get served only to discover they had no pernod!! Customer service nil. Music too loud for a conversation. Definitely won't be back.

Totally boring, takes ages to get served and full of poncey wannabies out spending daddies money (male and female!) do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.

Not a bad spot... Seemed to be fairly busy, but not "over packed". Had a Strawberry Margarita after seeing the girl next to me at the bar being served one.. the bar staff we're entertaining and efficient. Service was generally good, but the music was a bit on the loud side for the type of bar that it is... Not easy to have a conversation.
Food being served around us looked and smelled great! But then again... at that point of the evening, i'd have eaten a scabby dog!

Full of prentious wannabes who shop in the replay store and think they are the hight of hind end fashion.
Good if you are a) one of these people and b) nearing 50 and want to reclaim some youth by thinking you are in one of belfast's "Cool bars", though sorry to break it to you, you are not.

Cocktails are fantastic but we weren't too delighted to be told we couldn't sit at any of the tables in the bar until 3.30 unless we were having lunch. We had to perch on bar stools even though there were some empty tables. Not acceptable in a bar which has a separate dining area.

Cocktails are fantastic.....its the apartments only attraction and its saving grace! Best cocktails in Belfast. Great for pr-club drinks. Im rating the cocktails....not the place!!!!!

Rubbish. Utter waste of a good space. Packed with pretentious posers and totally useless and incompetant staff. Visitors to Belfast should avoid like the plague. Most locals (with any taste or sense) already know this is a poxy dive.
I could go on - but might sound like a "ranter". Try it once. If you can get served at all, have one drink and escape.

terrible place, was in last night and the bouncer/ thug was one of the rudest men i have ever had the misfortune to meet. stood over us and tried to intimidate us into leaving. when this didnt work he stuck his fingers into my friends drink as she was taking a sip and told us to get out (this was at 1.15, so much for half an hours drinking up time)we wwere 4 girls and one guy who were not even that drunk. also food is poor and service is not much better

Wanted to come here for something to eat last Friday night for my hen night. My mate called in advance to book a table, as soon as she mentioned it was a hen party she was refused!!!
What is Belfast coming to that a group of 7 girls cant go somewhere for something to eat... It wasnt the only place refused us!!!

Great for a spot of lunch and cocktail after a hard afternoons shopping with the girlies. Great service and a buzzing atmosphere.

rubbish rubbish rubbish. How many fake goods can you spot in one bar. The PSNI should raid this place for counterfeit goods. Cocktails are quite good when you get served. Well past its sell by date.

The cocktails made the trip to The Apartment worth it and the atmosphere was great, but there was nothing really special about the food.
