Girlie Weekend in Belfast!

Hi,

I am organising a girlie weekend from November 15th to 17th in Belfast.

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify what the best pubs, restaurants etc are that would be to go to on a Friday and Saturday night and if there is any event on during that time that would be worth checking out.

I am aware that the Christmas market starts on the Saturday. Is this any good?

Thank you in advance for your help.

pow wow

Christmas market is amazing, not so much for the shopping but for the atmosphere. There are food/beer tents etc. so yo can socialise in it aswell and checking out the stalls for bits and pieces.

What age range are your group?

Thank you for your response. The Christmas market sounds brilliant!

We are all in our late 20's

there is loads to eat in the market, but if you are looking for a good restaurant, Ginger is SUPERB!

Quite a few popular and busy restaurants around St Anne's square and the Mac. Great atmosphere round there of an evening nowadays.

Long time out of Belfast, but get yourselves to Robinsons bar, opposite the Europa Hotel, head left out the front door when you wanna move on.

all a bit alternative maybe
other notables that i think you would like that are more trendy.
21 social
the apartment
cafe vaudaville
duke of york
john hewitt
the whig
the spaniard
lilys
ollies
rbg grill
i think the best thing is if you pick an area and stick to it.
most of the above are all within walking distance to each other.
as for clubs ......
i haven't a clue as ive never been to one!!!
well apart from the old dingy techno ones
but simple rule
the gay bars are the best and stay open very late but are maybe a bit full on.
they would be MYNT and THE KREMLIN
two more that have progressed from the hardhouse to more of a dance and r&b scene would be
THOMPSONS
and
STIFF KITTEN ( it might be a contender depending on whats on , they used to run the world famous shine club back in the day)
maybe the likes of
http://www.monobelfast.co.uk/
maybe the above suit all late on and any hardcore could head to MYNT or the KREMLIN after?
i think the clubs get busy around 11/12 and close around 3 , the other ones to 5/6.
i hope thats enough for now as a generalisation.
let me know any more specific information for any of the above venues or anything else.
also worth noting the city airport is handiest , maybe a tenner in a taxi.
the international airport is miles away and maybe £30.
