Night life is OK, you can't say you've done Belfast til you been chucked out of Mynt or the other gay bar (I forget the name)

Oh really...

Pointing and laughing at the Twaddell camp dwellers is a possibility, have a car on standby with the engine running.

Belfasts alright . Everyone is weirdly friendly considering all the bad ideas you will have in your head about the place

All I've ever don't there is get drunk though.

if you do the black cab tour you need to do it twice, once for the brit area one for the republic area, it is good tho

Shicky · 14 Oct 2013 at 21:18

what day/date do you arrive? What age are you and the missus?

Kristoph · 14 Oct 2013 at 21:22

Thanks btone, looking through the gigs and shows right now.

I arrive 29th October, leave 2nd of November, we're both mid-twenties and enjoy a good show or production, she loves her theatre, I'm up for anything

Looking at some of the things at the Cabaret Supper Club - meal and show plus table for the night doesn't sound bad?

Cafe Vaudeville is a good place to cap the weekend with a meal, drinks and then a bit of a boogie

have a bash.

Nice bars in the Cathedral quarter. Duke of York and John Hewitt have live music on certain evenings. Google it to check when. There are plenty of good restaurants in the vicinity. Head up towards St. Anne's Square and the Mac Theatre a minute's walk away. Don't stress about dining alone. Bring that book!

ok it about as far away from belfast as u you will get in NI, but if you here for those dates i would say nip up to derry/londonderry for halloween

Kristoph · 14 Oct 2013 at 21:37

No transport and limited to evenings in and around Belfast unfortunately. But I'm guessing you suggested it for this? http://www.cityofculture2013.com/event/banks-of-the-foyle-halloween-carnival/

I would if I had my car!

Btone · 14 Oct 2013 at 21:44

translink is our public transport
the bus is quicker but the train gives you better views

Don't know why everyone's ****ging off Belfast. Took the Mrs there for a weekend and we had a nice time.

Definitely get the bus tour, also recommend the cathederal quarter but the best thing we visited was the Crumlin road Gaol. Great little tour, very interesting, have a nice time
