The Dirty Onion and Yardbird

Really loved the atmosphere. Massive beer garden and plenty of space inside too. Staff super friendly. Food is pretty good. Had two lots of chicken wings. Dips far from boring standard and both made in house we suspected. Lush!!!

The dirty onion and yard bird and the decor make you think the bar has been there for a hundred years. The location has but as part of the cathedral quarter it has new life and certainly has plenty of atmosphere about it. Well worth a visit and you can have a great night. Sometimes events like whisky tasting and are very enjoyable and informative .

Well worth the trek. Yardbird serves up the best rotisserie chicken on earth, hands down. Fall off the bone delicious. Portions are satisfying, chicken sandwich is also very good. Great selection of ciders, brews and spirits. Best thing we’ve eaten in Belfast.

Very good experience - great to just drop in. Chicken and ribs very good. Combo not what I expected - a lot of ribs with chicken wings under. Thought in past got leg or breast with combo. Anyway still good. Guinness a bit too cold for my liking but a lot of city centre bars now serve it icy cold. Would still recommend if in town and looking for somewhere without a booking. Staff very friendly. Three of us

Waitress explained gluten free options on the menu. Had the loaded fries and, although a little cold for my liking, they were lovely. Great atmosphere too. Toilets lovely 😊

A great quirky and rustic place to eat and drink. The sofa in front of the fire is the best seat in the house. 😃If you can get to it before others. 🔥

This was the first pub that I have ever been to in Belfast, so I'm not sure if it's just the difference in pub culture or just the spot itself, but it's wasn't as inviting as I would have liked it to be. Nice outdoor space, but it's kinda tucked away in the back of an alley that you need to look for to find. I personally would give this place a pass.

Nestled in Belfast's heart lies The Dirty Onion and Yardbird, a blend of historical allure and contemporary spirit. The ambiance is the standout, with The Dirty Onion's rich history enveloping visitors in a warm embrace, enhanced by live music and lively chatter. Yardbird's signature chicken is ordered. While beautifully crispy outside and tender inside, its flavor profile was distinct from the richly seasoned dishes I cherish in Asia. It didn't quite meet my flavor expectations, but it was by no means unpalatable. More likely our taste experiences are shaped by our cultural backgrounds, and while this dish may resonate with many, it was a gentle reminder of my culinary roots. In essence, The Dirty Onion and Yardbird is more than a meal; it's an experience. The chicken may not have met my Asian flavor standards, but the vibrant atmosphere ensures a memorable visit, highlighting the beauty of culinary exploration.
