Booked here for a meal on a Thursday night. When we arrived nobody greeted us at the door so we had to make our way up to the bar and told them we had booked a table for two. They told us our table was not ready yet and would be another minute even tho we had booked two hours before and nobody else was in eating food. We ordered a drink and after 15 minutes we were shown our table. It was dirty and for only two people we were placed at a large table seating 8 people. I decided I didn't want to eat here after the appalling service and the cleanliness I didn't want to spend my night here. I went down and told the bar man I wouldn't be eating here but I would still take my drink since he alread...
They used to sell 6 shots for £6 here which was an absolute star when you were walking from Elms to the Union on a Monday night the toilet break while you were here was fab too! The 6 shots were cactus jacks kind of shots but for that price you couldn't complain! Apart from that, the Eg does really awesome burgers. I've ate here a few times for lunch and been impressed every time. At night they also used to hold a monthly quiz about a certain topic (The Walking Dead, 2015, Lord of the Rings etc) which was awesome. You had the chance to win £300 or something runners up got food/drink vouchers and they sold raffle tickets for a chance to win the £300 by picking a box on the screen. I believe t...
I was staying in the Wellington across the road, and having eaten in the other places around this area I thought id give this one a go as well. I went in and it didn't seem to busy, I got a table ok and ordered the 3 small plates for £10, consisting of Pouteen, Chicken wings, the pouteen was some of the finest iv had, the wings were ok pretty average, the only problem was the place was very loud, there was some football match on, and I must say I m pretty sure iv been to football matches that have been quitter, I don't think I would go back.
My word this bar is great. It was once a predominantly student bar with cheap and cheerful offerings for the penny pinching academics but now it 's so much more. Yes the shot ladder is still there and yes it still serves £5 student lunches but now it also has one of the most comprehensive drinks selection that I have seen in the city and their handcrafted cocktails are awfully good. That 's not to mention quality of the food offering with my personal favourite being the Bloody Mary Barboca . If you haven 't been then you simply must go!

Called in at the weekend to watch Norn Iron in the Euro 's. Had reserved seating in the comfy seats, large screens with good beer and food. Had the wings, El Jefe sandwich and fries. Substantial and reasonably priced. Enjoyed my visit and service was good.Place is very busy at weekends and a 'local ' for the Uni. Not fine dining and not a place to enjoy a quiet night but for a pint and some grub.... not bad.
My parents live in Belfast but, not being local, it can be hard to find somewhere for drinks that isn't too studenty or intimidating.The Eglantine was welcoming and offered a great selection of drinks. Tasty beers and cocktails made with a huge amount of care and attention. Went on a midweek evening and there was a good atmosphere but not too loud to sit and chat. Totally recommend!!
Called in here for a few drinks last weekend. The decor has greatly changed since my days as a student. Friendly bar staff who recommended a lovely gin fizz cocktail. So good I had to have a second one. Pretty quiet for a weekend in the run up to Xmas, but I guess most people go out in the city centre these days.
Used this bar to avoid hotel food and was very impressed. They had a good menu which we all enjoyed, plus deals on cocktails. The cocktails were great, mixed properly and a good variety, On a Saturday night the bar was quite quiet thought steady, a good alternative to the very loud Botanic Inn over the road.

Great bar, very modern and popular with people of all ages, great music and sport is shown. The food is excellent and has a modern edge to it. If you're in the area it's worth a visit
