The Thirsty Goat Belfast — Restaurant in Town Parks

My advice to you is check your drinks BEFORE lifting from the bar. As the bar is extremely busy and cramped I passed drinks I had ordered back to a friend. Not a minute later whilst I was waiting on my change from paying, she handed them back to me saying they were only water! I'm not a person to cause a scene so I politely told the busy barman. He wasn't very helpful, so I again, politely requested the manager. He turned about without speaking and I waited a few minutes for the manager. His demeanor was very sharp and condescending, but to be fair, it was 3 deep or more at the bar, so he was more than likely under pressure. But his behaviour was totally unprofessional to the extent of being argumentative and down right rude. A few people commented this to me after the event, asking if I was okay. I just wanted the issue resolved without causing unwanted hassle. I have to admit the other staff members were lovely, perhaps Chris needs to take a leaf from their book on manners and customer care, for which he most certainly could avail from a refresher course As I was in tears by this man's actions I passed money to my friend to buy replacements. Unfortunately this marred a lovely evening out with friends and my...

I never actually wanted to write this review because I always loved this place. I come to Belfast a lot with friends and for work and it was my regular spot. Two years ago (July 2021) I took some friends with me and we went for a night out. The bouncer said the outside area was full and there was no point waiting and we should go somewhere else. 30 seconds later a group of three girls just like us walked up and he told them to wait one minute and they’d have a table. I guess those girls were prettier than us or something. I was pretty surprised because I didn’t think this place was that kind of bar where you can only get in if you’re young and attractive. (We were 27 by the way when this happened) one of my friends is a bigger girl though so she kept apologizing and saying it was her fault. The whole thing was just sad and shouldn’t have happened. I hate to say anything negative but it was just really shocking and I haven’t been back here since. I’m not even sure if that bouncer still works there but someone standing nearby who saw the whole thing said he did that all the time. Either way, I’ll never go back and give them my business...

Fantastic food and amazing atmosphere staff were very friendly phoned 5 mins before we turned up and were seated immediately. We got the chicken stack with colcannon mash and tobacco onions Irish stew and fish and chips between the three of us. With drinks the entire bill came to just under £70 but the food was absolutely phenomenal.

The chicken and mash was an absolute delight the chicken was moist and flavourful I normally heavily season my food however I didn’t need any on it was perfect. The Irish stew was so hearty and full of flavour comes with two slices of bread plenty of vegetables in it and gravy, what a treat!

The fish and chips was so crispy and flakey chips had a nice crunch and fluffy on the inside and the fish it’s self was crisp moist and Lilly white inside cooked to perfection.

Drinks where reasonably priced we also had a traditional Irish coffee which was an experience in and...
