About Amelia Hall
Amelia Hall is a St. George's Market cocktail bar and restaurant that has earned a 4.6-star rating across 1,051 reviews—88% five-star—by balancing upscale craft drinks with casual, cozy dining. The menu centres on wood-fired pizzas with generous portions, complemented by a curated wine list and standout cocktails that draw both locals and tourists. Service emerges as a defining strength: staff are consistently described as friendly, well-trained, and attentive, with named servers like Callum and Raven earning repeated praise for hospitality that makes diners feel genuinely welcome. The venue itself—naturally lit, beautifully decorated, and wheelchair-accessible throughout—creates a Soho-like atmosphere in the heart of Belfast. Live music and performances add energy to the space, while the kitchen's arancini and garlic bread are noted for quality and care. Reservations are essential; the venue fills quickly, especially mid-week and around special occasions, with staff accommodating walk-ins at the bar when tables are full. Dogs are welcome, and the venue is explicitly affirmed as LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safespace.
Amelia Hall has a dual personality — intimate and romantic enough for a quiet dinner, with live music meaning evenings can take on a different energy entirely.
