Probably the best queer place in Belfast! Free entry, amazing atmosphere and drag shows, decent drinks and activities.

Belfast visitor here. International. Wanted to find a LGBT place to have a drink, stumbled into this establishment. Mostly women, which is fine, and a drag show/karaoke/lip synch going on. They have speciality cocktails. I ordered a Bounty Hunter and OMG, it was delicious! I wish I had stayed for another drink but I wanted to check out another place across the street, which I totally regret doing (see my other review). I definitely loved the cocktail here, including the wonderful cup it came in.

On a recent visit to Belfast with some mates, we went in for a fairly quiet Monday evening drink. Nice decor and good array of seating with a pool table in the back. Went back with a smaller group of us later on and it was a blast. Hosted by Pure Bent, there was a round of table "introductions" in which the host broke the ice and made even us 3 straight english folk feel welcome! Followed by a music quiz with some audience members up on stage. Later on we had drag cabaret including the host himself which were an array of lip synced performances. The performers certainly don't skimp on outfits and I have a newfound respect as it must take ages to get ready! It also included a performance by an absolutely stunning dancer/fire eater. All in all, an enjoyable night, would recommend.

Amazing Staff and has the best drag shows, it's always a great atmosphere. Security is always friendly and help in any way they can, especially Kelly who is always attentive and making sure everything is alright. The bar staff are also amazing and try to serve you as fast as they can.

I’m an English gay man , been living in Belfast for 3 years . Was so totally disgusted tonight , got turned away from this place tonight that I’ve been going to numerous times , reason for being turned away tonight was I was drunk !!!!!! I’ve actually had two beers before , all I can say is the person on door aka Jake , needs to understand and acknowledge , also be trained on the licencesing laws , never coming back ,
