The best bring your own beverage (BYOB) restaurants across Belfast have been revealed.
As we all begin to enjoy the reopening of the hospitality sector, there’s still a lot of love out there for bring your own restaurants.
Whether you’re wanting to guarantee having your perfect drink at hand or want to save some money to spend more on dinner, there are some great BYOB restaurants to choose from right across the UK.
Cocktail delivery brand, NIO Cocktails, has analysed all the BYOB restaurants listed on TripAdvisor that have more than 99 reviews, to come up with the highest-rated corkage restaurants to try in twelve of the UK’s major cities, including Belfast.
Here are the top spots to bring your own in Northern Ireland’s capital.
Reggie’s Stone Fired Pizzeria
Foodies are spoilt for choice with establishments offering corkage in and around Belfast.
Reggie's Stone Fired Pizzeria came out in the top spot receiving 5 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor. With dishes priced between £7 - £15 and a BYOB offering, it really does offer great savings as well as fabulous flavours.
The Lantern
The Lantern is a bistro at the heart of Belfast city centre on Wellington Place.
Using high quality Northern Irish ingredients, their menus are varied with the focus on great seasonal produce.
As well as this, it's BYOB with no corkage fee.
Bistro Este
Bistro Este on the Upper Newtownards Road is another of the restaurants listed as BYOB and included in the top 10 list.
Although included in the BYOB list on TripAdvisor, the restaurant is now fully licensed, and so the offer currently doesn't stand.
But this modern bistro with a twist is still a fantastic spot to stop by for lunch or dinner!
The Allotment Bistro Restaurant
The Allotment is founded on the principle of serving food that is home-cooked, good, and simple.
Reviewers mention the great quality food, cheap prices, and fantastic service.
And with it being 'bring your own' as well, there's no reason to miss out!
The Hoose Bistro
This modern European restaurant on the Upper Newtownards Road is Belfast's top-rated 'bring your own' bistro.
Although it has recently become fully-licensed, and so is able to delight with delicious cocktails and drinks lists, it's still a great spot to stop by for some great food at great prices.
Cinnamon
This multi-award winning and long-established Indian restaurant in Dundonald has been tantalizing the taste buds of many for over a decade.
If you stop by on a Sunday-Friday evening, you can enjoy 3 courses for £14.95.
And, even better, they're now offering free corkage on all bring your own drinks.
Nora's Palace
Nora's Palace offers Lebanese food in a casual, relaxing environment on Amelia Street in Belfast.
The restaurant is great value and regularly has discounts on. That, coupled with their 'bring your own' policy, makes this a brilliant option for your next meal out.
Rajput
Rajput on Belfast's Upper Newtownards Road has a great variety of Indian food both for sit in or takeaway.
If sitting in, however, make sure to take advantage of their BYOB , which reviewers said they enjoyed most when part of a big group.
Hope Street Restaurant
Hope Street is a 72-seater restaurant that focuses on seasonal menus centred around local produce.
Nestled on 4-5 Hope Street in the city centre, it's a stone's throw away from the Europa bus station. They offer a range of menus, including a pre-theatre menu, and their corkage price is very reasonable.
Belvedere Cafe
This popular 'bring your own' restaurant is family-friendly and serves wholesome food in a cosy surrounding.
Just three miles away from Belfast city centre on the Cregagh Road in East Belfast, Belvedere is the perfect spot to meet up with family and friends for some dinner and a drink.
