Margot

You'll find Margot tucked into one of Belfast's most recognisable addresses, right on Donegall Square East where the city's old money still walks past. Step inside and you're in proper cocktail bar territory—the kind of place where your bartender actually cares about technique, not just pouring spirit into a glass and calling it a day. The space feels grown-up without being stuffy; think dark wood, considered lighting, and the sort of hum you get when people are genuinely enjoying themselves. The drinks list reads like someone actually thought about it, and at around £9-12 per cocktail, it won't leave you skint. It's become a reliable spot for when you want something better than the usual city centre noise.
