The Pavilion is a long established pub and entertainment venue at 296–298 Ormeau Road in Belfast. Open since 1996, it occupies three floors and combines everyday food and drinks with the lively programme of a neighbourhood social venue.
Its food menu covers familiar pub choices and plates suited to sharing, including soup, wings, nachos, salads and falafel. Burgers and pizza sit alongside fuller dishes such as fish, chicken, lasagne, salmon and steak, giving groups a broad range of options.
Vegetarian and vegan choices are available, while side dishes and desserts make it easy to shape either a quick bite or a complete meal. Food is served daily, allowing the kitchen to support daytime visits as well as evenings built around a show or gathering.
Live music, comedy, community cinema, pool and other events are central to The Pavilion’s identity. That mix of entertainment, drinks and substantial food makes it useful both as a local pub and as a destination for a full night out on the Ormeau Road.
Address: 296–298 Ormeau Road, Belfast BT7 2GB, Northern Ireland
