Horatio Todd’s Bar & Restaurant is a lively dining and social venue at 406 Upper Newtownards Road in Ballyhackamore. It takes its name from the East Belfast pharmacist and businessman Horatio Todd, whose story and original pharmacy artefacts contribute to the identity of the room. The contemporary setting works for a meal, drinks at the bar or an evening of entertainment.
Head chef Stuart Archibald’s menu brings together modern dishes and familiar favourites. Chargrilled burgers, battered haddock and rump steak sit beside fritto misto, tiger prawn tostadas and halloumi with watermelon. Asian influenced plates and seafood give the selection more range than a standard pub menu, while Sunday roasts provide a traditional weekend option.
Separate vegan and vegetarian choices are designed as part of the menu rather than simple omissions from meat dishes. This makes the restaurant practical for mixed groups, whether they are meeting for lunch, dinner or a celebration. Diners with allergies should still consult the latest menu and discuss their needs with staff before ordering.
Wine, cocktails and house mixed drinks support the food, and the venue schedules quizzes, live music and weekend DJs. Restaurant tables can be booked for food and drink, while the bar and beer garden operate more casually. Horatio Todd’s combines a broad modern menu with the atmosphere of an established neighbourhood gathering place.
