Food Scene
It's casual dining and very reasonable pricing. Also a BYO (Bring Your Own drinks) so the pizze goes well with a glass of red wine! Try the 'Ferris Wheel' pizza!

Off the beaten track and makes you forget you're in a city with the peace and quiet. Park beside the rugby/hockey pitches and walk 2 minutes or park at Cutters Wharf Stranmillis and walk 2.5 kms along the towpath! Great cycle/walk/run!

Love them or hate we have Starbucks! However, there are 2/3 other coffee shops in this exact area so there's plenty of choice. I'd say I can walk here in 10 minutes when I need to cure my coffee habit. Go here to chill, people watch and kid friendly.

Small supermarket and garage. However, it's only a short walk and has everything from hot food counter, fresh coffee, groceries, fuel and even ice cream counter! Well worth the short walk!

Drinks & Nightlife
One of our favourite bars in the area. Slightly up-market but has good crowd of young professionals and parents sneaking out for a cocktail! We'd happlily walk here in 15 minutes and then I'll have a Sierra Nevada beer!

This was our bar of choice during uni! If you want a real pub atmosphere then this is a good bet. Great for sports or a quite pint of Guinness in the front bar (also known as the old man's bar!). Also serves pub grub, and the Malone road bus will take you straight here.
