Orisha Belfast

You know, when I popped into Orisha Belfast, I have to say it really hit the spot for a proper cocktail experience. The drinks are just fantastic; they're freshly crafted with a good measure of spirit, and the team there can mix up whatever you're in the mood for, like that rum-based espresso martini that one chap raved about. It's clear from the buzz around the place that folks love the friendly staff – they're always up for a chat and make you feel right at ease, which is just what you want after a long day. The atmosphere is spot on too, all cosy and relaxed, even if it's not the biggest spot in Belfast, so it's great for a quiet drink or catching up with mates. On the flip side, if you're more of a beer person, you might find the selection a tad limited with only a couple of drafts on offer, and being walk-ins only, it can be a bit of a gamble getting in on a busy evening. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for cocktail enthusiasts, with that high rating speaking volumes about what they do well – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in the area, but maybe plan around the crowds for the best experience.
