started revisiting the emeraldroadhouse as it is known now, and i love it.

Like any place one goes too, someone will always find some fault at some stage.

You also have to take into consideration these days,lack of cash and what bars/restaurants have to do to get customers in the door.

Hard times for everyone - if anyone forgets.

As long as the food and drink is good, what is there to complain about. Over past few months of visiting with family for meals there has never been any complaint from the food,drink or staff whom are totally friendly and really down to earth, at least they will have a conversation with you and always make you feel welcome

Went to the Emerald Roadhouse on saturday 28th January and had a very good nights entertainment, Rod Stewart (aka Mickey Tohill) was excellent very entertaining indeed. The only downside to the evening was that it was cold, both in the large room where the entertainment was taking place and in the toilets, these were b....y freezing this would need to be addressed, that aside I would be happy to make a return visit

the toilets, these were b....y freezing

**** The emerald roadhouse opened on the 5th of march 2010 !!!! any review previous to this should be disregarded, opened under entirely new management and staff, completely refurbished and re invented, you can see the difference on the comments look at the dates on comments !!!

I was in the Emerald for the firt time on Wednesday night with my husband as my daughter was playing the place is fantastic the manager showed me around the different bars, the bar staff were excellant and very friendly, at the astart there were few about but gradually the place filled up and I have to say the customers were very friendly both to me, my husband and my daughter and they kept telling her how good she was which was great for her she really enjoys playing there I hope to be back soon and go for a meal the next time I would definately recomend this bar and I wish the new owners and staff all the best in the future

Submitted by natalie:ex staff on 24th May 2010

I was in the Devenish the other night and it was packed. I would say it was the best night I have had in a long time. Music good talent great. Doorstaff very polite and friendly. Barstaff wearing green bar coats with black collars and I think some of the names were Wooly kevin, Paddy, Jim and Joe.

You just clicked I was dreaming that I was back in the easrly eighties.

I was in the "DEV" at the weekend on a works night out and we had a good night. New dj music was great. They have changed the bouncers too alot of older bouncers on there now sound to talk too and even got us taxis. They are kinna strict on ids only took liceneces and passports no student cards so my mate had to go home and get her licence. Bar staff were fast too no ques at the bar like i used to remember.

Stinkin hole, door staff are bullies, staff are ignorant. That's before we sat down for our food, yuk. Will never be back. Drinks are really overpriced and staff aren't shy on short changing you.

Submitted by Sean on 13th February 2008

its a dirty ole hole staff r cheeky, bouncers r glorified door frames on a power trip. ur only gaurente with the dev is fight outside after throwin out, its the only thing that keeps ppl occupied while w8ing 3 hrs on a taxi 2 get home.

Submitted on 25th January 2008

Prob the best place in West Belfast to see hilarious fights between the bouncers and plastered fellas, I'd recommend the bottom bar just for this. Drinks far too expensive, gd atmosphere in the bar tho. Full of kids, especially in the club. You'll go home with a bustin head afterwards.

Submitted on 6th November 2007

Submitted on 5th July 2007
