Its bar offers a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere, with plush seating, warm lighting, and an extensive selection of drinks.

The cocktail menu is carefully curated, featuring both classic favourites and locally inspired creations. Whiskey lovers will appreciate the impressive collection of Irish and international spirits. Whether you're enjoying a quiet drink, catching up with friends, or soaking in the hotel's storied past, the Europa Hotel Bar delivers an experience that is as rich as its history. With impeccable service and a prime city-centre location, it’s a top choice for both locals and visitors.

Have enjoyed the Lobby bar since the bad days of bombings

I love the Europa, especially the Piano Bar upstairs. OK, so the drink is a wee bit on the pricey side, but the relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere, which paradoxically remains unpretentious, more than makes up for it. The staff are not just incredibly polite, but they are friendly, warm and chatty. They quickly get to know your face, and even set us up a table when the place was bunged one night. I even enjoy the odd bit of banter with the guy responsible, and quite often as he sees me comes in, he knows to start pulling a pint of the black stuff!



Because the Europa is used for weddings and functions on Saturdays quite a bit, this night of the week can occasionally be a little loud in the Piano bar, but it's still much more acceptable than most bars in Belfast if you're just looking for a drink and a chat. It's also brilliant post-work on Friday for knocking back a few relaxing ones, as it is one of the few venues in the centre of the city that is not absolutely bunged to capacity.



Obviously, its central location is another plus point. The only negative thing of which I can think is the expense (?3 pint of Guinness, ?2.70 pint of Tennants), but to be honest, most city centre venues aren't far behind it anyway.
