Things To Do For Couples In Belfast

Channel your inner explorers and get a couple of tickets to the Belfast City Walking Adventure & Interactive Treasure Hunt. Explore the streets of the city, through the Cathedral Quarter and along the River Lagan, solving puzzles and learning rich, historical facts along the way. So, put on your walking shoes and maybe even stop off for a cheeky pint throughout your route.  

Avoid the date night faff of cooking at home and head along to The Crown Liquor Saloon. This laid-back boozer offers couples a cosy space that's perfect for delving into hearty bites with an ice-cold pint in hand. Our choices? The mac 'n' cheese with garlic ciabatta and sticky toffee pudding.

Fronting the perfect backdrop with dim lighting and botanical-inspired features, The Tipsy Bird is one of our favourite romantic gems and offers plenty for date night. Throughout the week you'll often find live music, then a drag brunch come the weekend. Make gooey eyes over a fabulous range of bespoke (and naughty) concoctions, including a whiskey-laced Raunchy Robin.

On the hunt for fun date ideas in Belfast? YO! Victoria Square is sure to impress. Take a seat with your other half and choose between a delicious range of Japanese favourites, from sushi rolls to ramen bowls, which are delivered straight to your table on a keiten belt.

If the flirty, floral interior of AMPM isn't enough to dazzle your date, then the exquisite cocktails and globally inspired menu will do the trick. Snap some pics of your hot hun against the backdrop of this aesthetically pleasing restaurant and enjoy herb-crusted salmon, a curried cauliflower burger, or even pay a visit for afternoon tea. 

Is there anything more romantic than 1930s New York-style glitz and glamour? Nope. Inside Bert's Jazz Bar there are plenty of fun things to do in Northern Ireland for couples. From live music to French plates like squash en croute or beef bourguignon, plus bespoke cocktails such as the vodka-based Joan Collins, this venue is guaranteed to woo your boo.

For indoor date ideas in Belfast, Bullhouse has got you covered. Inside this cool boozer, you'll be able to try out a range of hoppy brews from 20 taps or the fridge, followed by a scrumptious wood-fired pizza. If you're looking for something a little different, head to a tasting masterclass.

Rita's promises to set one hell of a romantic scene for you and your date. The vibe of this intimate haunt is cosy and sleek, with leather sofas and homely table lamps. Don your glad rags and make your way to this drinking den that whips up some lip-smacking treats. Think floral cocktails, like the Plymouth sloe and Aperol Blackthorn, accompanied by moreish small plates, for example cheese and antipasti boards accompanied by wine. 

Situated on Church Lane, Tetto is a leafy sky-high eatery that is one of the best things to do in Belfast for couples if you're looking to wow. Join for an art installation, its late-night vinyl sessions on Fridays and Saturdays or head up to the rooftop to take in the stunning city views, spritz in hand, to the soundtrack of a DJ. The menu boasts a range of internationally inspired meals, like the fennel and chilli meatballs with tomato and mascarpone.

Experience fine dining for less at Six By Nico in the Cathedral Quarter, famed for its experimental six-course tasting menus with previous themes as wild as the Mad Hatter's tea party and the funfair.  The interiors offer marble countertops, dark brown furnishings and an open-plan kitchen so you can watch the magic happen. You'll be able to tuck into creative plates that rotate every six weeks for less than the usual high-brow tasting menu and wow your sweetheart with such a great find.

Go all out by planning a date to the hot, Michelin-starred restaurant The Muddler's Club and you're bound to secure a second (or, you know). Dine among gothic decor in an intimate, low-lit setting and feast on a cleverly crafted, seasonal tasting menu with dishes such as cod, chicken skin and truffle, or the non-meat eaters option, featuring veggie cabbage, dukkah and gnocchi. 

Looking for fun things to do in Belfast for young adults and couples? Cabaret Supper Club should be right up your street. Expect a roster of acts, from the likes of burlesque, comedy, live music and aerial acrobatics to take the stage. And when the lights go down? There's bound to be live DJ sets.

A French brasserie inside Cleaver House, Cafe Parisien is ideal for those in need of fun things to do for couples in Belfast city centre. Break the ice over scones, sandwiches and plenty of Champagne in the afternoon, or opt for a few sultry drinks on the rooftop terrace when the sun goes down.
