Southside Social is the Belfast Queens Quarter bar where 80s styling and a hidden Chinese restaurant reign supreme, bringing the ideal night out combo of stomach-lining grub with signature spritzes or craft beers.

Not only can you expect cool speckled tables, a white tiled bar and vintage phones, but also the stripped-back wooden booths to match. Late-night openings add to the vibe, especially when you can munch through Lucky Duck's authentic menu of sweet and sour or black bean sauces.

As for those cocktails? There's CBD-laced drinks or retro Parma Violets flavours and the classic black velvet (flutes of Guinness and bubbles).
