Cool place with welcoming staff - but the rooms need a bit of work, it's a beautiful building.

Despite arriving close to closing time, we had a wonderful warm welcome at this lovely bright and charming Arts Centre café. We ordered two different toasted sandwiches which were well presented, extremely tasty and served with delicious, colourful salads. A great find on our first visit to Belfast! Thank you.

Beautiful, welcoming venue! Full of art and colour. Great accessibility and nice coffee. Giving three stars only because it’s too warm and there’s no water or drinks available during the show hours - inside cafe closed and no vending machines available.

The Crescent is a great venue and quite intimate too. Have seen a few bands here and always enjoy it. No drinks license, so it’s a case of bring your own wine or beer only. Glasses supplied.

Only been here once to meet with the team taking my sis on dream flight to America, there was a big enough hall with tables all set out for this occasion. But there is a cafe on your right when u go into the building.
