IN PICS: A look inside Babel - Belfast's newest rooftop bar & garden
Set to shake up the cocktail scene!
Last updated 24th Oct 2017
The latest addition to Belfast’s buzzing social scene has opened its doors to the public.
Babel - a vibrant new rooftop bar and garden – is part of a £1.75m expansion of Bullitt Hotel. The contemporary new space includes a plush indoor bar; an open-air terrace with panoramic views and a retractable roof; and a cosy corner VIP room.
Accessed via Ann Street, the stylish space is a laid back, urban oasis with lush foliage, an interior living wall made up of 300 fresh plants and herbs and a vertical exterior garden wall that can be seen from ground level.
Set to shake up Belfast’s cocktail scene, the drinks menu features an eclectic range of Shrub Cocktails, using a fresh supply of herbs from a living wall as ingredients and garnishes for the drinks, and the mouth-watering small plates menu is inspired by South and East Asian cuisine.
Commenting on the opening, Conall Wolsey, director of Beannchor, said:
“Bullitt marks its first anniversary with the opening of Babel, our stylish new rooftop bar and garden. The venue is a perfect hangout space, with a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere and stunning views across the city in every direction.
“Our vision for the hotel was for it to be a place where people could work, relax and socialise and the new rooftop bar adds to this offering, transforming a formerly unused space into a vibrant new venue in the heart of the city centre.
Babel will host events throughout the year and will have resident DJs every Friday and Saturday night.
It is open daily from 12pm until late with food served daily from 12pm until 10pm.
