Belfast’s newest hotspot ‘Southside Social’ has recently opened its doors on Botanic Avenue to a social media frenzy, courtesy of its unique 80’s styling and a secret Chinese Restaurant hidden within.

Fancy a chicken curry with your cocktail, or perhaps a beer with your beef and black bean. This is your perfect spot!

The ‘Lucky Duck Chinese’ restaurant offers "Authentic Belfast Chinese" dishes and has options to sit-in or takeaway.

The venue offers a unique concept and quirky experience, with a licence to stay open until 3am.

The new and exciting establishment in Northern Ireland is the result of a significant investment by Belfast hospitality company ‘The Ringland Group’.

“We believe that 'good craic' is a necessity in life,” explains Ringland Group MD, Peter Ringland. “We are passionate about getting our customers to the 'good times' as quickly and easily as possible. Customers increasingly expect their nights out to be an 'experience' and we are here to deliver that.”

Thomas Camblin - Ringland Group Development Manager said: “We figured that it's difficult to imagine a more iconic Friday night in Northern Ireland than a Chinese takeaway and a cold beer. So we thought ‘why not put a Chinese Restaurant inside a bar?’.

“The concept has caused a social media storm and customers seem to be loving the fact that we are open until 3AM - the perfect spot to party all evening.”
