Christmas 'do' in Belfast

[Is that it?]

Where is a little bit different for a Christmas do in Belfast - have tried most of the hotels and this year we just did small groups gather in thier favourite pub and eat fast food option, which is grand but doesn't cater for a big crowd or even gather everyone together -  so is there a good alternative?

Are there venues (not the standard hotels) that offer big rooms with a bar or pubs that you can book the whole place out?

Although I can't answer your question, I can supply a cute way of suggesting that everyone picks up their own tab.. . .  and that is, send the invitations out showing that this is a "NO HOST" party.
This way everyone can get together in an affordable way
