The Spotlight on Tara Lodge

Stylish Comfort in Belfast’s Vibrant Queen’s Quarter


Tara Lodge is a modern, boutique-style hotel tucked into Belfast’s lively Queen’s Quarter, just a 10-minute walk from the city centre. Known for its warm hospitality since 1998, this sleek B&B offers a quiet, laid-back base with stylish, contemporary rooms and a team dedicated to making your stay comfortable from check-in to check-out. With limited free on-site parking, a central location, and an easy-going vibe, it’s a smart pick for music fans visiting Belfast.

Why Concert-goers love it


Tara Lodge is positioned within walking distance of many of Belfast’s popular music venues, making it ideal for catching a show without the hassle of late-night transport. The location strikes a great balance—close to the action, yet tucked just far enough away to offer a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore. With a 12:00 pm checkout, you can sleep in after a late gig, and the area is well-served by taxis and public transit for easy navigation.

Who this Hotel is great for


- Groups of friends looking for a stylish but chilled-out stay
- Solo travelers heading to a must-see concert
- Couples enjoying a music-filled weekend getaway
- Fans who value a quiet retreat after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options


While Tara Lodge doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, guests rave about the delicious breakfast—perfect for refueling after a night out. Plus, the surrounding Queen’s Quarter is packed with walkable restaurants, cafes, and late-night eateries to suit every craving. Room service isn’t 24/7, but the front desk team is happy to recommend great local spots for a post-gig bite.

Nightlife Options


You're just steps from Botanic Avenue’s buzzing bar scene, with everything from laid-back pubs with local brews to trendy cocktail lounges. While Tara Lodge keeps things low-key on-site (no bar or live music), it’s a short stroll to some of Belfast’s most popular nightspots and music venues.

What People Say


Reviews consistently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, immaculate rooms, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the quiet, relaxed atmosphere after a night out and love the easy access to restaurants, bars, and the city centre. Many mention the comfortable beds and how clean and modern everything feels.

Areas for Improvement


The free parking is a big plus, but spaces are limited—first-come, first-served—so plan ahead if you're driving. There’s no bar or restaurant on-site, which might not suit those looking to keep the party going in-house, but the local options more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line


Tara Lodge is a stylish, peaceful base for concert-goers who want a great night’s sleep just a short walk from Belfast’s buzzing music and nightlife scene.

Fantastic little hotel with a...

Liked: Good location . Small hotel with lovely homely one and terrific staff from the moment we walked in. Secure parking . Tastefully decorated with a huge bathroom. Breakfast was beautiful and staff at breakfast chatty and funny! Loved it
Disliked: Only 1 thing and not really a big deal - my pillow was uncomfortable. Apparently I could have asked for a different pillow but I didn’t realise . I spoke to reception and she was lovely.

Great for Ormeau Park gigs

Liked: The veggie breakkie was delightful, the staff are wonderfully friendly and it was in walkable distance to Ormeau Park and near a lovely Greek restaurant.
Disliked: The TV was in a weird spot so in order to watch it we had to move the bed!
