Yardbird is our rotisserie chicken restaurant upstairs above The Dirty Onion. Our menu is small but our flavours are big. Ok, we do chicken, but our chicken is famous!
Our local free-to-roam chicken is marinated for 24 hours in lemon, buttermilk, and paprika. It is then dry-rubbed, cooked and blast-chilled to keep it juicy and finally roasted on the spit. Ribs and wings are also available, as are a choice of sides and homemade desserts. Hungry yet?
We prepare all our food in-house and service is fast!
This is a booking for Yardbird the restaurant, The Dirty Onion bar operates on a first come first serve basis.

Steak

The clue is in the name....and for the juiciest, most flavorsome steaks around, no matter how you take it, it's hard to beat a Josper-cooked steak! The secret is our Josper grill, a very particular style of Spanish charcoal oven, which is regarded by chefs worldwide as the finest method of cooking super tender steaks, while locking in all those wonderful flavors. So whether it's Sirloin or Rib Eye you prefer, the unique smoky, barbecue-style taste of our locally sourced, prime aged steaks is, we believe, out of this world! If, however, steaks are not your thing, then fear not, as we also offer a wide-ranging & amp; varied menu and quick & easy Light Lunch menu.

    Brendan is the best customer facing representative any business could ask for. Unbelievable service, fantastic knowledge of the excellent food and drink being sold, and he was able to make high quality recommendations that were spot-on. Easily the best service I've ever received in Belfast. I used to go to The Great Room or Bert's Jazz Bar for the best service, but those have both been very disappointing lately. I will be going to the Bank Square Brasserie for as long as Brendan is there.

    Had an amazing evening all round. Staff were amazing, food was top tier and the live music was incredible. A couple of the items off the menu were out of stock when we tried to order them, but it was late enough and just after the festive period so wouldn’t mark them down for this! To be honest when we chose different starters and mains I think we got even nicer food than our first choices. When the bill arrived we had to reread it as we thought they had left something off, the prices were so reasonable for such good food and drink. Will definitely return when we are back in Belfast again
