About

Welcome to Cityside — Belfast’s playground for grown-ups and kiddos

Looking for somewhere to hang out that’s more exciting than the usual shopping run?
You’ve found it.

Cityside is Belfast’s go-to spot for movie nights, date nights, family adventures, rainy-day escapes and those “let’s just do something fun” moments. We’re all about easy good times — no fuss, loads of free parking, and plenty to do under one roof.

Big screens. Big laughs. Big nights out.

Whether you’re chasing the latest blockbuster or settling in for a cosy classic, Movie House Cinemas brings the magic with 14 screens, comfy seating and all the treats that make movie night special.

Jungle adventures (no plane ticket needed)

Two fully themed 18-hole courses, jungle effects, ancient temples and tropical vibes — Lost City Adventure Golf turns every round into an adventure. Perfect for families, mates or competitive dates. And don’t miss the tiki bar.

Axe throwing with attitude

Let off steam the dramatic way at Black Axe Throwing. Learn to sling like a Viking, compete with friends, and claim bragging rights. It’s high-energy, surprisingly beginner-friendly, and always a great time.

Retro gaming for pure nostalgia

The Retro Room brings back the golden age of gaming — arcade machines, retro consoles, neon glow and all the classics. Whether you’re reliving the past or discovering it for the first time, it’s good vibes all the way.

Train hard. Chill harder.

Push yourself or ease your way back into fitness at Gym Co — with weights, cardio, classes, functional zones and a spa/sauna area to unwind afterward. Strength and relaxation in perfect balance.

Big fun for little adventurers

At Funky Monkeys, kids can climb, slide and explore in a colourful soft-play world built for excitement. Perfect for birthdays, rainy days or letting little ones burn off energy.

Feel lucky?

Galaxy Bingo brings the buzz with friendly games, great prizes and a lively atmosphere. Whether you’re a regular or dropping in for a fun night out, it’s all about enjoyment and excitement.

Good food, good drinks, good company
