In the last 20 years we have seen many changes to the
Belfast Landscape
The Apartment opened its doors 18 years ago and we were instantly introduced to a new cosmopolitan style bar which would start a trend for many others to follow.
As the Apartment comes of age we say farewell as she closes her doors.
A new bar era currently exists in a vibrant busy Belfast which embraces change and celebrates all that we are proud of in Belfast.
Hell Cat Maggie’s
has replaced the once loved and renowned Apartment.
She was a formidable character who “was born in Ireland, and raised hell in New York. A member of the Dead Rabbit gang who were an infamous Gang of New York in the 1800s.
Maggie left Ireland for a hopeful new future in the land of Dreams and found herself orphaned and a fighter at the ripe age of eight years old. Gentleman Jasper a highly ranked Dead Rabbit decided to recruit her into the gang.
Maggie was an influential gangster involved in the madness and mayhem of the New York Five Points district where she was a noted fighter with reportedly teeth filed into points and claw-like brass fingernails.
The new venue is a warm, welcoming traditional style bar with a range of natural woods, old style finishes and eclectic bric a brac found in original Irish pubs combined with artwork that depicts and celebrates the story of Hell Cat Maggie and her New York history.
Premium products, old favourite tipples, Irish American inspired food and live music the new Hell Cat Maggie’s will offer a blend of all that we love and a taste of something new.
