About this place The Maverick
The Maverick sits at the top of Union Street and bills itself as a radical alternative at the heart of Belfast's queer quarter. Spread over two floors, it is known for drag, karaoke and cabaret, with a friendly, unpretentious crowd. Its street-corner location puts it steps from Union Street Bar, Kremlin and Boombox, making it a regular stop on a night around the gay quarter.
