Anything you like - just avoid Paddy, Mick, Smickers or Spidey - these rarely go down well!
Can you not delay until 12 March - Stiff Little Fingers are playing!

Where abouts are you staying? Everything in Belfast city centre is within walking distance, but some pubs are better to stagger home from than others. And there are still some dodgy spots worth avoiding late at night...
Wednesday nights are not a big deal over here (the weekend starts on Thursdays!), so you will have no problem getting a meal. Grub mightn't be up to London standards, but a few pints will ruin your tastebuds anyway...

I've had a number of excellent value meals at the Morning Star pub in Pottinger's Entry. Can get busy though so booking may be wise.

As you're from London, anything you want. They won't be able to understand a word that you are saying!

Staying at the Holiday Inn.
I'm going with one of my two bosses. The Sex and the City one. The cosmo one. The one who thought North Wales was a concept until we actually went to Llandudno and she saw North Wales was real.

Then you are handy to everything worth being handy to. You could do an epic pub crawl from the Holiday Inn and back again and only cover about a mile of ground! Or just keep heading up past Botanic until your legs give up, then catch a taxi back. The city centre is, most definitely, your lobster.
There is (apparently) good shopping to be had on the Lisburn Road, if your Carrie Bradshaw-styled boss is looking for shoes and you finish too early for a pint.
Here's a list of eating out reviews from the local rag http://www.belfastte...ent/eating-out/ - if the company are paying, it might help you to set an 'appropriate' budget...
Otherwise, there is a Nando's right beside your hotel!

Just say 'bout ya' to anyone you meet and you'll be quite safe.

Mucker, you've been in London (Knightsbridge, by the sound of your text...) too long. The correct pronunciation is 'bout ye, Big Lad.'
If you said 'bout ya to someone in town, all they would hear is 'how now, brown cow' and they would burst out laughing, then demand 'Mine's a pint - stickin' out' with menaces...
