I know other threads have mentioned which are the best eateries for breakfast/lunch/dinner but thought I'd start this thread to try and find out which allow you to bring your own drink.
I'll start with a couple...
Giraffe, 54 Stranmillis Road - very good food, good atmosphere, not too badly priced and corkage is £1.50. No need to book for numbers up to about 6 or so.
Maggie Mays, Botanic Avenue - does best breakfast in Belfast but also does nice lunch and dinner. I know it's 'bring your own' but not sure what the corkage charge is.

The Sun Key Chinese restaurant in Donegall Pass,Belfast (and its sister restaurant directly opposite on the same street) both allow you to BYOB. The food is excellent!!!ANGER is one letter away from DANGER0

ok, here's my list of places i have been to eat that let you byob:
Sun Kee, donegall pass (mentioned above) - it's where the chinese go to eat, nuff said
Cafe Renoir, botanic ave. v nice food and varied menu but tell them you want to byo as there's a licensed and an unlicensed part
The Abacus (chinese) eglantine avenue. very cheap and tasty, but basic decor!
vincents on botanic ave. ok food in my experience, service was terrible last time i was there.
GREENS PIZZA lisburn road. delish pizzas and dragon tongue supreme garlic/chill bread is to die for. i love it. (but it is pricey for a pizzaria)
Legends on lisburn road, am told it is nice, but each have we tried to go our party has been too big for them to accomodate0 -
There's a great chinese in Botanic called the Dragon Palace, i think you can BYO to it even though it's licenced.
Anyone know of any Indian restaurants you can bring your own bottle to ?0 -
Scarlets on the lisburn rd basic decor food and service excellent think corcage is a pound0

Im sorry to disagree, but Giraffe is NOT Good. Ive been a few times, and on the last visit I got a burger (Prob 1.5 inches thick), in the middle it was "straight out of the tesco pack" PINK, and cold. It wasnt even slightly cooked - just raw mince. I have the photo in my phone and I only wish I could figure out how to get it off the phone and on here. When I complained to the waitress, she took it back to the chef, who looked down to my table, and gave me a smart-arsed smirk (Im guessing he must have been on day release or on some YTP training course). After a considerable time complaining they finally agreed that I shouldnt pay for it.
Giraffe can go wind its neck in!! ;-)if i had known then what i know now0 -

Sad to see the places that have closed since this thread started e.g. Wrap Works was good.
I second L'Etoile and Drennan's is also fantastic.
