TWe wanted an Irish stew and popped into this place. Very popular as there were a lot of patrons. We decided to sit inside and our order was taken at the bar. Irish Stew and some ciders to wash it down. The stew was delicious, looked small but it's filling. Served with a slice of bread. Service was brilliant and polite. Felt welcomed. There was music but didn't realise it was live, there was a wee band on the other side. Such a lovely atmosphere. We stayed a bit after eating to catch one of the performances. Such a cool place to come a d chill out and enjoy live music.
KaimeraPkFantastic atmosphere tried my first Irish pint of Guinness and the rumours are true it does taste so much better live Irish music playing couldn’t ask for more for a traditional Irish experience staff and all patrons friendly had security on the door making sure everyone there was the right age no drama just a great experience lots of seating indoor and out door has a rain shelter for outside and toilets where clean couldn’t ask for more. Apparently the only food they sell is Irish stew but we had already eaten before arriving but everyone recommends it and says it tastes amazing.
David SimkinsOne of my favourite pubs in Belfast. An historic building with a cosy, traditional interior. Live music, good food and a great atmosphere. The Gents toilets are tiny and a little unpleasant, but that’s mainly due to the constraints of the original building. Lots of outdoor seating for big groups, although the weather wasn’t great at the time of our visit so we were very happy to find a table inside.
Chris KinnersleyA proper Irish pub where you can listen to live Irish music. The pub gets very busy both in and out but it's a great atmosphere and a must see! Loved it!
