This is a wee hidden gem with great atmosphere and gigs on the weekend. You can go upstairs to the newly done up space for the local gigs. There's also delicious food served for a reasonable price by very friendly and welcoming staff!
Great venue for live music, although very small. Staff are always helpful and polite. They even formed a great band, which is actually rather good. Parking can be an issue but only 5 mins walk from York Street train station. Have been there many times, last Sunday was our latest visit. The food is rather good too. Well worth a visit at anytime
When you want to chill and have a relaxing pint this is the place to go to. Great service from bar staff who really know what they're doing. A good selection of Irish beers and larger to try. On the edge of town and near the ferry terminals . Great to sit either in or, outside. Definitely worth a return visit.
What a great place. Upstairs is a small intimate friendly space, ideal for listening to live bands playing righteous sounds. Last week featured the magnificent Villiers and the villains. The perfect venue for a perfect Saturday afternoon scoop or two. Highly recommended. Try the Guinness.
Lovely people, beautiful food, great pints. There was a giant collective pub board game being tested last time I was there. Gegs.
The last up on my little sunday crawl led me off the beaten track and down to the dock area to sample this watering hole. Even though coving is covered with football scarves from around the world it doesn’t really give off the “We are a solely a football boozer” and when you walk upstairs you see what else they have to offer. On my visit there were a bunch of young lads who hired the upstairs to play computer games but it also doubles up as a theatre space where @pintsized_productions_ni put on regular shows.
A real gem within Belfast, a little off the beaten track but you won't be disappointed. Live music at the weekends with food at the rear plus beer garden. Definitely value for money which is hard to find these days and the pints of Guinness are second to none.
So good to be back and there’s been changes! A beer garden out the back doubling the space, a kitchen so that they now provide food from 4pm Thursday to Saturdays. Still able to bring our food in from Benny’s Cafe next door. Great pints. Really chatty staff as always and a regular Friday hub for the workers
