Interesting little boozer, well kept with good selection of beers. Barman friendly enough. Overtly political paintings adorn the place which did give me some sense of unease though - Brits in a strange city e.t.c, worth a visit however.

Great little bar serving some of the rarer Northern Irish and Irish Keg and bottled beers. Friendly bar-staff.

Walked down here to go to the Kitchen Bar which is over the road. This looked far more interesting, so headed in.
They don't seem to do real ale in NI - but they do have a fine collection of Irish Whiskies in here.
1 regular - the rest tourists. Myself included.

An attractive and interesting place to visit for the tourist, particularly because of the artwork on display. Interesting selection of varied customers, though the turnover seemed high.
Wide range of craft (bottled) ales plus some on tap...but what a price! Why do they charge £2.50 a half for Guinness and £2.75 for a 'guest'? I was gobsmacked when I handed over £10 to buy two pints and had to find another £1 to pay up! Yes, it's a very nice bar, but such prices are taking the proverbial - it's NOT London! Probably explains the high turnover of customers.
Interestingly, after an initially friendly welcome, our sedate drinking and playing of cards (after we asked permission) was eventually called into question - apparently, we were occupying valuable drinking space at our table - we moved on, ultimately unimpressed. Pity.

Walking past this place, I was struck how it had an uncanny resemblance, to the Flat Iron building in New York, architecture wise.
That is where it ended sadly, as upon entering we were confronted with pictures and posters of Paisley and Thatcher. Couple behind the bar were friendly and chatty. Just didn't feel comfortable with the posters. (I can't stand Thatcher or Paisley.)

Quirky pub with the previously mentioned tiered seating, posters and pictures adorn the walls reflecting some of the characters of Belfast. Interesting selection of bottled beers, tried a red ale that was tasty enough but way overpriced.
Very convivial, this pub has a lovely atmosphere and mixed clientele, just a shame you are paying nearly 4 quid for a bottle, parts of London are cheaper!

Great bar, full of character and a warm welcome. Stocks a wide range of bottles from micro and craft brewers, as well as a tantalising range of whiskeys. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely love this pub, do not miss it out of any trip to Belfast. How he produces food in the quality and quantity he does from that tiny kitchen is a mystery. The Ulster Fry for �3.95 will set you up for the day, come back later for the special: bowl of stew, wheaten bread and a pint of Guinness for a fiver.

A traditional Irish bar and on reflection one of my favourites in Belfast. It�s very small being at the tip of an iron shaped building but there�s plenty of character packed in. The landlord John was always buzzing around chatting to customers recommending beers and making sure everyone, locals and visitors, were OK. There is no cask ale but they do have a range of bottled beers including many from local breweries - try Molly�s Chocolate Stout or Headless Dog from the College Green Brewery. Also serves an excellent Irish Stew. The bar has an arty theme with paintings and drawings of famous Irishmen by local artists.

The food is excellent too. Well-made, decent portions and well-priced. The range of bottled beer keeps on growing and their Christmas range includes a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale at a whopping 9.6%.
|
Superb - and tiny - pub situated in the apex of a flat-iron type warehouse building. Tiered seating up into angle from small bar with huge range of bottled beers and whiskies, very friendly welcome. Lots of music-hall and literary memorabilia crammed onto walls. A marvellous Belfast experience.
