Found this place one evening by googling 'Irish stew in Belfast'... We were in the smaller back bar, entered by a small alleyway.... Didn't even know about the 'front entrance' until we passed it the next day in the daylight... Exceptional atmosphere, traditional live music, perfect Guinness, piping hot Irish stew... Two very friendly barstaff, tables cleared and cleaned very quickly...

Molt acollidor. Guinness excelent i ple de locals, no gaire massificat de turistes, tot i ser el pub més antic de Irlanda del nord
