Agreed, Sweet Afton is quite chilled although it can be a bit busy sometimes.

Yeah bit of a tough one to answer, most of the good and nice bars are busy because they’re good and nice

Cloth ear, sweet Afton worth a go

Try jailhouse grand bar,

Cuba takes ages for a drink sometimes if cocktails

Ulster social club good craic

The duke of york small but gets a really great crowd and bouncing and usually standing room only unless u are early

Or union street for a fun night out

"
I agree with this one and added my own take on it and avoid Robinson’s and The Crown are tourist easy picks, toilets filthy and hospitality from staff is rubbish. You will have a great night out and some fantastic restaurants to grab a bite earlier.

Lisburn

The Green Room bar of the Black Box theatre doesn't usually get too crowded, has nice beer selection and can be great for people watching in the otherwise hectic Cathedral Quarter.

The Sunflower is a great bar with iconic 'cage' entrance and a large outdoor area with great pizza at weekends. Also very near the Kremlin/Maverick, nominally gay spots but always good vibes!

I'd second Ulster Sports Club, more of a hipster place and can get busy but great tunes out the back (events upstairs).

I'd also recommend the top floor Observatory bar of the Grand Central Hotel. Spendy cocktails but incredible panoramic views... feels very NYC. For similarly spendy (but better) cocktails, the bar of the Merchant Hotel is also great... amazing interior.

Belfast is also great for eating out in... tons of great value across the price ranges!

Belfast

"What are some nice pubs to visit in Belfast - places where it's a bit quieter and you have room to move? x

Crown, harp, the national, Robinsons, harp, thirsty goat, dirty onion, granny Annie's- they all are always extremely packed and overpriced most with shockingly loud "live music" (usually a guy or two with guitars and massive amplifiers turned up to the max) with no room to move around unless you go out at 5pm and don't like staying out past 9pm.

AM:PM has great shows on,

Union Street bar has a fantastic Rooftop bar where you can roam around (Rooftop opens only on Saturday evenings).

Laverys is a good choice but can be cramped at times.

Revolution de Cuba is Huge! Their live music is not too loud and decor is gorgeous!

The House - bar atmosphere is stunning, although it does get quite loud and busy.

Tipsy Bird - a bit out of the way and they don't accept cash, but it's another beautiful wee bar.

My best suggestion is to go on a wee pub crawl through city centre and just settle where you like the most.

Missus

I hope you threw an equally outdated and confusing mid 1800s political (or otherwise) statement at him... Perhaps ask him what he thinks about the recent introduction of a child workers act

Where the Streets Have No Name

I drove up to meet someone in 'the Doyen' last summer. (I think the area was called Finaghy?

)

We only had a couple there but it seemed like a decent local.
