Friendly, helpful, courteous waiting staff. Food nicely served. Delicious, and as a vegetarian so nice to get a different meal choice from the usual standard pizza, pasta, risotto, goat cheese offerings. I had butter bean rissoles with garlic fries and salad. Very good value for money also, as I feel veggie people are often ripped off in restaurants where they charge carnivore prices for a handful of cheap pasta with a few mushrooms chucked in and call it a 'vegetarian meal'. The John Hewitt had the right mix of good wholesome home-made food for N. Irish people who like their spuds! Can't praise the place enough. They have standards and ethics, they house live music and works of art, plus it is monument to poetry! Ticks all my boxes! Thanks so much for a wonderful lunch yesterday!
A Real Belfast Pub. Live Music six nights per week. Jazz, Folk, Rhythm & Blues. Fantastic Fresh Food served everyday. In the Heart of Belfast's Cathedral Quarter. The Bar is owned by a Charity so all profits go back into the community
Great pints, great music and a lovely central location for a pint. Haven't tried the food but the selection of drinks is decent and the atmosphere is lively but you can still chat
A lovely local bar, with Irish beer fir sale, not got the ordinary beers but some great craft beers for sale.
We enjoyed or visit so much we went back.
I have heard about this place for a while, especially with it's connection with Boundary Brewery. So after a great concert in the Telegraph building (and that's a great use of space) I finally had a chance to call in. It has a great old time pub atmosphere that I really liked. Strange that all Belfast pubs were like this not that long ago. I'm not the biggest fan of traditional music being played, feels touristy to me somehow, but it wasn't that annoying. And the beer selection is great for a city centre pub. There was a real mix of ages here, and I enjoyed it. A nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to those who want a different pint in a good spot
Lovely bar, great choice of pints and a fridge full of good beers. Surprised how quiet it was on a Friday early afternoon but will definitely be back. Classic old fashioned bar
Wonderful atmospheric pub. An eclectic selection of beers and traditional impromptu sessions add to the overall enjoyment.
Nice brewpub with a excellent outside area.
Unfortunately in my most recent visit we were in on a very quiet night and just before closing time. Great selection of beers and just as well as our party included a beer reviewer! Been before several times before and usually very lively.
Great wee bar on outskirts of cathedral quarter. Always busy but can almost always get a seat. Recently renovated beer garden and lovely craft beers from both Boundary and a mix of guests, along with good takeaway can selections. No food on offer. Usually some form of live music, often traditional, and a pub quiz mid week. CARD ONLY - NO CASH.
This is a lovely pub that offer some amazing nights. The atmosphere is calm, even when it's packed with people. The beer garden is lovely and in a quiet corner. They can pour a proper Guinness, which is a huge plus.
Great look of a traditional bar belies a modern cool vibe. Decent selection of beer (although we only went for Guinness!). Tight trio playing jazz in the corner made the ambience.
