The dark wood and tiled floor give it a feel of The Crown but without the tourists and dodgy toilets. It is a bit of an old man's bar, but having been in with a group of girls who had no interest in watching the sport on the big screens, it went down a treat. There is also a pool hall upstairs, which although nowhere near as good or big as Laverys it is perfect for pottering away the afternoon. While it's neighbour The Errigle may be busier, the craic is superior in the Pav and you unlike the great selection of beers ,you can't get that on draught. ;-)

This night was top class and came recommended by the Guardians Guide- put that in yer pipe! Captains Topsy and Pixie play, in their own words '40's swing, 50's rock'n'roll, 60's girl groups, Motown, 80's alt pop and a load of shit/ brilliant stuff', well done girls on describing your own night, this is spot on! The music was amazering! Loads of sixties classics like 'These boots were made for Walkin' fitting snuggly between 'Walk like an Egyptian' and a bitta Dolly Parton 'Nine to Five'. There were also some amazingly crap tunes like Cotton Eye Joe, oh dear, but it was all in the name of good fun. Most people came dressed in cowgirl and cowboy outfiits, including one guy who went a bit far and wore a pair of leather chaps, cowboy boots with a pair of boxers underneath and a waistcoat. It ensured there was a 5 mile radius around this dude on the dancefloor for the entire night, but hey, he was enjoying himself. The downstairs bar is nice and elegant, but the TV's showing sport were really intrusive whilst trying to have a nice drink. Upstairs the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed. I would definitely recommend this night to you, yes you, I know we don't know each other that well but you'll enjoy it. Trust me! Check Hellza Poppin Belfast for the next hoedown.

Parking was pretty easy, there are loads of street parking spots on side streets; lots of tables inside, outside, and a back restaurant area off the bar. We chose to sit in the bar area, viewing their massive tap list, with loads of local craft brews (complete with Untapped check-ins). We ordered the Potato, leek, sausage platter and the Chicken Burger with sweet potato fries. The mashed potatoes had a great pop of flavor, the Yorkshire pudding was fluffy not soggy, and the sausages melted in my mouth. The Chicken Burger had a unique flavor spice profile, with wonderfully crisp sweet potato fries. We also ate some sticky toffee pudding for dessert, that had a warm buttery goodness to it. I definitely recommend stopping by for food!

There've been more pubs in this building than I can remember, none of which have lasted very long…read more Unfortunately, I'm not sure the latest, Northern Lights, will last either. Have been two to three times so far during early evening but there were very few people present on each occasion. Even though Northern Lights are craft beer specialists I haven't tried any beers to date, only gin and wine, which has been fine. Staff are faultlessly professional. It just seems to lack vibrancy and atmosphere, but might be better during later evening with larger crowds and more life about the place...

Situated on the prominent Ormeau Road, you would think that the Rose And Crown pub could not be…read moreoverlooked, but you would be wrong. Unfortunately for the Rose and Crown it is positioned right beside the ever popular Hatfield Bar. This I am sure is a relief to the locals who frequent the pub but maybe not so much for the takings of the Rose and Crown in comparison with their rivals next door. Yet, this pub has much to offer those who fancy either a quiet drink by themselves or with a group. Positives come in the fact that you won't have to queue for a drink and when you do get it you won't have to worry about someone bumping into your pint and spilling any precious drop! As well as this, the pub's location means that when it's kicking out time, there are a range of eateries waiting for your custom, how tempting!

We would be sitting in the editing room and somebody would say at midnight - 'I could do with a drink', somebody then said that you could go down to the Hatfield on the Ormeau road and get a carryout out of the side door. And so you could. That story probably paints this bar in quite a bad light. It certainly has a bit of a reputation for being a bit rough due to its location and tendency to sell after hours booze out the side door. But I've always quite enjoyed anytime I've been here. Its a bit old school and I wouldn't expect too many thrills and spills but it is a nice enough pub to go out for a few drinks. There is live music on from time to time and has a nice atmosphere if there is a good crowd in. The locals and staff are friendly and the selection and prices are pretty much standard for the city. It's maybe a little bit out of the way if you are on a pub crawl or a night out in the city but if not, then you could definitely do worse.
