This was a small space with a bare brick-type of atmosphere. The bartender knew how to pour a proper Guinness and to ask about a refill before you've finished your first (a proper pour cannot be rushed). There is no kitchen but many food options exist nearby. The dartboard was occupied and the conversation friendly. Atmosphere was not particularly Irish but pleasant enough. read more

An ok pub, but a meh bartender who said "there is nothing fun to do in Charlotte" and recommended we head to other bars for difficult drinks. read more

Belfast Mill Irish Pub - Exterior menu - Irish Pub Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Good beer, great service. Zack was on top of it and also very kind. So far our visit here in Charlotte we have had a bad experience with rude people and this place made up for it. read more

Actual Irish bartenders. Great location. Friendly place. Good draft selection and always has Guinness.

This place is just simply awesome! Tucked away in the brevard courtyard behind the Latta Arcade you will find Belfast Mill along a row of little bars and restaurants. It may be small but it has a lot of personality inside from the old school Irish decor to the worn down but still functional dart boards at the back. The term "hole in the wall" feels perfect to describe it but it has such a cozy vibe it's a fantastic place to sit down for a pint. One of the reasons I miss working in the office is because we had places like this nearby to grab after work beers! read more

The woman bartender fantastic. The guy rude. Super rude. Wouldnt let us play darts because i didnt have a beer in my hand okay, i just bought 4 beers in a row and drank them. I was super nice about it and he rolled his eyes and saiid uhh okay congrats i need you to buy a beer rn tho. I said i just had a few ima take a break and get one in a bit then. Then comes to our table and says if your not going to buy anymore drinks i need you guys to leave, it has only been maybe 3 min lol. I just said alright man i hope your day gets better. Just weird bro. Im here on vacation tryin to have a good time and guy was just a super buzz kill. Chunkier guy about 6'3 , thats the culprit. Be nice to him because apparently he's sensitive to nice people lmao. read more

Tucked away in the French corner is a gem of a bar called The Belfast Mill. We stopped in last night before the knights game to grab a pregame brew and it turned out to be the perfect spot. Great Irish feel the the bar and also has the cotton room located above, huge TV screen and some dart boards give this pub a great day drinking location with friends. read more

I just left BWW and I've never been happier. I got a water and a drink within the first 3 minutes after arriving. Thank you for making my trip to Charlotte better. Just better read more

Good spot. Very chill. Quality Charlotte beers on tap. Wish they had some brats but I would recommend read more

Belfast Mill Irish Pub - a man sitting at the bar - Irish Pub Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

What a neat lil dive bar. There is nothing fancy about this joint and that is perfectly fine with me. Belly up to the bar and tip back a few of the cold draft beers on tap, or choose a whiskey from their endless selection. Jeremiah was more than gracious as a bartender. Very energetic and conversational! It seems like quite the spot to hit up before going to an uptown sporting event. During our visit there were several baseball goers dropping in to pre-game. The restroom is tucked away in the corner furthest from the bar and is tiny. But, does size matter? Do your biznazz and get out... Overall a great place and can't wait to get back. read more

Belfast Mill Irish Pub - Irish I wasn't about to drink this Car Bomb... Oh, well that wasn't so bad... - Irish Pub Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love this kinds of places! It's small and makes you feel like a local. They have a full bar and beers on draft. They have music (pretty good too) and they have darts. Bartender was super friendly and talkative. Locals that were in there were nice as well. It's on an alley so it makes you feel like you're in another country when you're walking to it. It has other restaurants around too as well so it's not a scary alley . Not sure if they offer food as we only went there for the Guinness. I would definitely come back if I'm in town. read more

Belfast Mill Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Oh hey there! What's in that silver container that says hot? Oh, it's coffee? I'll take a cup!

It's the worst place u can ever go . The staff was very rude and was demanding for a particular amount of tip.

If you are missing Ireland, head to Belfast! Great selection of Irish beers on tap and a fun atmosphere!!

This place is located in the historic Latta Arcade in Uptown. One of the few historic areas the developers didn't bulldoze down in Charlotte. The Belfast Mill is small Irish pub. Maybe two tables outside of the bar to sit at. Not a place to take a large group of coworkers. Love the historic building and the ambience of this place. I have seen the word "authentic" used in other reviews and I would agree. The menu is classic pub food. Burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips, etc. The food is cooked across the alley at another business. Its okay. Nothing memorable. Of course we were there for the beer so I'm not going to ding them on the food. read more

Good pub fish n chips. Great bar tenders. Nice environment. Love the French Quarter feel. read more

This place is no hipster run of the mill Irish named bar. It is the real deal, unpretentious, authentic and cool. A place to go and talk to the barkeep (who is part owner of the place - Bill was a cool chap), play some darts, and drink plenty of pints of Guinness. The bar may be hard to find, but be brave and head upstairs and find the cozy confines and welcoming atmosphere. You will leave happy and meet some new friends. read more

Belfast Mill Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Small little whole in the wall with good vibes and great music . Prices are fair and the bathroom is clean !

Belfast is the most laid back bar in Charlotte. There is no dress code and everyone is super chill. Play a round of darts, or hang out before going to the Knights game. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring in outside food from the surrounding restaurants. read more

Please be sure to ask the bartender if George from Ohio is the best darts player at the bar

Bartender is an absolute legend. Small place but the aesthetic was one of my favorites for an Irish pub. They had 2 dart boards

Neely, our bartender was absolutely awesome! Even when trying to deal with the extra needy locals, she went out of her way to help. Pub and staff....5 stars. Entitled locals...-1 star. read more

If you like amazing, dark, little Irish style dive bars... this is for you! I went with some friends and they had the NCAA Tournament on, and even though we aren't from the Charlotte area, you immediately feel like you are family in a place like that. Top it off with the cool atmosphere of being on a side street/back alley, and you are set. Go get your Guinness, Magners, or any other drink that is your fancy. JUST GO AND THANK ME LATER! read more

Honestly the coolest spot in charlotte. Shout out Owen. Continuous group effort to please the guest. Every time I walk in I have a beer on my seat by the time I sit down read more

This place is hidden down an alley I would have never found it if I friend had not recommended it to me. It a cute little alley with a few different bars and a pizza place. There are tables all down the street it kind of reminded me of Little Italy in NYC with the exception there's no Italian restaurants. But the ambiance is the same. The bar is a typical dive bar but very fun and nice staff. Drinks were on point and service was good. I would recommend anyone who wants a night cap to come here. Lots of people and fun energy. read more

Cotton room cut me off without even having a beverage, called Belfast and the nice bartender had no choice but to follow. Won't come back!

One of the best bars in the latte arcade area! Highly advise for anyone who wants to relax and get a beer. This place doesn't have food and it isn't the place to come and get a fancy cocktail, but it's the perfect bar to catch up with friends, throw some darts, and just relax. read more

Stumbled upon this great little gem on my way to Hooligan's over the weekend and am I glad I did. Like Todd said, the last thing we needed in town was another cartoonish Irish-themed hellhole. So, when we finally reached the top of the steps, not knowing what the hell we were gonna find, we were very pleasantly surprise to find this little piece of Ireland dead smack in soulless Charlotte downtown area. Nice beer selection but I didn't try the food. Next time for sure. The atmosphere was great and the service incredible. I will definitely be coming back regularly. read more

When I was handed the Irish breakfast wrap it was like that scene in The Lion King where the mandrill lifts the lion cub up to the sky. Or like that hospital scene when I was born where they handed me over to my father. The image I'm trying to conjure up here, people, is that the Irish breakfast wrap is the size and weight of a baby. It makes a Moe's burrito look like a taquito. It is a taste of Ireland wrapped into a huge f'ing tortilla. Upstairs there's Guinness on tap and an abundance of old country accents. The last thing Charlotte needed was another faux Irish pub, so Barry Leeson & Co. brought the real deal to the coolest area of Uptown. read more

Love this little bar. Our bartender Meghan was awesome and we basically had the place to ourselves on a Thursday night (after midnight that is). Great drink specials with a $5 Reyka vodka the night I was visiting. The bar probably only seats 10 people but they have a couple tables to sit outside. This would have been my hangout if it was open when I lived in CLT. I'm a lover of dive bars and this one met all my expectations, dark, small, darts, strong drinks!! They had a great selection of bourbons, though that's not my thing if you like bourbon bars you might want to check this place out. There is quite a bit of construction around this area so it might be a little bit of a cluster to get here. It's also an Irish bar and I've rarely met an Irish bar that I didn't like. Happy to find this whole in the wall, great place to grab some drinks. read more

Great little place making the Brevard Courtyard even more fun! It's open late, with great Guinness. Uptown Charlotte keeps getting better with gems like this popping up. Tommy and Barry are incredible. The food is really good (great fish and chips, and the buffalo chicken sandwich is fantastic). Mostly though, I just love the atmosphere and friendly people. I have brought lots of friends here, and will definitely continue to do so. read more

Another great bar in Brevard Courtyard! The brogues are as plentiful as the Guinness & as previous reviewers said, the breakfast wrap is tasty and no kidding aside, the size of a baby. Barry has created a wonderful little Irish pub reminiscent of the small corner pubs in Ireland. read more

Have been a few times and Matt and Zack have always been great! Super quick to serve and drinks and great and reasonable! Super low key and my favorite place to go!! read more

Yes, I am that girl writing a review of an Irish pub on St. Patrick's Days. No shame cause I didn't come here when the sprawls of bar hoppers were out drinking green dyed beer and green Bud Light cans. Came here on a Friday evening when it was basically dead and fell in love with this place! Side note: I had no idea there was an Upstairs until after I read some of these Yelp reviews. Obviously, we didn't need it. Grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a Guinness and Smithwicks (Smithwicks being my Irish beer of choice and Guinness my husbands). We started talking with the bartender, Eoghan (Irish way of spelling Owen) and learned he was from Dublin. Since we are planning a trip to Ireland in Summer 2017, we got a lot of helpful tips and insights from Owen! I think in the end, I loved the authenticity of this bar. It represents what I think Ireland (soon will find out in reality) is all about. People hanging out, chatting, playing darts, watching sports, etc. No frills. Nothing fancy. Just human interactions. Owen told us the Irish community is pretty strong in Charlotte and it was evident from this bar. read more

Wow, exactly the cool rustic authentic Irish Pub my son and I were looking for after the Panthers game. 4 hours later we felt like we had just a family reunion, exhausted from laughing, meeting new great people and spending time at the end of the bar with the owner and our new friend Barry. We have been to a lot of pubs all over Ireland and this is the real deal! Barry and his beautiful daughter, also Ian, Jonathan and countless others make you feel like family. Go, grab a seat at the bar, let your perfectly poured Guinness settle then enjoy the ambiance of good people and good drink. We live in Florida but look forward to our next trip to Charlotte, as the Belfast Inn will definitely be on our priority list. read more

Below average service and did not know how to pour a Guinness. Murphy's is much better..

Atmosphere is good, but the bartender did NOT pour our Guinness properly. VERY dissatisfied. We left after one drink.

Small little hole-in-the-wall pub for just having a few drinks. We went on a Thursday night around 6, so it wasn't busy.

Sunday night after panthers game. Grabbin a quick bite to eat. Was headed to picassos for the jerk wings and sadly picassos is no longer a charlotte staple. Blueberry chipotle wings at the next open door is the result. Service good. Atmosphere cool stuff and food pretty damn good. Good choice for pre or post game. Cheers! read more

Really enjoy going here after work for cheap drinks. They always have different drink specials and play sports games on their two tvs and big white screen. It's a typical Irish pub, no frills surroundings. It doesn't get too crowded which is always nice. Only minor issue is their bathroom smells like piss, but that's kinda expected at bars. Def recommend this place for hh. read more
