    Mo's, meh.

    City centre location? Check. Sells alcoholic beverages? Check. You'd think that would be enough, but even for a 'quick one before the bus' sadly Morrisons just doesn't cut it. Don't get me wrong, it used to be nice, all wood and cosy corners. Then in the 90's it got some sort of ungodly chrome refit, the designers obviously inspired by the ambience of an airport lounge. It wasn't my choice to go here, but as it is beside a friend's work, this is where we went, and as I hadn't been in for years I was hoping for an improvement, and it hadn't. The staff chatted at the end of the bar, one eventually dragging themselves away to unenthusiastically serve us. The whole place had a soulless vibe of a blind date that didn't live up to the online blurb. I love to see the good in everything, so I'll stop moaning with a positive- we got a seat.

    We popped in for a drink after a concert in the Ulster Hall, which was handy enough because all we had to do was navigate our way across the road. We got a bit of a shock because we had grown used to marginally cheaper pints in the Union and the pints here, though pleasant, were £3.00 which doesn't seem like much but when you have alot and then buy rounds, it gets quite steep. The pub was friendly, though the vodka and red bull burnt a hole in my friend's pocket. Overall is was good but I don't think we will ever use this place as a first stop for a night out. Still good tho

    Morrisons is a great pub which effortlessly mixes the old and traditional with the new and funky. The have two bars over two floors and while downstairs host the traditional bar upstairs hosts the cocktail bar...my favourite! The staff here are well trained and really know how to make a great cocktail! The atmosphere here is really great, its welcoming, warm and really laid back! I love popping in here after the cinema which is just a stones throw away on the Dublin road or even after a nice pizza in pizza express next door. Morrisons is a great place to start your night out and it never feels like a cattle mart at the weekend like a lot of other bars in Belfast.

    This place is really popular and always seems to be busy and have something going on. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been in here, either for a quick pint before a gig(Ulster Hall just over the way) or the cinema or lurking around late at night on a bit of a session with a larger group. The bar just seems to have the right mix of people, the right bar staff and the right approach to things. For example the music is never too loud in the bar or when there's sports on it never gets too rowdy. Anyway, it's definitely a bit of an 'everyman' pub, most people I know love it but it's certainly not the first name mentioned when you think of somewhere to have a big night out. Pros: Great staff, nice atmosphere. Cons: Might be a tad bland for some.

    Its location is brilliant, just opposite the BBC and a big cinema and right beside Pizza Express.

    On our last day in Belfast, I said I need to experience dining in or have a drink at The Crown Bar…read more I was lucky enough to get a reservation at the dining room upstairs. The ground floor bar area was packed and busy! It was a good vibes. We sat and had dinner in a quiet setting upstairs. We enjoyed our food and drinks. My margarita was delicious. The lamb irish stew was yummy, finished it. It was a great experience!

    I wanted a place where I could try multiple classic traditional Irish dishes, and I found this…read moreplace - a very popular spot! During the time I visited, it wasn't very packed so I was seated swiftly. The kind staff accommodated my request to get a corner table. The vibe can be describe is a classic. I really enjoyed all the dark stained wood furniture - gave it such an "old Irish saloon" vibe...maybe because it is haha. I did not have much time to spend in Belfast, so I tried to taste as many traditional dishes as possible with being just one person. With that being said, I ordered a few of their notable dishes - Crown Bar Irish Stew, Steak & Ale Pie, and to finish it off, the Sticky Toffee Pudding served with both the custard and ice cream (really thankful the server offered to give me two toppings, and they were both delicious). All the dishes were great, and are definitely hearty. The stew as well as the pie filling had a rich roux - nice, thick and flavorful. I will say, the pie pastry was not as flaky as I would have liked it; kind of too thick. Overall, it was a great taste of Ireland

    This would probably be my favourite bar in Belfast. I'm not quite the party animal I used to be…read moreback in the olden days, but I do like a night out from time to time, and Katy's is right up our street in terms of the crowd that go there, the music they play, and the general ambiance. They are in a handy city centre position and can be easily reached from anywhere in the city centre. If you're not drinking, there is parking right out the front (if you get there early enough!) if not there are plenty of side streets too! For weekend visiting, be sure to get there before 7-ish, or you may find that you won't get a seat, although it does calm down later on in the night when the Limelight opens and some of the patrons move next door to the club. I must make a point of going back to Katy's soon, it's been too long!

    I have travelled a fair bit in my time. Unkind people tend to put it as I've been around a bit, but…read moreI prefer to think of it as romantic wanderlust. Anyway, apart from the wonderful Public Bar in Melbourne, and possibly Dubliners in Tokyo (actually no, their Guinness is questionable and their 'soda bread' is in fact wheaten), Katy Daly's is my all time favourite bar in the world. This says quite a lot if, like me, you fled screaming from these shores at the first possible opportunity and spent several years abroad. But I've come to realise on my frequent returns, to sign on, that Belfast is actually quite a cool wee city. And Katy Daly's is one of the main experiences for me that encompasses that vibe. Imagine my shame and horror last year in Australia when one of the lead items on the news was the spides in the Village burning the Roma population out of the area. And when any July overseas the pictures beamed in from Belfast are of riots, bottle-throwing spides and triumphalist sweaty-faced Orangemen doing their damnedest to make sure no-one can get down the Lisburn Road. 'Belfast isn't like that!' I'd wail to anyone who'd listen, and plenty who wouldn't. 'Look at Katy's for example!' A rock bar with great music both live and on the jukebox, an unpretentious and friendly crowd, the best pub quiz I've ever been to (yes, even better than Melbourne's), friendly staff who remember your usual (ahem), and good food at good prices, makes Katy's a must visit for any tourist who thinks Belfast is all burning buses and bodhráns. Oh, and most unusually, and welcome, for an average city bar - the ladies are normally outnumbered by the men. Most of whom are of an alternative ilk and not decked out in Ben Sherman and Timberlands, and therefore are generally gentlemanly instead of trying to cop a quick grope as you go past them on the way to the loos (Bot, I'm looking at you). Many of them are long-haired and tattooed to boot. Yummies. In fact, I'm sitting in Katy's right now writing this. Goddesses bless mobile broadband.
