Really enjoyed the bar and the area. Have to remember that they don't take tips anywhere in Ireland or North Ireland. I kept telling the bartender to keep it (I'd hand him a 20 for 18 bucks of booze) and he'd just walk away - no acknowledgement or anything. Were able to try some good whiskey's here including A Friend in Hand whiskeys (this is an amazing whiskey store just down the street). The whole time we were there we got no rain (same as our first time) so we sat outside a lot, people had cute pups out there. Super nice. Didn't know UK stuff was on yelp, hope to leave a few good reviews here.

I highly recommend making a reservation for dinner and requesting a table upstairs. Upstairs was much quieter and made for a calm dining experience. The Steak and Guinness Pie was absolutely delicious and easily one of the best meals on the trip. Everything tasted fresh and was beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is full of history and charm, making it much more than just a place to eat. Also, I recommend the apple pie for dessert. The apples are grown in Armagh.

It was a bit rainy outside so the bartender apologized that it was a sitting bar and we couldn't be served inside and seemed surprised when we said we were fine to drink outside. Canadians, eh? It didn't end up being for very long anyways as the bartender came and grabbed us as soon as he saw someone leave. Very nice staff. And it was a really good Guinness, though somewhat expensive.

I think it stems from his refusal to serve half-pints--which I didn't even know was a thing--but you can't ignore the fact that Bittles Bar is a beautifully iconic pub. The building reminds me of NYC's Flatiron building, with its streamlined but cozy interior. The pubs walls are covered in local history; it really is like stepping back in time. And of course, the Guinness is delicious and certainly worthy of a full pint. Another plus in Bittles favor is that it has a nice selection of bar swag. The shirts and hats are really worth every penny, and you are bound to wow friends and family back home when you sport a hat that proudly proclaims: "No Half Pints"

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.

Being gluten-free is always a challenge, but boy, was I lucky when I stepped into this lovely tavern. They had several options for me, and the food was outstanding, the location was lovely, and the service was on point. On top of it, they served me an incredible basket of gluten-free bread. It took me back to the normal days when a lovely loaf of bread was set at the table with some nice butter. I felt like my allergy did not exist. If you're in the Belfast area, please don't miss White's Tavern, because their Irish stew is something you can't miss. It made me feel like a child again, eating my mother's homemade Irish stew.
