 Cafe society has arrived |
Donegall Square West Belfast BT1 6JA United Kingdom +44 28 9050 9777 http://www.apartmentbelfast.com/ |
Cafe society seems to have finally made up its mind to settle in Belfast. The latest manifestation of its residence—the Apartment, it's a hugely successful new business venture on Donegall Square West, in view of the City Hall. The Apartment consists of three bars on two floors, a fine contemporary restaurant upstairs and lunchtime dining downstairs. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Live Irish Bands |

This bar is designed in the classical gothic style. Located close to Belfast's landmarks, shops and nightlife, it has wide marble arches, a wide balcony, and high-backed seating that can easily manage 500 customers. This neo-gothic place has a restaurant upstairs and offers promotions and prizes every M-W. Catch the best Irish bands live on the same days and if you are lucky you will be served complimentary tapas between 9-10p! The DJ plays only on the weekends. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Irish Bar with Timeless Appeal |
46 Great Victoria St Belfast BT2 7BA United Kingdom +44 28 9024 9476 http://www.belfasttelegraph.co... |
The Crown Bar, situated in a prime location on the Golden Mile, is one of the jewels in Belfast's entertainment domain. The look of the place imitates that of an old Wild West saloon. Rays of sun come from Victorian etched-windows and the old gas lamps lends a 19th century charm to the place. It is the most famous bar in Ulster and has had the honor of withstanding 42 bombs attacks. The most attractive feature though, are the wood panelled partitions that give drinkers some privacy to enjoy their poison. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Traditional Irish Pub |
51 Donegall Street Belfast BT1 2FH United Kingdom +44 28 9023 3768 http://www.thejohnhewitt.com/ |
Recently opened in the Cathedral Quarter, the John Hewitt Bar is the latest pull for the discerning Belfast punter and is hugely popular. Try out their wonderful gourmet lunches, their evenings of live traditional music, their acclaimed jazz sessions, or just come to pull on a pint and admire the fine examples of paintings by renowned Irish artists that complement the tasteful décor. Named after the Belfast poet and socialist, John Hewitt, this bar is owned by the centre for the unemployed next door. Interesting conversation is guaranteed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Landmark on the Belfast drinking map |
12-16 Bradbury Place Belfast BT7 1RR United Kingdom +44 28 9087 1106 |
A firm favourite with students. If you are not from Belfast you are assured engaging company at Lavery's. The Bottom Bar plays host to local storytellers and hidden at the back is "The Cobbles", a smaller bar that has live bands playing three nights a week. The middle bar attracts a younger drinker, background noise consists of funk, soul and commercial chart. The decor is New Age and shiny but nowhere near the tempestuousness of the Attic Club's on the third floor. Florescent, gyrating figures adorn these walls where music is geared towards the clubbing student. Be prepared to pay a door fee to bouncers after 10:30p. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The coolest club in town |
10 Tomb St 2 Lower Crescent Belfast BT1 3AS United Kingdom +44 28 9033 0220 http://www.clubmilk.com |
Caught between the Waterfront and the Cathedral Quarter areas of the city - Milk's location couldn't be more fortuitous: trendy but not obvious enough to forego being discovered. Entertainment seven nights a week includes a Gay Night - "Forbidden Fruit" on Mondays, which plays host to excellent live acts and cabaret. Residents include Andy Ward, Alan Simms, ASHA, Steve Sutherland and Jeremy B. Admission: £4-£10 and you should avoid dressing overly casual. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Belfast's socialist realist experience |
2 Bridge Street Belfast BT1 1LU United Kingdom +44 28 9050 9888 http://www.thenorthernwhig.com/ |
Three two-ton sandstone statues commissioned to celebrate the October 1917 Russian revolution and hailing from the Prague Communist party headquarters dominate the floor of the Northern Whig - Belfast's latest and most ambitious cafe bar experiment. Besides a mesmerizing fish tank built into one wall, the Whig offers everything from morning coffee and pastries, to lunch, dinner, classic black and white movies and a cocktail menu four pages long.

Hoppin' Club |
Patterson's Place Belfast BT1 4HW United Kingdom +44 28 9032 3762 http://www.clubthompsons.com |
A popular club located in the city centre with a very swanky, chandelier-adorned interior on two floors, and an equally swanky looking clientele. Weekends are a seriously housie event here at Thompson's with celebrity DJs hitting the decks on both Friday and Saturday nights. On Sundays you can re-live all your old club-time favourites with Faith, but be warned: strict-ish dress codes apply at all events so dress to impress. Check out the website for latest gigs.
