The surrounding bars are all excellent - I made a point of testing them all for my lifetime research project! Belfast is an amazing city that is still coming to terms with it's Visitor attraction status and is doing it brilliantly. Fascinating and beautiful city with true phoenix from the flames tales to tell.
