Easily the best pub on my visit.
Nothing in the way of real ales but the best collection of Irish Whiskies I have seen. Complete with a menu.
Many are labelled NFS - meaning not for sale. An indication of their rarity.
The loudest American I have ever met was banging on about his first real Guinness. It may have been his last, as he was annoying everyone.

Another very attractive and interesting pub, tucked away down an alley, worthy of a visit for the interior décor alone. Far more spacious than it looks, with plenty of room. Good ales and well-kept Guinness; very acceptable Sauv Blanc for my wife. Well worth incorporating into a mini pub crawl of the immediate area. Scary array of Irish Whiskey from the sublime to the ridiculous - over £100 for a measure in one case! The alley outside must get rammed in the summer but it was pleasantly quiet on an October Sunday afternoon.

Must disagree with previous reviewers, this place sucks. No ales, rude bitch behind the bar and the stench of cleaning fluid was overpowering to say the least. A shame really!

One of my favourite pubs i visited over the 3 days in Belfast,the service was friendly,the clientele were friendly aswell. The whole pub is covered ceiling to floor in memrobelia and various "fascinating clutter",and the Guinness is perfect,much more of a "Must Do" than the touristy crown i would say! 9/10

One of the best spots in Belfast

Another 'must visit' in Belfast. Great pub, great atmosphere. Good beer.

Wins hands down in the �how much breweriana you can display in a pub� competition. There are old photos, beer trays, mirrors, adverts and a plethora of old Guinness and Watney Red Barrel promotional material. There is so much that items are even fixed flat to the ceiling to make more room. It looks like the interior has had some recent work done although it still has an aged look with lots of wooden fixtures, exposed brickwork and flagstone floors. There�s a nice four person snug with closable doors at the back. Bit of a shame about the plasma TV but it wasn�t that intrusive. The pub has a very attractive old looking exterior and is tucked away down one of Belfast�s many difficult to find alleyways, Commercial Court that runs between Donegall St and Henry St in the Cathedral Quarter. Very close to the John Hewitt.

Simply great bar. Narrow, but long room downstairs with a side room which is opened in the evenings. A lot of pine. Third room upstairs used as a disco.
Really nice for an afternoon session, when it isn't too busy. Also good in the evening, but it does get PACKED Thursday to Saturday nights - although the side room can help you avoid this. Don't be surprised if you can't get in after 10.30pm.
As has been said, loads and loads of whisky and whiskey, Including Dunville's and another brand in giant glass dispensers in the side room. Also the Guinness is really good here.
Complete mix of people. Everyone welcome, never any bad atmosphere and friendly staff. It is just an excellent establishment.
Not too easy to find, but definitely worth the effort.

Staggering range of whiskies, huge collection of original pub memorabilia/old whiskies/beermats/local football programmes. Very popular bar, packed most nights. Nice layout, tucked down one of the old city alleys, but easy to find...and hard to leave.

claim to fame as the bar Gerry Adam once worked in

Great if you like drinking average beer out of plastic cups.
