    Waited for 5 minutes with the waiter by my side looking at the phone, sometimes at me, and refusing to attend. Looks like he didn't want me to be there.

    Brilliant wee pub. Stopped here for a drink or 4 and the people inside were amazing. Atmosphere and singer on a Monday night. Tremendous. Hospitality cannot be questioned. Partner given a bowl of Irish stew which was free. Will be back without a doubt

    Lovely space for a modest event. Clean toilets and friendly staff. Upstairs event room is only accessible by a flight of stairs. The downstairs pub is fine.

    We spent a couple of days in Belfast and we ended up spending two evenings in The Rock. The locals were very welcoming and the place was very homely, we had such a great time. Special thanks to the fabulous barman and his son! We'll be back for more, someday!

    Went here on a Sunday afternoon for a beer an wow it was more busy than expected, in a good way thou the atmosphere was great with live Irish music was a cool surprise we stayed for hours longer than intended. Was great, however I wouldn't come here If you are British thou, I had a few convos with a few irish people and they did not like the brits actually felt lucky we are kiwi or it may have been unsafe on rebel night. Anywho was a good night Cheap beers too

  • 4/5 Kelly W. 2 years ago on Google
    Partner brought me here, looking for Rebel Music, but we visited on the wrong day. Discovered after it's not really a tourist bar, but more in the community. Definitely had some locals wondering who we were, but friendly all the same.
