Joey's Bar

Pub

👍👍 As a keen motorcyclist and having followed Joey Dunlop since I saw him at the TT races back at the end of the 70's, there is no way I could go to Northern Ireland on my holidays and not visit Joeys Bar!! (It has the best tasting Guinness we found in Northern Ireland... honest!??!) If you are a keen...

The Crown & Shamrock Inn

Pub

👍👍 Cosy little traditional Irish pub on the outskirts of Belfast, showing live sports and hosting great Trad sessions! It serves one of the best pints of Guinness you'll find on this island. A bold claim yes, but not wrong.

The Cove Bar

Pub

👍👍 I'm from the US, but stopped in here a few years ago while walking across Ireland. The owners and bartender treated me like I was family. Supplying me with drinks, food, and a place to sleep. I visited 10 countries, hiked over 4000 miles, and cycled 2500 on that trip. When people ask me my favorite...

Matties Meeting House

Pub

👍 The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to my family (4 adults and 2 toddlers) they made the kids feel special and seen! I loved this. My food was good, but not extremely memorable. The meal did take a while to come to the table, but I can overlook all of this due to how accommodating and...

The Glencloy Inn

Pub

👍 Lovely wee restaurant and lovely staff. Clean and quiet. From outside I thought I'd be walking into a dark and dingy pub where I might get a few dodgy looks from the locals (I feel I've had that a fair bit touring round Donegal). But....this place was perfect for stopping in for a bite to eat while...
