Looking for the best place for a Guinness? Belfast has a thriving traditional pub scene, and with it comes a host of places where you’ll find a top quality pint of Ireland’s favourite drink.
An expertly-poured pint of Guinness is as much a part of the Belfast experience as our world-class attractions, live music and warm hospitality. Though it might find its home in Dublin, Guinness is as popular in Belfast and Northern Ireland as it is across the rest of the island.
The famous stout is brewed in 49 countries, including the Republic of Ireland, which many claim is what gives it a superior taste here on the Emerald Isle compared to anywhere else.
