Whites Tavern & The Oyster Rooms
Description
Whites Tavern & The Oyster Rooms was established back in 1630 making it the oldest tavern in Belfast. Enjoy locally sourced, authentic Irish food alongside great drinks and live music.
Belfast’s first tavern license was granted in 1630 to the building where Whites now stands, making it the oldest of its kind in Belfast.
The building has a great depth and history, from housing the Tavern as we know it, to a hotel and also many wine and spirit merchants. It is said that the Bateson family established the first wine and spirit store in Winecellar Entry.
In 1868, the establishment known as The Oyster Rooms was born. Proprietor John Walker, a fish monger and spirit merchant by trade set up shop in Winecellar Entry. Fished from the loughs of Belfast and Carlingford, he became known for his supply of quality oysters to the city.
Now re-born with the history at heart The Oyster Rooms is a place to eat, socialise and enjoy live music. Open seven days a week, call in for Guinness how it should be!
