3. Voodoo

If you like a bit of rock n roll between buying shampoo in boots and bra’s in Primark then this is your place. A wild west saloon meets a New Orleans Voodoo shop, this is an intimate bar where you can sit by the window and watch the world go by. They have a decent selection of beers and usually a few offers on both food and drink.

4. Kelly’s Cellars

Located just down the side street of Tesco and across the road from the award winning Mourne Seafood restaurant, this is a great spot for some more traditional Norn Irish boozing. Expect low ceilings, Irish music and the best hot toddy in Belfast city centre!  This Christmas they’re also boasting a Christmas tree made out of Jawbox gin bottles that has to be seen to be believed!

5. The Harp Bar

Based in the ever-expanding Cathedral Quarter, this is an ode to the original Harp Bar that was featured in the “Good Vibrations” film. The Harp bar has music on 7 nights week and the interior is very decadent indeed. There’s loads of room and the staff are always friendly, this is probably a good place to finish off for the day. Just don’t forget to take all your shopping bags with you when you leave!
