American Bar

So good to be back and there’s been changes! A beer garden out the back doubling the space, a kitchen so that they now provide food from 4pm Thursday to Saturdays. Still able to bring our food in from Benny’s Cafe next door. Great pints. Really chatty staff as always and a regular Friday hub for the workers

A real gem within Belfast, a little off the beaten track but you won't be disappointed. Live music at the weekends with food at the rear plus beer garden. Definitely value for money which is hard to find these days and the pints of Guinness are second to none.

The last up on my little sunday crawl led me off the beaten track and down to the dock area to sample this watering hole. Even though coving is covered with football scarves from around the world it doesn’t really give off the “We are a solely a football boozer” and when you walk upstairs you see what else they have to offer. On my visit there were a bunch of young lads who hired the upstairs to play computer games but it also doubles up as a theatre space where @pintsized_productions_ni put on regular shows.

We loved it here! We came for dinner they have food from Thursday to Sunday, if I understand correctly and some drinks. It would be even better, if the kitchen would give real plates and cutlery instead of single-use stuff. But the staff was super cute and they were fine using our lunchbox for the vegan antipasti :- and there are more vegan options available!

What a great place. Upstairs is a small intimate friendly space, ideal for listening to live bands playing righteous sounds. Last week featured the magnificent Villiers and the villains. The perfect venue for a perfect Saturday afternoon scoop or two. Highly recommended. Try the Guinness.

Lovely people, beautiful food, great pints. There was a giant collective pub board game being tested last time I was there. Gegs.

What a find , , , a dear Friend says, "I've been here before, let's try it, cos they serve craft ale" Friday night about 8pm, not too busy and they serve "tapas" til 10pm. On Saturday afternoon there's Blues band upstairs. Nice atmosphere, no bad stuff, mature clientele , , , what's not to like ?

Supper place, food excellent, atmosphere class, good music, paddy Godfrey barman should be playing more. Sorry some staff can miss judge the meaning, but they all do a fantastic job.

We spent over a month travelling through Ireland and the UK and this was one of our favorite bars among many, many. Super friendly atmosphere, music, good food and a great local vibe. Excellent curried chicken pie. It is a little bit out of the way from the downtown hubbub but worth the effort. The quintessential Irish pub!!

We've been to the American Bar before and always enjoyed it. Because the weather has been so hot, the upstairs room where the entertainment is, was just too hot. Also we were sitting on stools which is not comfortable as we both has arthritis in our backs and need a seat with support. We will be back but next time be quicker up the stairs for a seat against the wall
