Hi, anyone here from Belfast and know of decent pubs/venues where they play live Irish music?

I go often Jennyjoan, mainly the north area of Northern Ireland, my daughter wants to go to meet family but also wants to go to Belfast city to see their culture including live Irish type music etc.

Are you in NI?

[JinnyJoan]

I do live in Belfast Pegasus - did have a wonderful social life as the entertainment not only encompasses all the places in town but when I was young there were loads of wee locals to go to and also the punters were wonderful singers - in my day I probably went out 5 nights a week - don't know how I done a day's work but I did and I had to bus it 4 times a day.   But I'd do it all over again.  But with the bombs all over the place I had to walk it home in "stilettos" buses were hijacked etc.  If I knew then what I know now I would have bought a ladies scooter - sister went mad and said "you would have been soaked to the knickers, I don't care I'd got to work with ease   LOL

Haha, Jinnyjoan, sounds like you had a real wild time in Belfast. I love the place and the people and hope to move there in the next 6 years. 

 

I was last there at the begininging of Demember and dragged into watching the Glentoran v Linfield footy game (I don't follow football) and ended up in the Ulster Rangers Supporters club on the Shankill Road!!

 

The next night a group of Belfast lads told us one of the best pub/clubs to go to was the Union Street Bar, and took us over an hour to realise they had deliberately sent us to a gay club, which, according to doorstaff is what they do to groups of English out on the town  :)

yes that happened to me and my friend - we had had a meal and stayed on and it was a gay night and it was simply wonderful - brilliant craic and friendliness.

I've also been invited to go to the insanely huge bonfire night in Craigy Hill, Larne mid-July but will prob visit before then.
