My wife and I attended a screening of Singalong-a-Bohemian Rhapsody and had a marvelous time. Very well organised, drinks in the auditorium and drinks at the interval, all excellently done in a beautiful setting.

Lavery's Bar Belfast

Lavery's is Belfast's oldest family-owned pub, at the heart of the city's social life for almost 100 years. It's a versatile, lively entertainment venue with the charm of a traditional Irish pub. Behind the unassuming street façade lies a grand total of four bars, two roof gardens, a street-level beer garden, an independent off licence and Northern Ireland's largest pool room on the top floor. All of our bars offer something different - whether it be exciting club nights, live music (Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights on the ground-floor), comedy nights or live sport, Lavery's offers something for everyone. Food is available in all of our bars from noon until 10pm (12.30pm-10pm on Sundays).

Visited here by chance during a stay in the Europa so I could watch Ireland beat the All Blacks on Saturday and I have to say I was glad Robinson's refused entry because they were full and security in Brennans recommended here Even though the place was crazy busy the service the staff provided was excellent, friendly and quick. One of my key markers for deciding how good a pub is, is it they can pour and service a good Guinness and am pleased to say here past the test it's only the second bar in Belfast I can say this about If I had one minor quibble was it took my friend 3 times to get the commentary turned up for the irish game instead of having a silent irish game with the commentary for a French game from another TV
