About This Pub

Right, so I've been having a look at An Síbín in Belfast, and from what I've gathered from the reviews, it's one of those places that really hits the spot for a proper night out. Most folks are raving about the live music – Aidan's chuffed about the talented musicians and the incredible energy, while Jo from Cardiff stumbled upon a brilliant duo on guitar and fiddle who knew how to get the crowd going. It's clear this spot does live Irish tunes proud, with that old-school cultural charm and a selection of local drinks that make you feel like you're right in the heart of it all. The staff get a big thumbs up too; Gunjan and Frenchie both mentioned how wonderful they are, greeting you with a smile and making sure you're settled in nicely. All in all, with a solid 4.4 rating, it's got that welcoming community feel that makes for great memories. But, to be fair, there was that one review from Bernie back in 2020 highlighting some lapses in social distancing and face coverings during a packed night – a bit of a downer, especially if you're mindful of such things. Still, most recent chatter is positive, so if you're up for some traditional fun in Belfast, I'd say give it a go, just keep an eye on the vibe when you pop in.
