About This Pub

Ah, the King Richard Tavern – it's one of those unpretentious spots in Belfast that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From the reviews, it's clear folks love the fabulous atmosphere; it's warm and homely, making it ideal for sinking into a comfy corner with a pint and catching up with friends. The staff really shine too, always friendly and ready to lend a hand or share a laugh, which adds to that welcoming feel. Plus, there's a good pool table for a bit of fun, and it's conveniently placed near the city centre, so it's dead easy to get to. On the flip side, the beer choices are pretty straightforward – nothing wrong with that, but if you're in the mood for something more exciting, you might find it lacking. And it's a pity about the limited opening days; it seems like it's not always around when you fancy a visit, which could put a dampener on spontaneous plans. All in all, it's a solid choice for a genuine pub experience, but it's best to keep expectations realistic for what it offers.

Basic choice of beers but great service and atmosphere. It's a proper old school pub. Nothing fancy but real pub for real people.
