The Longfellow Bar in Belfast

Ah, The Longfellow Bar – it's one of those places that just warms you up from the moment you step in. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are absolute stars, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone feels welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick pint or staying for the quiz. It's got that genuine community feel, where you can relax with a book, play some pool, or catch live music like the Chris Taplin band – sounds like there's always something buzzing on. The prices are spot on too, and folks rave about the Guinness, saying it's the best they've had in ages. On the downside, their website's a right mess at the moment, so you might struggle to get the lowdown online before heading over, and it does come across as very neighbourhood-focused, which could feel a tad exclusive if you're not a regular. Still, with a solid 4.7 rating from heaps of happy visitors, it's well worth a visit for a proper, down-to-earth night out in Belfast – I'd say give it a go and see for yourself!
