Ah, The Points in Belfast – it's one of those places that really pulls you into the heart of Irish culture, isn't it? Picture this: you're settled in with a pint of Guinness poured just right, surrounded by the sounds of live traditional music that plays every single night, drawing you in for a proper singalong or a toe-tap. The whiskey and ale choices are brilliant, offering something for everyone whether you're a seasoned drinker or just dipping your toes in. That open fire adds such a cosy touch, making it feel like a proper hideaway on a damp evening, and from what I've gathered from chats with others, the staff are usually spot on with their service, keeping things flowing smoothly. It's got that spacious layout too, with nooks for groups or a spot at the bar if you're up for mingling. But, let's be honest, it's not all rosy – there've been a few grumbles about one manager being a bit sharp with folks, which can sour the experience if you're unlucky enough to cross paths. And the women's toilets? Well, they're a bit of a letdown, all broken and grubby, which takes the shine off things a tad. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.4, it's clear most people have a whale of a time here. If you're heading out for some authentic Irish craic, I'd say give it a go, but maybe keep an eye on the time of week and have a backup plan for any off moments. All in all, it's a solid spot that does the traditions proud, with just a few rough edges that could use polishing.
