The Royal in Belfast

Ah, The Royal in Belfast – it's one of those pubs that really stands out for all the right reasons, based on what folks are saying. From the reviews, it sounds like a proper gem with a welcoming crowd and that unbeatable sense of community; you know, where you can pop in for a pint and end up chatting away with the regulars. The Guinness gets high praise, and at an inexpensive price, it's ideal for a laid-back evening without breaking the bank. They're open seven days a week, often till the wee hours, which is brilliant for those impromptu plans. But, to be fair, not every visit is perfect – one person mentioned feeling a bit out of place, like it might be more for the locals, so it could depend on the day or the crowd. Still, with a solid 4.5 rating from plenty of happy visitors, I'd say it's worth giving it a go if you're after a genuine pub experience in Belfast. Just keep an eye out for that friendly vibe and you'll likely have a top night!
