About This Pub

Ah, Times Bar, tucked away on York Road in Belfast – it's one of those places that just draws you in with its welcoming charm. From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel at ease, and the locals are up for a good chat and some banter, which really makes for a brilliant atmosphere. You'll find decent beers and drinks without breaking the bank, and they've got live sports on the big screens, plus live music and karaoke nights that keep things buzzing. The pool table and dart board are spot on for a bit of friendly competition, and it's clear they're all about supporting the community with events and local teams. On the flip side, it might not be the best fit if you're not local, as it has that tight-knit feel that could make newcomers hesitate at first. Also, the hours can be a bit unpredictable, and if you're hoping for a full meal, you'll probably have to look elsewhere since it's more focused on drinks and vibes. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening – I'd say pop in if you're after good company and a laugh, but keep in mind it might not tick every box for a more varied night out.

Pros and Cons

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.

Cons
  • It might feel a bit too community-focused if you're just passing through and not from the area, so it could take a moment to settle in.
  • The operating hours seem to vary a tad, which might catch you out if you're planning a late one.
  • There's no mention of food options beyond drinks, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere.
