Post House

Situated along the renowned Malone Road, Post House immerses itself in the storied history of Belfast's beloved thoroughfare. With roots tracing back to the 19th century, Malone Road has been a witness to the city's transformation, showcasing its graceful Victorian architecture and evolving into a vibrant centre for culture and commerce.

This establishment was formerly a Post House, founded in 1898 and crafted by the local architectural firm E. & J. Byrne. Picture it as a dual-purpose hub, serving as both the Post Office and the primary local taxi service during its era.

In 2023, it has now been reopened, ushering in the next chapter of Post House history.




My experience here was one I was very fond off, from cheap and delicious pints to also and array of big screens suitably placed to make sure at any seat you can see a piece of the action. As well as this, when visiting the Post House we where welcomed in with live music night with a great acoustic performance which when hand in hand with the pints.

Although it is situated outside city-centre it is a perfect spot for especially students living around the Queens Quarter. Despite appearing as a high-end establishment, its 20% student discount serves competition to the neighbouring Queens Student Union Bar and the Botanic Inn.

Overall, I found The Post House to be great spot if you are visiting or living in the surrounding area.

The Sunflower

Image
  In December 2012, the Sunflower Public House opened its doors at the intersection of Kent Street and Union Street, a location with a century-long history of housing public houses. Nestled just behind the Belfast Central Library and within a stone's throw (a familiar unit of measurement in Belfast) of prominent institutions like The Belfast Telegraph, The Irish News, and the University of Ulster, Sunflower is a modest corner pub. Its distinctive feature is the security cage adorning its front door, a remnant from 1980s Belfast. Although no longer necessary for security purposes, the cage has been retained and preserved, serving as a tangible piece of the city's social history.                        After my first experience at the Sunflower I knew instantly to make a post on it. This pub had so many reasons as to why you should visit it from the amazing food to the welcoming and friendly staff. It was recently that I cam...

Kelly Cellars

Image
Kelly Cellars is synonymous around Belfast for the fact that some people believe it is the true oldest pub in Belfast as these people would say a tavern is not a pub. Kelly Cellars was built on March 14, 1720,  situated at 30 Bank Street in the city centre. Kelly Cellars   provides pub food and traditional music sessions. It remains resolutely old-fashioned as it has a v aulted ceiling with an elbow-worn bar which as u can picture is always crammed. In terms of my experiences within Kelly Cellars I could write about it for days. One of my favourite experiences at Kelly Cellars was going their to watch the rugby in the six nations where Ireland where playing England, it helped the experience that Ireland won the game, but the main reason  why i loved this experience was down to friendly the staff and customers where which helped in creating the perfect atmosphere. The drinks in Kelly Cellars I also found where some of the best quality I have had. When going to Kelly Cellar...
