Garrick Bar

Belfast


First opened in 1870, the Garrick hangs on to a traditional atmosphere with acres of dark-wood panelling, tiled floors, a pillared bar and old brass oil lamps. Snug booths have buttoned leather benches, and each room has a real coal fire. There's live music in the front bar Wednesday to Sunday from 9.30pm.
