Gallahers Bar Belfast

You're walking into Cityside Mall on York Street and climbing those stairs to find exactly what you'd hope for: a proper local's bar where nobody's pretending to be anything they're not. Gallahers does what it does brilliantly—it shows the football, the rugby, the boxing, whatever's on—and the crowd's here for the sport and the company, not for Instagram moments. It's the kind of place where regulars have their spots and the banter flows as freely as the Guinness. The setup's unpretentious; think worn wooden tables, plenty of screens, and enough space to actually move around without spilling your pint on someone's trainers.
