Harp Bar

You'll find this place tucked away on Hill Street in the Cathedral Quarter, where the music starts flowing as readily as the pints. The walls are thick with decades of stories, and you can feel the weight of every session that's happened here - from traditional Irish music to blues and folk acts that have the whole room hanging on every note. The Guinness here is treated with the respect it deserves, and the bar staff know their way around a proper pour. When the music kicks off (which is most nights), you'll understand why musicians from across Ireland and beyond keep coming back. It's not flashy, it doesn't try to be anything other than what it is - a proper Belfast pub where the craic is always good and the music even better.
