Worked up in Belfast for a year during covid and this was definitely the best pint in Belfast. We drank here a lot and found the staff very friendly. Well worth a visit if you're a Guinness drinker 👍

[@Ironskillet]

Much respect for this Belfast pub. Much love from this longtime tavernkeeper in Saint Louis Missouri USA

[@marczero16]

I'd consider myself a regular here and it definitely is the best Guinness in the city, I laugh anytime I see people posting hate on the place... I've even heard people say I can't believe I'm not allowed to stand but when you're there and it's full, you'll get it and it's understandable why table service only... The staff are always 100% Nice one for doing this video.

People are so sensitive. I've been in here a load of times over the years. Had a chat with this guys myself and he's a nice guy, also serves a great pint!

I'll bet that's why he refused Van Morrison.

An utter halfw1 t on that score

[@franciemclaughlin]

Was a great visit. My friend thinks my mother's bar in Donegal does a better pint.

[@barneygribbin3161]

I love Bittles. If you are lucky to be there when its quite, which isn't often take a look at the art. Some great pieces.

[@stephenmcsherry9935]

The man is a charmless ignoramus who treats his customers like rubbish. Why anyone would hand their hard earned money to him is beyond me.

[@Oddly1970]

Murphy’s is a lot nicer than Guinness

[@deanodog3667]

OK lolololol

[@Ohhinthenameofgoodfuck]

If it was the last bar in Belfast
I’d be teetotal.
