That ad was mega 👏👏👏
🤣 cheers pal
Does bangin mean good? thanks from NZ
Bro went to every Loyalist pub in the city and wonders why he can't find Murphy's😂
Because Murphy's is shit 😅
Do you even get Murphy's on pump anywhere in Belfast? I thought it was more a Southern, or specifically Cork thing. I know a lot of people see Guinness as the embodiment of Irishness, but in reality, wasn't Arthur Anglo-Irish and very prejudiced against the native Dublin Irish Catholics. I think you couldn't work at Guinness if you were Catholic until maybe the 1960s.. in fact, I think you even got sacked if you were a Protestant who married a Catholic.
@@samwallace7313 Except it’s not. At all.
You would even struggle to find Murphy's on tap in Dublin. It's more of a Cork/Kerry thing. Lovely stout though.
@@blackcats3951 each to their own tbh, I don't like it others do.
It’s only “rough” because of the history and the fears/prejudices of people who live here. If you’d went to the Falls Road you would have got the same warm welcome even in the dingiest spots. Avoid politics and it’s rare you’ll get hassle in any bar. Thanks for visiting!
Facts!. 99.9% of people are great decent hard working caring people. im from the falls. Like most political conflicts it all started from bronze-age god beliefs that have festered through every country in the world. these then became political and powe rbased. the science age is slowly changing things. I grew up catholic like someone who grew up on the shankill protestant. im 41 but the younger ones on both sides grow up able to think for themselves and realise that theres no difference. we are all just humans. Thanks for coming to belfast!!
@@joshuahowie1863 English chap here. Been to Belfast a fair few times now, usually make a point of going every year for 9 days plus. Have literally walked/staggered the length and breadth of the city, and can honestly say I've done pubs and clubs from Andersontown to East Belfast and the far north of the city right down to Ballynafeigh. Never had any grief whatsoever. I love the warm hospitable people who make me feel welcome, and I've met my fair share of fantastic chaps from both sides of the "fence". Like most places I guess if you avoid being a tw@t you'll live to tell the tale!
@@BelfastManUtdTherapyI have relatives in Derry and have passed through Belfast many times on my way there after travelling over from Liverpool on the boat. I will make a point of stopping in Belfast next time. Good post but must admit i'm not too keen on your profile name. Lol.
@@first4wins192i take it your a liverpool fan then lol its all good. Honestly you should stop in belfast sometime on your travels and do a pub crawl. belfast is a different place now than it used to be 20-30 years ago!
As a Catholic just in the southern side of the border, i think if I went into any of the bars in the shankhill road I'd not feel particularly safe with my accent, but that's not me being prejudice as I'm honestly not. But I know if a Protestant went into a Catholic bar they'd feel the exact same. Which is a shame as end of day we are all just the same people when you take religion and politics out of it. I don't see things changing anytime soon though unfortunately as you have idiots on both sides who continue to keep that hatred and bigotry alive.

I’m Northern Irish currently living in Yorkshire, this was a great video to watch and one thing I miss about back home is how friendly we are, hope you enjoyed your visit 🤙🏻
True mate, very chilled vibe, loved it
Just hope and pray you get over , ever deciding to settle in Yorkshire 🤭🤭🤭
You always miss that when you leave Ireland. Something is missing, it's a hole that wells up in the soul.
Your Irish you mean
He’s like an upbeat Carl pilkington
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 nailed
But unlike Carl , he ain't obsessed with splitting the "G"
Whatever the Fuck that is 🤔🤔🤔
@@Theoriginalbigbrilloclues in the name pal. Play a record, you're an idiot
@Theoriginalbigbrillo splitting the g is taking a huge first gulp so that the remaining pint lines up up in the middle of the g on the glass
My mrs is from N Ire , been to belfast many times .
Bloody great place to visit .
Never had a problem with anyone in Belfast , great people .
Great place too shop in the centre , real solid people salt of the earth .The Crown is a great place to go , when its quiet .
Real history .
100% true mate
The Crown is great 4 the decor, done by Italian joiners when moonlighting but overrated pub, Duke of York and whites tavern far better
we are great. lol its just some support liverpool still..... oj the past is behind us, belfast is on the up!
@@BelfastManUtdTherapy Agreed.................................👍👍👍
If I was in the Crown right now, I think Bass from cask would be my choice.
absolutely smashing these videos out mate absolute quality as usual happy days
Cheers pal, really appreciate it
My dad was called James Fee from the Shankill. Apparently he used to sing in the pubs there back in the day. In fairness the Shankill Road people will not treat you bad unless you get nasty. Same as in any nationalist area. Key thing is respect and you can go where you like.
Yeh mate, act fine you'll be treated fine 👍
@@ManannanmacLir69 what songs did he sing Brother 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@alanholgate3442 I have no recordings but he wasn't political apparently. He did however claim to be a reincarnated German soldier and they had a piss up for him when he died in the Berlin bar. So guessing in the genre of that great German song Erika maybe?
@@alanholgate3442he sang tunes like “come out ye Black and Tans” and “go on home British soldiers” …a few like that. He was brilliant, they loved him in the shankhill
@@meandu2-fh8jr Lol 😂
Looking forward to part 2. There is a part 2 right?
For balance and full story telling 😂
That street opposite Blinkers is North Street, 10-20 years ago it was a bustling street with an arcade which burnt down in 2004, the Main Street had pet shops, book shops, collectable shops, a country pursuits shop, hectors house record shop, travel agents, insurance brokers etc, now it's totally derelict apart from a pub down near the bottom, utterly shameful what the local council let it deteriorate into.
Titanic slipway is still there and the Thomspon Drydock were it sat is just down throat from Titanic Belfast at the pump house.
All the pubs in Belfast pour a good Guinness but fealtys in bangor is another level..two taps,one room temp and other cold.
World class.
Proper consistent over there init!
@@honestplaces They're consistent because Guinness has a team of people that clean the lines, calibrate the nitrogen taps & train bartenders how to do it properly.
Also more people drink it so it's fresh.
Pour a bad pint of stout & you might as well shut down the shop ?
@@honestplaces Yes next time you need to hit uo Bangor and call into Fealtys. The pub hasn't had room in the cold room for the Guinness line, so the keg is under the bar and pours slow. Bullhouse East a craft beer ta\proom in Belfast, did have Beamish for a while. Hard to find, Murphys even harder.
no one drinks Guinness at room temperature. End of.
If you want to try Guinness, Murphys and Beamish and interesting pubs, I'd recommend visiting Cork city.
Place is a republican dump full of druggies and tramps.
An Teach Beag Cork is a great little spot. I would've said The Lobby Bar but that one closed down the last time i checked.
I stayed on the Upper Newton Ards Road during the last years of the troubles! Never had any issues with anyone! Good people for sure ! Friendly and welcoming!
Twelve hour days (ma baws) working in the shipyards…
Just a small correction it’s Upper Newtownards Road.
@@stewartgrindlay9760 Thanks! So long ago! Still good stay at the Girton Lodge Hotel ?
@@senianns9522 excellent. What year where you here

As always, awesome vid! I love seeing Belfast (and other places) through your lens :) That last pub was beautiful! What a cool place to have a drink!
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
It was built by Italian carpenters moonlighting whilst they were here building St Patrick's Chapel/ Church, donegall Street, approx 1.5 miles away
It's also just across from the europa Hotel.. it was the most bombed hotel in Europe at 1 time 😊
These videos are quality pal, been a subscriber for couple of months ,really enjoy them.
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
Good bit of info there in the start mate, you're evolving ;)
He's clueless
M8 I’m starting to get Danny Dyer vibes off you ‘came into this well dodgy pub at 1pm, better keep my noggin down’ 😆, brits are always welcome on the shankill, we have the 12th July parade in Belfast coming up with people from all over the uk visiting 🇬🇧
Another funny as advert. Great vid. Nice one.
Yeah been looking forward to this one for a while !
Looking forward to your next one pal !
Pints looked lovely
Bangin
I was at Uni there in the 80s and in the busy pubs they would start pouring the Guinness half an hour before opening to let it settle and make sure it was served at room temp - never chilled.
Proper way to do it!
Flip how bad were your A'Levels to have to come here llf
@@ArchStanton-xx6sj It's worse than that - I actually chose to go to Queens - it was top of my list 🤣
@@user-zq8ll1yl6i very good lol hope it went well
@user-zq8ll1yl6i you chose to come here in the 80s lol, everyone else was trying to leave!
Great video's, these. Big up from Australia 👍
Only just watched a couple of your videos good content enjoyed both mate keep up good work
Loving the back 2 tge futer lol 😂
Cheers pal 🤣
Great video mate, i live in north Belfast, some great bars up the antrim road as well.
Bangin mate, proper boozers
Brilliant video, extremely well explained. You're putting me out on a pub crawl now.
I've been drinking Guinness for years but never heard of the splitting the G drinking game til I saw this channel, i've got all my friends playing it now. It's all kicking off! 🍺
🤣🤣🤣 bangin that....go on!
Same here!
It's a load of shite started by the Guinness Guru who in fact isn't even a Guinness drinker
Played that in the ship inn Anglesey last Saturday lol. I've never quite got it
@@danbreen6946 known people doing it for years before guru
Maybe your best adventure so far, that was magic mate! 👍
Is a bangin place
The 'danger' is relative. Locals will react more positively to a tourist than another local, especially a stranger. The Falls and Shankill are less than a mile apart and people from both sides know each other. There was no danger for you because of what I just said. But locals from either side venturing into one another's pubs wouldn't be so safe. Also, walking into a pub on a Saturday afternoon is probably the safest time. I feel the atmosphere would be different later on in the evening. Anyway, I'm not trying to scare anyone, Belfast has worked hard to change attitudes and thankfully the worst seems to be behind us. £12 for a pint in Crown is laughable. The irony is, had that pub not been saved by tourism it would be just like all the rest you visited price included. Anyway, cheers for visiting Belfast, hope you enjoyed it!
@@EvilestGem it's £6 per pint. He bought two pints in there pal.
Agree with what you say about the "danger". Been in pubs on both sides of the fence. Thought my English accent would be an issue on the Falls side ages ago, but they were fine. If anything when I'm there I get random folk coming up to me enquiring about my holiday, why I'm there, what do I think of the place etc. Always a good atmosphere. I've probably staggered into every pub and club in Belfast (inc the ones on this vid) and have come out with a good impression and usually have a good time. I've met that many folk and made a few friends for life there too.
I'm glad that there is peace over there now. I remember being in the North back before the GFA in '98 and believe me the atmosphere was a lot different.
Good one deffo liked the first pub the best and that ad is a level 8 mate!
Yeh 1st was top tier! Cheers pal 🤣
Love your vidoes mate. Nothing better than a rough pub!
I’ve been following your videos for good while now and enjoy them. I’m Ni living in England, but you went to one side of belfast and I wonder why… You never went to the other side which kinda annoyed me and I’m annoyed it annoyed me. You haven’t done it right this time 🤷🏻♂️
Are the English welcome on the "other side" 😂
@beautifulNornIron why wouldn't they be..
@@beautifulNornIron course they are, like everyone else
Belfast! Nice one. Let's have a little look. ✌️🏴
👍🍺
Great channel love the videos that Guinness looked banging
Loving the videos lately mate. Keep it up
Cheers pal
ahhh Belfast especially shankhill great people great Guinness-great video as always fella
100% pal. Cheers mate
4:15 they have "Welcome" in several languages including Welsh, but no Irish. It's deliberate of course. p.s. Shankill (from Irish Seanchill, meaning 'old church'), named by the natives since ethnically cleansed from the region 👍👍
Don't talk shite.
@@samwallace7313 just because you don't like an element of history doesn't mean it's not real.
You always get one. 😂
Is Irish understood outside a few rustic areas in Ireland? Next you'll be saying that Ulster-Scots is too!
Awesome them 1st pubs the pony club looked good and the G wow that looked tasty top geezer !!
Another good video mate 👏👍 Banging 😂It is what it is 😂👍
Cheers pal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
From what I've gathered, Cork is more or less the only place where you can find widespread Murphy's and Beamish on tap. Never been to Ireland, so I might be wrong about that, but I watch a lot of pub channels lol. Good luck and keep up the good work. Your channel rocks 🤘
plenty of Beamish in Dublin but yes limerick and cork would be best place for beamish
Murphy’s is made in cork aye
Beamish at the Sunflower in Belfast. They only sell Beamish, no Guinness there.
The Anchor in Derry also sells Beamish and Guinness.
Murphy's is harder to find unless you go to Co Cork.
Been to Belfast many a time and always had a warm welcome. Worked for a northern Irish company and have many northern Irish friends. Really friendly country
Nice 1 you’re always welcome
Northern Ireland isn't a country
Northern Ireland is a country. The four country’s that make up Great Britain Scotland, wales, Northern Ireland and England

Thanks for the video. Cheers from 🇺🇸 🍻.
sunflower bar does a lovely beamish in the the city centre.. John Hewitts does a lovely Murphys mate enjoy
@@jamesburns3763 didn't know Hewitts did Murphy's? I did know they do a nice (and cheap) brewery own brand stout. Must look out for Murphy's next time...
hahaha YESSS YOU FINALLY CAME TO BELFAST! 😁😁
Bangin
If you get down to Limerick at any point I highly reccommend the pubs down by Kilalee, the woman in the village inn (Across the road from the Claughan bar) does a three part pour which i've never seen anywhere else. Proper family run local pub full of the best people you'll meet.
Sounds bangin!!!
Brilliant show my mrs is from Belfast and back in the day it was really rough uda ira btw those pints of guiness are bang on I went dublin pub called the playright they were poured exactly the same as yours danny and oh yeah absolute nectar ❤👍
Looks like a nice place.
All the boozers looked decent. .
Top Guinness 👌
Bangin mate
The Rex Bar used to be the haunt of the UVF. It was the scene of serious disorder between the UVF and Johnny Adair's UDA company which ultimately led to Adair being exiled from NI by the UDA.
Mental back in the day init
@@honestplaces they riddled the rex with automatic gunfire that day was a fair few killed during that feud army had to patrol area again and people walking about with bullet proof vests on hundreds of people removed from their homes when it kicks off on Shankill it kicks off lol. Have drank in all of those pubs at some stage apart from the pony club dunno if its still there but the berlin bar was another one id go to the odd time.
@@kennymitchell4361 Berlin bar is shut now pal.

ohh sick regarding the titanic build site. nice :D
Love Northern Ireland,was there last week.
The Duke of York in the city centre sells both Murphys and Beamish on tap. And their Guinness is outstanding!
Fuming!
I did not know that, cheers and I live 12 miles away lol.
One of my favourite places when I was living over there, quality pub!
Best pub in belfast
Great Video mate. Had Guinness in Belfast and Dublin and personal taste preferred it in Belfast. Great city Belfast. Next time you go to Belfast, try a pub called Kelly's cellars. 👍👍
Cheers pal. I did go there mate, pukka!
@honestplaces Great Guinness there isn't there mate? 😊👍
The force of ulster mural is to commemorate the troops of RAF Ulster who helped defend England against the germans in the Air Raids

Brilliant mate watching this took me back 30 years when I used to play in a band and the royal bar and the diamond jubilee was two pubs we played in very often the diamond jubilee was known as the dirty diamond we were playing one Saturday night when armed men came in took over the stage and gave a speech that there would be no cease fire the place went mad, that was back when the cease fire was being talked about, fucking rough as fuck but one of the few bars that bought the band a drink at the end of the night
Jeeez. Sounds proper brutal back in the day!
Great video. I've always fancied a trip over to Northern Ireland. Seeing the friendliness of the people there, I shall have to do it.

I dont think id be going to a place with 'Shank' and 'Kill' in the same word. Also, you have the best adverts on CZcams

Missed that 😭
I'd love to go to the Diamond. Looks cool from the outside. I wouldn't be welcome though. There's a few oldschool like that on the Falls though Gilmartins aka The Fort on (Springfield Road) and The Rock (Rockmore Road). The same crafters that kitted out the Crown did these bars also. Italian I believe.
Someone is a pussy 😂😂😂😂😂
You would be welcome, but like most local pubs, I wouldn't advise going after 10pm on a Friday or Saturday night
That's the same with all local pubs the world over. They can tell who isn't a local
Remember that many,many years ago strangers used to walk into pubs, have a quick pint, leave a bag under a table and walk out. Bang
And this was all over belfast
So a little suspicion of strangers is still there, especially after a night of drinking. The people of the shankill and the falls, are the salt of the earth, you would be safe and welcome everywhere, but maybe best before 6-7pm lol
Went in The Crown a couple of times when I was in Belfast - decent boozer. Keep up the good work.
