National

Belfast


Behind the oyster-grey ground-floor facade of the 1897 former National Bank building, and through its post-industrial interior, is the National's pièce de résistance – the city's biggest beer garden, which hosts regular barbecues and live music. Stop by for breakfast, a weekday sandwich (served until 5pm) or Sunday brunch.

On Friday and Saturday nights DJs spin the tunes at club Sixty6, with several bars and a dance floor spread out over four floors.
