Sunflower

Top choice in Belfast


In a city full of buzzing bars, the Sunflower is an authentic corner pub, free from gimmicks and commercial glitz. There are local craft beers on tap, a beer garden with a pizza oven, and live music every night; check the website for the schedule. The Sunflower Folk Club meets on Thursday nights.

The security cage on the front door was once a common sight in 1980s Belfast; though it's no longer needed, the Sunflower has preserved it as a relic of Belfast's social history.
