The INCREDIBLE HISTORY of Bittles Bar, Belfast

Показать описание
Bittles Bar is one of Belfast’s most famous bars. It is located near Victoria Square in central Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is one of Belfast's more curious pubs, being "flat-iron" in shape (like the Flatiron Building in New York). It was built in 1868 and was originally called "The Shakespeare", reflecting its theatrical clientele.

Today, besides its shape, it is noted for its eclectic range of artwork adorning the triangular lounge - portraits celebrating Ireland's literary and sporting heroes including Samuel Beckett, James Joyce, WB Yeats, Oscar Wilde, George Best, Alex Higgins and Barry McGuigan, plus some of Northern Ireland's most famous politicians.

Owner John Bittles tells us how his pub has seen the city through some of its most historical events and has only continued to grow with the changing landscape of Northern Ireland.

Tried to go in there on a New Years Eve a few years ago and have never come across such a rude doorman! I was with my wife and a friend who was here to visit! I will never set foot in this place again!

Drank in Bittles quite a bit back in the day, John is a great guy. Always welcoming and the Guinness was in great order.

Would really recommend the bottles of coke in here, really refreshing!

Does the barman still have the "no jab, no juice" sign up? Or did he take it down when the vaccine passports fell out of fashion?
