Sunflower Public House in Belfast

best pizza in belfast. affordable pints. knowledgeable passionate staff. something on every night of the week. beamish and local craft beer. best bar.

I went with a volunteer teacher in Spanish and it was a super pleasant and fun experience, I felt like a shaman!!! 🤣🤣 I will repeat (Monday 18:15)

Fantastic pub! Delicious beer and great service, very friendly.

Beautiful bar, amazing staff and great selection of beers

Pizzas out the back are unreal, pints of Beamish are sublime.

Great patio, great people. Would return in a heartbeat

Great bar fantastic atmosphere smoking area out the back is the best place to be and the pizza joint is amazing

The last bastion of independence in Belfast. Great selection of beers and a wonderful pizza bar included (the boxing hare)

Great pub this with a great warm welcome and atmosphere

Perfect! The best pizza I've had in a long time.

Great bar first visit will be back again great choice of craft beer

Characteristic Belfast pub, with live music and food (pizzas). At the entrance, a door with a cage reminiscent of times past to protect the premises from confrontations between Catholics and Protestants. Youth atmosphere. It is worth the visit.

Quaint old Belfast pub where time simply stands still. You have to have a look 👍

Good pints good pizza good atmosphere

Staff - grand Pizza - grand Music - great

Recommended by a friend from the local area. This pub has history from the troubles as the gated entrance still shows, but is now a buzzing bar with a great atmosphere and fantastic artisan pizza in the open area out back. A must visit.

No Guinness, but at least they have Beamish. Decent enough place to sit in. Seems understaffed. Good beers. Toilets are stinking, could do with vast improvement. But it seems like the kind of place that doesn't care about that kind of thing.

Absolutely banging pub with a great vibe. So much fun to sit at the back and sink a few quality beers. Massively reccomended.

3 star pub upped to 4 stars due it's obvious character and selling a great stout that isn't Guinness for a change. No craft beer of merit although a proper authentic Irish boozer.

One of the cheapest pubs in the city centre. Only 4.60 for a pint of beamish. Also usually has plenty of local beers like kinnegar on tap. Nice pizza as well although quite small. Overall I would definitely recommend the staff also friendly. Nice to see a pub not trying to take advantage of its customers by charging ridiculous prices. If only other pubs in the city centre would do the same

Great traditional pub with regular live music.

Best pint of macivors cider and love the pizza they make there. The beer garden having a cover is also unreal.

Typical Irish pub with a grill on the door that was used during the conflicts in Belfast to prevent attacks inside. They have a terrace where they make pizzas and one day a week they give Spanish classes. Various types of beers!!!

Incredible pub! Nice garden and great atmosphere. Bearish pint is a good rival for Guinness!

One of the only bars in Belfast I can rely on for PERIOD CARE! Thanks for always keeping the period products topped up .

Love this pub. Great atmosphere. Plenty of live music. Unfortunately, no Guinness but there is a substitute.

Great looking old pub with eclectic decoration thats well worth a visit if you’re in Belfast. Wide selection of local (shoutout Kinnegar) beers as well as the usual crowd. The beer garden out the back is nice too with live music and pizza from the boxing hare (which I’d say is only ok but nice if you’re stuck)

Best place for the young and old atmosphere was epic on guy pride day

Here for Belfast Trad Fest.. some of the best Irish music around

I've had many good times here, but also have to say the last time I was here staff were really rude and shuffled out customers as if they didn't matter. Everyone is tired at the end of their working day but you still have to be nice!

Very nice atmosphere. Very nice beer. Nice staff. As for food, they only serve pizzas. We ate a rustica pizza for 11£. It was delicious. Not enough for 2 people though. It's quite small.

A wonderful place to have a good pizza and some drinks.

Brilliant place for beer and music and pizza and the craic 👍👍👍👍👍

A unique experience just a short walk from the city centre. Live music almost every day and a delicious wood fired pizza in the back yard. Lots of different beers. It is worth visiting.

Top pub thanks to the Good Beer Guide. Only one hand pull, Boundary Camper however it was a top pint. Over 3 days we visited three times - great chilled vibe in the beer garden, with pizzas to soak up the beer. Eclectic vibe - just off the main tourist route. Live music and comedy most nights.

The sweetest little neighborhood pub, and a highlight of our time in Belfast. We visited on a Sunday evening and loved the live trad music session, friendly staff, great beer, and welcoming, inclusive atmosphere.

Great place to spend an afternoon having a few in the beer garden

Nice beer garden on a sunny day with tastey pizza.

Toilets could have been better. 🥺

Good pint and a great atmosphere . Live music was exceptional Pizza looked delicious

Alway love it here, relaxed atmosphere Pizza next time definitely

Amazing atmosphere created by the punters and the musicians. Note to tourists * they don't sell Guinness here. But plenty of great beers and ales, like Kinnegars scraggy Bay or Rusty Ale.

No Guinness but apart from that...grand

Been going here for years, staff are always lovely and the live music is always great. Highly recommend the hot honey pizza

Fantastic pints of Beamish in a really jovial setting, great pizza too. Great place

Great bar in Belfast. Lots of much character, fair prices and even some live music. Highly recommend

Second visit was great, however first visit on 21st May we were abruptly told that 'we're closed' by the grumpy long haired ginger goblin that seems to run the place. This was despite the pub being full and regulars complaining that they wouldn't serve us. Very disappointing as we'd just arrived to the city after a long journey and staying nearby, resulting in a sober first night in Belfast.

Great bar, chilled vibes busy spot, great bar staff cold beer

The service is always friendly, even when it’s absolutely packed. The food is great. They have a great selection of beers on tap, they always have one special sunflower one. This is one of the few pubs with macivor’s on tap, and lots of lovely options of bottles behind the bar as well. Food-wise, you can pick from several delicious vegetarian options alongside the other pizzas and some delicious flatbreads. The music is always fun and the crowd is lovely company.

A very good Irish pub .. excellent & friendly staff, great atmosphere and amazing pizzas .. what more could you ask for? .. highly recommend 👌

A bit of a rustic old pub with a lot of street art around it. It was OK but nothing fantastic.

Very good food, value, and atmosphere. £5 pints and pizza was the way to go

Super spot for a drink. Lovely clientele great music.

Paid a visit to the Sunflower Pub after a suggestion from a work colleague who had lived nearby. I’m glad I did as I probably wouldn’t have without the tip off. Good selection of beers( I had a raspberry sour IPA). Small interior but decent sized beer garden at the back. You can even get a reasonable priced pizza made for you by the resident vendor. I didn’t try the pizzas but there was plenty made when I was there.

Top spot. Great range of local beers snd some of the best pizza around. Well worth a visit

Good pub with excellent pizza and live music in the evening!

Really lovely pub, went back 3 times during our 3 night stay. String feel of community there and a great atmosphere

Great outdoor space to the rear of the pub, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Hope to be back on our next visit to Belfast.

Home away from home while we visted from Newcastle for a couple of days, absolutely worth a visit. Beautiful pub, full of history, music and new friends. Super welcoming and inclusive, get yourselves down!

Great pizza, great beers, great atmosphere with live irish music. No complaints

Best bar in Belfast! Nice crowd and staff. Interesting art on the walls, decent music. Well worth a visit

They’re so nice, playing Marika Hacman and serving the best beers in Belfast

Doesn't serve Guinness, but has a stout alternative, that wasn't good. Decent outside area that also serves pizza, but this was closed when we got there.

Only had beer and my wife had red wine both were good.

One of my fav places in Belfast

Pizza is available on certain days only. Warm atmosphere. Lots of tradition in this place.

Had to come here and I'm glad I did beer really good and the pizzas are Spot on All hand made to order it's a you got to visit whilst in Belfast.

Very vibey pub surrounded by amazing street art. There is regular live music on, both modern and traditional.

Great bar. Great staff. Supports local musicians and community. Very reasonable price for pint, far better than most of Belfast city centre

Very friendly, great atmosphere, cheap and Delicious drinks- music was wonderful

The food is decent for a pub if a bit basic but the wood fired pizza is great and the Sunflower really shines as a live music venue. Love going here. Lots of really great local music talent to enjoy and the drinks are priced reasonably too.

Quite nice staff. Welcoming people. Tried Irish beer, it’s also tasty! THEIR PIZZA IS AMAZING!

Hidden gem in Belfast in one of the side streets. Full of atmosphere. Has a busy brick pizza oven in the outdoors area too!

Great night out for a few drinks with old friends

Fab place its definitely worth checking out ppl nice staff nice place nice, wot else can I say and I'm really fussy cus I work in the trade

When you order a soft drink it usually comes with a glass to drink it from, the staff here need training with this.

Had a fab time there. Lovely pizza and friendly place.

This place deserves more than 5 stars all round. So much fun, incredible pizzas and proper Irish folk music groups. Staff were so helpful and fun as we're the locals. They even pre ordered our pizzas before we arrived to be sure we didn't miss out. And most importantly, they welcome dogs. Drinl prices were def. lower than normal too.

The Sunflower is a pub with a great selection of affordable beers and warm atmosphere. There is also an outside seating area with heated lamps (which I think there could have been more of).

Best pub in Northern Ireland. The pizza was also delicious!

Great atmosphere, good selection of beers etc

Old fashioned Belfast pub. The decor is a relic of the 1970s. It's cosy, with friendly staff and an excellent range of beers.

Un chouette lieu. Intérieur petit. Mais gros espace a l'extérieur. Un lieu a faire pour une visite de Belfast.

This place is awesome! Perfect for a party or just a good night out drinking with your friends!

Great spot for a drink gardens great friendly staff and fun atmosphere

Ok. If you’re into beer, and in Belfast, this is a must visit. The old historical pubs are fab, but you’re caught between Guinness and many variants of lager, with an occasional red ale. All keg. The Sunflower has fresh ale, craft beers, a European selection; it’s a thoughtful range. Also, it’s friendly. And no Guinness.

Best pub in Belfast. So cosy, great music, drinks and people. Also dog friendly!

Terrible experience with bar man, Rory has some dark views. I went to the bar for a laugh not to listen to a political views.

Wonderfull place, music fun and lovely people.

Always greeted by friendly, welcoming staff with a great range of drinks at a good price. Always visit the sunflower when in Belfast.

One of my favourite place. This place has a different vibe.

Lovely outdoor space with fantastic pizza. Very difficult to find seating because it has become so popular. They have lots of local drinks which is nice but the staff is usually too busy to help you find a drink that you might like since they don't serve many of the "standard' beers. When they have trad music on the atmosphere is great, otherwise it wouldn't be my first choice in Belfast pubs but it is for many especially the more hip younger crowd. The drinks are no more expensive than any other pub and the green cage at the door makes you want to go in to see what it is about. I do appreciate all the community conscious events they host and this definitely makes the Sunflower stand out.

Lovely iconic find! Fab atmosphere n good to bump into old friends after the gig at the telegraph building! Will be back

Great night. Pizza was delicious, fresh and brought to us upstairs. Very helpful, friendly staff and an amazing buzz about the place.

Pizza très bonne et totalement faite maison ! Génial pour venir y boire une bière avec ses amis

You want good pizza and an affordable pint and friendly vibes in Belfast? Sunflower is the place to be. Sunflower is so good I dressed up as it for Halloween. Where do I begin? You’ll make friends for life in the expansive back area. You will get to people watch or converse. You will right the world’s wrongs. According to some awarding bodies, this is the best pub in Belfast and rightly so. The prices are amazing for the location and atmosphere. My go-to tends to be the Grolsch, however the Budvar and Erdinger are great too. Spirit wise, the Red Leg rum never disappoints. There is no Guinness but the Beamish will certainly suffice. I had never really drank Beamish until introduced to it by this unique establishment. The bar is LGBT-friendly and there are plenty of pups dotted about the place to keep you entertained when you are curing the Sunday fear. I cannot let this review go without mentioning the pizza, which is out of this world and provided by the amazing Boxing Hare. Try the sundown I assure it will brighten things up for you, like the Sunflower does so well. The staff are great too. Shoutout to Becca, Conor, Charys, Rory, Hugh, Collette and Chloe for the exceptional service and curls. As a side note, I admire that the Sunflower provided an award to an artist at this year’s RUA exhibition in Ulster Museum! Pure class 🌻

Good vibes, great pizza and drinks

Brilliant atmosphere and first-rate staff. Will visit again next time I'm home in Belfast.

My partner and I came in with a couple of friends after work a few weeks ago for a pint and a pizza. Pints were lovely, love the local selection they offer, pizza was great too. They put some candles out on the table and we were having a great time. However, while we were in conversation, my partner started subconsciously picking at the loose wax on the candle and it fell to the table. A member of staff, a young blonde girl, came over to collect our glasses and as she was leaving, very rudely told us to stop picking at the candle because it “causes a mess and makes clean-up longer.” It was about 6pm at this point, I think we were all a bit taken aback. Fair enough but, we’ve both done our years in hospitality, sometimes you’re just having a bad day and you take it out on the wrong person without thinking. So my partner started picking up the wee pieces of wax and putting them into the candle again to melt and clean up the mess. Two minutes later, the member of staff came back over and without saying a word, lifted the two candles on the table, blew them out and set them away from us. We were all in shock. Cannot put into words how embarrassed my partner was, she is a working adult and was made to feel like a misbehaving child. We all were. Usually love coming to Sunflower, been here many times, we’ve actually played trad here before, but absolutely will not be back and will be telling others not to. This is the first review I’ve ever left for any place, our experience was that bad. Seriously disappointed.

Love you all your the best thank you very much made my birthday a day to remember Rory is a legend absolute sterling fella 🇮🇪😍🥳👌🏻🤙🌻🍻
