So good to be back and there’s been changes! A beer garden out the back doubling the space, a kitchen so that they now provide food from 4pm Thursday to Saturdays. Still able to bring our food in from Benny’s Cafe next door. Great pints. Really chatty staff as always and a regular Friday hub for the workers

Tried Phillip McCrilly's meals and sandwiches held here every Sunday during this Feb & I loved it so much I came down the following weekend & brought my parents who also loved it. Really delicious, innovative dishes, service with a smile & a warm pub atmosphere - what more could you want!

Visited with sports team chums to try Phil's Sunday takeover. The food was outstanding - with service to match, excellent all round. Really great range of Italian food on offer and was only sad I couldn't eat one of everything. Highly recommend.

Food here is usually great, but wasn't at all impressed on Sunday past. Seafood chowder with no fish and no service! Disappointing.

Very friendly place. A bit run down, but it is supposed to be so alright. Bar staff great. Dog friendly, a big plus. No food was being served when I was there, but they suggested getting food from next door, which turned out to be delicious.

Went to The American for a retirement doo for a colleague, arrived at 2pm with approx 40 people, had drinks and bar food ,everything was good until a member of the bar staff took umbrage with one of my colleagues and stated he no longer wished to serve him ,I asked if I could mediate and ascertain what the problem was and if my colleague was out of order I would request them to leave, I was given no reasonable explanation why my colleague was not being served and it then escalated to the group not being served, no harsh words were exchanged but I feel it could have been dealt with better and a good evening out could have been an occasion to remember

Great corner pub in the Clarendon Dock area. Always something interesting on tap and friendly bar staff. Comfortable sitting inside and there's a beer garden out the back. There's a kitchen but I haven't tried the food - next time! Update: have since tried the food, several times! Good, speedy and well-priced pub food and if dessert is your thing, the Basque Cheesecake is excellent.

The sister pub of the Sunflower, great for all the same reasons. A little out of the way from the city centre but the walk is only about 15 minutes from Writers Square beside the Ulster University campus. Some of the best pub food you will ever eat with a weekly rotating menu. Try the chees toasties, they're perfect. Great live music, great pub, great everything. Always a pleasure to drink here.

Great food and chat. Seek out this part of Belfast if you want real pubs and you'll not be disappointed. Obviously being shouted out as one of the best in the region by The Observer Food Monthly has gone to their heads!! Not. Still lovely people serving reasonably priced pints from global and local brewers alongside great food. Menu changes but you'll really want the Brisket Chilli or the Cheese Toastie which are constants.

One of the best bars in Belfast, the other being its sister bar The Sunflower. The food in the American is perfectly pitched, freshly cooked and filling. Great beer, great service, great food. The final string in the bow is the short walk from the train station and its proximity to the cycle pathway from the North shore.

We've been to the American Bar before and always enjoyed it. Because the weather has been so hot, the upstairs room where the entertainment is, was just too hot. Also we were sitting on stools which is not comfortable as we both has arthritis in our backs and need a seat with support. We will be back but next time be quicker up the stairs for a seat against the wall 👍

The last up on my little sunday crawl led me off the beaten track and down to the dock area to sample this watering hole. Even though coving is covered with football scarves from around the world it doesn’t really give off the “We are a solely a football boozer” and when you walk upstairs you see what else they have to offer. On my visit there were a bunch of young lads who hired the upstairs to play computer games but it also doubles up as a theatre space where @pintsized_productions_ni put on regular shows.

We loved it here! We came for dinner (they have food from Thursday to Sunday, if I understand correctly) and some drinks. It would be even better, if the kitchen would give real plates and cutlery instead of single-use stuff. But the staff was super cute and they were fine using our lunchbox for the vegan antipasti :-) and there are more vegan options available!

First visit to this bar in about 30yrs and would highly recommend it to all, food is amazing and to the prices, we even got to buy 2 loaves of sourdough Bread to take home which I finished off today. The bar has a beer garden which has plenty of room for this time of the year , we arrived at 3pm and had a selection of food, food I have not seen on a menu before, everything was delicious, then a while later we had another go at the rest of the menu , wow it was all excellent, a chef with a really great mind has this menu down to a tee, then before we left we had 2 desserts and the chocolate slice will blow your mind, I’d love his recipe , we left around 10pm and walked through the bar , where people were playing instruments in the corner, fabulous traditional bar with first class snack menu. I will definitely be back here for both alcohol and food , and the sourdough to take home 10/10
