Whites in Belfast

I think this pub/tavern is absolutely amazing. It's really big, spread across several buildings. You simply have to see it for yourself. The food and drinks were top-notch! The service was excellent; the guys and girls, sorry, of course, the older ladies too ;-), were in a good mood and always had an eye for the next order. Great live music. You can sing along or play along, whichever you like. For me, one of the best pubs in Belfast.

Typical belfast city pub lots of character and over priced food and drink

Terrible service, no one knew what there were doing. Hair in my food and just a terrible atmosphere everyone being loud screaming. Won’t be back

Service had a few stumbles, but they more than made up for it. Great management! Also, maybe the best chicken wing we've had (we got the Korean ones). Delicious!!

We ate here twice, and neither time disappointed my wife said her chowder was the best she had ever tasted. Nice atmosphere and one night musicians were playing traditional Irish music

Beautiful place. Open fireplace. Beautiful atmosphere. Warm. Friendly welcome. Fine and generous cuisine.

Went to try out whites tavern as I heared a lot of good reports about it ,well what a dump , was not served because I was wearing a grey hoodie, just a word of warning to tourists coming to belfast on a cruise don't go to whites tavern unless appropriately dressed or you will be turned away, it's a very bad rule turning away good custom , in my opinion I would just avoid , if you don't want to be disappointed , nothing to write home about any way, would not recommend it to anyone 👎👎👎👎👎unfortunately can't put down below about how much I spent cause I didn't spend anything

Food is beautiful. Staff are friendly and happy to help and atmosphere is lively

Went here the first day we were at Belfast recommended by our hotel hostess. The place is small with a very lively atmosphere, we had to wait for a while to get seats but it was well worth it. The food is AMAZING. It kind of ruined it for us because even though the food at other places was good, none came even close to this place :) My sister had the traditional Irish Stew that we tried elsewhere and none came close to it. The meat just melts in your mouth and it is an explosion of flavors. I had the braised beef cheek and it was DELICIOUS. The staff is super kind (like all the wonderful Irish people) even though they were super busy. It is a tavern but is family friendly. It was a great start for our trip. Just go, you won’t be disappointed.

This was very poor, was turned away because apparently was wearing a tracktop. Yet the Person next to me was wearing a rugby shirt and shorts. This day and age really? The court yard was empty. It clearly suits a different clintentile . This was the second time in 20 years that I have been thrown out. Well their loss. Found another nice bar and lovely bar staff. WHITES Tavern your loss the other bar gain. Never again will I set foot in this establishment.

Hit above expectations! Food was hearty and damn good. The staff was fun and pleasant. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for with Irish music playing in the background as well as fun locals.

I have not eaten here yet but the aromas are mouthwatering. Staff, live music, Drinks, atmosphere. Excellent 👌❤️

Delicious food. Very accommodating of vegetarians - they have vegetarian Irish stew that was great, and offered to make us a veggie pie. All really tasty!

Not sure about food Guinness and whisky were good. Not cheep very lively lots of tourists.

A must visit dut the seats are uncomfortable

Big thanks to Kevin for taking care of our group!

Phenomenal. Cozy, warm and welcoming atmosphere, and even friendlier staff and service. The food was incredible, with perfectly cooked steak and sides. Cannot recommend higher. Will definitely be coming back!!

A true character Belfast pub, log fire distinctive decor good service etc the music can be a little loud

Very authentic Irish pub with good food

Delicious food. We were 15 people and were able to visit them unannounced. And as a gift the food was delicious. Everyone happy.

Big portion! Sadly, the day we went there, they ran out of bread. out of the bread.

Nestled at the back of a courtyard, you can immediately see that this is a typical Irish pub restaurant. We waited a bit before being served but the very hearty Irish stew was well worth the short wait. Accompanied by a Guinness, a real delight. Warm place that I recommend.

Had a great time talking whiskey in a great place

Whites Tavern in Belfast came highly recommended by locals and after having their Irish Stew I can agree. It’s quite a small pub/restaurant and also quite dark inside, but very traditional.

We went there twice during our stay in Belfast. Highly recommend a visit - people are super friendly, and we had very yummy food (Fish and Chips and Irish Stew) and drinks. Great live music as well!

I got barred from this place for no reason other than sharing a table with a stranger who in the course of the evening upset the staff with some inappropriate comments so the barred him and me because I assume they thought I was in his company when I explained the situation the staff didn't want to know and they said I was barred by "association" with the other person I couldn't really believe that this happened it was like a bad dream and the staff were really really horrible I'll never go back in there

I was in White's today. I've been there on many occasions for a pint of Guinness which won't disappoint you but today I was also there for food. My friend was treating me,so I didn't like to complain but it was extremely disappointing. I ordered the seafood chowder with Guinness wheaten bread. The small portion of fish was good but it was filled with potatoes which were half cooked and there was only a third of bowl of soup with some peas. The bread tasted like it was shop bought. I'm local and know what a good chowder and Guinness bread should consist of. This didn't in anyway hit the mark and was extremely overpriced. The service however was good but I won't be back for food.

Quaint and cozy pub in the center of Belfast. The food was really tasty, absolutely recommended.

Me and my family came at7:30 pm and no one came. After 30 minutes they told us that the chicken was closed. Horrible.

They kept us waiting for half an hour and other people arrived after us and were served food. When they finally serve us they say that the kitchen is closed. A lack of respect

Literally the best poured and tasting pint of Guinness I've had. Outstanding service from Cristóir.

Lovely heartly food 🥰 Me and partner had a lovely experience in whites tavern.we were recommended two places for food, (We had a unfortunate bad experience in "the northern whig" saying they were fully booked even though the place was empty at 4pm, maybe it was our southern accent 💁‍♀️), so we continued to whites, and we were delighted to have a lovely service and beautiful food on a rainy day, we had dessert and a drink after are meal and felt very welcome.. i Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be back again 🥰

Awesome place as seen on TV's Blue Lights Great Food, long wait even after booking & paying advanced deposit, orders all mixed up & the GUINNESS was great 👍 again lovely staff but they our so busy check your bill we had our bill all wrong but they soughted it out quickly LOL 😆 apparently it was another tables our bill was around £200 the other tables was £70 i thought it was far to cheap 🤣 I was honest & pointed this out, simply so busy, id go again & loved the open fire by the standing bar when we all arrived to get warm, Belfast is cold & the fire warmed us up quick

The best pint of Guinness in Belfast, made even better by the bar man Chris who is a wealth of knowledge and just a genuinely lovely person to chat to about the city. Love our experience here.

Smell of toilets and lack of seating is a shame but nice pub. Also a glass of red wine cost me £8.25, in London it cost me £7.50 for the same measure of an average red wine. Prices are getting nuts, but probably not limited to this pub in fairness.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Whites Tavern today, accompanied by our two Miniature Schnauzers. We began with chicken wings to share. I had the Loin of Bacon served with Irish Cabbage, Creamy Potatoes, and Parsley Sauce. When I placed my order, our waiter remarked, 'Great choice, that's one of my favorites.' The food was served warm, hearty, and absolutely delicious. Our waiter was exceptionally attentive and friendly. We always choose Whites Tavern whenever we visit Belfast. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a smile, and it’s clear that this establishment is well-managed. We especially appreciate their warm welcome for well-behaved pets, as they always provide a dish of water. I would highly recommend Whites Tavern to anyone; the place is impeccably clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly.

Good bar, good for watching sport, didn't have food, but it looked good, thought drinks were a bit pricey, £31 for 3 pints and 3 Half's of Tennant's.

The front part is a nice place to sit in. It is well located. They took away the character of the back bar, but in a way it is better as it is cleaner - so the compromise is decent. Service, like in all the places owned by the same company, is close to appalling. Not the staff's fault, the management either choose the wrong people, don't train them, or don't maintain a good standard - or all of the above. Can attract a rough crowd, but, all in all, not a bad pub. Just okay. Had the steak - well cooked, but was tough.

A bust pub. But the back bar is great

One of the best pibs in Belfast.

One of the oldest pubs in Belfast. Beautiful!

Spent few hours here today, on a hen do Atmosphere brilliant, staff....big shout out to Oshene, were amazing, lunch excellent Highly recommended

What a gorgeous hidden gem the older part is, like a ‘proper’ pub! Newer front part was lively with amazing atmosphere and music that had the floor filled!

A hodden jem! The atmosphere was rustic, old-fashioned, and very homey. What really won us over was the food. Everything we ordered was simply delicious! If we had more time in the ciry, we would come again! We totally recommend!

traditional Irish tavern, very authentic, sometimes there are also traditional music players

We learned that this place is the first pub in Belfast opened at 1630 and wanted to try the place. Such a lovely atmosphere. The beers and food(we tried irish stew) was excellent. The staff was kind and helpful. You should definitely come and visit if u have a time

Such a friendly place. Best pint of Guinness I've had in Belfast

Great food and lovely open fire

Friendly warm bar, great atmosphere, decent Guinness

Excellent food and ambience. Historic place to visit.

Great place, 3 totally separate and different drinking areas.

A must visit for a pint of the black stuff!

Belfast's oldest pub. Great food, lovely service, live music and Guinness.

First time we went to whites and last time Was queuing at the bar I slightly raised my palm to get attention to be served very polite like And this tiny little hobbit behind the bar with a beard half my age and said if you want to get served around here you won't by raising yiur hand Have you ever heard the likes of it so rude What do you do stand there and give no attention and let the bar staff pick and choose who they want to serve Disgusting

There's an old part and a new part. The old part has all the atmosphere.

Whites is a great traditional Belfast bar with an atmosphere that matches. It can be very busy at times as it is a popular venue. The only reason for my three star service rating is because when its busy it really needs to have more staff serving behind the bar! It is a good spot for all ages but if you want a seat get in early 😉

We visited as part of a 60th birthday celebration. Yulia was amazing, made us incredible cocktails all afternoon and went out of her way to suggest other things we might like. We are now addicted to a Clover Club! Thank you so much for being so lovely x

Great place for lunch in Belfast with that old world charm. Service is spot on and food is great. This is a very popular spot so if you haven't booked don't be disappointed if you can't get a table. If there is a downside, and I'm just being picky, the music through the speakers is quite loud and intrusive at times.

A bar full of magic that only gets better with the excellent attention of the staff.

The real deal. Best pub we went to in Belfast. Impressive food too. The beef cheeeks were tender, the fish and chips fluffy. Would recommend a visit. Oldest tavern in Belfast.

I went to whites to meet other friends and they refused me entry. They sited I was too drunk despite me trying my best to prove otherwise. No matter what I said and how many conversations I had their words were “we can’t stray from the opinion of the original colleague”. This colleague was working the side door, and when we walked past he stuck the middle finger up at us and when we questioned it, said nothing. A despicable establishment. Prejudice against young girls.

It's a lovely wee pub with a traditional Irish atmosphere akin to pubs in the likes of donegal.

Excellent!! Well done Whites. Your staff are the BEST 👌

It's a great place, a nice atmosphere. Very cosy and has an irish pub charm. We visited this place for the company's christmas party. The food was good, mostly traditional. I am vegetarian, so there were decent items for vegetarians. Drinks on offer is just like any typical irish pub. Visit recommended if you like proper snug old irish pub.

Came here with my BIL and family. They had a Guinness while enjoying the rustic old pub. Great music, fantastic space and really cool decor all over. This is basically how I imagine the 1800s looking like. Really cool. The staff was lovely too!

Wonderful pub full of character and great atmosphere. Lovely welcoming open fire that would want you to stay all day.Friendly staff and great beer garden and lots of old money notes adorn the ceilings.Will be back Slainte

Great traditional pub in the heart of Dublin.

Lovely pub. Great Guinness. Smashing food.

Whites is a great pub. I opted to frequent Whites Tavern with a friend visiting from Scotland. We enjoyed copious amounts of stout in a warm and friendly atmosphere—thoroughly enjoyed it! They also have a dedicated Guinness bar, which I’ve been to before—it’s definitely worth checking out if you love a good pint. Certainly a great spot to visit if you’re in Belfast for a short break. Just be aware, the Guinness is on the pricey side.

My favourite bar in Belfast ruined by terrible bar staff. It must be a lack of training or new staff and can be fixed but wearing a queen's university hoody while working behind the middle bar and having such terrible behaviour reflects poorly on the bar and the university.

Lively place. Fantastic fish and chips and excellent Guinness.

We always enjoy Whites, but PLEASE address the really poor toilets. Even males like to have a working hand dryer. The staff are excellent and the food is good enough, but these toilets are awful. The Harp Bar is the standard you should be aiming for.

Arrived last weekend to watch the rugby, went early specifically to secure a seat, as a man over 60 i need a seat. Managed to secure a stool out in the covered area, watched the Scotland game until 10 min before the Ireland game kickoff only to watch two staff members taking stools from 5 of us sitting on them. I would not recommend this place. Oh, spoke to a woman also chasing her deposit back from staff at the bar, she paid to secure a table only to find the £50 had not been taken off her bio. I wont go back. Plenty of other places in the city to watch the game.

Very nice food, I had the creamy chowder & my colleague had the fish & chips. Big portions! And a nice cozy tavern

Great pub in the heart of Belfast.

Great atmosphere however I was charged £7 for a blackcurrant and soda, when I questioned it I was told it was £3 for a small bottle of soda water and £1 for a dash of blackcurrant cordial. Daylight robbery. Guinness was poor too

Great history here. Fun place for a pint. Great courtyard/outdoor area in the alley. Research the place before you go and you’ll appreciate it even more.

Mi hermano gemelo y yo estábamos en un pub dando vueltas por esta parte de la ciudad cuando decidimos pasar por Whites Tavern y qué gran hallazgo. Entrando y sabía que disfrutaría de mi visita aquí, el interior es oscuro y acogedor, a la luz de las velas, una barra de servicio de madera maciza domina la sala principal, decoración y mobiliario pubby y un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub tanto dentro como fuera en su patio, que también tiene un bar de servicio muy atractivo, es solo un pub muy bueno para relajarse. Estábamos aquí en una noche de enero amargamente frío, pub estaba ocupado con un gran ambiente, pedimos Heverlee pilsner, estos se sirven en excelentes condiciones siendo helado frío y espumoso, nos relajamos y empapamos de la gran vibra en este pub ocupado y popular mientras bebíamos nuestras cervezas. Mi cerveza era muy buena, un pilsner dorado, de lúpulo, toques de toffee, un delicioso aroma y regusto con un suave acabado crujiente, muy fácil de beber sobre todo cuando se sirve frío helado como en este pub, era tan bueno estar en un pub tan encantador disfrutando de una cerveza de calidad y se sentó con mi hermano gemelo, mejor compañero de cerveza del mundo. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestras cervezas aquí antes de seguir adelante y aunque nuestra visita fue solo fugaz para una primera visita a White's Tavern nos lo pasamos muy bien. Whites Tavern es fácil de localizar a lo largo de Winecellar Entry. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a jueves, 11. 30 am hasta la 1 am. Viernes y sábado, 11. 30 am hasta las 2 am. Domingo, 11. 30 am hasta la 1 am. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona o planeando unas vacaciones en Belfast.

Entered at 6pm on a wet windy Sunday night to be hugely disappointed that the fire wasn't lit!!!.we didn't stay!.....entered next day for lunch fire was beautiful!..but service was unpleasant, proseccos were flat and not overly chilled!..staff were defensive to change!.....besides that we love this bar, when you hit ot at the right time.

En nuestro viaje de 3 días a Belfast mi gemelo y yo visitamos algunos pubs increíbles y uno de los mejores pubs que visitamos fue White's Tavern'an pub antiguo histórico que data de 1630 por lo que es el pub más antiguo de Belfast. Situado en Winecellar Entry'este pub era en mi opinión uno de los mejores pubs que visitamos y uno de los más concurridos. El pub en sí tiene un interior magnífico que se ve increíble. Desde su techo con vigas y suelos de piedra y muchos accesorios y características interesantes y un montón de buenas opciones de asientos. Jueves y domingo hay música en vivo y muestran deportes en vivo. Ofrecen una buena gama de comida y bebidas y este lugar estaba lleno cuando fuimos aquí temprano en la noche. Mi gemelo y yo visitamos pubs históricos y este está ahí arriba con el que visitamos en nuestra ciudad natal de Liverpool. Cuando visitamos aquí tuvimos unas pintas de cervezas de la fábrica de cerveza Five Lamps'una cerveza local fantástica que estaban perfectamente servidos y a buen precio teniendo en cuenta el pub en el que estábamos y donde se encuentra. Es un pub magnífico y un pub muy histórico en una zona magnífica de Belfast y es un pub que vale la pena visitar si alguna vez en esta animada ciudad. (Esta es mi reseña de 1 calle de White's Tavern). Horario de apertura. Lunes - Domingo - 12. 00 - 01 . 00 . Domingo - 12. 00 - 00 . 00 . Transporte público. Parada de autobús. Parada de autobús Bridge Street - 153 - 153 A - 156 - 256 - 256 A - 653 A - 653 A.

Irish Stew magnificent, great atmosphere and friendly

Nice pub but was somewhat disappointed it's quite expen.sive for drinks which is a sign of the times but when one is paying these prices I would expect a little better in terms of cleanliness it could do with some improvement, counter filthy I had to get a cloth myself not great

A charming and historic tavern with great atmosphere! We visited during Thanksgiving and were thrilled to see turkey on the menu! It was a great experience to visit one of the oldest taverns in Belfast, and the atmosphere truly lived up to its reputation. A very charming and welcoming place—perfect for a cozy meal!

Lovely evening, good food & drinks and atmosphere

We were a bit of an awkward table and fannied about a lot at the start, unsure even if we were going to stay. Waiter handled it brilliantly. Very patient and full of knowledge. Food was excellent. Irish stew was massive and everyone else’s food looked brilliant. 4 full bellies, 4 empty plates. Will definitely be back.

Servicio impactante, pidió una pinta cuando el bar no estaba ocupado y fue inmediatamente desentendido y hecho esperar por más de 10 minutos. Luego pedí un menú para pedir comida, nuevamente tuve que esperar solo para que me dijeran que no se serviría comida porque la mesa había sido reservada para las 5 PM mientras que eran las 3 PM. No regresará, el lugar solía tener estándares pero claro ver que se cae por su proceso de contratación, o la falta de.

It's a bit of a tourist trap these days. I still like the old bar at the back with the fire and the pints of Guinness are still good tbf, just a bit expensive but worth hitting for one.

Amazing Sunday roast. Amazing bangers and Mash.

Open fire, traditional Irish atmosphere- and good beer 🍻

What an amazing and cool bar! You will not be disappointed to grab a Guinness here

Busy, but a good resteraunt, great quality food!

Absolutely love this place - by far the nicest traditional pub in the city. Atmosphere is unrivalled

Un gran pub tradicional y acogedor, escondido en un pequeño patio en el centro de la ciudad. El personal es muy amable y genial con el servicio proactivo, y sentarse en el bar sigue siendo un placer cuando está demasiado ocupado para encontrar una mesa. La música de fondo se mantiene tradicional y hay un menú de comida decente si necesitas algo que acompañe la decente gama de bebidas que se ofrecen. Un pub encantador y uno al que sin duda volveré!

Not up to usual standards , rubbish piled up outside , noisy brash crowd and unfriendly bar staff , sorry.

A great traditional and friendly pub, tucked away in a small courtyard in the centre of the city. The staff are so friendly and great with the proactive service, and sitting at the bar remains a treat when it’s too busy to find a table. The background music is kept traditional and there’s a decent food menu if you need something to accompany the decent range of drinks on offer. A lovely pub and one I’ll certainly be returning to!

One of the best pints of Guinness we've had 👌🏻 friendly bar staff and absolutely amazing bar split into 4

Nice background classic pub vibe music with a warm and cosy fire. Quick service at the bar. Food was not being served unless booked. Very popular place and tables can be hard to grab, but great if one is acquired!

Liveky pint abd atmosphere. Need more staff as they were over worked

Great atmosphere and friendly staff! I had a delicious Guinness and enjoyed the live music. It was a great way to spend an evening with friends. I highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a good time in Belfast.

Disappointed they no longer sell pints of harp, now lost a customer despite good food and service.
