The Hatfield House - Belfast

Visited here for lunch as it's just round the corner from the office. Decent pub food menu with plenty of the usual options. Food portions are good for what you pay as well. Beer selection is poor, no IPAs or craft beer of any sort on tap. For a pub that seems proud of it's Irish heritage they could stock something from an Irish brewery instead of the usual Diageo/Coors/Carlsberg. The Guinness was fairly bland too. I had asked the staff if they had any craft beer in the fridge and was told no, but noticed on the way out they had cans of IPA in the fridge from a fairly poor quality local brewery. Either they didn't know it was there or knew not to sell it... Get some decent beer in lads and we'll be back again.

Omg what ignorant staff door staff lovely but bar staff horrendous a girl called Diana said she wasn't serving and totally ignored me and went to serve the person next to me smiling at the men my friend earlier was treated with a lot of disrespect as we are all middle aged ladies maybe the younger generation need to learn a bit of respect

We spent 10 minutes in the place. I decided to take 3 friends on their first visit to Northern Ireland, around Belfast, and the Hatfield was the first pub that we visited. After buying 4 pints of Guinness a guy came to our table and explained about it being a nationalist pub and it was in our interests to leave. That the probably the best experience of the bitter feelings expressed by certain people in Belfast that I could have wished for, so the other 3 guys realised how it was so difficult for some bitter individuals to move on. We ventured into East Belfast where we couldn't have wished to meet more welcoming people. I love Belfast, but there's still areas to avoid.

First time in Belfast, here for a gig at Belsonic and decided for a pit stop. Really friendly/helpful staff, cosy atmosphere, good tunes and an excellent selection of beers. Totally recommend.

While we stayed nearby, we went off touring and searching for an authentic Irish pub only to find this gem in our backyard with great live music and a cool vibe!
