🤣 cheers pal
Does bangin mean good? thanks from NZ
He never went to where the craic is. Dodgy pubs in any major Town. Keeps mentioning titanic & Ship yard which ws a bastion of sectarianism. The Shankill Rd 🤦
@@pithius2191yes ☺️
It’s only “rough” because of the history and the fears/prejudices of people who live here. If you’d went to the Falls Road you would have got the same warm welcome even in the dingiest spots. Avoid politics and it’s rare you’ll get hassle in any bar. Thanks for visiting!
Facts!. 99.9% of people are great decent hard working caring people. im from the falls. Like most political conflicts it all started from bronze-age god beliefs that have festered through every country in the world. these then became political and powe rbased. the science age is slowly changing things. I grew up catholic like someone who grew up on the shankill protestant. im 41 but the younger ones on both sides grow up able to think for themselves and realise that theres no difference. we are all just humans. Thanks for coming to belfast!!
@@joshuahowie1863 English chap here. Been to Belfast a fair few times now, usually make a point of going every year for 9 days plus. Have literally walked/staggered the length and breadth of the city, and can honestly say I've done pubs and clubs from Andersontown to East Belfast and the far north of the city right down to Ballynafeigh. Never had any grief whatsoever. I love the warm hospitable people who make me feel welcome, and I've met my fair share of fantastic chaps from both sides of the "fence". Like most places I guess if you avoid being a tw@t you'll live to tell the tale!
@@BelfastManUtdTherapyI have relatives in Derry and have passed through Belfast many times on my way there after travelling over from Liverpool on the boat. I will make a point of stopping in Belfast next time. Good post but must admit i'm not too keen on your profile name. Lol.
@@first4wins192i take it your a liverpool fan then lol its all good. Honestly you should stop in belfast sometime on your travels and do a pub crawl. belfast is a different place now than it used to be 20-30 years ago!
As a Catholic just in the southern side of the border, i think if I went into any of the bars in the shankhill road I'd not feel particularly safe with my accent, but that's not me being prejudice as I'm honestly not. But I know if a Protestant went into a Catholic bar they'd feel the exact same. Which is a shame as end of day we are all just the same people when you take religion and politics out of it. I don't see things changing anytime soon though unfortunately as you have idiots on both sides who continue to keep that hatred and bigotry alive.
If you are looking 'rough' don't go out in the afternoon, start out at 9pm and work from there
Rubbish. Everywhere CLOSES at 9 now
exactly what i was thinkin
Nowhere is "rough" at 2.00. Go at 9.00. Don't fucking be at ur shite
He knows that that's why he doesn't.
@@jennymccullough9517 Maybe were a Celtic top.Lol
I lived in Belfast 1992-1995. Loved it. First visit to Belfast was 1982 I was 12. Went again in 1985 and 1988. My mother grew up there. North Belfast. Myself and my three brothers grew up in Brooklyn. Great times both cities.
Bro went to every Loyalist pub in the city and wonders why he can't find Murphy's😂
Because Murphy's is shit 😅
Do you even get Murphy's on pump anywhere in Belfast? I thought it was more a Southern, or specifically Cork thing. I know a lot of people see Guinness as the embodiment of Irishness, but in reality, wasn't Arthur Anglo-Irish and very prejudiced against the native Dublin Irish Catholics. I think you couldn't work at Guinness if you were Catholic until maybe the 1960s.. in fact, I think you even got sacked if you were a Protestant who married a Catholic.
@@samwallace7313 Except it’s not. At all.
You would even struggle to find Murphy's on tap in Dublin. It's more of a Cork/Kerry thing. Lovely stout though.
@@blackcats3951 each to their own tbh, I don't like it others do.
I had a neighbor in Pittsburgh Pa USA who had come from Belfast to learn surgical techniques at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School. He was a brain surgeon . The neighborhood loved he and his family. We talked a lot about Belfast. He felt Belfast was a pretty violent place and much of his work was related to that. Gunshots , bludgeonings and the like. This was 15 years ago. Hope they are well.
I served in the British Army in Belfast in the 80s and 90s. In the 90s off duty in Bangor I met a woman who lived in the Short Strand. We went out a few times and one night she took me to the Beehive Pub on the Falls Road. I needed a few pints before crossing into a 'red' area, plus a whiskey seeing as I was going into a Republican bar. One of the best nights I've had in years! I spotted a few 'personalities', provos, that was a bit squeaky bum time, but it was a great pub. I also attended the Lower Ormeau residents bank holiday open air concert. That was a bit worrying, got quizzed so many times, but again I was treated okay and had a great night.
Youre one crazy man Brother 😅😅
Respect
You have balls of steel.
The beehive bar isn't a republican bar lol. Glad you enjoyed your time on the falls were not all bad.
Beehive not a republican bar.
'We are welcoming' The sign has about 25 different versions of 'Welcome' from different languages, apart from of course...Irish. 😂👍🏻
REALLY???? I saw that sign but only saw some of the different languages but thought, well, their trying..... and now you tell me that. That's darkly funny. Some things die hard, I guess.
My mrs is from N Ire , been to belfast many times .
Bloody great place to visit .
Never had a problem with anyone in Belfast , great people .
Great place too shop in the centre , real solid people salt of the earth .The Crown is a great place to go , when its quiet .
Real history .
100% true mate
The Crown is great 4 the decor, done by Italian joiners when moonlighting but overrated pub, Duke of York and whites tavern far better
we are great. lol its just some support liverpool still..... oj the past is behind us, belfast is on the up!
@@BelfastManUtdTherapy Agreed.................................👍👍👍
If I was in the Crown right now, I think Bass from cask would be my choice.
I’m Northern Irish currently living in Yorkshire, this was a great video to watch and one thing I miss about back home is how friendly we are, hope you enjoyed your visit 🤙🏻
True mate, very chilled vibe, loved it
Just hope and pray you get over , ever deciding to settle in Yorkshire 🤭🤭🤭
You always miss that when you leave Ireland. Something is missing, it's a hole that wells up in the soul.
Your Irish you mean
@@eringobreathtiocfaidharla1446 There’s always one😅Northern Irish born and bred my friend, i’ve always had a british passport and used sterling pounds.
The 'danger' is relative. Locals will react more positively to a tourist than another local, especially a stranger. The Falls and Shankill are less than a mile apart and people from both sides know each other. There was no danger for you because of what I just said. But locals from either side venturing into one another's pubs wouldn't be so safe. Also, walking into a pub on a Saturday afternoon is probably the safest time. I feel the atmosphere would be different later on in the evening. Anyway, I'm not trying to scare anyone, Belfast has worked hard to change attitudes and thankfully the worst seems to be behind us. £12 for a pint in Crown is laughable. The irony is, had that pub not been saved by tourism it would be just like all the rest you visited price included. Anyway, cheers for visiting Belfast, hope you enjoyed it!
@@EvilestGem it's £6 per pint. He bought two pints in there pal.
Agree with what you say about the "danger". Been in pubs on both sides of the fence. Thought my English accent would be an issue on the Falls side ages ago, but they were fine. If anything when I'm there I get random folk coming up to me enquiring about my holiday, why I'm there, what do I think of the place etc. Always a good atmosphere. I've probably staggered into every pub and club in Belfast (inc the ones on this vid) and have come out with a good impression and usually have a good time. I've met that many folk and made a few friends for life there too.
I'm glad that there is peace over there now. I remember being in the North back before the GFA in '98 and believe me the atmosphere was a lot different.
I am never going back to a PUB in north IRELAND .. no atmosphere there..
@@michaelheery6303 Big place, many MANY pubs and it depends what you like. I only really know Belfast but there is a pub for everyone's taste.
@@michaelheery6303 no one wants you there anyway you crank 😂
Give respect, get respect. Be smart, of course. I've traveled the world-and wits, kindness, and humility have never failed me.
All the pubs in Belfast pour a good Guinness but fealtys in bangor is another level..two taps,one room temp and other cold.
World class.
Proper consistent over there init!
@@honestplaces They're consistent because Guinness has a team of people that clean the lines, calibrate the nitrogen taps & train bartenders how to do it properly.
Also more people drink it so it's fresh.
Pour a bad pint of stout & you might as well shut down the shop ?
@@honestplaces Yes next time you need to hit uo Bangor and call into Fealtys. The pub hasn't had room in the cold room for the Guinness line, so the keg is under the bar and pours slow. Bullhouse East a craft beer ta\proom in Belfast, did have Beamish for a while. Hard to find, Murphys even harder.
no one drinks Guinness at room temperature. End of.
I was in Belfast a couple of weeks back and as a tourist I had to stop at the Crown. I didn't know about it before going there but when out walking and you see that building? You have to see what that's about. Tourist trap maybe but you have to give credit to that architecture. I went back later for dinner and it was good food with an amusing company of Brits sat next to us. Had an incredible Indian meal the next night with a random bunch of friendly Germans. The food scene, the friendly people (tourists and locals), the beautiful architecture everywhere and the wild amounts of brilliant street art make Belfast one place everyone should visit at least once.
Completely agree. Visited in June and its somewhere I'm going back to. Sunflower pub was worth finding.
The crown bar was famous years ago for black , white film
‘A disgusting tourist pub where everyone takes pictures of the Guinness’ says the man who films every pint of Guinness he drinks 😂

I will give this a viewing. I am from Fort Worth, Texas. Age 62. I used to drink in some of the most dangerous bars and pool halls possible. I saw way too many shootings back in the 70s. I will pass on rough these days.
Fort Worth is just full of young hipsters now. It’s actually got some decent spots. I live over in Austin and was there last year.

Was in belfast last week me and my son went into loads of pubs and majority of folk in belfast are great people so friendly and welcoming to outsiders real great city to visit
That street opposite Blinkers is North Street, 10-20 years ago it was a bustling street with an arcade which burnt down in 2004, the Main Street had pet shops, book shops, collectable shops, a country pursuits shop, hectors house record shop, travel agents, insurance brokers etc, now it's totally derelict apart from a pub down near the bottom, utterly shameful what the local council let it deteriorate into.
Titanic slipway is still there and the Thomspon Drydock were it sat is just down throat from Titanic Belfast at the pump house.
What a blast from the past! Went to the Crown in 2008 , I’m from Italy. Really enjoyed. Good beer, nice place.
absolutely smashing these videos out mate absolute quality as usual happy days
Cheers pal, really appreciate it
This video has made me so thirsty I'm going to get drunk and accomplish nothing today. 😅
Excellent video. Pubs in the UK are true works of art.
Thanks for the video.
I’ve never felt more welcome than in the Belfast and by those down to earth people in the Shankhill Road pubs.
Been to Belfast many a time and always had a warm welcome. Worked for a northern Irish company and have many northern Irish friends. Really friendly country
Nice 1 you’re always welcome
Northern Ireland is a country. The four country’s that make up Great Britain Scotland, wales, Northern Ireland and England

The Rex Bar used to be the haunt of the UVF. It was the scene of serious disorder between the UVF and Johnny Adair's UDA company which ultimately led to Adair being exiled from NI by the UDA.
Mental back in the day init
@@honestplaces they riddled the rex with automatic gunfire that day was a fair few killed during that feud army had to patrol area again and people walking about with bullet proof vests on hundreds of people removed from their homes when it kicks off on Shankill it kicks off lol. Have drank in all of those pubs at some stage apart from the pony club dunno if its still there but the berlin bar was another one id go to the odd time.
@@kennymitchell4361 Berlin bar is shut now pal.

I've been drinking Guinness for years but never heard of the splitting the G drinking game til I saw this channel, i've got all my friends playing it now. It's all kicking off! 🍺
🤣🤣🤣 bangin that....go on!
Same here!
It's a load of shite started by the Guinness Guru who in fact isn't even a Guinness drinker
Played that in the ship inn Anglesey last Saturday lol. I've never quite got it
@@danbreen6946 known people doing it for years before guru
I grew up in County Cork. Letting the Guinness settle before giving it to the customer is a pretty normal thing. You can tell it's a good Guinness pub when you see 10+ pints settling on a busy night. Good video brother.
These videos are quality pal, been a subscriber for couple of months ,really enjoy them.
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
Im a big @honestplaces fan. His content is always bangin'. I actually enjoyed the video because of the fact he dosent seem to know anything or have any interest in the conflict (I might be wrong, just he dosent seem to mention it at all). Just treated it like any other town which I found quite refreshing to be honest! Particularly as they were all places i wouldn’t feel comfortable visitng myself.
He has the ignorance of a yank which is far from a compliment 🤦♂️
I'm from Manchester and been up the Shankill a few times. The people are great and treat you like their own, they will even put you up for the night. Salt of the earth people and great to party with.
Yeh i felt chilled there pal. Alright init
@@honestplaces Yes mate, they are top notch, we have lost that community spirit.
@shutup2751about as welcoming as the catholics would be to proddies on the falls road or Andy town. Fuck off prick.
It's called the heel and ankle
Toughest bar is in cromac street, it can fit 1,000 people in the toilets!
When Robert MxCartney was murdered, everyone was in the toilet 😮
If you want to try Guinness, Murphys and Beamish and interesting pubs, I'd recommend visiting Cork city.
Place is a republican dump full of druggies and tramps.
An Teach Beag Cork is a great little spot. I would've said The Lobby Bar but that one closed down the last time i checked.
Definitely a great idea to visit Cork to sample all the best stouts.
The Ulster Sports Bar in Belfast City centre do a great Beamish.
@@TheLastAngryMan01 Maybe back in the 90s
Could have just gone to the Duke Of York and got all 3. And The Sunflower does Beamish which is top drawer
Looking forward to part 2. There is a part 2 right?
For balance and full story telling 😂
Yes indeedy ,Falls calling 😉
The Falls Road is gentrified, all the kips are all in Loyalist areas 😂

Thank you for the tour of Belfast.
I absolutely loved the Back to the Future segment.., coincidentally the car was built in Belfast … i am sure you knew that though!
17:12 the close up made me lol.
Put the phone right in his boat. 😂😂
Love the vids mate!
Brilliant mate watching this took me back 30 years when I used to play in a band and the royal bar and the diamond jubilee was two pubs we played in very often the diamond jubilee was known as the dirty diamond we were playing one Saturday night when armed men came in took over the stage and gave a speech that there would be no cease fire the place went mad, that was back when the cease fire was being talked about, fucking rough as fuck but one of the few bars that bought the band a drink at the end of the night
Jeeez. Sounds proper brutal back in the day!
My dad was a bar man in the pony club many years ago was great seeing it again 😊
Back in the '90s, I did some concrete work in Edmonton AB for an 89 year old gentleman who'd started working in the Harland and Wolff shipyard in 1929.
It was amazing meeting someone who likely worked with some of the men who'd built the Titanic and her sisters.
Enjoyed the video. I would be happy to go into any of those pubs and have a pint of Guinness. I suspect it might get more rowdy at nights and weekends during the football games. Great work. Cheers from the states! 👍🏽
You'll get a pint of Beamish in the Sunflower in Belfast. And lovely it is too.
Btw, in the crown, do you mean it was 12 quid for the two? Surely not £12 a pint?!
My father worked in a pub in the SandyRow area called the Blue bell bar in the sixties I am visiting Belfast next year first time in 60 years does anyone know if it still stands ?
I don't drink Guinness but you're videos really make me want to head out and get a few pints of the black stuff!
The Crown was built as what was called in the 19th century a 'gin palace'. They were built all over UK & Ireland and were always very highly decorated.
The Duke of York in the city centre sells both Murphys and Beamish on tap. And their Guinness is outstanding!
Fuming!
I did not know that, cheers and I live 12 miles away lol.
One of my favourite places when I was living over there, quality pub!
Best pub in belfast
Nice review, although to be fair, you were on a lunchtime session. Most of the rough pubs I've been in have also been pretty quiet during daytime; they only get really lairy at night. Try those pubs on a Friday or Saturday night before drawing too many conclusions 😄
I was at Uni there in the 80s and in the busy pubs they would start pouring the Guinness half an hour before opening to let it settle and make sure it was served at room temp - never chilled.
Proper way to do it!

We have an Irish pub in downtown tulsa Oklahoma by the name of Kilkenny's. It's as close as you can get to an old irish pub in the states.
They serve bangers and mash and Guinness and other drafts by the pint or pitcher. The rest of our dives are "knife and gun clubs" or seedy biker bars and country music cowboy redneck beer joints...and then there's the "alternative outfits" not everyone's cup a tea.😂
Great vid i love the geezer vids like these pub crawl pint supping vids.Mountain View was worth a visit at the top of the Shankill.I was in there when there was a Liverpool v Man U game i think,it was about 15 years ago.But i remember fellas in guard uniforms having a few after work no doubt.That was a rough pub bit too rowdy.
Great video. I've always fancied a trip over to Northern Ireland. Seeing the friendliness of the people there, I shall have to do it.
Deffo get yourself there!

I was in Belfast working this summer. I stayed in that Maldron hotel he is stood in front of at the end. I walked out of that hotel, 6:00 on a weekday summer evening and some bloke was lying on the street being attended to by medics - blood everywhere. I think he'd been stabbed.
I've spent nearly 30 years travelling all around the UK for work and Belfast looks neglected.

In Belfast or certain parts of Glasgow, other Brits are usually very welcome. Also, times have changed and you would be welcome almost everywhere. I love what you do. During the troubles you would have experienced things very differently because of your accent and short hair 😂.

Just saw my own car drive past. Welcome to Belfast man! Been watching for a while. It’s not as bad as everybody says. Only grew up in the 90’s/early 2000’s; never knew the troubles but always feel welcome on the Falls and Shankill as well as the East. Everybody is welcome; just don’t go wearing SPL t-shirts 😂. Good to have you!
Edit: only place I’ve ever found Murphy’s in the UK (not well travelled in the Republic) was Glasgow, Kitty O’Sheas and Waxy O’Connors (where I worked, but don’t sell it anymore unfortunately 🙁 the former still do though!)
Mate thanks for that info! Well hard to find!
@@honestplaces No bother! But it’s a breath of fresh air when you do. Make sure to try out Caffrey’s if you do find yourself in Waxy’s!

"What time is it? About 6 O'clock now?"
"It's quarter past three".
Decent Guinness tbf.
Really expected you to try some Falls Road pubs after the Shankhill, about the two most known places from the troubles! You need a part 2
Maybe 👀
Fair play to youse gents. Refreshing to see an honest part of my city portrayed in an honest light. BTW a test of a good pint of Guinness is if you can rest an old Victorian one penny piece on top without it sinking through the head. Hope you both enjoyed the rest of your stay.
Never heard that trick! Cheers pal 👍🍺
I wouldn't recommend trying that
I went as a belgian 2 times, went on my one to a pub to load my phone, the lads where pretty impressif, but once i told them i was on my own to discover some things about there history i was one of them, i ended in a reagae party, just being myself they had lots of respect, and i had the same feeling, authentic lads, great night!!!!
