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.

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.

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.

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.

In terms of the Guinness, there are Guinness 'quality teams' who travel around pubs to do checks on the quality of the pints and provide training for staff to make sure they're pouring the pints properly! God knows if it's some placebo effect, but I definitely think you can taste the difference between a well poured pint and a badly poured pint!

@@kevym8985 why is the man brave? It's probably the friendliest chillest city to visit on these isles. I got lost in the Falls on my second visit (I was steaming) and got helped to a McDonald's then the bus by some kind stranger. Always end up meeting chill people and having a good time when I go over. Only ever had one bit of aggro when I refused to buy some skank a drink on the Shankill...and that was quickly resolved.

Sunflower bar for a cracking pint of Beamish, you probably won't find Murphy's, I've lived here for 15 years and haven't seen it.

More south Murphys init

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

The supplier is the same for all those pubs. The equipment that gets the beer through pipes to the tap is all the same as its supplied by Guinness. That’s why it’s similar taste.

[@stevenatkinson6048]

The Guinness over there so nice because it comes from down the road(Dublin) Our Guinness isn’t too good because it’s been sat I the cask.. i lived there and worked in bars. That’s why it’s so popular its the biz.. Cool vid..

I'd love to go to the Diamond. Looks cool from the outside. I wouldn't be welcome though. There's a few oldschool like that on the Falls though Gilmartins aka The Fort on (Springfield Road) and The Rock (Rockmore Road). The same crafters that kitted out the Crown did these bars also. Italian I believe.

[@tatsnneeps341]

Someone is a pussy 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ondersteunwitboere2950]

You would be welcome, but like most local pubs, I wouldn't advise going after 10pm on a Friday or Saturday night That's the same with all local pubs the world over. They can tell who isn't a local Remember that many,many years ago strangers used to walk into pubs, have a quick pint, leave a bag under a table and walk out. Bang And this was all over belfast So a little suspicion of strangers is still there, especially after a night of drinking. The people of the shankill and the falls, are the salt of the earth, you would be safe and welcome everywhere, but maybe best before 6-7pm lol
