Here are, from what I could find, the most well known of the bars.
Everyone wants to compare Belfast and Dublin and this is perhaps an example. Belfast is a town of industry. They made things here before the 30 years of recent strife. It feels very much less tricked out for the tourists but that makes total sense since up until recently Belfast was considered a risky destination. As an example the whole Titanic center just opened in late 2012.
Here’s something from wikitravel: “Shattered by more than three decades of paramilitary conflict, Belfast has undergone a renaissance in recent years and is now a vibrant, modern city. It has been voted the fourth best city in the UK for a city break in the Guardian/Observer travel awards.”

I have to get ready now and sleep soon because tomorrow I’m off at 7am to see the Giant’s Causeway, back very late, and then the next day I have to be out at 5:30AM(!) to make my transfer to Edinburgh.
