Drinks & Nightlife
Arguably the nicest bar in Belfast. Outdoor seating near the water with a big crazy fire pit and bocce in summer as well as a nice atmosphere indoors. Go here for cocktails or try their many varieties of home brew. A word of caution: Their beer is strong. Food is also served, though it’s not their strong point. Live music occasionally

Sightseeing
This bridge built in 1921 as a war memorial linked workers on Belfast’s east side to the sardine and boat building operations on the opposite bank. The bridge offers fantastic views of the harbor. A boardwalk on the opposite side connects to downtown and to the rail trail. Belfast continues to have a working waterfront. Check out some beautiful boats at Front Street shipyard along the way.
