The Back Bar (aka Cobbles) has always been home to the more musically and artistically minded. Students mix with Backpackers, Workers with Dossers. It prides itself on providing an alternative in Belfast, a counter culture bar if you like. Something different yet familiar, something new yet traditional for the left of centre crowd.

Throughout the years it has provided a home for the followers of various music based movements including Hippies, Beatniks, Rockers, Mods, Bikers, Punks, Metalers, Beat Freaks and Indie Heads. It is Belfast’s bohemian bar and offers an unique blend of people, atmosphere and entertainment.

Music is the life blood of this bar and as you would expect the entertainment programme has been designed to encompass all aspects of real music. The jukebox library is constantly expanded to include more great music by more classic acts.

Each night on a weekly basis has its own dedicated sound or musical theme. You will hear all aspects of underground music from the last 50 years or so including Classic Rock, New Wave, Folk Rock, Punk, Reggae, Indie, Alternative rock, Electronica, Funk, Hip Hop, Roots, Ska, Prog, Singer Songwriters, Grunge, Country, Goth, Rock n Roll, Soul, Original R&B, Dub, Britpop, Rockabilly, Beats, Unplugged live acts, and Open Mic session.

The adjoining Beer Garden, an outside heated area for smokers, drinkers and eaters is wired to air all Back Bar entertainment. This is a first in Belfast as the smoking area feels part of the bar with the same atmosphere and entertainment. With a plasma screen and all weather speakers this beer garden reflects the character of this great pub.

Bar Food / Pub Grub served until 9pm daily with meal deals available.

And dont forget the Birthday Promotion where if you show your ID at the bar within a week of your birthday you'll receive a free bottle of bubbly.
