Beer Gardens in Belfast

One of the most popular places for outdoor drinks in Belfast, The Duke of York is a winner at all times of the year. Head inside during the colder months or mingle with Northern Ireland's finest with a pint in hand when the sun's shining.

Not only is Filthy McNasty's one of the finest venues around, but it's also hiding one of the best beer gardens in Belfast too. Stripped back and layered in festoon lighting, the Dublin Road hangout is bringing you a secret terrace, craft cans, live tunes, pizza and more.

With a beer garden that's perfect for all seasons, CARGO by Vertigo is perfect come rain nor shine. Tuck into pizzas and craft brews in the beer garden during the summer months, while pergolas, fire pits, heaters and covered marquees keep you comfy in winter.

Not only is The Dirty Onion and Yardbird boasting to live music, delicious rotisserie chicken and a great list of craft beers, but the city centre spot also has a heated beer garden for alfresco drinks all year round. During winter, you can even keep cosy by the open fire inside.

From those balmy afternoons where sunshine meets alfresco drinks to evenings spent chowing down on seafood among twinkling lights and wooden benches, Mourne should be on your list of the best beer gardens for outdoor dining and drinking in Belfast. 

Looking for beer gardens in the Cathedral Quarter? You can count on Sunflower Public House for outdoor drinks. Along with wood-fired pizza and treats for your four-legged friends, this dog-friendly haunt touts a fabulous range of Irish ciders and locally-brewed craft beer.

One of the coolest bars for outdoor drinks in Belfast, Town Square welcomes you with bottled ciders and beers, along with the likes of Magners, Rockshore, Hop House and Guinness on tap. If craft beer isn't your thing, go for alfresco brunching and live music.

A city centre beer garden complete with live sports, pints of Guinness for just a fiver and a tasty menu of steak? Lavery's has got everything that you'd need for alfresco drinks in Belfast. When you're not making the most of the outdoor space, head inside for Ireland's largest pool room and comedy nights.

A rooftop terrace that's taking Belfast's outdoor dining scene to new heights, Babel is the hotel spot that's home to sprawling city views, live entertainment, cracking teapot cocktails and a mega menu of brunch, beers and flatbreads.
