While the capital is home to a number of hidden hideouts, they’re only available to those in the know. Lucky for you, we’re willing to spill the beans just this once. From Prohibition-inspired jazz bars to drinking dens tucked away behind racy shopfronts, here are the best secret bars in Belfast. But remember… mum’s the word.


Sorry, the places listed below don't have online bookings available, but we hope you still find this list useful for your night out!
