Nightlife
NightlifeThe Cathedral Quarter, around City Hall, Golden Mile (Gt. Victoria St, Botanic Ave and Bradbury Place) and around Queen's University are the main social hubs. A few authentic traditional Irish bars can also be found in the Docks area and just west of the city centre To help you navigate your way around the city’s barstrewn streets, check out this chapter's handy sections.
OPENING HOURS
Licensing hours are Mon-Sat 11:30 - 23:00 and Sun 12:30 - 22:00. Bars and clubs with a late license can play music and serve food and drink until 01:00 - and stay open even later. Yello at Mynt and Event at the Kremlin are the city’s two main early hours club nights.
A 30min drinking up time applies to all the above - but only at the manager’s discretion. So listen up, drink sensibly and - if you’re not based within walking distance - try and have your lift there and back organised in advance. Finding a taxi at closing time can be the led lining on an otherwise good night out.

Kremlin
I have to agree with all these peeps there is absolutely no need for the cheek of the bouncers. I used to be a regular here and went one night after a few months and the quality of customer service I received by one was completely unnessescery....Kremlin
I agree with Hamble. The Kremlin is no longer a gay bar not that I'm against integration it's just that when you get there all youfind are str8 women their boyfriends and a few guys who may or may not be gay....Kremlin
The Krem has used to be a great club. It's gone seriously downhill since the refurb. It's now lost most of its gay identity and actually not a place you can go and enjoy yourself if you are gay....The Pipeworks Sauna
Visited mid-week and enjoyed it a lot. Very popular between 1 00pm and 2 00pm with young office worker guys....The Pipeworks Sauna
The place was clean and the staff and customers were friendly. Appears to be very popular with foreigners visiting Northern Ireland....Rex Bar
why would it be a very bad idea? the rex bar gets many many visitors from all over ireland and around the globe it's one of the most friendly bars within belfast the staff are brilliant and make all visitors welcome....Union Street
i worked there the first 6 months it was open and the security staff were really great back then. times have no-doubt changed....Rex Bar
Joe Dublin, it would be a very, very bad idea for you to visit there....Kremlin
Liked the place but the doorstaff are so rude maybe ignorant is the word im looking for. wouldnt rushback, ...The Pipeworks Sauna
THE PIPEWORKS WAS JUST OK, STEAM ROOM AND SHOWERS ARE SMELLY AND NEED CLEANED, THE GUY AT THE DESK WASNICE AND CHATTY BUT THE THE PLACE IN GENERAL IS DIRTY AND NOT HYGENIC, NEEDS A DEEP CLEAN....Rex Bar
serious question....i'm from Dublin, would I survive a visit to the Rex as I' M fascinated by ...Kelly's Cellars
Hi I always drank in Kelly's, the best pub for a Guinness. I now live in Australia, going back next year looking forward to a Guinness....Box
i love it, my favourite place to come! my kinda music and scene. and theres not that many tramps...Mynt
It was a terrible club, 10 pounds in, some douche reported me to a bouncer for "dancing in my space"....The Pipeworks Sauna
actually would prefer a night when there is a more mature (like myself )clientele say over 40 anywaywhen ...
