Haymarket, Belfast

The Brummies have moved so Peaky Blinders is now trading under the more upmarket moniker of Haymarket. This is a strange place, like a side street that has been covered and AstroTurfed. Tall barrels converted to tables run down the center of the ‘side street’ and a small serving counter is found within the right hand wall. A standard keg range was available alongside Peroni and Fruli. At the rear is a large room with more seating and televisions are found throughout for showing live football. Nothing was on during my recent midweek visit so these were muted in favour of some background music. Also at the rear are a couple of units that were closed, I imagine food is available from these when they’re open because street food is advertised. I found the service to be extremely friendly, but this place isn’t for me.
