Whites Tavern, Belfast

As it proudly proclaims on it's outside wall, Whites Tavern is Belfast's oldest pub dating back to 1630. It has a rather more modern exterior but whilst it might not look like Belfast's oldest tavern I found it one of the friendliest with the famous Irish “craic“ well in evidence. An impromptu guitar session was going on outside on my first visit and a young lady insisted, despite my protestations, on buying my pint because she had jumped in front of me at the bar (I could drink all night for free in London on that basis). On my second visit it was quieter as it was during the afternoon but I got chatting to a guy about local pubs and Belfast in general and we could easily have ended up sharing a few more beers if I hadn't had other plans.
