Blue Scrumpy left this review about Woodworkers
The Woodworkers was the final tick for me to complete all Belfast pubs in the Good Beer Guide again. How it appears in the Good Beer Guide, I'm not quite sure, as all of the beers are keg.
You enter into quite an atmospheric high ceilinged room with an impressive bar counter. Screens display the various craft beer options. This room gives way to a lower ceilinged rear section where I chose to sit. Off to the left, you can enter the adjoining Lavery's bar, which seemed to be much noisier and a lot less civilised. There was also an upstairs area I didn't explore.
Beer options were Liquid Light Now & Then, Ormeau Brew Symphony, Boundary Pillows, Unnecessary Symmetry, Imbongo, I Know The Difference & Any of the Colours, Buxton Trolltunga, Tempest Fruit Machine, Play Brew Lime & Mint Mojito, Stealth Brew Covert Big Six & Toppling Goliath Pseudo Sue. The cider was Mac Ivor's Ruby Black.
As Strongers says, this area to the south of Belfast city centre seems to have quite a lively nightlife scene. The Woodworkers seemed to be open until midnight, whilst other places were open later. I did try to drop into a couple that I thought would be open, but their opening hours online were incorrect. So, the Woodworkers ended up being my final stop of the day.

Woodworkers seems to be the crafty side of Laverys next door and there’s an interconnecting door in the left wall. The interior is J-shaped with seating up some steps down the longer right hand side. A couple of screens hanging from the ceiling were listing 14 craft keg beers which ranged from How Wonderful Cloudwater Brew, 3.7%, £5.70 a pint to Parade Beak New England IPA, 6%, £9.00 a pint. The food menu is the same as next door, the burger is priced at £14, and the double is £17.50 which is top end for any pub I visited during my stay in Belfast. It was comfortable in here during my midweek evening visit, but I imagine it gets a bit hectic at the weekend. This area seems to be the late night part of Belfast so I’ll probably not venture down here again now that I’ve been.
