Purportedly dating from 1630 Whites Tavern claims to be the oldest pub in Belfast. Located down an alley it is easily missed and I’d have not found it without the Pubs Galore app. The L-shaped interior is dimly lit with seating and an old fireplace to the left of the bar that faces a large wooden double sided gate on the front of the pub. Seating runs along this wall and then up the right hand side. The bar is very low, in fact there are a couple of chairs at the right edge where a couple were sat using the bar as a table. The back bar is exposed brick and old wooden beams run from front to back along the length of this pub that feels a bit like an old outhouse. Some of these beams are covered with old bank notes, most of which are dollars. I found the service to be very friendly and just before I left a couple of fiddlers set up at a table and started playing some Irish folk music. The Guinness was very good and I liked it in here so would pop back if in the area again.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Whites Tavern

Hidden away in an alleyway, this place claims to be Belfast's oldest pub but apparently it has moved premises at some stage (which explains why it doesn't look anything like as old as it should). Obviously very popular, though, but this makes getting served in the small bar quite tricky and then nowhere to sit down. No real ale either, so went for the anodyne Caledonia Smooth. On the plus side, there was a good atmosphere outside with some entertaining live music going on.

Although I'd been in here twice before some years ago, it took me a while to find it, as it's hidden away up an alley. It's worth tracking down though, as it claims to be Belfast's oldest pub, dating from 1630, and looks the part. Dark and atmospheric, it was very quiet on my most recent visit, possibly because it was a Monday night.
