About Rex Bar

The Rex Bar 215 Shankill Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Rex Bar Description

Dating back to the 1865, the Shankill's oldest public bar is steeped in the history and tradition of the area, Actors such as Hollywoods hotshot Vince Vaughan, Tim Robbins and Tim's missus Susan Surandon are among the the international imbibers - no doubt all were keen to experience the real belfast. The bar sits beside some of the most photographed murals in Northern Ireland depicting Sir Edward Carson signing the Ulster Covenant and the untouched interior is festooned with flags, t-shirts and curious, paying testament to it's distinctly Unionist locale. Make no mistake, though, all tourist are made welcome no matter their political persuasion. And if you fancy a neck-tingling tale to accompany your pint, ask amiable owner Mark about the resident ghost.
