The Harp Bar Description

The Harp Bar, situated alongside its big brother the hugely famous Duke of York, is a pub like no other. Firstly, it is a proper public house for the mature drinker selling crisps, dulse, coffees, independent draught beers and extensive whiskies and at all times “Belfast Craic” with a huge heart. Secondly, it is a live music venue on two floors hosting home-grown talent from the likes of Van Morrison etc. Both of these factors attempt to recreate the once famous “atmosphere” synonymous with its predecessor the 1970’s Harp Bar. The Harp, incorporating the Dunvilles & Swinging Diddy Lounges is decorated in plush red velvet fabrics and adorned with antique furnishings resonant with Victorian Belfast. Walls and cabinets feature rare Belfast whiskey – branded mirrors and memorabilia inspired by the buildings origins as a bonded warehouse - the headquarters of The Old Bushmills Distillery Company. Pride of place is given to a large Victorian Cash Desk which was rescued from the St James Gate Brewery in Dublin. Just call in and you will enjoy a huge welcome from a proper pub with a huge “Belfast Spirit. ”

we had an amazing time at this bar, but have to say big shout out to the lady bouncer marie i think is her name, yous need to keep her and not let her go, she was so friendly and welcoming, always smiling ÔøΩ

User

Went 2 harp bar on intentions of having a couple then moving on arriving at about half 1 i never left until half 8 .I had already seen 2 singers before a three piece group came on great music and friendly staff and even when the place got really busy I never had 2 wait at the bar for a drink as there was plenty of bar staff

User

We were in the Harp last weekend and once again we had such a brilliant night. The music is always great and the two bands playing (Kieran Mckillop & the broadcast) took the roof of the place. This is without doubt my favourite bar in Belfast. Best staff, best venue and best music. Cannot recommend highly enough if you're in townÔøΩÔøΩ

User

We had a fantastic night at the harp bar. Atmosphere was great, bar staff, door staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful . Music was great. Definatly will be back.

User

Thanks to Marie for getting us a table and making sure we were having a good night! Above and beyond customer service ÔøΩÔøΩ

User

Super extension to an already great bar. Great atmosphere and super staff as well, definitely be back! ÔøΩ

User

One of the best bars in Belfast, great music and atmosphere! Also can't rate the lady bouncer high enough.. unfortunately didn't get her name, she is the best bouncer ever!!! ÔøΩÔøΩÔøΩ

User

Marie is the girl who made me and Julie feel so safe in Belfast .. couldn’t be without her Xxx

User

I had an amazing night last night in the Harp bar, booging to The City Band with buddies. Harp bar is by far my favourite bar in Belfast, it was buzzing with everyone singing and dancing. Staff are so friendly ;) no long waiting for a drink at the bar and bouncer staff up for a laugh with a wee singsong and dance. Brilliant atmosphere bar x

User

Had put end of year party upstairs last night . Amazing place . Bar staff lovely . 2 ladies singing were fantastic . Female Security guard (can’t remember her name ) was great so helpful and great banter . Food was amazing too . Great place to round our year up brilliant night . Would defo recommend . �

User

Had a great time at the harp bar great atmosphere and music! Wanna say Marie the bouncer is fantastic couldn't do enough for people finding them seats, trying to find places for people to stand collecting glasses! Always smiling definitely a gem in this establishment! Will definitely be back ÔøΩ

User

Doorman was brilliant last night. Bar was packed. Had a bit of banter with them on way in. Was leaving as bar was so bunged. He ran upstairs to check if there was space and led us up to an empty table. First class service. Bar service was excellent. After first time at bar the barman remembered the order. Brilliant service all round x

User

Best bar in Belfast!!! Went to Belfast for my 40th and ended going in every night we were there. Live music was brilliant, great friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. Well worth going in for a night out. Cant wait to go back in on our next visit!

User

Absolutely amazing bar! Live music is iconic ; we visited Wednesday night and the place was full- good music dancing and a brilliant atmosphere ÔøΩa must visit if in the area ÔøΩÔøΩ

User

Was here on a Thursday night, not the busiest night of the week. However a bouncer stood in front of the band all night. Why ??? no idea doesn't happen on a busy Saturday night.

User

Always great music and good lively crowd in. Only complaint is the horrendous seating set up in the main bar. I beg you Harp Bar to pay someone to come in to advise you how to best utilise your seating area lol. It’s chaos! Surely it can be improved. But other than that it’s a great wee bar !!

User

In relation to an incident that has left my friemd with a possible concusion last night...Could you please tell me what you policy is on your doormen witnessing a sexual assult? Do they remove that person? They didn't last night and the result was my friend getting headbutted and kicked. She is female and the person that sexually assaulted her was male. He was not removed even tho the doormen spoke to him for about 3-5 mins and consequently his wife headbutted her an hour later and he kicked her while she was on the ground. The police will be in contact with your management but I would like a response on this please?

User

I would love to say that it’s a lovely bar.. however I can’t say because as we walked up to the doorman we were noticed it’s over 25’s only apparently.. on a Wednesday night? But the catch of the story was that 3 members of our party was already in the bar but funny enough aged 21 and 19.. Id like to be notified what was the problem for 4 people aged 21 to be denied entrance on the grounds it was over 25s but a 19 year old was allowed enterance!? Many thanks from the group of 8 that was denied enterance

User

I would leave 0 stars if I could. I HAVE never,in my life been treated as little as I have been tonight. Turned away as it is an over 25’s bar. I was sober and was still turned away as the bouncer just didn’t like the look of a few of my friends, eventhough 8 of our party got in 5 mins before. I have a video of the cheek and disrespect I was shown(I can show if needed). The bar sets a high standard but did not deliver tonight. Completely ashamed that I visited this bar in the past and will not set foot in it again. DO NOT VISIT THIS BAR, ATROCIOUS SERVICE.
