Music & Nightlife

There is more entertainment in Northern Ireland than you could quiver a proverbial stick at. A evening out in Northern Ireland is a night out to remember so why not try several? Whether it's classy cocktails or some pints with friends, a gig or a bop on a dancefloor every city, county, town and village has something to give every night owl. Around here we get busy after dark so let’s go and hold some craic.

Big it up in Belfast

Let’s kick it all off in the capital. Belfast comes alive at late hours and if you’re sipping cocktails from the fifth floor Perch or the boho Treehouse at AM:PM then you’re sure to spot it starting to sparkle. After you’ve treated yourself with some early evening drinks why not get down into the Cathedral Quarter and check out some traditional Irish music in the funky Dirty Onion or some toe-tappin’ bluegrass in the rootsy Sunflower. This part of town is also dwelling to some of the city’s finest restaurants like The Muddler’s Club and the buzz about the place is infectious.&
