Fibber Magees

Love love live fibbers the groups they have are very good the staff are friendly and the pints are grest and you can get bar food which is always a bonus!

I absolutely love this wee bar! The session music is awesome! Has that cosy wee pub feel to it, with the possibility of headed into Robinson’s if you want something a bit more modern

Delicious spicy chicken sandwich! Also, the bartender was a really friendly and helpful old guy. Nice atmosphere, dimly lit pub just like I expected.

Best pub in Belfast. I’ve spent many great nights here. Just in for a Guinness at the end of a great weekend. A quiet pint, an old fashioned pub, great music in the afternoons and evenings. Just around the corner from the Crown which should be visited on an educational basis then out the back door and nip into Fibbers for your Guinness.
No visit to the city is complete without an hour (or so) spent in Fibbers.

Traditional pub where you must get drunk at least once in your life! Lots of locals, the craic is great, you’ll make friends with everyone. Trad music most nights means be ready to dance with (former) strangers. Grumpy, efficient bartenders — perfect!
P. S. Don’t let your GPS fool you. Walk into Robinsons Bar, walk out what appears to be the back door, and enter Fibber.

Best bar in Belfast for my money love the place live music 7 nights a week good black stuff

This place is a Gem in Belfast.
First experienced it on my Hen do in May 2010, went back again in June 2010 and Dec 2010.
Absolutely love the place.
A good pub to drink in, great craic, an eclectic mix of people and lets not forget the Music– live traditional music Fiday and Saturday nights– the place is jammed but well worth you feet being stepped on.
Make sure you visit it at least once in your lifetime!

My favorite Belfast Bar! Yes, I know it is a bit touristy… but the music is always great and the crowd is always lively. It is my first stop whenever I am in Belfast! Love it!

I always get a bit confused by this bar especially as it seems to be attached to the more popular (and lairy Robinsons) and both seem to attract totally different crowds. Having said that it’s been the scene of many’s a great night and it’s nice to see the ‘oirish’ pub thing done with a modicum of taste.
There’s usually some trad music on in the evenings and the little booths at the front are perfect for a more private quiet drink. It’s tucked away in a busy part of town so you can always get taxi’s home and there are plenty of eateries round about. Plus points for the Guinness as well.
Pros: Cool authentic little bar.
Cons: It’s pretty dark in there.

Fibber Magees is kind of like a slice of old rural Ireland in the middle of modern Belfast.
It’s a really cosy little bar out the back of Robinsons where you’re not likely to get a seat, but are very likely to hear a good traditional music session.
Like other reviewers, I’d agree that it gets a little too busy sometimes, but since you can either nip outside easily for some air, or slip through the doors and into Robinsons, overcrowding isn’t an insurmountable problem!

A traditional wee bar at the back of Robinson’s, It offers a quieter drink whilst still being part of the hustle and bustle of Robinson’s. The décor is stereotypically Irish and traditional and the bar hosts live music and great beer! Its a really enjoyable wee spot and whether you’re there for a quick drink or settling for the night you can be sure it’ll always be good craic.
The weekend sees the bar just as busy as the rest with stags and hens frequenting the landmark wee pub. But this adds to the excitement of a good night out in Belfast! Fibber Magees is a definite must for all you visitors to the city and it won’t disappoint!

It’s like going into a pub in Donegal or Galway, it’s got a great old-​world traditional Irish vibe, and feels authentic too. It’s small and kind of narrow, but always packed to the rafters with revellers and groups, and the mood is always fun and positive, with the crowd (in good weather and on warm nights) sometimes spilling out into the courtyard area out front. It’s got a really mixed crowd, all ages who enjoy Irish traditional music, because they have live bands and groups playing here most nights, and you can hear the music before you even make it near the door — probably a bit too loud in my opinion! It’s a great bar to bring visitors or tourists too, as they would enjoy that traditional feel and experience. They sometimes let too many people in, which is the only negative.
