McHughs
The oldest pub in Belfast or so it claims (albeit with an overhaul inside) A 5-10 minute walk to the Odyssey, depending on how many pints you've had - just watch crossing the road ! They know hockey has arrived - Tambo has already read the riot act to one of the managers on Challenge Cup Final Day !!! Not a pub for those real-ale drinking purists from Nottingham, but we've called it home this season because of it's closeness to the arena. (I think Kendra called it a fizzy lager establishment in her Belfast tour review) Theres GOOD Guinness on tap and let's face it - anythings better than what you have to suffer in England at least. There's food available upstairs if you're peckish as well. It's a nice looking place with some character. Definitely a good place to meet some GIANTS before a game and get directions or a friendly guide to the arena if you're not sure how to get there. After matches, it gets a little crowded particularly on Friday and Saturday nights - generally we find somewhere else to go - just make sure you've checked with us before leaving the arena! Rating 4 pints (losing one pint because of the weekend crowds) |
