Art and Culture in Belfast

"Kelly’s Cellars, or “Kelly’s” for short, is Belfast’s oldest pub. It dates all the way back to the 18th century, with low doors and a waist-height bar — people were smaller in those days. There’s a plaque on the white stone exterior to commemorate the Society of United Irishmen, who used Kelly’s as a meeting place before the 1798 rebellion. Inside, there are photos of more recent visitors, including the Dubliners and Leonard Cohen. Possibly the most authentic Irish pub in the world, Kelly’s is a hive of traditional music. Musicians gather almost every night of the week to sit in the corner, drink pints of stout, and blast out jigs and reels until the late hours." - MATADOR_NETWORK
