Fibber Magees
Fibber Magees is found just off Blackstaff Square, at the back of Robinsons.
Fibber Magees is truly a step back in time. The peat is crackling as it burns in the huge fireplace and there's music! It's uilleann pipes, fiddle and whistle played with flamboyant precision.
Traditional musicians entertain night after night to a throng of people and the craic is always good. You can join us for a pint and live the past at Fibbers.

Love Fibbers. Have friends coming up on monday night and wondering if it's good to take them there?

Just came back from a weekend in Belfast and as Fibber Magees was very close to the hotel we stayed, we spent most of the weekend there!!! The entertainment was very good and got the crowd going. BUT I must say the bar staff need a course on customer services, both Friday and Saturday night there were a few different faces behined the bar and a few staff (not all) were very rude and abrubt and made it clear that they will serve who they wanted to and not who was next and they didnt even mind telling you that either. Overall a very good pub with good entertainment, friendly customers BUT found bar staff to be very rude.

Hi John, they are two fellas called McForien and Duv or else just McForien Duv - I don't know which or what it means. They are class craic, they play most weekends in Dukes hotel and only in Fibbers every once in a while. I wish they did get a regular slot down here though cos they always make it a great night. Good luck.

Went to Fibber Magees on Saturday night and two young fellas were playing an acoustic folk set. Unbelievable, I want to know where I can see them again, I asked the bar staff and they didn't seem to know. Can anyone help? Thanks

I LOVE THIS PLACE TO DEATH, BUT I WISH THEY WOULD GET SOME NEW ACTS IN FIBBERS. SAME NAMES AND FACES FOR YEARS NOW. OK FOR VISITORS - BUT A BIG YAWN FOR THE LOCALS.

The greatest bar in Belfast and probably the world! Great music, good company and a fantastic atmosphere, particularly Friday and Saturday nights (who cares if you're packed in like sardines!).
Can't wait wait to be back on 28/29th December.

The drink is expensive, the Guinness is just alrite too. It can be good durin the wk when it's quieter but at the weekend you can't move! Much older crowd than other bars, or discerning, shall we say. Not a bad spot, I'd recommend it to tourists.

There's NEVER a bad night in Fibbers, 7 days a week. Except poss Thurs & Sat when the band "Blackstaff" are playing. Really crap. Needs replacing. Played here far too long and too often. But not that bad if you're not fussy about what you hear?
"The Craic is 90". Sunday is usually the best night. Busy but not overcrowded. Highly recommended.
Get in early (ie before 10pm) if you need a seat. This place packs in really quickly.

Hi. Just got back from a weekend in Belfast. Tried the local pubs including The Crown(Belfast Ale is pretty strong) but the best place i went to was Fibber Magee's. Great company, great music, great ale. Definitely going again.

Went to belfast 2 year ago and i sampled many pubs over the weekend but this one stands out above the rest. Great beer, great music, great environment, most importantly great customers (local and visitors just like me).
