I have to agree with comments. I went into this bar and found everyone extremely friendly. I am a catholic from Donegal and was a bit concerned about being in there but one of the regulars got up and played 'The Boys of Killybegs come rolling home' on the juke box. I have to say some of the women looked a bit intimidating but I am sure they were as nice as the men.

My husband and I were visiting Dublin a year and a holf on vacation and a friend of ours from Minnesota told we had to make the trip to Belfast to get a couple of pints at the Royal. Let me say that it was worth the train ride just to experience the wonderful atmosphere that the Royal and its patrons had to offer. The owner Cooper took great care of us and told us about all the history of the city and of Northern Ireland. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I have never felt so welcome at any bar in all my life. I hope everyone who has the chance to step into a Belfast bar chooses the Royal over any other.

Just fantastic. The Karoke on Sunday afternoons is a HOOT.! Only popped in to watch a bit of live football, but could hardly leave the craic was so mighty. Started straight after the match, so there was no escape. As if I wanted to.
Noisey, rough, basic, but the people are diamonds. Will be back - and may even give a wee tune next time...

I visited Belfast in July as part of a 3 month trip to europe from Australia. Over the 3 months I did a lot of drinking, in a lot of countries, but The Royal is the most amazing place ever! My best friend and I were both made to feel so welcome by the amazing regulars, some of which I'm still in contact with. We stayed at the hostel across the road and every time our new friends in the royal saw us coming they would make sure our drink was ready for us as we walked in the door. Our 2 nights in Belfast quickly extended to 4, before we quickly rushed around the rest of Ireland so that we could head back to the royal for another 3 nights! Wish i was there right now :)

I saw this bar and it looked interesting from the outside. I would love to go in and meet some of the locals but would be afraid I might not be made feel welcome because of where I'm from.

Visited The Royal after I read the comments on this site. Got curious. I have to say they are ALL TRUE!
Never would have believed a wee bar in Randy Sow could be such fun. Never dreamt of going there before - and I live not far away.
Good craic on Football nights. Women seem to be teated with respect.

I was over during the Summer with my Wife and 3 Daughters, and we were treated like Royalty, its a fabulous place to have a few beers and a blether with real Belfast people. We'll be stopping by the next time we're over in Belfast.
Do yourself a favour and visit the Royal you wont be disappointed.
cheers Stevie

Absolutely lovely people. I, accidentally, got stuck in the bathroom for five minutes and ended up getting free drink becuase of it! Unfortunately, it was the last place we came across before having to get back to the airport - otherwise, I know we would have ended up spending all night in there!

Just stumbled upon this wee bar whilst doing the tourist trip of Sandy Row, ended up in there for the whole weekend! All the locals were so friendly we really didn't want to come home, but no worries - Be Back Soon. If you get the chance to visit this is a MUST. Then you'll realise what Ireland is really about. X

This is a very friendly bar. Good prices. A great place to meet real local people. Eight rugby middle aged men from Wales had a fun time in this pukka bar

The Royal Bar in Sandy Row has to be the friendliest bar that I have ever had the chance to drink in. Each time I come to Belfast from the states I am treated like family and never leave unhappy or sober. Cooper and Ronnie run a great bar and Collin is one hell of a bartender. It even has a celebrity clientel. Thanks guys for treating me so well. Your Friend Tomm
