Both my grandparents where regulars in this local bar, such a friendly place.
The atmosphere is electric,so many laughs where has by all the family
Was in one night not so long ago for a party, was great night! Good Craic, Good drink
I have drank in the Longfellow Bar on and off for over 47 years, seen it change hands many times, some for the better, some for the worse- especially the 70's. Surprised at an ex- manager bad mouthing the place. It's been said it is what it is, a local bar for local people. Pints are reasonably priced, like all places some great staff, some mediocre and some downright indifferent, but never rude or offensive, unless you deserve it. Then take as it comes.
New owner, new era, great for the Woodstock Rhythm and Blues festival- great venue. Always welcomes strangers. Have met French, Italian, Portugese, Spanish, American and even the English are welcome. Long live the Longfellow/London bar.
Loved this bar . The staff were very friendly and polite as were most of the customers . The drink prices were great . The locals were very welcoming and convivial . The Art Deco lighting and seating is really nice and I hope they hold on to it . Great Bar.
i went in belfast last year, i'm from spain and i can say that this bar is very good, in my opinion people was very polite and friendly to me. so thank you very much i hope to stay there soon. a hug from spain.
Great bar
Been domiciled in England for 40 years. Went to Nettlefield Primary School. Havnt been home for 5 years. Will be home this November with my usual English friends to watch Ulster rugby.The first place we will head as usual will be The Longfellows(The London Bar)Once you get talking to the locals you are made very welcome
Typical East Belfast bar, it's ok if you want a quiet drink but no good if you want a more livlier night out.
there are some stupid comments here so i thought i should write one myself- friendly staff!,lovely owner!,cheap drinks- definately not city centre prices,toilets always clean!,glasses always clean!,never had a problem with anything-the only east belfast bar i would drink in :) :)
hi im the longahired biker and although wasnt asked to show my real name...its there for all too see....loved this bar when i visited, i dont go to belfast anymore for other reasons but if i did i would make a bee line for the longfellow...great bar great people that are just down to earth and normal....and most ulster people are....
Some people have got this bar all wrong. Myself and other freinds from DERBY, fly over to belfast all the time, and this is the first pub we head for, over the last few years we,ve made many good freinds in the longfellow, and we allways get a great welcome..TOP BAR, TOP PEOPLE..
The best wee bar in Belfast. Absolutely superb in every way.
Not a bad bar but can be a bit quiet through the week. You can't complain about the drink prices but if you want atmosphere then this is not the place for you. Sometimes it feels like you've walked into the lounge in an old folks home.
Me and a friend came to the bar for the Woodstock Blues festival, The staff were great, The people (Mostly local) were the salt of the earth, they made us feel like part of the family and we had the best time. the bar is great and i am looking forward to visiting again. keep up the good work.
Best bar in belfast ! Best staff , best custommers , BEST PRICES !!!!
love the bar ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
if you beleive the bollocks wrote here saying that the longfellow is a bad bar please read the reveiws go round the other bars in the area then tell me the longfellow is run down and dreary because i can assure you theres been some mistake the longfellow is one of the only bars in the area that scored a 4 star rating in the scores on the doors pub challenge (one star short of excellent but VERY GOOD isnt to bad im sure you will agree) there are places serving food in the local area that only got 3 stars should tell you somthing about the cleanliness of the place as for unfriendly you must have been somewhere else the staff are friendly and the customers are some of the nicest people ive met. the drink is the cheapest in the area where else can you buy a pint for �£2.30 and �£2.25 pensioners also get discount on there drink at �£2.15 a pint town prices my arse show me somewhere in town that does a pint cheaper ill start drinking there instead of paying �£3.30 a pint in all the bars i drink in around town. the reveiws left saying the bar is run down dreary and a bad bar must be wrote by bitter assholes with nothing better to do sort your life out !!ive drunk there nigh on 15 years and have never had a problem with this place and as for some of the names left here instead of making up false names use your proper one i say these names are false because ive drunk there 15 years and ive never once met anyone in the bar with the name of the people leaving the bullshit remarks
its not a bad bar but it isnt what it used to be it used to always be full of live but these days not so much, they had to do away with the disco which they had upstairs every saturday night because they werent getting the custom anymore, you still get a good laugh but its just not the same as it once was.
as below, i meant Bill the builder (we partnered at pool cos we won lol) and Big Barry who had the haulage firm
Long haired rocker
Last time i drank in here was about 15 years ago when i was over from the mainland......its a good local boozer without any frills, full of blokes and the odd lady or 3 who just want to have a laugh, get drunk and put the world to right, if your out on the pull then dont go in and dont slag it off for not being good for that, the people i met were freindly and not once....and it wasnt for trying, did i have to buy a round.,.......you god damn generous ulster folk!!.
I enjoyed the disco they had upstairs, by that time i was tanked on vodka but it always remains a fond memory as a good old fashioned no nonsence boozer...thanks to Big Bill the haulage firm owner, Micheal the milkman(he was a milky at the time)and some bloke that i played pool with (he was a postie at the time from being on the dole for years.
and all the related freinds who i sat at the table with....proper day/night out
Nice friendly pro Glentoran pub, always drink there when i am over from England
I'd rather sit on a park bench drinking cheap cider on a wet and windy night than drink in this place.
terrible bar you would be better sitting in watching coronation street n drinking your warm beers from the back of the cupboard! honestly the worst bar ive been to!
not a chance of pulling any girls cause the place is jus local alcoholics!
AVOID!
Ref: The Review Below. Obviously if you call in a bar in East Belfast on 1st July or The Twelth July it is going to be very lively with a party atmosphere, it's the same as going in a particular bar on New Years Eve and then saying what a great place that is, try drinking in the Longfellows Bar on an ordinary night and you will see how boring and depressing it is, it is also one of the most expensive bars in the local area charging City Centre prices for a small backstreet local bar, they don't even have a good range of drinks.
having visited belfast to watch the 1st of july parade i was invited by friends to the longfellow and was very glad we did the craic was great and the place was jumping with constant flow of people both inside and out we had a great night im now planning on coming back again over the 11th and 12th and will be making a point of coming to this bar for a wee night out the disco was good with a mix of all sorts being played which suited me because it wasnt all bump bump music all night !! loved it just a quick thank you to all the staff for there hospitality !! all the best with regards big john (THE BIG MAN FROM MANCHESTER)
A GREAT BAR!!!!!!!!!GOOD STAFF.THE OWER IS A GENTLEMAN.THE BAR NEEDS UPDATE A BIT ...IT IS WHAT IT IS A LOCAL BAR......
The good reviews on this page are absolute nonsense, I think the owner of the Longfellows may have been at his keyboard, all anyone has to do is go into this bar and they will see what a run-down dreary place it is, it's horrible depressing and dull, the lack of customers speaks volumes. If you are not from the local area you will be treated very dryly and looked at with suspicion by the bar staff and customers.
This is a great wee boozer, the crowd, the craic, the atmosphere and the staff are all brilliant. A well ran pub providing a great service for the local community. You'd go far to find a better bar than this. Now can I have a free cider Andrew? xoxo
all these other reviewers must be crazy, this is the best bar in the area..hands down. friendly staff
the reveiws submitted below must be from people who have been barred from the longfellow
the longfellow is one of the busiest and cheapest bars in the area the craic is great especially when glentoran win theres always new faces in the place
the bar staff are all mad you always get a laugh the glasses are regularly cleaned and polished (ive sat and watched them do it over a beer ) the customers are a mix of all ages and every one interacts well its a bar if you walked in as a stranger youd be in a company with in an hour having a laugh. if you beleive the bad reports on here you need your head looked at cause youll be missing out on one of belfasts few remaining community spirited bars FACT
I drank in this bar for years but not any more, it's depressing and boring, no music no fun no banter, this bar died a death about 5 years ago, it's gone to the dogs big style.
I would not let my dog drink out of the glasses in this bar.
A small backstreet pub, unclean and unfriendly.
This bar is dirty and badly run, the beer is over-priced and served in dirty glasses, the bar staff are inexperienced and unfriendly.
I would recommend that tourists avoid this bar,
THIS IS NOT A FRIENDLY BAR, STRANGERS AND OUTSIDERS DO NOT FIND A WELCOME IN HERE, THE OTHER DRINKERS LOOK AT YOU SUSPICIOUSLY IF THEY DON'T KNOW YOU. BARS LIKE THIS GIVE BELFAST A BAD NAME.
