I prefer the nearby Taigslaughter Arms. Even the Bucket of Fienian Blood is good at a push. They do nice pies but I’m not sure what’s in them.

They do a nice pint of 1690 Shilling in there.

I think the previous recommendations may have been a tad facetious.....

There's a poster on here who lived/lives in Belfast. Hopefully they see this thread and can give you a good place to go.

Just be judicious in choosing somewhere. Speak to the staff and ask what it's usually like for football fans.

True. Some places may be showing both.

Watched a derby a few years back in a pub near the botanics, think it was called The Parlour? Obviously the Liverpool game is going to be a stumbling block in finding availability, but might find a bar that doesn’t have BT or find one that can show both at same time, so it’s really just a case of asking around.
This thread from a previous enquiry doesn’t really offer much either! http://www.hibs.net/showthread.php?335284-Hibs-game-in-Belfast&highlight=Belfast

Hopeful you find somewhere!

You may have to try up by the university area for bigger pubs that may have several TVs. Liverpool being on will be an issue. Maybe get a taxi and ask the driver. You could try and be neutral in your team though!! Going to Celtc minded areas may get you the match, but again they may have the Liverpool match on.

Also , depending on how the bigot game goes it maybe best avoiding partisan areas and stick to the more neutral studenty parts. I would suggest trying to disguise any feelings of utter joy as you never know who is around and what colour they bleed.

Just for future reference -
City centre try - The Hercules, Monico. Not much choice in city centre might get lucky although must big bars in city centre lean more towards English games. The strand bar about a ten minute walk from city centre would be worth a shot too.
Best going to student area and trying - The Fly, The Bot etc.
Best option is to try the west of the city and go to - The Felons Club, Beehive bar, The Rock, Devenish, Biddys Bar, Hunting Lodge. These will all be more likely to show it and are a safer environment for Hibees.

Is that a different Crown to the one in the City Centre opposite the Europa Hotel? That's a cracking boozer with a great story behind how it originated - wipe your feet on the mosaic crown on the floor as you go through the door ha ha.

Celts Bar down The Falls has a Hibernian pennant behind the bar.

Aye, it is. I think you might struggle to find it though. 😉

Still can't believe he played in Lewy's testimonial. Ruined the day for me.

Closed, a long time ago. Unless your referring to The Rock.
