Menu
After dark, King West has a drink for every mood. Some nights call for a carefully made cocktail, others for a pint and the game, and the neighbourhood handles both without anyone having to take a cab home.
Cocktail lovers can start at BarChef, famous for its theatrical drinks, or slip into Bar 404 and Chamberlain’s Pony Bar for something more intimate. Pub fans will find The Friar and Firkin, Belfast Love Public House and the long-running Wheat Sheaf Tavern, one of the oldest bars in the city. For live jazz with dinner there is N’Awlins Jazz Bar & Dining, and Cherry’s High Dive keeps things gloriously casual with pizza and cheap thrills.
Tap a style below to show only cocktail bars, pubs or live music, and use map view to plot a route between stops. Profiles explain the vibe, the drinks and the best time to go, so you can match the bar to the occasion.
