hi im taking my elderly but fairly active mom to belfast for a day we are staying in the travelodge inbrumwick st,i think fibber mcgee bar is nearby can anyone tell me if its a good place to go for a drink and what kind of music is played as my mom loves a bit of craic? thanks
Fibber Magees will be OK for you as it is just round the corner from your hotel but it can get very crowded on a weekend. You could try The John Hewitt near the cathedral.

yeah, I agree with the John Hewitt recommendation. It's only about a 15min walk form where you're staying.
The John Hewitt is fab, you'll love it- really traditional, cosy and it's got all age groups in it! It's right next to the university of Ulster where I go, there's always security in there if anything goes wrong but it won't- I walk through the place many nights in the dark and I'm always fine :) Hope you enjoy your stay xo
Fibber Magee's is an ok bar as is Robinsons, The Crown and The Beaten Docket which are all beside it. They are not great bars, just ok ones and are most usually full of tourists and workers from nearby civil service buildings.
In my opinion, the bar opposite the Travelodge, Irenes and Nans is much better as is Bar Bacca around the corner from it.
Loads of good bars in Belfast, particularly around the Cathedral quarter where The John Hewitt is such as The Spaniard, The Cloth Ear, The Duke of York, The Pothouse, The Northern Whig.
Oh come on, you're coming to ireland!! Expect lots of rain , sure thats why its so green! More often than not, if you bring an umbrella it WONT rain, so be safe. If you're going up the north coast make sure to bring an all weather rain coat-type-thing as you may get soaked up there! All good fun though.
St Mary's was opened in 1784 and was the first Catholic church in the city. At the time, there were 385 Catholics listed as living in Belfast.
There were no sectarian issues then...Protestants contributed to its construction, and the 1st Belfast Volunteer Company presented a guard of honour to the priest as he entered the church for the first time.
Next door to the church is a grotto and rose garden, created in 1954 and dedicated to the manifestations of Mary at Lourdes, Knock and Fatima.
The church is in Chapel Lane, in the city centre.
This seems to be a converted bank and has a good layout with a small mezanine area above the main bar/restuarant.
The food in here is good and they have a projector screen for large sporting events (saw Czechs beat the Dutch in 04... great night)
Belfast grew up and flourished as a port due to its position at the mouth of Belfast lough.
Due to the Ards peninsula (a 50 km long protective finger like protrusion that curves around the lough) acting as a protective wall, the waters are beautifully clean and are a haven for exotic sea life.
The 'Big Fish' sculpture, of a salmon, stands by the river Lagan in the centre of Belfast, It is made of smaller "Delft type" blue and white ceramic tiles, decorated with texts and images covering the history of Belfast. The ?Bigfish? also contains a time capsule storing information/images/poetry on the City.
The artist was a local man, John Kindness and the piece is some 10m long.
