If you're on the hunt for a charming, traditional bar look no further than the Duke of York. Tucked away in Belfast's historic Cathedral Quarter, The Duke of York is a piece of living history. So grab your drink of choice (I'll get to the best ones in a second) and let's explore what makes this place so special.

But we can't forget the classics- a pint of Guinness, served just the way it should be is always a good choice. Or perhaps an Irish coffee to warm you on a chilly Belfast night. The next time you are on the look for a comfortable, cosy yet picturesque, historical bar experience be sure to check out The Duke of York.
