This small pub might put people off with its worn paintwork
and metallic green cage outside the front door, but this is something that is
of a local landmark that the locals have grew fond of as it marks Belfast’s
troubled times. Inside, the atmosphere is quite the opposite as a group of ukulele
players set up for the night’s entertainment; consisting of players both old
and young with equal tunes to match. While their songs didn’t get the whole pub
singing as the bar was quite small; the whole novelty of the thing did compel us
to soak in the atmosphere with a pint of Farrington’s; the only ale on offer
for our visit. It’s definitely a pub worth seeking out for its entertainment
with its own dedicated music lounge. I’m also glad that the pub’s proposed
demolition has now been postponed following a cancelled redevelopment of the
local area. Long live the Sunflower!
