Farringdon IPA at the Sunflower, Belfast

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!
