With over 40 cafes, bars and restaurants in the District you will not be stuck for choice
The historic Linen Quarter is rapidly becoming one of the most vibrant, must visit areas of the city. With 40 cafés, bars and restaurants, a dozen hotels, and three major music venues, we like to think we are home to the best of Belfast hospitality.
Located behind Belfast City Hall, the Linen Quarter was once the headquarters of Ireland’s global linen industry. Tourists can still admire the beautiful red brick warehouses, now home to international businesses or award-winning restaurants.
Key attractions include the Crown Bar, Grand Opera House, Ulster Hall, and St Malachi’s Church. Take a walk to enjoy the ambiance and enjoy some top- quality coffee and cuisine.
