50 verified Irish pubs across 2 cities on Craic Map.
Northern Ireland's Irish-pub scene is anchored by Belfast — home to several of the finest Victorian pubs on the island of Ireland, including the National Trust-protected Crown Liquor Saloon (1885) and Kelly's Cellars (1720). The region punches well above its size in terms of historic pub architecture, with traditional sessions in cities like Derry and Armagh adding to the heritage.

The highest-reviewed Irish pubs in Northern Ireland on Craic Map.
Craic Map currently lists 50 verified Irish pubs in Northern Ireland, spread across 2 cities. The figure is verified — each pub passes an Irish-identity check before it goes on the map — so the actual count of pubs that call themselves "Irish" in Northern Ireland is higher; we just don't add ones we can't independently verify.
Belfast is the city with the largest cluster of Irish pubs in Northern Ireland on Craic Map. From there, you can filter by feature — live music, traditional sessions, food, outdoor seating, or sports — to find the right pub for the night you're planning.
On Craic Map, the bar is independent of geography — we apply the same Irish-identity check whether the pub is in Dublin or Dubai. That includes evidence of Irish ownership or theming, traditional pub character, named-pub signals (e.g. "O'Connor's", "The Brazen Head"), and at least one verified feature like live music, traditional sessions, or food. Bars that score below the threshold get parked for review rather than published.
Yes — the directory supports filtering by features including live music and traditional Irish music sessions. Browse Irish pubs in Northern Ireland on Craic Map and use the filters at the top to narrow to pubs with music confirmed in their listing.
