The Garrick Bar is a pub in Belfast, Northern Ireland, situated at 29 Chichester Street in the city centre. It was established in 1870 and is one of the oldest pubs in Belfast. It serves a range of locally sourced pub food. The Front Bar in the Garrick hosts traditional music sessions, while the Back Bar hosts the Belfast Music Club and resident and guest DJs.[1]
It is a traditional pub with a Victorian decor, dark wood ceilings and panelling, booths with leather benches, tiled floors, and brass oil lamps.[2] The traditional top floor room features a display of barometers and Venetian mirrors.[3] In 2006, the bar was sold for £1.7 million to Bangor entrepreneur Bill Wolsley’s Beannchor Group.[4][5] It was then closed for six weeks for refurbishment, taking out all the gambling machines, TV's, and jukeboxes to create a classic pub with music rooms.[6]
