Not actually my home town!!

by PBY - last update: Mar 17, 2005

Time to come clean!

OK, time to admit I don't actually live in Belfast any longer.

Although I was born in Belfast, grew up in Belfast and work in Belfast daily, I don't actually live in the city now.

I actually live about 10 miles from the city in the northern part of County Down (AKA North Down).

It is close to the city, close to the coast, but best of all, close to my favourite pubs. The purpose of this page at the moment is merely to direct any interested parties towards those establishments.

I have frequent visitors to these shores from many parts of the world. Essentially, when I'm not travelling visiting others, some of them visit me. Since I work in the city, that is where they usually stay and wher I usually entertain them. However, recently I had a couple of foreign visitors staying overnight in Belfast. This pair were very wealthy and very well travelled so knowing it could be tough to impress them with flashy restaurants I decided to take them out of the city to one of my "local" pub/restaurants (Pier 36 - see restaurant tip for Donaghadee).

They were so impressed with the ambiance and the great sea food that I now take all visitors out of the city for entertainment.

For links to some quaint pubs with great food outside of Belfast follow the links to Donaghadee, Bangor and Killinchy.
