The bar will be open for the duration of the Fleadh
Work is well underway on a new bar which is set to open in the heart of Belfast City Centre.
The bar on Donegall Street will be open for the duration of the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann at the beginning of August. The new venue will be aptly named The Donegal Belfast.
The bar will have live music all day and feature three fully stocked bars throughout.
One of the main features will be the “huge” beer garden, which will rival many others across the city. There will also be a food truck to keep the punters well fed.
According to a TikTok page for the bar, “whether you’re here for the music, the pints or the craic, The Donegal is the place to be this Fleadh.”
They added, “whether you’re here for the trad sessions or just soaking up the festival vibes, we’ve got you covered.”
In addition to other entertainment, such as live music, they plan to have Irish dancers at the venue throughout the Fleadh.
We got a look at the progress so far and have all the details in the TikTok below:
A seven-day annual outdoor entertainments licence was granted for “The Donegal” at 11-17 Donegall Street, a prominent, long-term vacant former warehouse building in Belfast city centre. The site was previously associated with Eason and Son, the historic book and stationery retailer, and is currently being developed to include outdoor entertainment spaces.
The venue will continue as an entertainment space after the Fleadh. The day and hours that outdoor musical entertainment is proposed to be provided are Monday to Saturday 12noon to 11pm and Sunday 12.30 pm to 10:30pm.
