Quiet pub, didn't eat but drank. Many unusual and different beers on tap, which makes this pub different from the other pubs in Belfast.

Good selection of beers on draught and good selection of canned beers in side

Without question the best Guinness we tried on our Guinness tour of Belfast. Very nice. 10/10.

Great place. Visited on Friday 23 Frb 2024 for a bite to eat. The chief from the pop-up restaurant came out to each customer and explained where products came from. Excellent food and great atmosphere. We'll be back.

A good wee pub, a nice atmosphere & good service. The usual ridiculous price for a pint but that's how the world is now!

A bar that has seen better days. It looks tired and need of a bit of TLC. A card only bar which is a trend in town but a bit of a turn off. The staff were great polite and attentive.
Not what it used to be with new management No food anymore, less music. Pints expensive. Not the same atmosphere. Big lights always on. Staff still good.Dietary restrictions: Restricted as no longer serves food!
June Cunningham
Really liked it. It was a typical bar - nothing pretentious about it and it had a gr8 atmosphere. Really enjoyed it & and I would go again. Prices were a lot cheaper than in city centre

We stepped into this bar on our little pub crawl. After just being in the File of York with its mad decor, brightness and loud atmosphere, the John Hewitt initially seemed a bit tame and simple.However, we were too quick to judge and this was by far one of our favourites on the tour.The staff are really nice and friendly, pouring a splendid Guinness. The quieter atmosphere is in keeping with the more local experience of this bar. There were at least three chaps all chilling by themselves here: reading, thinking, watching the live music.The chap playing for the evening was really great with a deep melodic voice.The only place we stayed for two drinks!

Great bar with an Irish trad music group playing lively music on the night we were there.
A most interesting pub. Great music.
