Small bar very cramped to order a drink,staff seem friendly enough.There is not enough seating inside.Don't sell my drinks I like,very disappointing.Some guy playing Amy Winehouse records at the corner of the bar. Music could be better.

A great bar full of character and life. And the selection of whiskies is wonderful.

EXTRA EXTRA. The headline is as follows: The best bar in Belfast. There’s competition for sure but I am assured that given its location and slight lack of awareness of some people to its existence (I know right?), it makes for the perfect spot to pop in and have a pint, on a date, in a small group, or on your lonesome. Before you know it, you’ll be in the throes of great conversation with the wonderful staff, including Gee, Cory and Mel, who are great people and so inviting, as well as other patrons doing just the same. The interior is magnificent and so hard to believe given the style of the neighbouring bars. It’s not exactly what one would expect to walk into when hitting the bright lights of Union Street, but as soon as you walk in, there’s a real sense of just how perfect a fit it truly is. The seating and decoration are quintessential of a real old-man bar but with typewriters and other journalism memorabilia on display on the walls and ceilings. Truly UNIQUE. As a journalism geek, I know I would be in heaven if this was in Paris or Prague so for it to be on my doorstep in Belfast is a real treat.I am a basic lager drinker and the Madri is a reliable one always. There are definitely recommendations on the craftier side and a selection of Kinnegar and such for those with the classiest of taste. Workers’ Club on a Friday is the place to be for cheap ones and good vibes with great music. I’ve been lucky to attend art events here which are held weekly. You’ll talk to friends, talk to strangers (who are really just friends in disguise), and isn’t THAT what it’s all ABOUT.This could really win in the endless battle for best bar in Belfast. Polaroids are up behind the bar, so get one taken and pop yourself up there as a new regular at the Reporter. Need I say more? ? ?

Doggy friendly place. Not sure whether it is part of The Maverick next door but they seem to share the same staff. Friendly bar, open to the pink pound. Great range of canned ales (is £5.80 for a can good value) but can I recommend Fridays 5-8 with £3.50 a pint.
