Belfast
The Merchant Hotel
Cocktail bar
Why we point you here
Belfast's Merchant Hotel earned its place at No.
17 on the World's 50 Best Bars in 2011, and that sort of international recognition speaks for itself. This is a bar worth building a night around, whether you're celebrating or simply settling in for drinks done right in Northern Ireland's capital.
