The Back Bar, our private hire bar & restaurant , is a cornerstone of Lavery's. It is steeped in history and cultural significance–established as a bohemian haven, it has long been the favoured retreat of Belfast's vibrant subcultures - the punks, hippies, and stoners. A symbol of counterculture and free expression since its inception.

Central to The Back Bar's charm is its laid-back vibe. The space is deliberately designed to foster a sense of community and shared experience. It's the bar's unwavering commitment to being a sanctuary for the unconventional that truly sets it apart. The Back Bar has always been a place where the norms of society are left at the door, and the spirit of freedom and creativity takes hold. Here, stories of past adventures blend with present experiences, creating an ever-evolving narrative that is as dynamic as its patrons.

Whether you're a lifelong regular or a curious newcomer, The Back Bar at Lavery's welcomes you. It's a place to enjoy a cold beer, engage in deep discussions, or sit back & watch the football.
