Lonely Planet review

Kelly's is Belfast's oldest pub (1720) - as opposed to tavern; see White's Tavern - and was a meeting place for Henry Joy McCracken and the United Irishmen when they were planning the 1798 Rising. The story goes that McCracken hid behind the bar when British soldiers came for him. It remains resolutely old-fashioned, with vaulted ceiling and elbow-worn bar, is crammed with bric-a-brac and pulls in broad cross-section of Belfast society.
