The Belfast Tavern, also known as The Peg Tavern, is a neighbourhood pub at 899 Main North Road in Belfast, at Christchurch's northern edge, with a 4.2 Google rating and a mid-range price bracket. It opens seven days from late morning, keeping its latest hours on Fridays until 11pm and closing earliest, at 7pm, on Mondays.
A suburban tavern lives or dies by its regulars, so the sign of a good one is a room where people arrive alone and stay. Kitchen hours are the classic trap: many taverns stop serving food well before last drinks, so it pays to check before turning up hungry. The shape of the week matters too, with Friday nights drawing the crowd and Sunday afternoons suiting a quieter pint, and long-standing locals usually know which is which.
For anyone out Belfast way, that makes it a handy local on Main North Road, without the trip into town.
