The John Hewitt - Carta

Used to enjoy this pub, experience was ok. Disappointed to wee that the hewitt appears to have went cashless but there was no signage. Myself and friends wont be back due to this

We knew about the beer selection from Boundary Brewing, and that was our reason to go. Great beer selection, plus some great guest beers too. 100% recommended if you are a beer fan.

When we visited, the restaurant was fairly quiet with only around 10 customers. However, the atmosphere was pleasant and the bartenders were very friendly. The beer selection was excellent. Ver carta

This bar no longer does food and currently is run by Boundary Brewery so really needs to delete this page and start again. It is now a craft beer establishment. They still serve Guinness but no other regular draught larger or beer.

Pub that's been here forever Nice history and good music. Good traditional Belfast pub look. I'm not much for micro brew ale. Miss a pint of Smithwicks. Unfortunately pub seems to have gone the way of others and doesn't seem to take cash, only cards or phones.

Stopped for a drink as it was near to our restaurant reservation. A very traditional Belfast pub which serves a fantastic pint probably nicest I drank in Belfast. If you are looking for a no fuss traditional pub this certainly should be on your list when visiting the Cathedral Quarter. Ver carta

The John Hewitt claims to be dog-friendly, but in reality, you can only sit outside in the cold with your pet. The restaurant was practically empty, with only 8 people in the bar, including two couples. I do not plan on returning. For a better experience, I recommend going to the Sunflower instead.

I have visited this restaurant before during my trips to Belfast and always had a pleasant experience. However, I was disappointed during my recent visit because they only accept payment methods that leave a digital trail. I prefer not to have my banking transactions tracked, as it can have repercussions on my financial decisions in the future. I hope they reconsider their cashless policy so that I can visit again in the future.

The John Hewitt recently changed hands, and is now being run by the Boundary craft brewery. That means the beer which was already decent has gone up a further notch. I 'd like them to have some cask, but the keg they have is excellent (prices are fairly standard for the style of ale). Just as importantly, and despite a lick of paint, its retained its charm and clientele so far: there are some very busy bars in this so called 'cathedral quarter ', but the John Hewitt seems to always have a just a bustling and welcoming rather than manic atmosphere. Often has decent (free) music in the evenings and though I 've never tried it there has been food in the past. Do yourself a favour and get a seco... Ver carta
