The Dirty Onion is Belfast's oldest building. Dating back to 1780, the building was used as a bonded liquor warehouse from 1921. It was known then as 'STACK N' - a nod to its location on the north side of Waring Street - and still bears a giant red-painted 'N' on its brick facade.

The distinctive external timber structure is another original feature which, after careful restoration, frames the pub's beer garden at the front of the complex, with a new contemporary courtyard extending to Hill Street.

Inside, low ceilings supported by exposed timber beams and original brick walls throughout are a nod to the past. In addition, the building's heritage is further highlighted by a sensitive partnership with Jameson Irish Whiskey - a tribute to the tens of thousands of Jameson barrels and cases that passed through the building, which was operated by Edward Dillon Bonders (now a subsidiary of Irish Distillers and Dillon Bass) until 1991.
Live Music


The Dirty Onion is a modern take on a traditional Irish pub. The novel partnership with multi-award-winning cultural centre An Droichead ensures a varied music programme seven nights a week. From open workshops in singing and various traditional instruments to sessions with traditional musicians of the highest quality, there is something for participants and spectators every night at The Dirty Onion.(Source:visitbelfast.com/partners/dirty-onion-yardbird/)

The huge sculpture is based on a character from the story
"The Childhood Records of Fionn".
The story tells of a fish that eats some hazelnuts that had fallen into the Well of Wisdom. After devouring the nuts, the salmon gained all the knowledge in the world. According to the story, the first person to eat the fish would then inherit all of its knowledge.
This sculpture of the legendary salmon was built in 1999 to celebrate the return of the fish to the River Lagan. Each of his tiles is decorated with text or images that relate in some way to an aspect of Belfast's history. According to local folklore, kissing the fish invokes wisdom.

The Titanic Belfast building is an impressive addition to Belfast's docks. Its facade is clad in 3,000 silver aluminium sheets, intricately folded into asymmetrical geometries to recreate the effect of reflections in water.

The huge structure houses nine galleries, a conference centre, accommodation and restaurants. You can also go on a Titanic Experience to learn more about its tragic fate.
