You want good pizza and an affordable pint and friendly vibes in Belfast? Sunflower is the place to be. Sunflower is so good I dressed up as it for Halloween. Where do I begin? You’ll make friends for life in the expansive back area. You will get to people watch or converse. You will right the world’s wrongs.
According to some awarding bodies, this is the best pub in Belfast and rightly so. The prices are amazing for the location and atmosphere. My go-to tends to be the Grolsch, however the Budvar and Erdinger are great too. Spirit wise, the Red Leg rum never disappoints. There is no Guinness but the Beamish will certainly suffice. I had never really drank Beamish until introduced to it by this unique establishment.
The bar is LGBT-friendly and there are plenty of pups dotted about the place to keep you entertained when you are curing the Sunday fear. I cannot let this review go without mentioning the pizza, which is out of this world and provided by the amazing Boxing Hare. Try the sundown I assure it will brighten things up for you, like the Sunflower does so well.
The staff are great too, and as a side note I admire that the Sunflower provided an award to an artist at this year’s RUA exhibition in Ulster Museum! Pure class 🌻
Really good pizza (get the hot honey dip), beer, live music and seating. They also do great events like a comedy club that was class. Always something on and great atmosphere :)
Can't go wrong with this place, I visit every time I'm in Belfast. Lots of atmosphere in the pub itself and the streets around, a good range of craft beer in the fridge, plus the hidden gem is the patio out back with umbrellas on the tables and a pizza oven dishing out great pizza.
Some of the best music in Belfast is to be heard hear most nights of the week. Covers virtually every genre - folk, trad, swing jazz, etc. Especially satisfying is an Appalachian Old Timey session on a Friday evening. Great music from a bunch of talented old timers! The beer is good as well and moderately priced. Highly recommended.
Lovely iconic find! Fab atmosphere n good to bump into old friends after the god at the telegraph building! Will be back
The perfect inner city pub. Friendly staff at the bar and the kitchen, a good range of beer on tap and in cans (the Kinnegar Brewery heavily features, which is great!), a sprawling outdoor space out past the bar (featuring a wood-fired pizza oven), and regular live music. And if street art is your thing, Sunflower is in the middle of plenty of that too.
Just what I wanted from an Irish pub: great beer, amazing atmosphere and if we hadn’t had pizza for lunch we would have definitely ordered some food.
One of the finest in Belfast. Best vibe always. Friendly, alternative crowd, Well run house with easygoing feel. Brilliant pizzas.
Popular Bar in central Belfast to meet up with friends. As well as drinks The Sunflower also serves very nice homemade pizzas from its large Pizza oven situated in the corner of the Beer Garden There are 3 areas to relax, the downstairs bar, the Beer garden and the upstairs bar area which is also regularly used as a venue for live music events having a raised stage area. The weekly Folk Club is on a Tbursday evening. Staff are always very pleasant and helpful
Chill place, friendly bar staff, great fresh prepped pizza on the patio. Accommodating to allergies and knowledgeable about their drink selection.
Fantastic little gem in the heart of Belfast. Very traditional Irish bar with good beer, good live music and an amazing stone oven for cooking Pizzas fresh. Highly recommended!! At.osphete was buzzing. Staff were super friendly. All round good bar

We love the Sunflower, its our favourite pub in Belfast. It's laid back, has a great selection of booze and we can't forget to mention the pizza! A few years ago we had the pleasure of taking a few wedding portraits outside the bar. We'd love to photograph a full wedding day here sometime in the future.

Place is usually busy but not completely packed.
Prices are pretty good, especially compared to other bars in the area.
Serving times are great, bar staff are great.
Only real downside is the lack of any music outside of the upstairs events.
Great atmosphere, great drinks and the pizzas are to die for!
Next up was the @sunflowerpub to see the famous gated entrance and the no topless bathing sign, but it has much more to offer than some external eye candy.
When you walk through the door you will notice the bar decorated with pump clips, so you know they’re serious about which drinks they service up.
The jewel in its green and white crown though is the large beer garden out the back which must be one of the best Belfast.
If you find yourself in Lineopolis definitely dive in here for a few cold pints.
Great Atmosphere, went here for a Beer and Cheese tasting night ran by Mike's Fancy Cheese.
AMAZING alcohol free milk stout beer - best one I’ve ever had. Also the garden’s oven baked pizzas are fantastic, and the trad music sessions on Sunday.
Absolutely love this pub. We came for the comedy night, had great beers, great pizza and an excellent night out. Lovely atmosphere, so glad we found it.
