The Dirty Onion

The Dirty Onion welcomes you to one of Belfast’s oldest buildings reintroduced as a traditional public house with a modern twist. We offer live traditional music seven nights and two afternoons a week! We are also home to Yardbird free range chicken rotisserie restaurant. This site was originally constructed around the 1750’s as a warehouse and first used as a spirits bonded warehouse in 1921. The bond, known as STACK “N” (The N refers to North, as in the north side of Waring Street, number 42) and was operated by Edward Dillon Bonders until the company moved to larger premises in 1991. Stack “N” was used to store Jameson in barrels and crates, and during this period tens of thousands of bottles of Jameson passed through these doors. We hope you will help us continue this practise through the great tradition of companionable imbibing, ceoil agus craic.
