It wasrelocated just around the corner from its original site to an oldconverted warehouse to make way for the new Victoria Squaredevelopment.The new place has managed to hold onto the charm and charismathe old place had. It’s still one of the friendliest pubs we know.We adore their Paddy Pizzas – home-made soda bread toppedwith chicken or ham and tomatoes, onions and melting localcheddar cheese.Using only fresh produce from local suppliers, they’re renownedfor making dishes like mammy used to make at home. Indeed, MaCatney from the original bar was a formidable cook. Her recipesfor Irish stew and Belfast ham and cabbage have been handed on,but if you’re in the mood for burgers, pies or chicken goujons, theydo those too.All that, and the Victoria Centre next door!
