Dublin Road - Facts & Tips
The Dublin Road runs off the top of Bedford Street and marks the beginning of the famous Golden Mile,the main thoroughfare when leaving Belfast city centre toward Shaftesbury Square, Queen’s University, and Botanic Gardens.
Today, the area is home to a mix of bars and nightlife and remains a popular spot for a night out thanks to its central location, nearby hotels, and just a five-minute walk from Belfast City Hall, right in the heart of the main shopping district.
Did you know?
Historically, Dublin Road is part of the old Linen Quarter, once known worldwide by its nickname “Linenopolis.” Today it’s better known locally for its live Irish music and proper pints of the black stuff.
While many of the original linen warehouses have been replaced by modern buildings, you can still spot plenty of surviving architecture from Belfast’s booming industrial era if you know where to look.
