The Beehive Bar on the Falls Road is one of West Belfast’s oldest and best‑known pubs, dating back to 1888. After a major £700,000 refurbishment in early 2024, it now features a modernised interior with frescos, wood carvings, and a stained‑glass ceiling while still keeping its traditional character. It has expanded across two additional floors, adding new entertainment spaces including the monthly comedy night “Live at The Hive.”
