This is what the Telegraph had to say about one of Belfast's busiest Quarters.
They wrote: "Cobbled and winding Hill Street in the Cathedral Quarter is the buzzing heart of the city’s nightlife, with eight lively bars and restaurants ranging from pub grub to Michelin stars.
"If you want to pick just one pub, the Duke of York is a warren of cosy snugs with a great combination of atmosphere, live music and friendly staff.
"And my favourite restaurant for meeting up with pals is the inexpensive Yardbird, above the Dirty Onion pub, with the house specials of lip-smacking ribs and spit-roasted chicken."
Under recommendations on where to eat and drink, the "cosy" Muddlers Club and The Dark Horse were mentioned, with a shoutout to the world-famous murals that line Commerical Court.
They continued: "For upmarket pub grub, it’s The Cloth Ear, for pizza, try Orto, for Indian, Mumbai 27 and for pan-Asian, The Dumpling Library".
The Telegraph recommend The Friend at Hand for a spot of shopping.
"Ranging from miniatures at £5 to £11,000 for one of only 112 bottles of Midleton Pearl in existence. Just don’t do what one customer did: buy a £4,000 bottle and hand it to his friend – who promptly dropped it," they added.
As for a place to rest your head after exploring they area, they suggest The Merchant Hotel "for a treat".
Or if you prefer to plan your visits on a budget, they recommend the Premier Inn just around the corner.
