About The Spaniard
The Spaniard is a grassroots music venue in Cathedral Quarter, Belfast with a standing capacity of approximately 80. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
The Spaniard books Mixed acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Belfast venue directory.
The Spaniard is a small, characterful bar at 3 Skipper Street in the heart of Belfast's Cathedral Quarter (BT1 2DZ), the city's nightlife and culture district. Music is central to its identity: DJs and live bands play Friday and Saturday nights, with additional live music midweek, particularly on Tuesdays. The room is intimate (roughly 80 capacity) and famous beyond its size for an extensive rum collection — over 50 different rums — alongside a strong beer and cocktail list. It recently secured a 3am entertainment licence for every night of the week, underlining its standing as a late-night live-music and DJ spot rather than a quiet local.
