Hi there! going to Belfast for the first time in the middle of september to spend a weekend looking forward to it.
I haven't found any hostels yet around the city maybe you guys can give me a hand + i'd like to visit few bars/clubs possibly where the locals go as i'd love to meet and have a chat with the people who live in it.
VIVA IRELAND!

Ciao Gas

For hostels, have a look here:

The Ark, The Linen House and the Belfast International Youth Hostel are all hostels - the others are guesthouses and small hotels. There is also a place called Arnies - http://www.arniesbackpackers.co.uk/ - which is in a good location. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the location of the Linen House. The BIYH is the closest to the city centre.

There are plenty of bars everywhere in the city - trust me, you won't go thirsty! Go to the Botanic Inn (near the university) for a student atmosphere. Head to Shaftsbury Square for a more mixed crowd and to the city centre for the more posh crowd. The locals hang out everywhere - except perhaps The Crown, which is one of the most expensive pints in town. (But you are benefitting a charity :o).

Contact VT member Suzanne_M for VT meetings - she loves to organise them!

Enjoy your visit and if you have any other questions, let me know!

The more "trendy bars" to visit are The Apartment in Donegall Square West. Bar Red or 10 Square as it's also known, in Donegall Square South.

As for Clubs, there is Milk in Tomb Street and La Lea in Brunswick Street.

Have a good time!
