McLaughlins Bar manages to look almost as grotty on the inside as it does on the outside. I’ve been here a few times, always on ill advised jaunts around North Belfast drunk with the extended family. It serves its purpose of getting people drunk and that is all its loyal customers appear to want! The drinks are cheaper than other local pubs but its just not a nice place to be. There are always the locals in watching the racing or football, and with a local betting shop close by then maybe it would be a good place to go for that. But that’s not my thing, and I’d rather look for somewhere else to drink.
