INFO

The Ulster Sports Club, located at 98 High St, Belfast BT1 2BE, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, is a renowned nightclub and music venue that has played a significant role in the cultural and nightlife landscape of Belfast. Originally established as a members' social club, The Ulster Sports Club has maintained much of its vintage charm while evolving to meet the demands of contemporary nightlife and live music scenes. Its modest façade in the heart of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter belies a vibrant interior, where retro décor, neon lighting, and a multi-room layout give the club a unique character that appeals to a diverse crowd.
Over the decades, the venue has garnered a reputation as one of Belfast’s most beloved late-night destinations, treasured for its unpretentious atmosphere, eclectic events calendar, and support for grassroots music. The venue’s history is intertwined with Belfast’s social history; it was founded during a time when private member clubs provided safe spaces for sports fans, working men, and locals alike to unwind. In recent years, new management has carefully modernized the club, expanding from its sports roots into a celebrated music and arts hub without losing its vintage character.
The main bar area retains historic sporting memorabilia and original fixtures, while new extensions have added dedicated spaces for gigs and club nights, enabling an energetic and inclusive blend of social scenes. The club also weathered the challenges posed by changing licensing laws and economic pressures, re-emerging in the late 2010s as a go-to venue for live shows, notable DJ sets, and late-night revelry. The careful fusion of past and present means The Ulster Sports Club remains both an emblem of Belfast’s tradition and a beacon for its creative evolution.
Notable artists who have performed at The Ulster Sports Club include Orbital, Bicep, Kessler, Phil Kieran, Jordan Nocturne, Timmy Stewart, Mount Palomar, Sally C, Arvo Party, and David Holmes, along with a range of up-and-coming local bands and DJs who continue to shape Belfast’s dynamic music scene.
