The Ulster Sports Club is a former social club, reintroduced in 2019 as an underground live music venue. The retro décor was kept intact and it has quickly become something of an institution in the Belfast bar scene with an emphasis on craft beer, live gigs and electronic music.
Out of Office is a micro-brewery and taproom located on the top floor of The Ulster Sports Club. Not only do we produce some of the tastiest brews around, we also host educational tastings where you can learn just what goes into producing an Out of Office beer.
