Common Market
Common Market is a street food hall and bar in a converted two-storey warehouse on Dunbar Street, in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter. Several independent food traders share the space with three bars, so a group can each order something different and eat together.

What it is
Common Market opened in July 2021 in a former produce wholesaler's warehouse at 16-20 Dunbar Street. Opening traders included Hey Chick, Oui Poutine, Ball & Roll, Al Pastor Mexican Street Food and Baps By Freight; traders change over time, so check the current line-up. Three bars serve beer, wine, spirits and cocktails. The converted warehouse covers about 880 square metres over two floors.
Who it suits
It works best for groups with different tastes, or for a relaxed evening when you do not want to book a table. Every trader caters for vegetarians and vegans and there are gluten-free choices, which makes it an easy pick for mixed dietary needs. Dogs are welcome too. Ordering from several counters and sharing at one table is very much the idea.
Around the Cathedral Quarter
Dunbar Street is a few minutes from the bars of Hill Street and Waring Street, so Common Market fits neatly into a night out in the area. The Harp Bar and The Dark Horse are close by for a drink afterwards, and the Duke of York in its alleyway is a short walk away. Established Coffee is next door for a daytime start.
