Three pubs in Northern Ireland have been named among the island's best.
The pubs - two in Belfast and one in Fermanagh - were named in Lonely Planet’s Experience Ireland guide for its top 20 “in Ireland for pints, music and the time of your life”.
The Sunflower Public House in Belfast made the list with the popular spot, on the corner of Kent and Union Street described as “a cultural hub with plenty of history".
The security cage over the entrance is noted as a part of its social history, while the cheeky "No topless bathing, Ulster has suffered enough" sign also caught the attention of the writer.
In Enniskillen, the Blakes of the Hollow is said to have the perfect Irish coffee, while a photo with the Game of Thrones carved door is one of the highlights.
The final Northern Irish pub to make the list is in Belfast’s popular Cathedral Quarter.
The Duke of York is described as the “perfect spot for a cold beer” in the sun when visiting the capital.
Visitors are recommended to take their pints out onto cobbled lane outside.
