The Poet, formerly the Lonely Poet, is a modern bar, grill and live music venue in the east of Belfast. It is located in the King's Square shopping district about four miles from the centre of the city. It is bright and spacious with comfortable sofas. The staff are friendly and a noticeable feature is a school desk with two old typewriters to keep children amused. Although it is a little out of the centre, it is easy enough to get to as the number 19 Metro bus goes right past the bar.
