Sam’s Bar

SAMs is a great wee bar. Really like this place. Friendly, clean and a nice pint too. Only thing stopping it being a 5 star is the restaurant part next door. Fairly average and stinks of chips!!! The bar however is a great place!!!

Sam’s bar is part of the Templeton hotel in Templepatrick. This bar area is used mostly by locals during the week/​end for a drink near home without having to go all the way in to Belfast. It’s a lovely wee bar that feels dead cosy. There’s usually live music on a Saturday night. There’s also a great smoking area outside. They sell drinks at the average prices, the staffs aren’t the best waiters but you can’t have it all! They do a great New Year’s Party and the venue is also available to rent out for birthdays. It has a pretty good sound system so the music doesn’t sound horribly distorted. It’s a handy place for locals who don’t want prices or pretension of Hilton. There are very few bars around here so it’s handy having one which is so good. It’s set in lovely surroundings and you should definitely call in if you’re passing or around the area looking for a quiet drink.

Nice wee bar at the front of the Templeton. Cosy wee atmosphere with fire lit in winter and has some good live local bands and DJ’s playin at weekends.
Nice wee smokin area there 2 with tvs and seats n things
