The legal drinking age in Northern Ireland is 18. People at and above the age of 16 will be served beer and wine with meals as long as there is a consenting adult present. In general, restauranteurs are generally strict about this rule, while the operators of small local pubs and bars tend to be more relaxed, and it isn't uncommon to spy clearly underage youth having a few drinks.

Depending on their license, most bars stop serving alcohol at either 11PM or 1AM.
