One of Belfast’s most beloved hospitality venues 2Taps Wine Bar is celebrating 20 years of service, community spirit, and family-led entrepreneurship.

Established in 2005, 2Taps is owned and operated by brother-and-sister duo Jarron and Victoria O’Neill Watson, and has become a cornerstone of the bustling Belfast restaurant scene, welcoming over 3 million customers and creating more than 250 jobs over the past two decades.

Located in the heart of Cathedral Quarter and still operating from its original building in Cotton Court, 2Taps has remained committed to its roots while growing from a small family venture to a thriving and innovative business, known for its relaxed atmosphere, dog-friendly policy, and family-inclusive dining – with kids eating free every Sunday.

Co-owner Victoria said: “We’ve always seen 2Taps as more than just a wine bar – it’s a place where people gather, connect and celebrate life in the city.

“2Taps began with my mum living her dream of creating the best tapas this side of España 20 years ago. So to be part of Belfast’s evolving food and drink scene for 20 years, and still serving many of the same loyal customers, is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
