Crown Liquor Saloon

Crown Liquor Salon Belfast Belfast as a city has a very long an interesting past. Many interesting events in Irish history have played out in the bars and pub in Belfast. For instance it was in the pubs of Belfast that Wolfe Tone and Henry Joy Mc Cracken planned and organised the United Irishman rebellion of 1798. Belfast a whole host of old and interesting bars dotted in and around the city centre and many of them have done a great job of preserving their links with the past. It's easy to get a real sense of the history of Belfast by stepping into one of its old taverns. By far one of its most impressive is the Crown Liquor Salon which is probably the best ...  Read the complete review

Beautifully restored by the National Trust, the Crown is a living legend, a place to marvel at. Rather like stepping back in time, this is the genuine article that so many bars try to look like. Dark wood, incredible attention to detail in the carvings, gaslamps, stained glass, mosaics and all genuine to boot. A favourite with tourists sipping a half of Guinness as well as locals having a yarn. A must visit, and the Guinness is fine. Food served during the day, booths are like gold dust but you may get lucky. Busy and all the better for it, a nice place for stopping and having a pint. One big thing is that there is no music blaring, such a change, ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I read about the Crown Bar in a travel guide (we're from Canada) and when we got to Belfast it was one of the first places we visited. The bar itself is the most beautiful bar I've ever been in and that's saying something! However, the waitress informed us that because we weren't a group we couldn't use one of the snugs, and since the bar was full there was nowhere to sit.

If you go, go with a group. ...  Read the complete review

Paddywak wrote an opinion of the Crown Bar in Belfast in which he asked himself a somewhat rhetorical (I felt) question regarding any sense of intimadtion in the pub for tourists - which made my opinion ticker reach the top again! I lived in Belfast for a few months a couple of years back and soon discovered that the Crown Bar was the best place to wait for the bus/train home! Handily situated opposite the city's main bus terminal there is no excuse for not popping in for a swift pint or two next time you're passing! I am a single woman who went drinking in the Crown Bar alone in the early evenings mainly after work and sometimes later on in ...  Read the complete review

I had to write this opinion because I just read an opinion on the Crown Bar in Belfast. The previous opinion said nothing about the place except that it's evil to drink full stop! It was written by a religious person. I think that the person concerned shouldn't have written it because it had nothing to do with the subject! Ok, now that I've calmed down & ready to apologise for breaking my own rules about rating & writing opinions, I'll begin. The Crown Bar is one of Belfast's best & most loved bars, there's that many there that they're all loved I suppose! Anyway, there's a web cam in the bar, which you can view if you ...  Read the complete review
