This is one of Belfast’s premier inns and it’s not hard to
see why. It’s furnished with its original Victorian heritage of a liquor saloon
bar and is famed for its extravagance. The only trouble is that it’s right on
the fringe of the bus station and everyone stops here on their travels in and
out of the city; not to mention those that come visiting for its historical value.
Unfortunately, we were denied the luxury of a private booth which were so lavishly
furnished with their own stained glass windows and wood panelling. Instead we
found a space to prop ourselves up at the bar but the staff were very keen to chat
to us when they weren’t busy, which was seldom. However, on our last day we
were lucky enough to have a meal in the upstairs dining room which; while it wasn’t
as tastefully furnished as the main bar, was still very comfortable.
