This is a "don't miss" stop in Belfast, and be sure you have an appetite for food and drink when you visit! This world-famous nineteenth century pub is best known for its splendid Victorian exterior architecture and the interior is equally stunning. I found it to be comfortable, fascinating, delightful and terrific fun. The food was awesome, the service equalled it, and drinks were plentiful. It is a feasting hall for the sights as well as for the food. It does get crowded (and therefore a bit noisy), and reservations are welcome. Part of the National Historic Trust, this is a real gem indeed!

This sounds boring, but for our group, it was really interesting and fun. We have a family of knitters, and my mother remembered some of the knitting history. It is only open in the spring, but it is reasonably priced and very educational.
