Pub Review: Crown Liquor Saloon, Belfast

The Crown Liqour Saloon is an iconic bar located in Belfast. The bar is one of the best examples that can be found in the United Kingdom of a Victorian gin palace and is arguably the most famous bar in Northern Ireland.

The pub features a lavish design across both its interiors and exterior that is palatial in every sense. Every inch of the venue is covered in elaborate carvings, etched glass and decorative tiles. The saying ‘they don’t make them like they used to’ has never been truer after visiting a place like the Crown Liquor Saloon.

One of the Crown’s many famous features are the ten elaboratively, carved mahogany booths. Also known as snugs, the booths are a throwback to the Victorian period and were a way of providing visitors with extra privacy.
