The Crown Liquor Saloon is one of the most beautiful and famous pubs in the world, a lavishly decorated Victorian gin palace opposite the Europa Hotel, now owned by the National Trust. Its ornate interior of carved wood, stained glass, mosaics and cosy snugs is a masterpiece of period craftsmanship, and it remains a working pub serving pints of stout and hearty fare. Combining architectural splendour with genuine atmosphere and history, it is an essential Belfast experience and a wonderful place for a drink.
