The Crown Liquor Saloon in Belfast

Been dying to visit ever since I watched a clip on line and this place did not disappoint! As you walk in through the doors you can literally feel the history all around you. Ornate and beautiful wood panelling around, wooden stools and the chatter of everyone inside, perfect place to stop in and have some drinks and chill. If you are looking for something authentic this is definitely the place for you.

This was the first bar we went to because it was opposite our hotel and he had heard a lot about it. It lived up to its reputation. The decor is side was outstanding. It’s was also the first pint of Guinness I had in Belfast it was very yummy 🤤. I would definitely recommend going in here.

This place is so adorable that it needs to be on your list of places to visit in Belfast. I love the Victorian décor, from the beautiful wood carvings and etched glass to the elaborate bar, textured ceiling, gas lamps, and tile work. Exquisite! I forgot to make reservations for a snug, so we ate upstairs instead. We all had Irish stew and it was delicious. We will be back and next time I will remember to reserve a snug ahead of time.

We are never disappointed at the Crown. The food is delicious, service with a smile and made to feel very welcome as well as prompt table service. We will return soon

Fantastic food in a very interesting place! We recomend the stew and the camembert. We felt really confortable thanks to Jack and Megan :)

We had a lovely lunch, the Irish stew was delightful and the staff were lovely. Particularly Jack and Megan! Would highly recommend as a stop for a drink or meal in the beautiful surroundings.

The crown is a must visit pub when you visit Belfast. The interior decor is fantastic and the little private booths are intriguing. We visited the Crown a few times during our trip, the greeting was warm, the Guinness was spot on and the Irish Stew fantastic

Dinner and drinks twice in a week had a booth we all loved it 4 of us went for this all enjoyed it and would go back again Thank you

After the waitress had told us half of the menu was not available I settled for mussels and fries whilst my partner ordered chicken burger and fries so nothing special or difficult, when my mussels came they were dried up on top like they had been sat under a heatlamp whilst the ones lower down were lukewarm at best, my Partners burger was cooked to the texture of cardboard whilst also served lukewarm, both portions of fries were like they had been cooked several times over. Maybe if they had cooked the food on the radiator that we were almost sat on top of the food would have been as hot as we were. We are in Belfast on a long weekend and have eaten out for every meal, this was beyond bad. It was by far a fading light in a universe of high star rated food. Paid the full bill despite expressing our dissatisfaction and left feeling rather sad.

Rhianna and Olivia treated us as if we were family. Gorgeous old pub, wonderful food and awesome service. Try the Magner's.

When you first enter the Crown, it's a moment when all you can say is.....Wow! The history and stories this bar could tell are as good as you can get. Its reputation is absolutely deserved and an experience that will live long on the memory. Ellen was one of the team we met and is a true ambassador of brilliant customer service and a warm welcome. Many thanks to all the team

The food was great (loved the fish and chips), the atmosphere is also amazing. The staff were fantastic and Andy in particular very helpful. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Ellyn and Rhiannon were fantastic and very attentive. We appreciated being able to sit and enjoy a midday lunch and cocktail in the upstairs dining room. When in Ireland you must have PIE!

We are regulars at The Drum and Monkey in Glasgow and enjoy a nicholsons pub. When visiting belfast it was tremendous to vist the Crown. Lovely bar and great Guinness.

Lovely architecture and quirky seating booths. Plenty of history to this famous pub. Staff not particularly friendly, bordering on rude.

Love this place so much! Lovely staff all round and especially my servers Megan and Ellyn. Great food, great drinks and great people!

The food was amazing, drinks and service by Rhianna and Ellyn were great! 😊 lovely spot can’t wait to come back………………..

Awesome food and great service. Rhiannon and Ellen were fantastic and made our entire experience. Thanks girl, we will be back!

Super place to recharge your batteries on a windy Sunday. Ellen and Rhiannon took great care of us. The next twenty characters are inserted to meet the minimum character count

Very friendly staff. Excellent food. Ellyn and Rhiannon provided excellent service. Highly recommended while in Belfast.

Absolutely perfect! What a pub to visit! Highly recommended and the interior is amazing. The team there were amazing! Well done!

I’ve been wanting to visit this pub for years, it’s hasn’t disappointed! We were greeted by the most attentive staff and the pub is nothing short than amazing. I would highly recommend booking a snug to ensure you get a seat as it’s a very...

The place is worth visiting for its architecture, decoration and history. The food is good and the prices are correct. We were served by Megan and Ciara, very attentive, pleasant and efficient service.

What a beautiful pub, great service and food, big thanks to Laura and Ciara for looking after us so well. Highly recommend the food and the Peroni is above par. Looking forward to my next visit!

Not Good, Oder an Alantic Fish which costs £2.50 than the Fish supper, and they only give you half a fish along with 4 frozen scampi pieces , and the chips are not fresh cut either. Very disappointing, especially when I have been a guest...

Definitely worth a visit for the history and decor. Staff very friendly and accommodating. However the food is very poor. Burger patties poor quality meat, fries average. Vegetarian pie very odd vinegar/BBQ flavour. My suggestion is have a few drinks but leave the food.

Been before but had to return as so quirky and my other half had not been. Booked a snug for £10 which was worth every penny. Lovely wine and food. Went back the following night just for drinks. Highly recommended.

Arrived in Belfast and got dropped off at the bus station. Was told to visit the crown. 4 of us walked in, 2 staff members never even let on, we were standing clearly looking around for a table and not knowing there was tables upstairs...

Had a great lunch and a few pints at the Crown. Our server Rhiannon was great and we will definitely return the next time we are in Belfast.

Amazing food and service in the upstairs dining room. Shout out to Rhiannon who was a fantastic host, very obliging when we wanted to change tables, excellent, friendly service….a credit to the establishment. The food was fresh and very tasty. A warm welcome awaits you...

A lot of histirical archaetecture and pictures to view. A MUST VISIT.

Very disappointing food. I was looking forward to a lentil and roast veg “Pie” I’d seen the pies advertised in the website, they looked delicious, however mine came without the pie bit, it was a dish of watery vegetables bland and forgettable, with dreadful frozen mixed veg on the side. We complained to our waiter who told us that this complaint was flagged up often. (?) My only regret it that I didn’t send it straight back. In a venue this iconic the food is sadly lacking. My partner was disappointed with his also, with below par muscles and nasty frozen chips! Cmon crown! You really need to sort this out.

We waited 20 mins for drinks to be served,food took 40 mins.Menu stated glazed carrots and greens,we were served frozen carrot batons,green beans and peas.Mash was bland and stiff,like reheated.My son had the grilled chicken breast,it was so dry I was worried he would choke.The best part was the Guinness,overall disappointing as we had been recommended to come to The Crown by a bus tour guide,needs improvement before we would return.

Fish cales were deleicious. The wild boar pie could have had more meat - lots of pastry but not enough inside. Cheesecake with raspberries - delicious. cCoffee delcicous

Stopped in for a drink Lovely old place

Fantastic pub - like stepping back in time. Best Guinness I had all weekend. Served with friendly service. The pub itself is unique - amazing stain glass and wood sculptures. Don’t miss it even if you don’t drink.

Little peice of history here on trip to Belfast

Gorgeous traditional old heritage pub with ornate decor and unique wooden panelled booths with doors! Always busy & lively with a mix of super-friendly locals & visitors. Expect to be included in conversation, and in drinks rounds! Staff are super-organised and quick, & Guinness 0.0 available for non-drinkers too 👍

very interesting pub in Belfast fabulous building and architecture belonging to the national trust

Great bar, worth a visit .staff are lovely and friendly.

The service was great. And the food was good although my mussels were slightly overcooked for my taste. The room was freezing

It’s a beautiful interior and well worth a visit. It’d be rude not to have a couple of drinks as well! The food was really good classic pub stuff 👍🏼

An iconic 19th century public house, beautifully fitted out. The National Trust now own the building, and are currently restoring the outside facade.

Can't book reservations due to renovations but we were able to get tables! Great atmosphere!

Very nice old pub, building and interior very smart vintage style, always busy.

Great service and loved the atmosphere here

It's such a special place to visit a MUST when you visit Belfast. You need look no further for a great Guinness and a fine Bushmills Black. Great atmosphere.

Such a beautiful place! Really worth the visit in Belfast I really recommend to try the fish and chips 👌🏼 Great selection of draughts. Had a Chieftain IPA and Belfast Black Stout, so nice!!!

Managed to get a booth which was great.met so many friendly people

We have tried to get in this amazing pub a few times but never been successful. We even tried to book but again no availability until after we were home and we tried to make a booking we were told it was on a basis of first come first served so gave up trying

Had a wonderful experience at the Crown bar. Atmosphere was wonderful, lovely decor and great service. Cannot recommend enough!

Extrem überfüllt, aber natürlich historisch einen Besuch wert

Erin looked after me and was very efficient

One of the best bars in my home town . Interesting place loads of history Good service good people . Highly recommended .

everything I'm looking for in a pub. Marty pulls a hell of a pint.

Great Guinness especially from the first pump.great pub

Interesting and historic place. Great woodwork and ceiling. Cold booth on the day we were in. Some booths needed last users items cleared.

Cracking boozer for a few beers before the rugby- best Guinness in Belfast

Amazing bar with amazing staff!

Unparalleled atmosphere. Get in early and grab a snug. That's a small enclosed private space.

Great historical pub with great atmosphere, great staff, always well looked after

Called with 2 visitors for a pre-match drink.. Absolutely heaving, but service was efficient, friendly & professional.... Great Guinness...superb vibe....Great atmosphere.

Excellent location, lovely bar, staff very attentive, especially Mo

Amazing pub loaded with so many fascinating details, each with their own stories behind them. A must visit if in the area. Be sure to do your research on the pub to truly appreciate it. Great ale too

Warm, welcoming staff and very tasty food in beautiful surroundings. Would recommend and will be back again soon😁

Beautiful place and must visit one while in Belfast. It was so good that I have been there twice during one day stay in the city. Plenty of alcohol to chose from. Friendly staff. Amazing interior. Nothing else is needed

Had a few drinks before going to the opera house. The atmosphere was very chilled

This pub is step back in time.but staff behind bar need trained in customer service.

Brilliant Pub!!! Andy the manager was amazing, excellent service!!!

I had a lovely lunch with my friends last week. The food was great, I will certainly be back

Had an amazing time here last weekend, beautiful pub and the staff were lovely to us. Definitely will be back on our next trip. Highly recommended

Great pub, beautiful old design and fantastic staff and service. Get a wee booth if you can😀

Great points of Guinness but city centre prices 😔

Classic. Definitely one to visit. Many a happy hour spent. Usually very busy. It's tne one they use on tne adverts!

Lovely staff and great service!

The overall ambience is so welcoming we were recommended by a friend and it proved to be a great choice

This place is a true gem! Impeccable decor, a vast selection of top-notch beverages, and a charming atmosphere make it a must-visit. The friendly staff and historic ambiance create an unforgettable experience!

Went here on a friend’s stag do, spent the entire afternoon there! The staff were superb, the beers were brilliant and the building was beautiful. It’s on my list for whenever I return to Belfast

Fantastic service. Friendly staff, lovely food highly recommended.

Beat pub in Belfast, right enjoyed the food and drinks. Stopped in for hours. Will be back. Belting Cider.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and really nice staff had a great time here. Brought the whole family and will definitely be back again. Highly recommended 👌

A proper unique spot, a must to visit when in Belfast. A really warm and friendly atmosphere, great selection of food and drink to choose from too. You don’t see many places like this anymore.

Came here as part of my stag do and what a phenomenal pub!! A really beautiful place full of charm, character and excellent hospitality. Really one of the prettiest pubs I’ve ever had the pleasure to drink in the history of the place alone is worth a visit!!! Excellent food and drink and as I said the hospitality was wonderful, the landlord had reserved us a couple of booths and made every effort to enhance our experience! Cannot wait to return!!

Brilliant atmosphere and a wonderful traditional decor. Cracking beer and staff! All round great pub! Best in Belfast.

Espantoso lugar. La atención es un desastre. No había nadie. Literalmente había 5 personas cenando. Llegamos sin reserva y no nos dejaron comer. Entramos a la web, hicimos la reserva en el momento y ahí si nos dejaron. De la misma manera llego mucha gente y con el restaurant vacío se fueron porque las camareras los echaban. Una vergüenza de lugar. Y encima la comida no es nada especial. No volvería ni loco.

Great bar downstairs, so unique. Lovely dining room upstairs. Food and service excellent

What a venue! Highly recommend visiting The Crown to see the decor and enjoy a drink. Buzzing atmosphere. It was incredibly busy when we went, there were no seats and no standing room available, so unfortunately we were quick to leave. However very glad we saw the space and I'd definitely return for a drink!

Everything was fabulous! Service was so attentive. The entire staff was on top of every detail. The food was fantastic. The restaurant was impeccably clean.

This place is a must see in Belfast. Very kind staff, great food, good prices, nice atmosphere.

Was soll man sagen? Einer der besten Pubs, in denen ich gewesen bin. Grandios, wie hier Tradition und Gastfreundschaft zusammen kommen. Ich wünschte, es würde einen solchen Pub in Deutschland geben. Wir waren sowohl unten als auch oben im Dining-Bereich. Beides absolut top. Die Angestellten, von der Security über die Bedienung bis zur Küche, verstehen ihren Job zu 100 Prozent. Danke für die gute Zeit.

Un lugar encantador,es muy bonito,el comedor de la parte de arriba está inspirado en los camarotes del Titanic ya que lo construyeron los mismos trabajadores,el servicio lento y la comida está buena sin más,precio alto para la calidad de la comida pero estás pagando el entorno supongo

Pub has a stunning interior and the bar is lovely, Not the best place to have a meal if you solo traveller with a disability. Sad, in this day and age Came to Belfast for a New Year break and I have autism and find it hard to communicate especially in new places. I went up to the bar and asked about the meals they do and then was told to go upstairs I then went upstairs and waited and waited until finally I walked over to the upstairs bar to get someone’s attention and they told me to go back and wait to be seated. Then I got a table shoved in the corner behind a pillar with armchair seats and A large portion of the menu was unavailable to order. I ordered my meal and the got asked what drink would I want but I didn’t want one the lady said I will be back when you have chosen a drink. Feeling pressured to buy a drink I found a drink to have, I waited a while and then I flagged down another member of staff and said my choice of drink. Then a couple minutes later a guy came upstairs (later discovered he was the man in charge) said come downstairs please (x3) whilst I was puzzled has to why he wants me to go downstairs. I then went downstairs and he then said please leave and I asked what have I done wrong (x2) and he replied I am not welcome and then on the third time of me asking what I had done wrong he said your type aren’t welcome and threatened to phone the police so I left and put a dampener on the New Year break

Stunning pub! Well worth nipping in for a guiness or 2! We didn't eat here but the food looked tasty. Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff 😊 Well done.

Surprisingly good. Thought it would be too touristy but wasn't. Nice for a quick pint.

My children liked their Burger and chips. My tarte was delicious and irish beers too. We loved the ambiance. Very good expérience for me and my children. Just maybe refresh the colors of the outside

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The food just could use a little bit more of attention. It tasted very well, but the cauliflower burger was a bit disappointing. Some more veggies or something would have been nice.

Waitress was very friendly, other staff were polite and efficient. I just like to stand and take in the surrounding history. We always call in here, thanks

Had dinner there, food first class, staff friendly, all good 👍😎

Locale caratteristico con dettagli particolari ben curati. Ottima scelta si piatti tipici inglesi. Birre, gin whisky di qualità

Just had a coffee in one of the bars snugs. Lovely surroundings.
