I've made a note of both of them and I'm going to try to get to them soon. I've already eaten crocodile along with many other "exotic" animals. But I plan on checking it out nonetheless. :) Thanks Grannymar.

It is lit by Gaslight. It has a good atmosphere and is very popular with locals and tourists. Robert, In the interest of good north, south relations I have checked this morning and The Crown is open for business. Lunches are can be had in the Old Dining Room on the first floor. They are hoping to have the workmen out and to serve lunches once more in the snugs from the end of next week. Also worth a visit is THE MORNING STAR, 17-19 Pottinger's Entry (It runs from High Street to Ann Street) Belfast. This historically listed pub has a menu which features traditional Irish as well as the more unusual such as crocodile. Originally a coaching house, this pub boasts winner of the British Airways Best Pub Food Award as well as being the runner-up in All Ireland Seafood Pub of the year and a Member of the Taste of Ulster.

I was in Belfast on Tuesday and again today (Friday), although only passing through today. I will be back up there the week after next so I think I will certainly head there for a look. Oh no!

Nice to see this old places restored rather than demolished and concrete boxes being put in their place. Great looking pub GM even if it is a little ‘gaudy’.

I'm not only a pipe smoker, but I smoke a pipe that looks like an oil refinery inside, with all its damned filters. That gunk on the ceiling was caused by cigarette smokers. Foul animals ;) My lungs are as pure as the driven snow [and if you've ever driven snow, you'll know how pure that is!].

It deserves to be restored to its former glory.I thought it was beautiful as it was when I was there, but I can only imagine how it will look when it has been all polished up. Yes, I would love to visit again and sit in a snug and listen to the stories and laugh and cry at the same time. Hello Grannymar,
