Duke of York Bar Belfast Northern Ireland - 360 Degree Video
Duke of York Belfast - one of Belfast's Best Bars - definitely a place to see in the Cathedral Quarter. If you are touring Belfast - The Duke is a must visit - along with its neighboring watering holes - The Dark Horse and The Harp Bar. Great for entertainment (Snow Patrol's first gig) and live music in the back bar. Famously blown up by an IRA bomb when they came across an army checkpoint on route to the Belfast Courts - it was rebuilt to its 1950's style. The area itself is one of the oldest parts of Belfast.
The Cathedral Quarter in Belfast is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city and it is usually placed on the list of places which tourists plan to visit while they are spending their vacation in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and which happens to be one of the places where lots of old bars and pubs are also located.
We have been on a mission recently to discover the best places in Belfast and since this included the best bars, we decided to reach out to the Cathedral Quarter and see what this place actually has to offer us (
One of these different bars which we placed our hands on - and our hearts in :-) - is the Duke of York Bar which is located in the Commercial Court ( The Duke is known to offer a traditional Belfast welcome of craic, music, and humour which are considered different than all the other things that might be offered in the surrounding streets of the Commercial Court.
When the word bar is mentioned, the first thing that comes to the mind is trying out the drinks that the place might be serving, but when we say The Duke of York bar in Belfast then there are other calculations that the mind should be doing. The Duke of York is actually the place that should never be missed because in it there is something for every person out there and it is also the place that celebrates the life and characters of the great city of Belfast through the murals, the phrases, and even the pictures that cover the walls of the place - you will also find them over your head on the ceiling - which all add a different taste to the whole place.
Coming into this bar might carry some rules - not strictly ones though - which could be summed up in the saying they have attached on their website which says: Come in soberly, drink moderately, depart quietly and call again.
The history of The Duke of York bar is not agreed upon, there are different stories regarding the whole place, the only thing that we know about the place is that it was a pub for 200 years and got blown up in 1972 by a bomb which was not targeting the place but made this damage to it and thus it needed to be rebuilt once again.
With the perfectly recommended drinks which are served in this bar, it is also recommended for people to visit it for checking the whole area it is located in, which is the Cathedral Quarter ( and which is known to carry lots of other things that tourists and even local people could check.
From the different places in the Cathedral Quarter which one could visit, there is the old and famous St. Anne's Cathedral which is believed to be the reason behind giving that part of the city this name ( and there are also those different streets filled with murals and graffiti which make the place look more artistic.
These murals include the Dark Horse Courtyard which is located just beside The Duke of York Bar and which is famously known with those umbrellas which are also decorating the ceiling of the place as well and that comes in addition to all the other pieces of art which are scattered and drawn across the streets, such as the famous Son of Protagoras which was drawn by the famous artist known as MTO ( as well as the other famous mural named The Tall Ships mural which was also drawn by a 16 year old who won in this competition which was welcoming the tall ships back in Belfast ( all these different murals - or graffiti as they are mostly known these days - are found in the Cathedral Quarter, making the walks in this old place of the city much more interesting.
There are different bars and restaurants in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which you could visit in order to be served with something good to eat or something different to drink, and there are also those places which you could head to just for having a good coffee and something sweet to add just beside it, which we have also done and brought to you before through our channel.
The Duke of York bar is a perfect hit!
Really a must visit for everyone in the City - local & tourists! Normally opened from 11 AM to 1 AM... (so no excuses!)

Best Belfast Wall Mural Ever at Duke of York Bar?
Is this the best ever Belfast wall mural? What do you think?
( Mural legends that I missed and should have immediately recognised!- Mary Peters, Martin Peters, Ottille Patterson, Caron keating, Denis Taylor , Patrick Kielty, Kieren Hinds, The Edge. ) There obviously are a lot more. could you help me out?
I'm down on the city side of the A2 near the docks, in what could be loosely termed as Belfast's Cathedral Quarter. This section of the city is characterised by it's narrow link lanes, cobbled alleys and it's numerous welcoming pubs and eateries. The Duke of York Bar and Coffee shop in particular is not to be missed on any visit.
In these latter days this area has also become well known because of it's wall mural art work. Such is the high standard that it would would not be out of place in any art gallery!
If you want to see this for yourself come down to Commercial Court, Exchange Place, Hill Street in and around the entry/courtyard area of the iconic Duke of York Pub.
This is an excellent extensive set of wall murals in the Duke of York Bar entry and courtyard. These colourful, comedic, Belfast tribute, wall murals are collectively are unmatched anywhere in Belfast. Come down and see them for yourself.

Britain's Most Historic Towns Episode 6 Victorian Belfast
The history of Belfast as a settlement goes back to the Iron Age,[1] but its status as a major urban centre dates to the 18th century. Belfast today is the capital of Northern Ireland. Belfast was throughout its modern history a major commercial and industrial centre, but the late 20th century saw a decline in its traditional industries, particularly shipbuilding.
The city's history has been marked by violent conflict between Catholics and Protestants which has caused many working class areas of the city to be split into Catholic and Protestant areas. In recent years the city has been relatively peaceful and major redevelopment has occurred, especially in the inner city and dock areas.

Inside The Crown Bar Liquor Saloon, Belfast
I'm on Belfast's 'Golden Mile'. I'm on the very busy Great Victorian Street and I'm here to visit what is arguably one of the world's greatest bars. This is the iconic Crown Bar or Crown Liquor Saloon, The most famous pub in Belfast.
The Crown Liquor Saloon is a pub in Great Victoria Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Refurbished in 1885, and at least twice since, it is an outstanding example of a Victorian gin palace, and one of Northern Ireland's best-known pubs.
You will find The Crown Liquor Saloon in Belfast within a short stroll of Europa Hotel, Grosvenor Road and Glengall Street - however you won't find another like it. The Crown is both ageless and priceless, a gem of Victoriana and in our view one of the great bars of the world. Formerly known as The Liquor Saloon in Great Victoria Street, Belfast, it was one of the mightiest Victorian gin palaces which once flourished in the industrial cities of the British Isles. The Crown Liquor Saloon is one of many rare gems in the Nicholson's collection of great pubs, reputed for their distinctive buildings, intriguing history and vibrant atmosphere.
I'm particularly fascinated by the ornate interior with it's carved-mahogany booths, etched-glass, plus gas lamps feature in an 1820's pub, famed for its decor.
History
Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.
Interesting Festures
The exterior is decorated in polychromatic tiles. This includes a mosaic of a Crown on the floor of the entrance. The interior is also decorated with complex mosaics of tiles. The red granite topped bar is of an altar style, with a heated footrest underneath and is lit by gas lamps on the highly decorative carved ceilings.
The Crown has ten booths, or snugs. Built to accommodate the pub's more reserved customers during the austere Victorian period, the snugs feature the original gun metal plates for striking matches and an antique bell system for alerting staff.[3][4] Extra privacy was then afforded by the pub's etched and stained glass windows which feature painted shells, fairies, pineapples, fleurs-de-lis and clowns.

THE WORLD FAMOUS CROWN BAR BELFAST
Best Bars in Belfast - Northern Ireland - Belfast Cocktails
Visiting a new city or country is not just about hitting those historical places and walking through its old streets, but it is also about the nightlife that one will enjoy and be part of. We have been out to visit some of the best bars in Belfast in which you could have a drink during the day as well.
Being in a city that you have never been to before is different because at this point you will realize that you are choosing a bar haphazardly, spotting one out there and heading directly out to it. Since we are Belfast-people and know more about the places and streets that make this city, we decided to visit some of the bars which we have heard about them being the best out there and headed out to check.
Our first stop - and recommendation - is the Bootleggers which is considered in the heart of Belfast City Centre and Cathedral Quarter. This place is considered a nod to the 1920's days of prohibition in USA when the alcohol was outlawed there. The barman at the Bootleggers showed us two different cocktails which are prepared there and which are: America F*** Yea and Pear with Me. We have gone through the instructions about the ingredients that should be used but we believe no one will ever be the same as the Bootleggers in preparing these cocktails.
The next stop in this trip of exploring the best bars in Belfast was at The Spaniard which is also located in the Cathedral Quarter in Skipper Street ( There are usually different stories related to the old places in any city around the world and in the case of The Spaniard in Belfast, one of these stories say that it is given that name because Spanish sailors used to come to this place - but who knows. In this bar, Michelle did not just see how the drink is prepared, which was called Dark and Stormy cocktail, but she also got the chance to prepare one all by herself - and drink it at the end - which is why we should trust her opinion with our eyes closed; easy to prepare and tasty to drink.
The third place to go and check is the Kelly's Cellars; Kelly's Cellars is a traditional Irish pub that is famous for serving Guinness. If you think that pouring wine inside the glass is just how you do it at home then you are wrong because there is actually a technique for that and this technique is followed at the Kelly's Cellars - which might be one reason why they are famous for that - one really gets to know much when visiting those bars!
The next best bar in Belfast is Muriel's Cafe Bar which is an amazing place for specialty gins ( Inside this bar we got the chance to see the barman - barwoman in this case - preparing two different cocktails which are also considered famous in this place and which are Brockman & Elderflower Martini as well as the Espresso Martini - we were amazed by how quick and easy they are prepared and how at the end they bring some different taste - you will definitely love it!
Our trip to explore those best bars in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is not over yet because there are still other ones which we visited out there and which have tried their special drinks as well, such as The Duke of York which is also found in the Cathedral Quarter. The Duke of York is mainly known for its whiskies, with the largest selection of whiskies in all of Ireland. This place has a whiskey shop around the corner and we tried the whiskey known as A Friend of Hand; Michelle tried it neat but there are other ways that people might prefer to drink it into - and you will find a secret behind those whiskies as well.
Before going out for this trip and before discovering the best bars in Belfast, we didn't know that there are actually lots of choices out there, but we are glad about the results. The Harp Bar was another place which we have been to and where we also got the chance to see how they pour the perfect Guinness which the barman believe that it goes through four different steps: choosing the right glass, pouring the Guinness while the glass is at 45 degrees, wait for the glass until the Guinness is all in the same color, and finally top it until the Guinness is one mm top of the glass, finally one will have to wait until it is all black before drinking it; that's what they call the perfect Guinness.
The Dirty Union is the next bar on this long list and which is located in Belfast's oldest building ( The Dirty Onion is amazing and different because it has a big outdoor garden, a bar, and a restaurant, so all your needs are there.
The last stop in this trip was The Perch rooftop bar - which is one of the few in Belfast - which is famous for its specialty cocktails; we have tried their Espresso Martini.
We have to say that we are spoiled here in Belfast when it comes to bars!
