Last time I went about 5 year ago was 42 quid return can’t grumble at that. Probably changed a lot since you went. Give it a bash 👍🏼 I like a ferry ride now and again but will deffo go back. Quote

What I would give for a pint of Guinness right now!! Is that the one opposite a hotel that's something like the most bombed building in the world? If so, have been in Quote

Some brilliant bars in Belfast and great folk what made you welcome. Very true but you’ve still got to keep your wits about you Went to a really nice place down near the markets a while back. Atmosphere turned a bit moody after a short while and got that feeling that everyone was talking about us. Supped up and left sharpish when I noticed that a lot of the decor was green and orange. Similarly, took a wrong turn on a pub crawl and ended up in Sandy Row. No joke how many folk asked us the time. Even hate the Brits there Quote

That tiny boozer almost next to the Old Monkey Two problems though. With social distancing only about 8 people would be allowed in and it’s a hard core United/Irish Catholic pub. Prob not a good venue for the jolly boys Quote
MancWanderer Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 The Lower Turks Head on Shudehill used to do a decent pint. Also a good venue to meet up as it’s right by Victoria station for those travelling by tram or train Quote

A life's challenge there. Quote
