Most people know our beautiful main bar here at the Crown Bar Belfast is lit by gas lights but did you know that we have to change the mantles in them every 4 weeks or so. However the task isn't so bad when you have a view like this.

It takes 119.5 seconds to pour the perfect Guinness so waiting for your pint takes a little patience. When it looks this good though it’s definitely worth the wait.

Standing in the shadow of our famous neighbour just across great Victoria st, the two iconic buildings of the Europa Hotel and Crown Bar Belfast . They might be bigger than us but we’ve been going a little bit longer providing the people of Belfast and beyond with great hospitality for the last 200years.

Our beautiful bar and the rail across the ceiling with the original call for service bells still in place. You may have noticed that there are 10 letters but there are only 9 snugs. The extra letter J was for the bar to call the floor staff back to collect the drinks.

We love to hear when people have had a great visit to our bar and get many wonderful comments on review sites which we always reply to. It’s even nicer though when people take the time to leave us a little note like the one here to tell us that we have made a difference to their trip and given a great impression of our bar and of Belfast.

A cleverly positioned mirror on the back wall makes our bar look much bigger and gives the impression of more snugs to sit in further back. Unfortunately we just have the nine but it doesn’t stop people peeping round the corner to see if there are any free 😊

Pub windows were traditionally stained, or painted to block clear views from the outside. This provided customer privacy, satisfied Victorian licensing laws that prohibited passersby from peering inside, and hid smoky, dim interiors. In Gin Palaces like the Crown Bar Belfast they transformed a functional privacy screen into decorative art

Whilst gas was used widely for lighting throughout the 1800’s the gas mantles that we use in our bar were not invented until 1891. They eliminated the need for special illuminating gas to get a bright shining flame and have lit our bar ever since. Lasting around 4 weeks they need regularly replacing to make sure they burn clean and bright but we think they give the bar a special atmosphere and feel.
