Belfast

Queen's University in Belfast.

Right next door is Molly's Yard, a local brew-pub, where we found a delicious, rich, dark lager. 

The Crown Liquor Saloon is a Victorian gin palace and one of Belfast's best-known pubs. 

All men are required to buy two beers upon entering. No complaints from me. 

The Crown features unique closed door booths called snugs that use an antique bell system to alert staff when your glass has gone dry.  Jesse and Jess, a Canadian exchange teacher, invaded an occupied snug in order to have have an authentic Crown experience.   

The Crown was packed with Friday faithfuls. In the background, you can make out the intricate ceiling design and gas lamps that are still used to light the Crown. It was one of the highlights of the trip.

After throwing back a few pints, we strolled down to Belfast city hall to take in the sunset.
