Back in the day a loyalist pub, and a few metres up the road another pub, The Beaten Docket which was are republican as could be. Fascinating place Belfast but most of the old 'hard' areas have been demolished now.
Think that was the Europa Hotel.

Had a few stays in Belfast, once with the boys, the rest for business. Always enjoyed it, good place for a weekend.
