The Morning Star

Located in a romantic old entry running between Ann Street and High Street, the Morning Star is easily identified by the superb Victorian sign handing from a grandly exuberant iron bracket jutting out from the corner of the bar. Have a good look the next time you go outside the building – it’s one of the finest examples of its type to be found anywhere in Ireland.

Another great rarity is the Winged Lion of St Mark sitting proudly on the corner.
Our building is historically listed and can trace its history back to 1810 when it was mentioned in the Belfast Newsletter as being one of the terminals for the Belfast to Dublin Mail Coach. The downstairs bar has its original mahogany counter with its old terrazzo floor. The Morning Star is a must for anyone anxious to see “a living museum piece of old Belfast”.
