Nice place for breakfast but the Irish fry was a bit small and undercooked, the bit of soda wasnt even coloured and the slinger was just about cooked, and I don't understand why when you consider all the included costs of running a pub, or any hostelry, why they don't spend another 50p maybe to make a meal look a bit more value.

We were up in Belfast for the weekend and stopped in for food and a drink on our tour. We stumbled upon an absolute gem. Highly recommend the Criterion for day beers or a night out. Top marks all around
