The current Mrs Glassers has just surprised me with a day trip to Belfast tomorrow for our wedding anniversary. Flying out at 7am tomorrow morning, fly back the same day at 8pm.
Hiring a car so driving to the Giant’s Causeway then heading to the Titanic museum. Any other recommendations we can squeeze in whilst we’re there? Somewhere nice for lunch? |  |

You should try and find half an hour for a swift half in The Crown. Opposite the Europa Hotel, which was Europe's most bombed. Barry Cryer and Willy Rushton stayed there during a tour. The receptionist asked ' how did you hear about us?" and Rushton replied " News at ten". Would you have time for a murals tour? |  | | |

The Bushmills distillery is close to the Giants Causeway and an interesting place to visit. I would also second The Crown which is a spectacular pub. |  | | |

Are you coming into international or city airport?
If international you can go straight to the causeway and the rope bridge and then drive down the coastal route ( a must do) to Belfast!
City I would do Titanic first and then drive up.
Cafes are not exactly prevalent but play it by ear,Cushendall is halfway house both ways so will probably be your best bet,it will be a long day but enjoy👍😀
PS don’t forget the Ulster fry😉 [Post edited 16 Sep 9:35]

Seen a few people doing an ‘extreme day trip’ lately, sound like a really good idea if you can get the flights cheap enough |  |

The Titanic exhibition is amazing. Opened my eyes to the former importance of Belfast and why the UK hung on to it a century ago.
Also found our way to George Best's grave - my wife supports ManU - the array of different flags in the cemetery has stuck in my memory. [Post edited 16 Sep 9:45]

"Current" Mrs Glassers? It sounds like she is coming up for replacement! |  |

Thanks for the recommendations. She also mentioned a pub with a Spanish sounding name but she can't remember what it's called. | |

I've got a mate who 3-4 times a year with his uni mates goes for a High Rollers lunch, last Thursday it was in Stockholm, they just go there, have a boozy lunch at a nice restaurant then come home about 6pm.
Don't think I could be bothered with it, or afford to do it very often! |  |

Look out for the blue plaque in the little road off Shankhill that says ‘keno lived here after he was born in the Royal Victoria Hospital’
Obviously that’ll be the highlight of your day |  |

Yeah a mates trip would seem a little excessive, considering it’s probably just beers in a different place.
But if there was (for example) a match on in Holland, and the kids were a good age, I could see the pull to do it then. | |
