McHugh's Bar is one of the oldest buildings in Belfast

McHugh's was originally built as a private dwelling on the old Town Dock around 1711.

Some time after this the dock was demolished and the River Farset was covered, although it still runs under Queen's Square and the adjacent High Street. Between 1715 and 1725 it was converted into a small pub.

The Merchant Hotel and Bar was once the Ulster Bank headquarters

The iconic sandstone structure was purpose-built as the headquarters of the Ulster Bank when the site was originally acquired in 1836.

However, the decision to build was not taken until 1857. Bank Directors Robert Grimshaw and James Heron believed the building should appear elegant, substantial and prosperous.

The Ulster Bank headquarters were transformed into the five-star Merchant Hotel in 2006.

The Morning Star was first built as a coaching stop for the Belfast to Dublin post

The Morning Star name is said to come from the nickname the boys who worked at the old mail coach depot called the building as it was their first point of call of the day usually as the rest of Belfast was still asleep and all that guided them were gas lamps, the moon and stars.
