Golden Mile (Belfast)

Golden Mile (Belfast)

The Golden Mile is the name given to the stretch of Great Victoria Street between the City Hall and the university area in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Both the Crown Liquor Saloon and the Grand Opera House are on this stretch of road, as are a large number of pubs, bars and restaurants.

The area is flanked on either side by working class areas. Donegall Road and Sandy Row lie to the west and Donegall Pass to the east. Previously the area contained the majority of the city centre's bars, clubs and restaurants. However in recent years the area has seen little investment, with entertainment venues moving to the city centre, Cathedral Quarter or Laganside. In January 2007 planning permission was submitted for the Aurora building. If completed, it will be the tallest building in Ireland.
