Named after the boxy Belfast sinks where locals used to gather, Jawbox Gin has become a staple of the city. Distilled with regional botanicals, it prides itself on being a top-quality spirit. Enjoy a glass at the Duke of York pub, where the dark wood fixtures, brick walls, and intricate artwork hanging from floor to ceiling make it the quintessential Irish pub to raise a glass and say\u00a0 ‘cheers’ or as the Irish say, ‘slainte!’.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
