The proprietor of some of Belfast’s most iconic bars has said “it’s all for the city” as he has been made an MBE. Well done, Willie!
The proprietor of some of Belfast’s most iconic bars has said “it’s all for the city” as he has been made an MBE.
He added: “Let’s just do it here and leave a legacy. Right? A real legacy for Belfast. Anybody who knows our ethos, there’s no football, no TVs, I don’t sell alcopops, I don’t permit poker machines. “I want people to come to Belfast – to fly into an airport I don’t own, to get a taxi I don’t own, to stay in a hotel I don’t own, to eat in a restaurant I don’t own. But to come and see the history, and if they want a whiskey they can buy it in our wee shop,” he said.
