点评:We decided to stop by just for the little café as we were told the main room was a good vibe. Upon arrival, we thought we would do the Thompson Dock Tour with Brian, and it was fantastic! Both my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the history and stories Brian had to share, and his passion for the Dry Dock and Pump House was undeniable.
His passion for the whiskey was also top class. We actually added the Distillery tour on, and it was very interesting. I don't drink, so the vodka wasn't pleasant for my palette and I couldn't bring myself to try the whiskey, but my partner did and she thought they were very nice, especially the vodka (which she also tried in a cocktail).
A big thank you to the staff for selling me the Jarritos Pineapple individually, it's usually used for mixing in cocktails, but as I don't drink, they let me purchase a bottle. I really appreciated that.
Overall, it was a great experience. If you are a fan of Irish, Titanic, or Belfast history, or just a fan of booze, then it's a great place to check out. Thanks again to Brian for his knowledge and enthusiasm about the area.
P.S. The cup of tea and Caramel Slice were great. If a few gluten-free options were available, that would be perfect!
翻译:我们原本只是冲着那家小咖啡馆才决定过来的,因为听说主厅的氛围很不错。到了之后,我们决定参加由布赖恩带领的汤普森船坞导览,体验真是棒极了!我和女友都非常喜欢布赖恩讲述的历史故事,他对干船坞和泵房的深厚热情也显而易见。
他对威士忌的热情同样一流。我们后来还额外报名了酿酒厂导览,也非常有趣。不过我自己并不喝酒。所以伏特加对我来说口感并不好,我实在没勇气去尝试威士忌,不过我的伴侣尝试了,她觉得这两种酒都相当不错,尤其是伏特加(她还用伏特加调制了一杯鸡尾酒)。
非常感谢店员们允许我单独购买一瓶Jarritos菠萝味汽水——这种汽水通常用于调制鸡尾酒,但由于我不喝酒,他们还是让我买下了一瓶。我真的非常感激。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的体验。如果你是爱尔兰威士忌或《泰坦尼克号》的粉丝的话……无论你是对贝尔法斯特的历史感兴趣,还是单纯喜欢喝酒,这里都是一个值得一逛的好去处。再次感谢布莱恩,感谢他对该地区的丰富了解与热情介绍。
附言:那杯茶和焦糖饼干真是美味至极。如果能提供一些无麸质食品选项,那就更完美了!
