Robinsons Bar

Great wee Belfast bar with something for pretty much everyone or occasion.
There is a bar downstairs with a bit at the back, a resteraunt upstairs then on the top floor a massive pool hall. The pool hall is fab and you can reserve a table with seats around it too for groups. It’s lovely. There is a bar on this level too with a good range of beer on taps, bottles, Alaska cider and spirits etc. The downstairs bar would have a much bigger range of drinks available and would be pretty busy, I’ve never managed to get a table or leaning post there. Great buzzing atmosphere with it being so busy. It would tend to be a mixed age crowd, not many really young ones.
The resteraunt is delicious, tables are spacious and not cramped, staff are fab. They do a brilliant pre theatre menu which is on every day (defo mon-​sat anyway)…3 courses for approx £15 and absolutely beautiful food. Recommended that you ring and book in advance so you don’t have to queue or get turned away.

An extremely busy bar in Belfast so be prepared to queue at times … A great selection of beers tho !
Upstairs in the restaurant they have a great pre they’re menu with either 2 or 3 course options.
Food was lovely and so were the staff.
I would recommend pre booking a table at peak times :)

Food wad great. Very reasonably priced and service was quick and cheerful. Slated chilli chicken and chips was amazing but unfortunately I was so hungry I inhaled my food before I thought to take a photo so you will just have to call down and try it, yous won’t be disappointed ;) cocktails tasted great also. This place is worth a visit, plus it’s in the centre of town so it’s in walking distance of many bars.

Just what you would expect from a bar. Good drinks, fast service, clean place. Antique looking ambiance. Very nice. The food was good.

Since this establishment is literally right outside our door, of course we had to go! Went in at Fibber Magees and walked through to Robinsons. At the happy hour there were a lot more folks in the Robinsons side and we sat and enjoyed a few pints before heading out to walk around the city. Because of the location I’m sure we’ll be back soon.

Despite my Northern Irish roots, today was my first time ever in Robinsons bar, which is one of Belfast’s oldest bars, and ever so conveniently located directly in front of the Europa bus station. I had a long day travelling, with a break in Belfast at about 5 pm and popped in for an early dinner and a glass of wine.
It has an attractively dark and deceptively spacious interior. Although carpeted, it actually doesn’t smell. (Good ventilation always a plus with me). The bar staff were friendly, and even though I was the only woman in the place, and alone, I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
The food (chicken and chips) and wine were sadly both vile and I didn’t eat much. I think the menu needs a bit more information on it. It was also quite overpriced for the quality, even taking that it was just ‘bar food’ into consideration. However, next time I’m in Belfast I’ll check it out again because I did like the atmosphere.

Schöner Pub, super Ambiente und Atmosphäre, dazu original Gegenstände der Titanic!

I used to work in Robinson’s. As door staff, in fact — I think all bars could benefit from a female bouncer or two, even if they are as diminutive as little me.
The head bouncer clearly didn’t agree though and used to send me upstairs to the godawful Roxy Nightclub where he must have thought there’d be less fights. Ha.
This nightclub is truly terrible, nearly as bad as the M Club and with a similar clientele. Don’t come here if you’re a woman heading out with another woman as you will certainly be harassed by the gormless male clients, who would do charming things like rub their crotches against any women brazen enough to actually dance in a nightclub. The times I intervened, the guys just didn’t get why and no doubt thought I was a jealous bitter lesbian. Any day if the alternative is you, mate.
Robinson’s is OK in the afternoon and early evening, and their fiddly-​dee nights in the back bar Fibber’s aren’t too bad. Judging by the customers I’d see in the restaurant on the occasions that I escaped from the nightclub for a few minutes for a smoke, the food is pretty good.
But this is the bar I got jumped on by an enraged drunken millie — which would be standard enough for the type of spidey hole this is, if her mother (yes, her mother) hadn’t jumped on as well and her boyfriend stamped on my arm so hard I had the imprint of his trainer bruised there for two weeks. To be jumped by a millie AND her millbag ma just about sums this bar up.

Robinsons is one of Belfast’s oldest bars and is always really busy! I much prefer to go here early evening and than go on to somewhere else as the crowd can get rowdy! But its still a really good night out! The bar is always buzzing and its situated right outside the Europa so handy for popping in whilst waiting for a train!
The restaurant upstairs is really nice and serves things such as fish, steak, chicken and duck and the food has always been really good! Especially the duck which is a favourite if mine!
The atmosphere is traditional but also young and lively and there’s always good music on! A great night out offering plenty of variety in its different venues! The pints are really good and the service quick!
