Robinsons

Five Venues Under One Roof

Titanic

 

“Established in 1895, Robinsons Bar is a place where you can truly step back in time. The famous ground floor Saloon contains unique memorabilia from the Titanic, including the famous “Philomena Doll” recovered from the wreckage. Letters & postcards written on board the iconic ship sit alongside 1st & 2nd class china used on all White Star Liners.

 

Wander around the Saloon taking in the history of that iconic ship & imagine what was happening in these parts on the day when the Titanic was launched on 31st May 1911, or when she set sail on that fateful maiden voyage on 10th April 1912.

 

Remember that Robinsons Bars was only a teenager when it all happened.

 

Then sit down & enjoy a drink or two with lunch or dinner in these traditional surroundings & wonder where to “take yourself off” to next in the historic city of Belfast.

 

Open daily for lunch & dinner with live traditional music in the evenings.

House flag and Nameplate

 

Titanic Ticket  

It is believed that, of the sixteen wooden lifeboats aboard Titanic, thirteen were temporarily moored at the White Star Line piers in New York after the Carpathia docked and unloaded survivors and lifeboats


A New York City policeman removed this painted cast iron House Flag and nameplate from one of these lifeboats in 1912 and it was passed down through his family.
