Bt1
Bt1 - Karaoke in Belfast every Friday & Saturday from 9pm
The basement is home to the intimate & quirky, appropriately named BT1 (after the area’s city centre postcode). It's a melting pot of strikingly different individuals. They talk their talk, dance their dance, drink their drink, set their own trends and follow their own fashion.
Do you fit the bill? They all do here, this is their place. Is it yours?
BT1 also boasts cosy curtained booths and stylish seating with some of the funkiest unisex loos in the city. It’s hip, there’s no doubt about that, but you’ll feel right at home.
Saloon
Established since 1895, Robinsons Saloon is like any fine beverage, it simply improves with age. This is a bar full of pure charm and character. A popular meeting place for a chat and sociable drink. Give a nod to the barman as you enter and “sup” on your freshly poured pint. Order a bite of lunch & savour the atmosphere.
Looking around, there's a rustle of newspapers, a bit of chat about horses and blind jockeys. It’s almost a pity to have to go home, but even the journey to the door rewards you with a few relics from the unfortunate Titanic. (See our Titanic section for the historic details). It’s just a little bit of tradition cut off from the hustle and bustle outside.
Fibber Magee’s
Walk to the back of Robinsons Saloon or enter from Blackstaff Square at the rear of the building & you find a hidden gem; Fibber Magee’s is the genuine article, a spit and sawdust bar, packed to the rafters with old Irish artefacts.
It's truly a step back in time. The peat is crackling as it burns in the great fireplace and there are tunes being played which is music to any ears. It's Uilleann (pronounced “ill-yan”) Pipes meaning “Pipes of the elbow” in Irish, fiddle and whistle played with flamboyant precision.
Traditional musicians entertain night after night to a throng of people and the “craic is always ninety” as we say in these parts. C’mon over & join us for a pint and live the past at Fibbers.
Bistro
Come to Bistro to dine in timeless elegance any time of day. With dishes to suit even the most fickle of diners, we have a menu to suit you. Overlooking bustling Great Victoria Street on one side & Blackstaff Square on the other where business heads cross paths with students you can watch the world go by.
Situated on the first floor, Bistro is a charming “new relic” within the traditional walls of Robinsons Bars with gleaming wood floors, high ceilings, leather sofas and great views to the likes of the Grand Opera House. Whether you are out for lunch, family dinner, a pre-theatre meal or drink, this is a place where time is allowed to slow down.
Roxy
A New York styled loft seemlessly fused with 'industrial chic' styling. Low lights set the scene as every Saturday DJs engage the crowds with dance floor anthems and retro favourites. Feel the pulsating energy & dance to the beat.
A venue for those dedicated to enjoyment…at the highest level.
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.
