Birthplace of Titanic's Blueprint
Step into the very room where naval architects sketched the lines of the RMS Titanic and other legendary ocean liners. This grand space in Belfast's Titanic Hotel served as Harland & Wolff's drawing office, a hub of innovation during the early 20th century. The air still carries echoes of pencils on paper and heated debates over hull designs, as engineers meticulously planned vessels that would conquer the seas. Original features abound, from the intricate plasterwork molded by the same artisans who adorned the great liners to the resilient Villeroy & Boch tiles encircling the bar—exact replicas of those lining Titanic's swimming pool and first-class bathrooms. These details transport visitors back to 1912, when ambition and craftsmanship converged.Architectural Grandeur Above
Gaze upward to the breathtaking three-storey barrel-vaulted ceiling, a testament to Edwardian engineering prowess. Natural light filters through high windows, illuminating the vast volume that once accommodated towering drafting boards and teams of draftsmen. Today, this architectural marvel frames a lively bar scene, where the ceiling's curves create an intimate yet expansive atmosphere. Local artist Colin H. Davidson's original artwork graces the walls, capturing Belfast's maritime soul in vivid strokes. Comfortable niches with low sofas invite lingering, blending the room's industrial heritage with contemporary comfort.Savory Maritime Menu
The all-day menu draws inspiration from Belfast's seafaring past, featuring hearty dishes like Dockers Seafood Chowder packed with smoked haddock, salmon, hake, mussels, and prawns in a curried broth. Beer-battered fish and chips evoke dockside meals, served with mushy peas and tartare sauce, while the Titanic Caesar salad nods to elegance with baby gem, parmesan, bacon, and croutons. Mains range from sirloin steak with smoked garlic butter to Mediterranean rigatoni and chicken schnitzel. Lighter bites include pork belly with honey-soya glaze and halloumi fritters with tomato-chilli jam. Desserts tempt with sticky toffee pudding, crème brûlée, and Irish cheese boards, all crafted with fresh, local ingredients.Island Bar and Cocktails
At the heart lies the polished island bar, perfect for sipping craft cocktails or a pint amid the buzz. Winter lunches transition seamlessly to evening gatherings, with sharing boards like charcuterie for two fostering conviviality. The bar's design echoes the room's nautical theme, offering wines, spirits, and seasonal specials in a space alive with conversation. Whether solo or in groups, the setting encourages unwinding, with the historical weight adding depth to every toast. It's a place where past and present mingle fluidly.Titanic Quarter Context
