Robert Stewart’s Spirit Grocer or ‘Bob Stewart’s’ as it’s known to the good folk of Drumbeg, is a renowned dining establishment, situated minutes from Lady Dixon Park on the prestigious Upper Malone Road. Established back in 1620, it was formally known as the Bell Inn, the oldest trading bar licence in the greater Belfast area. Great food is served 7 days a week in this rustic, cosy, gathering spot. With the Lagan Towpath minutes away the bar is a firm favourite for cyclists and walkers alike, who gather round the roaring fire on those cold wet afternoons to warm themselves before sampling some of Bob’s excellent hospitality.

Bob’s is well known for its classic gastropub menu with traditional favourites like Fish & Chips and Steaks sitting well next to delicious daily specials. Sundays are a special day at Bob’s, and it’s great to be part of our regulars Sunday routine. Serving great food and drink to the whole family feels good and is why it’s the staff favourite day to work.

The bar has a weekly pub quiz on a Wednesday night and a very popular trad session in the front bar on a Friday afternoon.

Every Monday & Tuesday is Steak Night and Thursdays are Pizza Night!

Like all Taste of Ulster members, the team are committed to using the best of the local larder. Suppliers include Lisdergan Meats from Tyrone, Elmore Seafood, Draynes Farm for dairy and North Down for vegetables. The bar also pours Lychgate Lager, a lager brewed exclusively for us by Bell’s Brewery, situated in The Deer’s Head in Belfast City Centre.

Bob’s Summer Beer Garden is a great addition to the complex. A great selection of draught beers, cocktails and wine sit well alongside a popular street food style menu including pizza, chicken wings & loaded fries. Our beer garden is dog friendly.

Open 7 days a week:

Monday to Saturday from 12noon and Sunday from 12.30pm.
