Robert Stewarts in Lisburn

the staff were extremely helpful

Atmosphere is awesome if you are looking for a small intimate irish pub (restaurant attached). Been many times but hard to beat the Guinness with the fire in the background. Great staff behind the bar too.

Best staff ever! Broke down outside and they couldn’t have been nicer. Restaurant manager gave us a table in the restaurant (as my elderly mother wouldn’t have managed the bar) even though they were fully booked. The lady behind the bar was a mechanic and changed our tyre! Can’t imagine anywhere else that would have have gone out of their way so much! Special thanks to the staff for all their kindness.

Beautiful old pub. Really amazing place, especially their commitment to helping local charity NIKRF. Always a great reason to frequent this great pub and feel good about it too! Hope they do their summer outdoor pub again this year

Brilliant experience from start to finish. High quality food at a reasonable price. Specials were delicious. Couldn’t ask for better service. Beautifully scenic restaurant.

First time visiting here today, wife treated me for my birthday. As soon as we arrived the waitress took us straight to table, within minutes or ordering we had our starters. Hot wings were great, with was happy with her soup and wheaten. Dinner came and I didn’t know wether I was to climb it or eat it, roast beef, veg, mash, roasties and I’m going to assume homemade Yorkshire puddings, all were perfect. Nice, cosy and warm atmosphere, service was extremely good, food was unreal. Price was reasonable particularly for portion sizes. Hats off to chef for such great food ans waiting staff for great service.

Used to go some years back when the place was under the previous owner. The food was then average, but the owner a bit curmudgeonly. The new owners have made the place more friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent and the service good. Staff friendly. Perhaps a bit on the expensive side, but not easy to run a restaurant these days. Plenty of people coming and going which is always a good sign.

Visita muy muy decepcionante. Dos días antes de ir envié un correo electrónico al restaurante para ver si tenían un menú sin glotón y todavía estoy esperando una respuesta. Me puse en línea y establecí que hacían comidas sin glotón de otros clientes. He reservado una mesa para tres personas por 1. 15 el 11 de febrero llegamos a la 1. 15 y fueron mostrados inmediatamente a nuestra mesa. Antes de que tuviéramos tiempo de quitarnos los abrigos o de sentarnos nos preguntó la camarera si queríamos una bebida. Mi esposa le preguntó si podía tomar una copa de Malbec que nos dijeron que no podía, ya que no se vendía por copa. Mi esposa le preguntó qué vino podía tomar por copa y posteriormente ordenó una de las opciones. Si hubiéramos tenido tiempo de sentarnos y t Leído el menú de bebidas en la mesa habríamos visto que el Malbec no estaba disponible. Mi hija y yo pedimos nuestras bebidas y nos sentamos a ver el menú del almuerzo. 25 minutos después la misma camarera finalmente regresó para tomar nuestro pedido de almuerzo. Mi hija preguntó si había un menú sin glotón y le dijeron que no podía tener nada en el menú sin glotón. Mi hija entonces preguntó si la hamburguesa era glotón menú libre la camarera dijo que iría a comprobar! Ella regresó para decir que podía y esto fue ordenado posteriormente. Mi esposa y yo comimos las hamburguesas de pollo frito del sur y una porción de aros de cebolla. Me dio la impresión de que la camarera no estaba escuchando correctamente, ya que tenía que preguntarle a mi hija por segunda vez qué quería. Después de esperar otros 30 minutos, llamé a una camarera que pasaba y le expliqué que ahora habíamos estado en el restaurante durante 55 minutos y todavía no nos habían servido nada de comida. Dijo que estaban muy ocupados ya que una mirada de los clientes había llegado al mismo tiempo. Nuestra comida finalmente llegó menos los aros de cebolla y la hamburguesa sin glotón de mi hija. Un minuto después llegó la hamburguesa, pero no había aros de cebolla. La camarera se fue. Supuse que compraría los aros de cebolla, pero nunca llegaron. ¡Al recibir la factura más tarde me di cuenta de que nunca se habían pedido! Cuando comenzamos nuestra comida, mi esposa intentó poner un poco de sal en su comida solo para descubrir que la sal no salía del vendedor de sal, le pidió a una camarera que pasaba un poco de sal. La camarera levantó a otro vendedor de sal de una mesa adyacente y se la dio. Mi esposa intentó esto y no parecía que saliera sal, a lo que la camarera dijo que salía sal, probablemente no se puede ver debido a la poca iluminación. La comida en sí fue decepcionante, ya que el pollo frito del sur sabía bastante soso y no era picante de ninguna manera. Pedí la factura y esto fue lo único que llegó rápidamente. Me preguntaron si estaba pagando con tarjeta o en efectivo. Dije efectivo. La camarera luego regresó con la máquina de tarjetas y me preguntó si estaba pagando con tarjeta o en efectivo. Había leído esto este era uno de los dos mejores lugares en N. Irlanda para ir a comer. He comido mucho en Irlanda del Norte y puedo decir que este fue el peor servicio que he encontrado. La actitud de las camareras nos hizo sentir que éramos un inconveniente y nunca sonrieron una vez ni se disculparon por la larga espera. No recomendaría este lugar. Hay muchos mejores restaurantes en N. Ireland donde se siente bienvenido y puede disfrutar de su comida servida por un personal agradable. Ciertamente nunca volveremos

Best service ever. And super food. First time at it. Only review I have ever left. Will be back.

Went midweek for lunch. Lovely and quiet. My friend had the steak sandwich which looked incredible and I had the fish and chips. The chips were a little underdone but they rectified it with no hassle at all. Will definitely be back!

¿Qué puedo decir de Bob Stewart? Lugar increíble, el pub más antiguo de la zona de Belfast. Pequeño y acogedor y un gran ambiente. La comida es bastante bueno también! Personal encantador.

Primera visita a este restaurante en muchos años. Interior acogedor con un fuego rugiente y personal muy agradable. Nuestros platos de comida, pato y pollo estaban por encima de lo normal pub grub estándar, aunque sentimos que los precios eran bastante altos. El aparcamiento gratuito en el terreno era una buena ventaja.

Conduje desde Crowne Plaza para la cena del viernes por la noche. Llegamos unos minutos antes así que tomamos una copa en el bar. El personal parecía muy presionado a pesar de que había muchas mesas vacantes. Entrantes: gambas de langostinos, alitas de pollo eran buenas. Gambas servidas en pan de masa madre con guarnición de ensalada en lugar de la presentación tradicional. Buen dip de queso azul con alas. Red: Dal con patatas bombay, Dal era agradable pero las patatas eran solo patatas regulares cubos no patatas bombay. Servido con pan de pita mal cocido (imagínese - ¿por qué no pan naan? ) Hamburguesa con papas fritas - todo bueno Curry verde tailandés - simplemente horrible, resbaladizo con aceite y de nuevo servido con el extraño pan de pita. Nos dejaron sentados al menos 45 minutos después de terminar la red a pesar de tratar de llamar la atención del personal. Postre: pudín de toffee pegajoso casero, muy bueno, porción enorme, gran salsa. Lo más destacado de la comida. Proyecto de ley 93 con aguas minerales, té y café. Ambiente acogedor, cálido. El servicio y el menú carece de consistencia.

Great food & service! Will definitely be back.

Lovely lunch in the restaurant. Good parking and efficient staff.

Bernard pulls the best pint of Guiness in the country 🫡

Not impressed at all. I used to go to Bobs when Jackie owned the place. It’s gone downhill since. I was with a large party of about 18 or so last night and my food didn’t arrive. When I brought this to the attention of the staff my meal was served shortly after. It was clearly knocked up in an hurry and not at all like my partners who had the same meal. Mine was runny, had zero flavour, had little to no dressing and was inedible. In fact it was so awful that I returned it and refused another meal. To make matters even worse, my wife was driving and was drinking alcohol free beer. Her first drink was zero alcohol but the second drink was infact beer, 5% alcohol. Thankfully she noticed this and didn’t drink it. This is a REALLY bad mistake, this annoyed me even more than the piss poor excuse of a meal. Imagine sitting thinking you are being a responsible citizen, then being stopped by the police, getting done for drink driving and loosing your home, all as a result of someone not paying attention. Clearly everyone makes mistakes, but this is not good. I would suggest they maybe keep the alcohol free beer in a separate fridge so mistakes like this don’t happen again. Next Christmas we will all be going somewhere else.

We were only visiting the pub for a drink It is a beautiful country establishment

Our party all ordered same main, 4 starters to. 3 starters arrived and 4th was forgotten about, had to prompt. Other diners had got same meal as us , as it was being served I watched the plates to see what was on them, they were full. Ours arrived and meal was much smaller portion. Was previously told no Yorkshire pudding left for us but they must have run out of veg to as all we got was 2 small slices of carrot and 1 slice parsnip. My son had same meal week b4 and was served cauliflower cheese and broccoli as well and so did dinners I watched being served as I waited. Very disappointed. Won't be back

Too many skeletons and witches . Terrifying for little kids😱!

Such an incredible and wholesome Pub. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing place, staff are very helpful and friendly food especially the Sunday roast is out of this world

Food was good, but a small bowl of plain vegetable soup costing the same price as as Prawn linguine or chicken wings is a lot on the Sunday menu.

La comida no era buena y para ser honesto no han tenido una buena comida desde agosto de 2023. Tenía el pez monje a finales de junio y lo encontró no comestible. Tomó un filete de solomillo el 7 de septiembre y no era comestible también lo hizo difícil. Ambiente y servicio bueno pero bueno terrible.

Great Guinness and lovely beer garden and out side spaces.

Después de un día algo ocupado, decidí cenar en Bob Stewarts, ya que nuestra última visita fue muchos años antes. La apariencia exterior se ve muy bien con su viejo carácter que se muestra a través. El diseño interior y la decoración eran igualmente buenos. La bienvenida del personal también coincide. Nos sorprendió ver el restaurante bastante vacío y asumimos que nos servirían comida razonablemente rápido. Después de haber estado sentados en la habitación principal, todos acordamos que las luces de la pared y el techo eran demasiado bajas y tendrían que ser más brillantes si fuéramos a ver nuestra comida. Después de que se sirven bebidas, la experiencia gastronómica se vuelve menos agradable. Pasaron 20 minutos (al menos) hasta que llegó nuestra comida. La cena de Lamb Rump fue buena, aunque los cortes más gruesos de carne estaban poco cocinados (y sin comer). Las hamburguesas de pollo Piri Piri se ennegrecieron con sersoning y sobre - cocido (seco y duro). El Brioche Bap un poco pequeño, la Hoja del Cohete (era escasa y) welted y la Adornación de Cebolla Roja inexistente. Las Skinny Fries (congeladas) también estaban enormemente sazonadas con sal. Desgraciadamente una experiencia gastronómica muy decepcionante después de esperar una mucho más positiva. Lamentablemente esto no me animaría a volver basado en el precio y la calidad de la comida.

I absolutely love this place. Great food and a friendly atmosphere with plenty of parking.

Great food friendly staff all in all a pleasurable experience

Had fish and chips, really nice, but the dessert was so yummy. Staff were very friendly and effecient. Wouls definitely go back.

Second time visiting here in the last couple of months, and it's really not bad at all. Only criticism is that the menu could be more varied. The beef croquettes for starter are great, and I had the madras chicken curry which was nice, and a steak sandwich the second time , this was also great. Will be back again

Good food, pleasant friendly staff.

Incredible food and lovely old decor

Awesome food. Brilliant atmosphere. Loved everything!

Great little beer garden. We walked from Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park

Food was absolutely beautiful in this place and the service was fantastic. Went for the 3 course Sunday roast and did not disappoint.

Great service and lovely food as usual.

Just discovered the new beer Garden, perfect for families of young kids. Pizza, wings, beer for the grown ups and games for the kids. Can't wait to go back

Lovely pub, nice food. Could do with a nice IPA on draught.

Por lo general, nos encanta este pequeño lugar para la buena comida del pub y, por lo general, un buen servicio. Sin embargo, fuimos a una celebración post boda con 19 familiares y amigos esta semana. Durante el almuerzo una camarera me tiró un trago completo por la espalda y la mitad inferior, empapándome. Salté en shock para correr al baño en un intento de secarme. Dicha camarera nunca me siguió una vez para ver si estaba bien, para ofrecer toallas, o para ofrecer cualquier nivel de ayuda de cortesía para secar el vestido empapado. No hubo ninguna investigación si la prenda estaba dañada (era un vestido nuevo) o cualquier nivel de preocupación. Cuando regresé a mi mesa, la silla empapada estaba todavía en la mesa que tuve que quitarme. Me dio una pena débil unos minutos más tarde, pero de nuevo, no hay preocupación o servicio al cliente para ver si estaba bien o incluso cómodo sentado en un vestido empapado (no lo estaba! ). Si bien los accidentes pueden y suceden, me horrorizó esta dicha camareras falta de preocupación o servicio al cliente. Todo el mundo lo notó también - que waw una experiencia abismal y fuera de poner a todos en la habitación para un regreso a este restaurante basado en la mala experiencia y el servicio recibido!

Lovely quirky place, food good and plenty of it. Great outdoor beer garden at the back and a few picnic tables around outside for the smokers.

Yesterday about 20 of us booked a couple of tables intending to chill out after our daughters wedding the day before, we were looked after by a couple of waitresses, a blonde lady was very smiley and nice as is expected in the hospitality business but the other lady was the opposite, rushing and a face on her like a Lurgan spade, this lady bumped in our daughter with a tray drinks soaking the back of her dress, we all make mistakes but it's how it's handled after words, "sorry about that" and that's were it ended, I could suggest a number of things that could of plightly helped the situation but this lady went on about her business as if nothing happened! This is the first time I've ever wrote a negative review in my life, I don't blame the whole establishment for the errors of one person. Thank you. 16.07. 2024

The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely. We both had the beer battered fish and chips, and it exceeded expectations. The fish was cooked perfectly (taste of the sea) encased in a crunchy light local beer batter and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The portions were substantial, and we couldn't finish everything. Not for want of trying. A big shout out to the service team. All of them (behind the bar, front of house and kitchen) were very friendly and made us feel right at home. Quick, efficient and so kind to the dog - attentive without being pushy. The atmosphere was relaxed. The pub is decorated in a traditional style but with a sense of humour (an old security gate now a trellis for plants), and it has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Check the beer garden out back, perfect for a sunny day, and welcoming to dogs on a lead. Also substantial parking at the back. Overall, we had a lovely experience at Bob Stewart's. The food was perfect, the service team were exceptional, and the atmosphere was lovely. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great pub meal in Belfast. The big surprise was getting the bill settled by Paul the owner. We don't know him but he made our day. Thanks from the couple (two fish) with the deaf border collie.

Exceptional I can’t believe this was our first time at this lovely bar/restaurant. It’s some h character and history all over the building with it being the oldest pub in Belfast. But aside from the venue itself the staff and food was absolutely amazing. Their beer garden is fantastic with lots for kids to play with also. We will definitely be back

Very expensive for drinks compared to other places. Nice setup in the beer garden.

Probablemente más de un año desde la última vez que cené en Bob's. Después de revisar las críticas, me perturbó el número de menos favorables recientes, pero tengo que decir honestamente que no podía perder la experiencia con seis de nosotros para el almuerzo del domingo. La comida era deliciosa - el mío era el solomillo de carne, que era un tamaño generoso, cocinado perfectamente y muy poca grasa. El personal era profesional y atento, pero no dominante. Ciertamente no eran ni extravagantes ni demasiado familiares (como en algunos otros establecimientos). Desde la última vez, parece que se ha extendido a la izquierda a medida que se llega con un considerable "jardín de cerveza" cubierto al aire libre. Nunca doy cinco estrellas, ya que siempre busco la desventaja: mi única queja menor en este caso (porque soy un avaro) es el costo @ £ 27 por dos platos, pero tengo que decir con el solomillo, probablemente fue bastante decente!

We had Sunday lunch here this week and I'm still thinking about the roast lamb. All the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Sticky toffee pudding and raspberry frangipane desserts were delicious. Lovely staff, great atmosphere. It was busy so we were glad we booked online. Can't wait to go back.

Had a lovely lunch. Lovely place. Food was great and large portions . Staff Very pleasant

Realmente decepcionante. Una hermosa noche de verano, un lugar soleado en la parte trasera, pero la mayor parte del espacio es ahora un aparcamiento. Las mesas exteriores están al lado de la transitada carretera. Nos dijeron que la comida no se podía servir fuera, lo que era increíble, para ser honesto. Tuvimos que sentarnos dentro, en un espacio oscuro. Comida muy mediocre. Cristales sucios. No volveré.

What was once an outstanding country gastro pub has been ruined by the new owners. The previous publican had spent years establishing a proper relaxing pub with a fantastic athmosphere and the transformation now is heartbreaking. It is an overpriced place for the trendy set. The staff are condesending, the drink and food is expensive, the toilets are dirty, there's prams and children in the bar...... I could go on. Surfice to say, sadly we won't be back.

Good food & service. Nice outdoor area now as well where you can get pizza & loaded fries. Minus point that it was previously dog friendly however no longer is

First time going in here today and it was unreal fish and chips were beautiful with lovely staff..will defo be back

Food was amazing and cocktails too. Lovely beer garden 👌.

Food was lovely, lovely and cosy old fashioned pub definitely will be back.

Lovely staff and surprisingly tasty food. Sunday lunch perhaps a touch expensive, but everything is these days and the portions for the chicken lunch were very generous...

Had Caesar salad, and fish and chips both were lovely, defo recommend

Went in for Sunday lunch and was really disappointed with it. It wasn’t cheap so definitely expected better quality. Meat was too tough could barely cut it, mash too salty and gravy had no taste. Not often I leave a review but feel like it was a waste of money. Pub is nice for a pint but wouldn’t be back for food

Superb meal deal. This place is well worth a visit. Great food, great vake and professional courteous staff

Called in for lunch today as we were passing my wife and grandson we both had the scampi and chips , not good … scampi was small and chips full of crispy end bits not chips. We have been here a few times together and as a family never cheap but the food was good …… not this lunch time not sure why it was so poor but didn’t stay for desert . I think will try somewhere else for a while.

Had Sunday lunch in April 24. Food was very tasty and hot, large portions. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. The bar is warm with nice music and great atmosphere.

Booked a table for Saturday afternoon. We were shown to a table in the main bar area not the restaurant. Had to call a waitress after 5 minutes to order a drink, which I ordered a small wine and they charged me for a large. I chose the Madras curry which looked and tasted like a mild curry soup, it was terrible. We were seated into the main bar at the window overlooking a small outdoor area at the front and people seemed curious about what we were eating. Also being such a great day people seemed to be out in large numbers, thinking the beer garden was open but it is not. With that they were passing through the bar to get to the sports bar and past our table. They were so close to our table I had to move my glass as it was nearly knocked over. Then when there were no seats or standing room in sports bar back they came again. One man even asked what I was eating and said he had never had a Madras that looked like that. Would not recommend this bar/ restaurant to anyone.

This is the second time I've gone with my family to have dinner at this pub, great place, great staff and the food is really delicious, but there aren't many vegan options and the second time we went, the only vegan option was very spicy, unfortunately I couldn't eat it .

We had an absolutely delicious lunch for two. The ervice was very friendly and the restaurant was cosy with lots of character.

We just popped in for a pint of Guinness and a bite of lunch. I has the Steak and Guinness pie which was absolutely scrumptious. Served with mashed potato, carrot, parsnip and broccoli for £13, it was amazing value.

Beautiful bar let down by terrible food. Worst meal I've had in a long time and it's far from cheap. Such a shame.

Great place for a bite to eat. The food was very tasty. Nice old building with plenty of old items to give you a look at what it would have been like many years ago. Friendly staff and quick service. There is a restaurant or you can go into the bar for a drink.

Amazing food, excellent service. Nice n toasty warm while we dined. Recommended

Amazing lunch recommend trying it as soon as possible!!!

Staff outstanding, and a wee gem of a place.

Really good food and atmosphere. Thankfully children are allowed now. Will be back.

Best chicken burger Ive ever eaten. Flame grilled and had a tiny hint of spice to it, just the way I like it The chips were crispy and a plenty. The atmosphere was that of an old Irish pub (400 year old) which gives it a very cosy feel and the staff were super friendly. We will be back soon to try more of the menu. Booking recommended.

Used to love this place but sadly no longer dog friendly. Unfortunately won’t be back due to this as was always the perfect place to visit after a walk

1st time here fantastic food with great portions and at a reasonable price.

Delicious food. Lovely place to chill after a long walk. Homely fire. Staff really helpful and friendly.

First visit fabulous food great atmosphere definitely go again

The most basic of greasy Pub Grub at restaurant prices. Amazed at the positive reviews.

Teach tábhairne iontach ar fad. Chaith muid an oíche ag diúgadh piontaí!

expensive. Didn't like our experience, won't be back in a hurry.

Ordered soup and sandwich. Soup was freezing sandwich too spicy to eat ordered desert never received it. Not even an apology can I heat your soup. Sorry your sandwich too spicy spent £30 had to get lunch somewhere else. So disappointed

Very friendly, always full of life, every corner is its own snug, and there's a fire. Can't get better. The whole experience is much improved now after a change in management!

Nice afternoon spent there Food was good and good service

Great place food brilliant easy parking. Recommended mid week not so busy you can hear your conversation!

Very disappointed and annoyed, as tonight I walked my dog 45 minutes and decided to call in for a pint before going home. As I sat down in the small front bar (no food was being served) a member of staff approached me and told me I had to sit outside as they are no longer dog friendly. I have had my dog and been with other friends and family in the bar with our dogs on several occasions and never had anything said. As a local resident I am very disappointed with this experience and won't be back.

Old style country pub/ restaurant. Very welcoming. Great food and service.

Second time here! Amazing old pub with great atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonably priced and lovely home cooked food! A new favourite

Limited menu and food and drink were on the expensive side very good service and cosy atmosphere

Nice food....long wait....noisy atmosphere...quite expensive for basically what is pub grub but quality is good and it has history.

I actually really wanted to love my visit to Bob's, as it's almost my local. Been before and eaten inside and attended events outside, but this is my first review. The food, nachos then steak sandwich, were grand but nowhere near the best I've had recently. The nachos were actually good, but the steak sandwich was a disappointment. Comes with a weird onion relish and the actual cut of meat wasn't great compared to similarly priced meals around Lisburn/Hillsborough/Belfast. The highlight was the chips which were great, added a portion of garlic butter which also made them even better - but should be included in the price but wasn't. Will I be back? Probably not, which is really disappointing.

A great Guinness food was as good

Great food and vibes. Had the fish and it was well cooked, my cousin had the roast and we cleared our plates. 2 courses for £25 + drinks

Amazing food and service. If you’re driving, go for the Guinness 0.0, it is really good. There’s a special menu at lunch with good prices. The sausage with mashed potatoes is quite delicious.

Great food, cold beer, friendly service

Veggie option is poor Service is slow Other than that what can I say

Quaint, characterful, and good food at fair prices. It's a very old pub, out of town, and with free parking.

Lovely place good food and good place.

Great food and friendly staff. It's great to be able to go here now that children are welcome. The food is excellent

Crackin wee spot. 400 years old. Oldest pub in Belfast. My first time in it. We went to the steak night on a Tuesday. Have to say was well impressed with everything. Food service atmosphere. I was expecting it to be a wee bit snobby n we were just down from doing divis mountain so weren't exactly dressed to impress lol. Was very relaxed and welcoming. Maybe not the cheapest but not overly expensive and you really do get what you pay for in here. Highly recommend

A place worth visiting service was excellent the staff were pleasant and paid attention to their tables. The food was amazing party of 6 and 2 kiddies and everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend here

A fantastic Sunday lunch, the best banoffee I have ever had!

Loved it. Nice wee pub. Lovely food. Will be back. Edit- came back. Even better. New favourite place to eat. Further edit - best steak I've had

Nice place for food and drinks with live music and outdoor beer garden
