Rockies Sports Bar in Belfast

La cantidad de historia del hockey sobre hielo, así como el reconocimiento local de hockey sobre hielo, es asombrosa. Si estás buscando una pinta, este lugar es grandioso, pero si buscas un "portón trasero" para un juego de los Gigantes de Belfast, ¡debes ir! Excelente personal, camisetas sin fin, boletos y otros recuerdos de hockey para ponerlo en su lugar. Mi única queja es que no hay Labatt detrás del bar, pero no podemos tenerlo todo.

un miembro del personal del bar era totalmente odioso para la compañía en la que estaba. Sí, estaba despejando el tiempo. . pero todos habíamos pagado por una ronda costosa. Pero fueron tratados como ganado a pedido para terminar. . Un pequeño hitler decidió que estaba a cargo y con vehemencia nos dijo que era su casa. . . hable con su personal rockies. . . Si no fuera por los asistentes al concierto, este pequeño pedazo de limo no tendría trabajo. . . nunca estaré allí de nuevo .

Love the decor, all the ice hockey shirts makes it feel like a proper sports bar. Only downside was the panthers shirt hanging next to our arch rivals shirt! (Joking - good they are both represented). Definitely visit if you are into the ice hockey.

Siempre ven aquí cuando los gigantes juegan un gran bar con un gran personal, un gran bar, la mezcla con los fanáticos ausentes y un poco de diversión con el gran Jim. en todos lados

Teniendo en cuenta que esto pretende ser un bar deportivo, le falta mucho ambiente. Esperaba un televisor de pantalla grande con algún tipo de deporte encendido. En cambio, había música de baile y el lugar estaba absolutamente helado. Incluso el personal detrás de la barra estaba tirando de sus rebecas apretadas alrededor de ellos y temblando. Está bien si tienes que matar algún tiempo antes de un concierto, supongo, pero aparte de eso, no consideraría ir de nuevo.

Llamamos a Rockies para tomar una copa después de estar en la arena para esperar a que la cola del taxi se extinga. Nos recibió un chico amigable en la puerta (al leer los comentarios anteriores, este parece ser el propietario, que es un buen toque). La chica que nos servía era agradable y accesible. El único problema fue que el bar sólo era efectivo. No estoy seguro si esto es todo el tiempo o si las máquinas no funcionaron esa noche. Tuve la suerte de haber retirado dinero anteriormente para pagar el taxi. El lugar está lleno de objetos interesantes y mucho que ver. Tal vez podría ser un poco de renovación del piso y las instalaciones, ya que no creo que haya cambiado en todos los años que ha estado allí. Una buena selección de bebidas ya un precio razonable. Definitivamente un lugar para tomar una copa antes o después de un concierto. No esperaba mucho de los baños, ya que era un bar deportivo, pero me sorprendió gratamente. Parecían limpios y olían a fresco. Había un grupo de hombres muy borrachos que debían haber hecho un comentario grosero a la camarera que nos había servido. Ella se manejó muy bien y rápidamente bajaron.En general, es un buen lugar para tomar una copa o dos, pero probablemente no en un lugar donde pasaría toda la noche

Qué chiste de un bar deportivo. . Ten toda la menrobelia para los diferentes deportes. . . Fuimos a ver la NFL antes del concierto de U 2 y el barman nos dijo que solo tenían deporte BT. . .

Great place on a game night. Great atmosphere and good music. My only issue is that they do not take card. I know there is an ATM outside it, but I do not like carrying cash in crowds.

Plenty of ice hockey memorabilia here to keep fans interested before the game. Good service and a good choice of beers and other drinks. Friendly staff

Called in for a drink on Sunday lunchtime the beer was good and the bar is full of sports memorabilia.

Fantastic bar, owner very friendly, ex hockey player and has plenty of memorabilia from UK and worldwide. Nice atmosphere

Went to Rockies for some pre- and post-game drinks and would recommend for any hockey fan. Loads of memorabilia both British and across the pond, lovely friendly owner (who was on the door when we went) and reasonable drinks prices.

Mi esposa y yo fuimos a Rockies para unos tragos. Por desgracia, el Belfast Giants no estaban jugando esa noche, pero en su lugar, nos dieron un tour de lo que voy a llamar un museo bien decorada y hall de la fama de los deportes, por el propietario, Jim Graves. Ahora he estado en muchos bares donde ponen un montón de deportes cosas en la pared, pero en Rockies, todo ha sido bien pensado y bastante única. Es muy bien vale la pena visitar.

Nos dirigimos al bar antes de un partido de los gigantes Rockies para una copa, el lugar estaba muy concurrido, con los aficionados al hockey, muchos de los cuales parecía expatriados canadienses y americanos. La gente era amable y había un buen ambiente. El bar es bastante guay para cualquier fanático de los deportes, ya que tienen un montón de objetos en las paredes y colgando del techo, incluyendo hockey sobre hielo, fútbol, GAA, Rugby, fútbol americano, fútbol australiano y camisas.

I have been coming to the Rockies since 2009 when I first started going to see the Belfast Giants. It is a great place for pre and post match drinks and always has a great atmosphere, is a good place to watch sport and has an excellent selection of beers. The owner is always at the door to greet the customers, you don't see this anyehere else in Belfast. As always I am looking forward to my next visit.

Good spot to get caught up in the atmosphere of a pending hockey match! Average prices for drinks which is good considering it's in a complex.

I've never been made feel so unwelcome in my life myself my daughter and friend went in tonight to have a drink before cinema the bar man was so rude he didn't want to serve us a drink cause he said he was closing when the game was over which he pointed to TV . We asked was there any were else he said we could have a drink but had a half hour to drink it we said that was fine so he was so rude serving us didn't even say thank you we were made so uncomfortable he went round turning everything off turned 4 other people away BAD Customer service only we had paid for our drink we would have walked out. Will never be back sooo bad manners and worse customer service maybe send that barman to a world host training day he could learn so much. Worst place ever

Llegó aquí después de vagar alrededor del estadio odyssey en nuestra visita a Titanic Quarter. Estaba muy tranquilo en el momento, pero me imagino que se llena de gente en la noche o en días de eventos.

Yo no haría cerca del lugar si tienes movilidad reducida, pero no por muletas o hobbling una silla de ruedas. Intenté usar el retrete en los principales los aseos, pero, por desgracia, uno estaba roto, el otro no tenía papel higiénico. Así que usé el aseo para discapacitados.

Se vuelve muy concurrido en la noche de hockey, así que bien vale la pena visitar durante el día o la noche de hockey ninguno.

Sports Bar agradable, con un montón de objetos interesantes y buena selección de bebidas.

Rockies is primarily a sports bar an has a lot of memorabilia in it which is good if you follow sports (mostly ice hockey). We have had some great nights in Rockies over the years and the owner and staff are always friendly. Drinks are averagely pricedThe only downside I would say is that the place is starting to look shabby and could do with some renovation to make it less dreary - especially as there are lots and lots and lots of other places to drink in the city,

Came over for the Storm vs Giants game and came to Rockies everyday of the trip. Fantastic welcome and atmosphere, guaranteed night of fun! Loads of cool sports memorabilia will definitely be making the trip back over on our next away game.

Went to the Latest Giant's v Storm Game and despite the result I thought I'd sample a few beers. Asked the locals what was good, told to try Molson Canadian, the beer was refreshing and the service was excellent ( mainland UK bars take note ) the owner greeted all the fans / customers, but what a fantastic sports bar ! If you're in Belfast then I'd suggest you try this Bar , you won't be disappointed.

We came across to watch the Belfast Giants ice hockey and had to come and see this place after all we'd heard about it. We were greeted at the door by the owner a really nice man called Jim, who later in the evening gave us a tour of all the shirts and memorabilia the place is absolutely full of . What a fantastic place great staff, it was even better than expected can't wait to come back again . If your a ice hockey fan you should definitely go and see this place and meet jim and his staff.

We visit every time we come across for an ice hockey game. Love looking at all the hockey memorabilia that is on show.Enjoy a few drinks before and after a game if we are staying over.

Absolutely loved this place! Great to have so much hockey stuff in this be place. Awesome atmosphere for a winning side too. Only downside is it does smell of beer a bit - we were lucky that we'd already had enough to ignore it

I came here with my partner on a recent visit to Belfast. He wanted to watch the football so we picked this bar as we had been to the titanic museum in the morning. It's a cool bar with lots of interesting memorabilia and different beers.Downsides are it's out of town and we would have loved some good pub food during the game in place of the other places on offer in the centre.

Right next to the rink so very handy for a drink before and after a Giants hockey game. Nice crowd and very good atmosphere. My Irish friends were amazed by the decor and sports paraphernalia, not just hockey but GAA as well. Visitors could spend hours looking at all of the displays and it is very well presented, interesting and no just a big mish-mash. Being Canadian myself I felt it was a 100% authentic Canadian sports bar Owner is very friendly and he was greeting patrons at the door. He obviously has a lot of pride in Rockies and it shows. Personal mementos of military significance are amongst the sports displays and he kindly showed us around a bit. I was so impressed when I told him my home town in Canada and he knew the name of my city's hockey team and where the jersey was hanging. I will definitely return any time I'm in Belfast.

Was here on Saturday from around 14:00 to 18:00 before the UFC and had a great time. Firstly Canadian on tap ! Noticed the Steam whistle sign, but alas you cannot have everything. Myself and four friends spent an enjoyable afternoon here and to top it off I met Jim. He will probably remember my wife Kerry who was the Giants first season ticket holder and whilst she was not there we chatted about Colin Ryder (shirt in review) and generally had a good time. He was amazing and the bar a place we will come back to. All in all a great visit, great beer and great company!

Brought my wife here for a quick drink and ended up staying for a few!! Great sports memorabilia and covers all sports but mainly ice hockey. Has a lovely World War display-worth a visit.

Rockies is the best place for all hockey fans. An amazing sports bar with something to please any sports fan. A lovely greeting by the owner himself, Jim, who couldn't have showed any more time, passion and joy in showing us around. I have never met someone so welcoming and can honestly say that we were amazed the second we walked in. Jim saw that I was wearing a Maple Leafs top and then continued to show me the shirt at the back of the bar, which had the same player, Wade Belak, on the jersey as was on the jersey I was wearing. Hockey memorabilia everywhere including the jersey of the wonderful Jim himself when he played for Nottingham Panthers and various other teams. I felt truly honoured to have shared so many of Jim's hockey tales and for him to have taken so much time to show us all something that related to the teams we support and love. Even as founder of the Giants, Jim showed passion and pride in every team and every piece he showcased. It was truly delightful and very refreshing to see such a lovely team working together to create a happy atmosphere for all customers. 6 hours later and we still didn't want to leave! We'd live here if we could! Thanks, Jim and the team at Rockies! You made our stay that little bit more memorable!

In a great location and set up as a sports bar with nice memorabilia. Place is normally empty with no atmosphere or packed when events on in SSE Arena with long waits to be served. Place needs a good clean, smells like stale beer on a good day.

Been here a few times before concerts ect & have to say the drinks are ice cold & staff are friendly..it seems to attract a good crowd so that speaks for itself

Great surroundingame...jerseys hang in here for every major sports team in Canada as well as hockey jerseys and memorabilia from all NHL Teams...some from European, U.S., Junior Sports items. A great Private WW1 Museum worth a visit to see. They pour a great pint here too. One day I would love to spend an evening after a Belfast Giants Game.

If your a sporty person this is an excellent visit - where many sports fans like the Belfast Giants. Loved and enjoyed this average by gorgeous Bar.

Wer ein Spiel der Belfast Giants besucht, sollte vorher und/oder hinterher hier einkehren. Zum einen ist die Auswahl an Getränken hier größer (und auch günstiger) als in der benachbarten SSE Arena, zum anderen kommt man hier auch besser mit einheimischen Fans in Kontakt. Immer anwesend ist das nette Personal! ;)...und die gigantische Trikotsammlung an der Decke ist was zum stöbern... ;)

Always go to Rockies before Ice hockey games. great craic with staff and other people in bar. great place for ice hockey fans to meet before games

Before I start have to say that a act was on at the Odyssey arena Staying in the Titanic quarter had seen this bar on website when got there was packed had to fight to the bar RIPOFF £4.40 for pint in a PLASTIC GLASS Thought give another go the next day Wednesday SHUT !!!!!!!!!!!

this is a great place i would even say its the best place to go to in Odyssey Pavillion staff are very good and the service is great as well very well priced for drinks as well

U get welcomed at at the door by the owner Jim on event nites.dont see this in many other bars in Belfast.

Great beer selection...games...lots of things to look at and people watch. Would definately go back.

Visited this bar for a drink or two before going to see a concert in the arena next door.There was a friendly welcome at the door on arrival and the bar was busy with a really feel good atmosphere. the music was a great mix and was at a decent sound level so you could actually hear it which i enjoy!! Loads of sports memorabilia to look at and as we left we were thanked for coming.Very pleasant a much nicer place to have a drink before any show rather than standing in corridors at the venue.Will definately return here again.!!

Great sports bar - one of my favourites. Nice atmosphere after ice hockey games at the SSE, and an awesome display of hockey jerseys hanging from the walls and ceiling.

Was absolutely dead when we got in and the drink was far too expensive, but the staff made up for this, the girl behind the bar was so friendly she made the bar nice.

We called in on the way pas the Odyssey bt it was quite quiet thought it was early in the evening. Staff were friendly

Every year we go to Belfast to support the Nottingham panthers. there is always a good atmosphere as when we clinched the league title three years ago. I have always seen jim on the door greeting supporters of both teams so this year me and my brother introduced ourselves to him . We found him a great bloke and is so proud of the bar witch he calls his house. He took time also to show us around some of his memrobilla will say hello again when we see you jim all the best chris andy

Anyone who has visited a sports bar in North America and enjoyed the atmosphere?Well, if and when you are in Belfast and want to experience a piece of that again, then this is the place to be! Exclusive Canadian beer on tap and and extensive range in addition to that, an amazing amount of sports memorabilia to boot.Great bar staff and a friendly welcome... Check it out!

When Braehead Clan play the Giants, Rockies bar is a first last and often only stop for the fans. Great atoms and incredible hockey memorabilia on the wall (including a v.rare tartan Clan St. Andrew's day special jersey).Very friendly and welcoming staff and good Canadian beer available!

What an amazing place. If you Arron Belfast you really have to visit this place, Jim is so welcoming and gives a tour of his bar, which you really have to do!

Rockies.... left me and my friends speechless. We are manchester storm fans visiting for a trip up north and Jim could not have been more accomadation. Took us on a tour, made us feel at home and allowed us to order a takeaway so we could stay and drink. We all felt so welcome and we know our team and our gm absolutely love the place aswell!Thankyou Jim. We fell in love with you and your bar. Until next time...Love the storm fans

This place is like no other bar in Belfast - Total sports theme and not full of trouble makers. Just a sports fan bar, with sports decor and people out having a good time and friendly banter.TIP: Call before a Giants or After a giants game - it's great craic!

This bar is a hidden gem in Belfast and a must see for all, especially Canadians and fanatical ice hockey fans. Just to state clearly this is NOT a restaurant however if you speak to Jim he is happy for you to bring food in while you enjoy a beer or two there.The bar gets really busy when big events are on in the SSE arena where the famous Belfast Giants play and the atmosphere is second to none on game night where both sets of fans go to before and after the game.During the day is quiet but provides a great opportunity to chat to Jim Graves the proprietor and ex hockey professional who was instrumental in establishing the Belfast Giants. Jim always states to customers that once you step into his establishment he always says "welcome to my house" .He takes great pride in the hockey jerseys he has collected over the years and whaohhhhh what a collection all hanging up, incredible display. He has a fantastic World War 1 exhibition which he displayed last summer which was incredible, it should be appearing again contact him for more details.I love this place its the best. Keep up the great work Jim and all your staff I'll be back soon.

I'm in this place before and after every Belfast Giants game. Great music, great craic and reasonable prices. It's the best fun you'll have after a hockey game, guaranteed!

Absolutely love this bar - the staff are always so friendly and the atmosphere is amazing. I saw a comment on here about it being a man's bar but as a girl I have to say I have never felt that vibe. It's a great place for before and after a gig or a hockey game! The owner - Jim - is always around as well to offer up fabulous anecdotes on the huge range of hockey paraphernalia on display.

Amazing place we always come in here on away trips. Bar staff are friendly. It is filled to the rafters with sports memorabilia from all over the world.

I don't normally like being too warm in places and don't normally complain about being cold but this place was freezing! The bar staff were even wearing their coats! Probably not a bad bar to watch sports in but I wouldn't venture here on purpose unless I had to. We just used it as a meeting point for a couple of drinks before going to the cinema! It wasn't the most comfortable of bars either. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon.

Rockies is co-owned by a Canadian former ice hockey player, having settled and playing in the UK he opened the bar after retiring. The walls and rafters are adorned with memorabilia from most sports but predominantly ice hockey. There are hundreds of jerseys from leagues around the globe.It's a great place to visit especially post game as it is within the SSE Odyssey Arena. The atmosphere was great with both home and away fans mingling.Whether you're a sports fan or not, it's well worth a visit. The Arena complex hosts a cinema, bowling alley and several restaurants.

Went with my girlfriend here as its close to our new apartment. It was a nice bar for a man lol as my girlfriend didnt like it because it looked a bit run down. Being a sports bar this didnt bother me in the slightest and bar man and barmaid where helpful when I asked about boxing being played on their tvs. Would def go back. They do nice pints of magners and other reviews say its overpriced but for its good location this is ok. It would be good if they did a midweek drinks offer tho

This is an awesome canadian sports bar come on down and see the great display off sports jerseys hanging in our bar and be greated with a warm welcome by the rockies team off staff

Great Canadian hospitality with Great atmosphere before and after a game or before and after a gig.With Many shirts/items from all over the world and WW1 exhibition

Complete embarrassment of a Belfast bar in a superb location. Came in for a drink whilst waiting on a taxi after show in odyssey - bar staff in there coats serving drinks whilst yawning didn't give a great impression- the place is soo run down with sticky tape holding seats together, no decent seating and lacking in any atmosphere - couldn't wait for the taxi to come!

The Rockies Sports Bar is one of the best bars you can go to when you visit Belfast. The drinks are affordable and it has an nice look. The owner Jim is a very nice person to talk to.

We got there apparently not long after the fans had all gone to the arena for the match! Empty of customers and thumpingly loud music drove us out after a quick survey of the bar taps (nothing to attract unless you like lager, it seemed) and a fairly indifferent reception by the young staff. They were plainly relaxing after the pre-match rush. We quickly moved on. Not what we expected after the reports I'd seen - must be getting old!

If you are expecting a top notch wine bar, take a step back, get a taxi and head to the city. Rockies Sports Bar is Sports Bars as how they should be, wall to wall jerseys from GAA, Football and obviously Ice Hockey. A wall of teams who have visited Belfast and a wall of Belfast born stars. (Surely we can update this with some of our newest sports stars!Jim the owner takes his time to explain the history of each part of the collection to and no question goes unanswered! Still he takes a very hands on approach with the business from working the door to pulling the pints. A nicer tour guy to this treasure chest of sports gear you couldn't met!Mid-week the place is a bit quieter but if you happen to arrive on an ice hockey game day you'll see a completely different side to this, many a sing song before and after the game have taken place and many a pint drank in joy or to drown the sorrows.

this place should be in canada! Its collection of sports no matter what they are is extreme! you have to experience it for yourself! it will blow your socks off and Jim Graves the owner is the nicest guy you will ever meet! he also has opened up a ww1 section with some amazing displays of things he has collected and displayed for everyone to see!

First drink of the night and they over charged my partner £10 and didn't rectify the problem, only argued that it didn't happen. Disgrace. Money handling is terrible and customer service is worse. That was the first and last drink my partner and I will ever have in that place. Also, it is dirty and it really isn't pleasing to the eye at all.

A great sports themed bar, only take cash but there is a cash machine just outside the Odyssey, also they don't serve food, but for a few drinks it's fine.Staff are always friendly, a great place for pre or post event drinks!!

did not actually get this place because it looks rearly good but we were there for four days and it only opened once a bit disappointing rearly as we went home that day

At Odyssey for concert and decided to call in while waiting. Staff behind bar were literally lined up waiting to serve customers and all looked as if they couldn't be bothered. maybe better at weekend but certainly not during the week!

Had to wait a bit to get a seat but ok when we got there . Food was good massive portions struggled to eat it all burger was huge onion rings were very tasty a bit expensive but you are at a tourist attraction

This was a tough review for me because as a hockey fan I really wanted to love this place. On the approach it looked great filled with hockey fans as we got ready for a game in the arena, As you enter you see sports tops most of them hockey and everything look great. That's where it all went wrong as a rather horrid smelly of damp fills the place then when I got to the bar I'm confronted by a barman complaining to me and whoever else would listen about how busy it was(while not actually serving anyone). When a barmaid commented they were slammed he just shrugged his shoulder and continued moaning. Once I eventually got served the beer was over priced and service poor as my change was pretty much flung at me. Overall a major let down it's all looks with no substance.

Hi BFM and lil madam went to Rockies for a wee tipple. Got speaking to Jim the boss who is from Edmonton and played ice hockey.His other claim to fame is he helped form the Giants in 2000.I also met Wayne who dresses up as a Mountie!!!!Odyssey2 Queens QuayBelfastBT3 9QQUnited Kingdom028 9046 7020http://www.rockiessportsbar.comIt's a great sports bar with a definite theme of ice hockey. It's very busy on hockey nights and concert nights. It's a gr8 place and Jim and Wayne are real cool guys!!!They will be doing a display of WW1 memorabilia in the New Year.I can't sign off with my usual Once again the BFM shares the food love!!! Ciao down now!!! Cos they don't do food!!!!

Great place to meet before and After an event at the Odyssey. Great place to Watch a Game live on 5 big Screens and a place just to look at all the sports morabilia.100s of items of sports memorabilia hand-signed by sporting legends. Clean and friendly

Went in for a drink before a concert and was met with a damp smell as I entered. Staff were unpleasant and drink was over priced. Also they served the beer in plastic glasses because they said it was a concert night! No atmosphere, place wasn't very clean and beer over priced. Won't be back!

It's worth popping in for the novelty value, though admittedly we were there in the afternoon and not during a game or when there were events on at the Odyssey. They tease you with a 'Steam Whistle' sign behind the bar, but don't serve it, so we just stuck with the Guinness, which was fine.It is a good spot for anyone who is really into ice hockey and doesn't get to Canada much - the memorabilia is amazing - and the general Canadian and global sports shirts collection is pretty outstanding too. I think that it is probably a good place to go for a quick pint before a film or show at the Odyssey, but otherwise, best to head into town.

They take cash only! They only have one type of white wine (Sauvignon Blanc). They do not have food! They do have a lot of soccer memorabilia and lots of interesting sports shirts, etc.

Rockies is amazing its a comfortable easy going sports bar you are greeted by the owner as you come in to the bar and large screen tv's always show the latest soccer or hockey match. Well worth a visit just to see all tge memorabilia.

This is a great bar, if your going to the cinema or concert and your too early nip in for a few drinks. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Decor is all sports, definitely be back

Went to the Titanic Museum and walked toward the hockey arena....across the street and found Rockies Sports Bar. Filled with hockey memorabilia....Irish hockey players that played for the NHL and many other awesome memorabilia. Owner....Jim...toured us around....he played jr.A hockey in Canada and then played in Europe. A must visit for a pint after viewing the Titanic Museum. All tour busses that host Canadians should stop here.Met with a few locals in the pub....had a great time....didn't want to leave!

This bar is the only one in the Titanic Quarter [apart from a few hotel bars], and I would not recommend it. Walking past, it looks like a lively spot, but go through the doors, and you'll see a different story. I went in a few times last week, as I was staying in a nearby hotel, and even though there was a cycle race going on, the place was dead. A few cyclists came in [some with their bikes] but there was no atmosphere. I thought maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I'm afraid not. The staff seemed very nice, but painful slow serving drinks, even though it was nearly empty. They don't do food, and there's no Wi-Fi. And heading back to my hotel on the Sunday night at 10pm, the bar was closed. It hasn't a lot going for it. Maybe when games or concerts are on in the Odyssey it's better craic, but somehow I doubt it. This area of Belfast needs a decent bar.
