    Basically a cafe, pump house with nice old pumps and a video, then a very big historic hole in the ground. This is worth doing is you want to complete the Titanic experience and fancy a long walk. The good news is that it's only three pounds and the dry dock itself it's impressive, but not much has been done with it other than a few signs. The staff in the café were bored and unenthusiastic. There are no lights at the attraction so don't come too late in the winter. As I would recommend doing it with HMS Caroline which is next to it and a very well presented interesting attraction.

    Seeing the scale of the dry dock really gives you a scale of how big the Titanic was. Shame the distillery who own the pump house and dock was still closed when we went so couldn't go around it.

    It's so interesting and curious place, the building outside has romantic, sea inspired architecture. Sadly is still closed we cannot go inside and visit. Why?

    Pretty long walk and kinda cool to do if you are enjoying all the other titanic stuff. Definitely brings it all in full circle. Pay extra for the little tram because it is FAR from the titanic experience.it is currently being remodeled so keep that in mind as well.

    The authentic experience. The pump house and dock focuses on the real feat of engineering and viewing the dry dock from within is almost overwhelming. Being able to touch the caisson gate is as close to touching Titanic as you can get. Friendly staff, great info boards and a bargain entry price (currently just £3ea) avoiding the crowds at the other 'Titanic' experience down the road. Well worth the walk.

    A fascinating piece of nautical history. The true birthplace of the Titanic, the most famous and infamous ship to have ever been built. A nice place to visit when walking along the river and an interesting spot to stop at when in Belfast.

    Absolutely disgraceful. This is closed . Phoned ahead and message said it was open for tours and food. Paid for parking. But arrived andplace shut down and HMS Caroline closed. We had brought a group of Australian visitors. Quite a number of visitors outside also disgusted. Not good for tourism.

    Very interesting place. Not really much to see in respect that the titanic was built in this huge dock. Nice to visit the actual birth place of the titanic

    Great blend (just like the whiskey) of the history of the place and the process of making the whiskey. Good delivery, lots of chance to chat and find out a bit more. Got to sample whiskey and the vodka and a delish whiskey cocktail too. Proud of their whiskey And where they make it. Well worth the visit.

    Fantastic walk into the past and a giant step to the present. Fantastic tour guy ask for Brian, kept it interesting and very engaging on the hour tour ending in the distillery and Volka & Whiskey tasting. That was yummy too and reasonably prices. Highly recommended and would do it again.

    We were waiting for our Titanic Museum entry time and stumbled upon this on Google Maps. It turned out to be one of the best things we experienced! The staff were so incredibly friendly and Dominique gave THE BEST tour of the history of the pump house and how it's modernized now to make Irish Whiskey. The timeslot only had me and my best friend so it felt like this private tour of the place. It was detailed, fun, and memorable. We got to try the Irish vodka and Irish whiskey.

    We took the guided dock tour (booked it in advance via the website) and it was the perfect ending touch of our trip! The place has a lot of authentic and original details and our guide Brian was spectacular - very knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor and interesting to listen to. My boyfriend normally does not enjoy guided tours too much but this, he said, was the best he has ever had, and I definitely agree :). We even got to go down the carving dock where Olympic and Titanic stood :). This place should not be missed or overlooked for any Titanic fan.

    What an excellent part of history shared here. Right where Titanic herself once sat to be worked on, incredible to learn the engineering behind the dry Dock let alone the construction of such a vessel! This brings history to life. I very worthwhile visit. Glad someone has had the vision to make this a tourist attraction!

    Currently closed while the Distillery renovates the building. Very frustrating as it is not communicated anywhere. Quite sad that a piece of history is left to the mercy of a for profit business who has no regard for the general public.
