Ever since the Dock’s big makeover a few months ago, customers in the cafe have had the chance to answer the question that’s been troubling philosophers since the dawn of time – What Is The Dock?

I posted the first blackboard-full of replies back in April – the board has been filled, partially wiped, re-filled and added-to loads of times since then.  So, what is The Dock?

This is a Godsend… Wonderful place, we love it… A place for me & my best friends to spend time… I love being here… I spend more time here than I do at college [respect the honesty!]… where you can chill, enjoy great coffee and while away the hours… a place to connect with friends… Dock is love… the craic is 90…

Or maybe it’s:

A place of peace and tranquility… a magic little piece of Belfast… human kindness… warmth on a rainy day… a fun place with nice views and good coffee… a warm, welcome place for rest… local church… take time out of revision and chill at The Dock… Serenity amongst chaos… amazing… one of a kind… not just a cafe… very cosy… BMC CU clubhouse…

All good answers! – and now it’s time to clean the board and start again.

What is The Dock? Over to you!
