1. \u00a0The new sand-and-lacquer floor is now ultra-ultra-ultra-grippy!<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0You now know what’s going on.<\/p>\n

(We’d noticed a lot of new customers doing a dance of confusion and befuddlement on the ramp at the entrance as they tried to figure out how this strange cafe-that’s-not-really-a-cafe works. \u00a0Now they know!)

3. \u00a0The best little room in Belfast just got even better – it now includes a baby-changing table!<\/p>\n

\"2014-03-15<\/a><\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Our latest artwork exhibition features fabulous old shipyard designs which we found in rusty metal drawers in a far-off corner in the unrestored part of the beautiful H&W Drawing Offices. \u00a0The skill and intricacy of each schematic is pure art – even though we don’t know what a Comyn Condensate De-Oiler (Automatic Type) might be! \u00a0Come in soon for a closer look – they really are spectacular<\/p>\n

\"2014-03-15<\/a><\/p>\n

5. \u00a0There’s a new ‘best seat in the house’:<\/p>\n

\"2014-03-15<\/a>
\n\"2014-03-15<\/a>Leather armchairs…
\nrecliners…
\nin a quiet corner of the cafe…
\nsun streaming through the window…
\n<\/span>best view in Titanic Quarter…
\nan antique shipyard thingamabob to rest your cup on…
\nWhat’s not to love!<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Rest your mug on a piece of history!<\/p>\n

There are now even more tables, furniture and benches rescued from the H&W Drawing Office and lovingly restored by Dock volunteers – so you might be resting your coffee mug on a table that once was used to design ships:<\/p>\n

\"2014-03-15<\/a><\/p>\n

And the best thing of all about the new Dock Cafe is that it’s finally OPEN!! – after our week of renovations, and then our impromptu floor-fixing rescue job last week, it’s lovely to be ready for a ‘normal’ week of Dock Cafe life again. \u00a0We’re open 11-5 every day (Including St Patrick’s Day tomorrow), the kettle is on, the scones are fresh from the bakery… Your cuppa awaits!<\/p>\n
