Berthas Bar

Reviewed By Alan C

Visited only because the sign outside daid "Under new management" and because we had a card giving 2 For 1.We were still disappointed. Food was ok but the place was dark and uninviting. Entrance is past the smokers congregated outside and then past the open-door toilet.First and last visit for us.

The Springhill Bar

The Springhill Bar is a traditional family pub, we welcome customers with a warm atmosphere, friendly staff, plenty of drinks and a fair amount of craic.

Reviewed By Norma M

Outwardly, the Springhill wouldn't be the most exciting, inviting-looking bar and one that sadly, we have walked past regularly over the years during many holidays to the Port. OH WHAT WE HAVE MISSED!!! Walk through the doors, and you'll find a wonderful, shiny clean, traditional pub, full of character and friendly faces! It is obviously popular with the locals but you'll soon feel just as much a part of it, as visitors are warmly welcomed by all. Wednesday is 'open mic' night - great entertainment and brilliant craic! But, the best of all is Thursday's Traditional Irish Music night ........ simply outstanding!! There were at least 10 -15 highly talented musicians & singers from various locations, who played and sang, sometimes together, sometimes separately, And, with all the craic and everyone in the packed bar singing along, they could've lifted the roof!! People obviously come from near and far to enjoy what is most definitely one of the best nights of real Irish music you'll ever have!! ........ and it's FREE!!!! Thank you to the bar staff and, in particular, Leslie, a wonderful barman AND singer who, (along with his wee sister Annie) made us SO welcome! Great memories and we can't wait to return!! This bar is 'A MUST VISIT' when you're next up at the North Coast!!

Got off the train at castlerock and a few steps from that was the rock. Great food here and all the staff very friendly. Good value too , 3 courses for the price of your main. Every course was just amazing I could mot fault it. Then back on the train which comes every hour. What's not to like about it.. I will get back here again.

Reviewed By Kimxoxo

I recently booked the quays for my mum's retirement party. The staff were more than happy to decorate the room for me and very accommodating when I needed to change the buffet time. Carrie and Jamie provided excellent customer service by continually asking about the food and keeping our wee party room tidy. George the barman asked us later on if everything was ok which was a nice personal touch as the bill was already paid. Good customer service goes a long way. We will definitely be back.

Inn on the Coast

A lovely family friendly restaurant and bar which boasts an animal friendly section. Serving beautiful food and providing superb customer service.

Reviewed By CMK79

We ate here for dinner. Very friendly service, though very slow to take our order. However, food arrived very promptly after this. Husband had the tandoori chicken which he loved. I had the fish and chips - triple cooked chips could have done with a bit longer as some weren't cooked and the vinegar was very watery! (Random but true!). Would try it again as it's very handy location wise.Good Evening CMK79,Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for your feedback.i am delighted you enjoyed your meal and my apologies we were delayed in taking your order. Looking forward to welcoming you back to the Inn for another meal in the near future, will make sure the vinegar is tip top :) Kind RegardsKirsty

Something is most definitely brewing in Portrush - beer is making a quiet and classy comeback! By forging strong links with domestic, individual, artisan brewers Kiwi's Brew Bar is able to source suds that you simply can't get elsewhere along with the bes

I’ve been going to Portrush for many years and usually headed down to the usual venues at the harbour, which are also great. I can’t believe that I haven’t visited this bar before as it is a great venue. Which door to get in can be a bit confusing but once in it’s a great cosy bar with great friendly service and a limited but delicious food menu (mostly burgers). Great Guinness and good variety of other beers and spirits. Looking forward to my next visit.

Shenanigans Restaurant

Reviewed By patchthedoggy

My wife and I visited the bar in Shenanigans to sample the cocktails. We were greeted on arrival by Ashley who is the new manager there. The service we received was excellent and the cocktails were expertly created and tasted fantastic. Although our visit was relatively short, we will certainly return.

The Anchor Bar Complex

Reviewed By egwanderlust

I am unsure if we entered the wrong location for dining but this restaurant had a very small menu and also small portions. The nachos I ordered had a delicious sauce but I wish they served more of it.Although the food was below average I would still recommend this place for a few drinks. Their Irish Coffee was some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was very relaxing and we met some nice people. I would come here again during the Summer season if we ever returned. Portstewart is a beautiful seaside town.
