We ve been coming here on many occasions, tonight first time on a Saturday, food was absolutely lovely and our seever professional and nice but i had a very bad experience whenever we tried to get back up in the bar, we ve been stopped by the bouncers asking us if we have a stamp, before our dinner we were upstairs waiting for 1 hour to dine downstairs, i never knew you need an stamp i can understand the place is very busy on a Saturday but i think you should let people know they need a stamp if place is getting to busy
To be honest this ruined what was a perfect night for valentines day

We had tried to book several other restaurants in the area which we normally visit- but they were all booked up. Cromore were able to take us. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived- which is a good sign. Set menu was traditional- with good choices. Starters arrived very quickly- but unfortunately we then had to wait for an hour for main meals. This was a long wait for the children in the party. Dinner was traditional fayre. All seemed to enjoy the meal. Waitress kindly apologised for delay and said there were two full rooms of customers being served by one kitchen. It was understandable- but if you are visiting -steel yourself for a wait if it looks like a busy day. Alternatively- order lots of starters!

Cold food and charging peak summer holiday prices 1st weekend in December. Total rip off. Why is this place so busy? Cheap ingredients and mass produced food. There are much better tea time deals elsewhere

We were staying in the hotel and decided to eat in the restaurant which proved to be a good idea. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was great and the menu had lots of choice and was good value for money. Would definitely recommend a visit to this hotel and restaurant.

Great craic, great Guinness and very cosy.
Walked in during the middle of a wake (!) but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. This is a pub where the local faces go, including the golfers that the area is famous for. I got to hold Darren Clarke’s Ryder cup trophy that he gave to the guys here and James Nesbitt is another regular.
Staff great fun, loved the memorabilia around the place and the cosy fire most welcome in the snow.
We had to head home on the last night as the snow was falling hard but it was heaving with locals who were waiting for the live music.
Would love a local like this is London although the charm is due to the lovely personalities.

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

I visited on a weekend with my partner for a celebration meal. There were plenty of spare tables which was unusual for a Sat night. The menu was quite basic and reasonably well priced. Staff were friendly but not overly professional. The food was acceptable. Good for families with children but not really great for a special night out. Local restaurants in the vicinity where packed out.

After a very lo g day of touring we ventured to Portrush for dinner. The best way to describe Portrush is very New Jersey shore like.
We ventured into this place because we were cold and tired if walking.
The first impression was not impressive at all. The place clearly needs some TLC and there were some interesting people in the bar. We were not worried ed as there were families with children already in the bar so we felt comfortable with our child.
The bartenders were very helpful and polite. We had the BEST nachos that I've ever had in my life. Yes I have been many places and never thought that I would order nachos in Northern Ireland let alone have the best ones ever.
Overall we were pleased, the place just needs a face lift. Have the nachos.
