Have just enjoyed another excellent meal in The Port Hotel. Portrush has a few good eating places but for friendly service, comfortable atmosphere and good food, the Port Hotel is right up there with the best. Myself and my partner were shown to a table by the waiter and took our drinks order straight away which arrived almost instantly because of the fancy new computer ordering they have. After looking at the menu I opted for the prawn cocktail while my partner had the buffalo wings. Both were tasty and set us up for the main course. I had the lasagne with garlic fries while he had the sirloin steak with chips and pepper sauce. Both mains were delicious. My partner stated that his steak was "perfect"! After a little persuasion from our waiter ( well that's my excuse) we finished off with pavlova and chocolate fudge cake. So as well as an excellent meal, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. He made us feel like VIPs from we entered the dining room until we left. I will definitely be back to eat here. Thank you for a superb evening.

The interior of the playhouse is lovely, however it has not obtained its true potential.The staff and clientele all look and behave like they are trying to audition for the Jeremy Kyle show. Nightmare experience.It looks good, but sadly it's all fur coat and no knickers.

As we were staying in another hotel we decided to try out the bar in the Port. It was lovely and the staff were so friendly. The decor was cosy and in perfect order. We even came back the second night.

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

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.

Family of 5 ate dinner here. Food was decent, not great except for maybe the Sea Bass which was really good. But the service was very poor. We ordered drinks with the food and did not receive them until we were 3/4 thru our meal. We asked our server 3 times and even 2 other servers. I was getting ready to call over the manager when our drinks finally arrived. And the drinks included tap water. So basically we ate 3/4 of our meal without and drinks. Very frustrating. The other complaint was it took a long time to get our bill. Other patrons were lining up at the bar asking if they could pay there. So that is what I did. And got out of there.I would not recommend.

The restaurant really lets the bar part of this establishment down.The bar is great and has character and the Guinness is great but the restaurant is another story!The food was extremely average considering the waiting times, we werenât the only table that this was happening to, there were a number of tables around us that were getting frustrated. We eventually got our starter and finished this and waited another 30 mins and no member of the waiting staff came near us. I had to go and get someone to clear our table & get our mains which as previously mentioned were hardly worth the wait.I know this is a well known tourist area and it can be busy at times but there is no excuse for shabby service, the waiting staff really didnât give a hoot they were just going through the motions. Definitely will return to the bar but wonât be eating here again.

Iâve been going to Portrush for many years and usually headed down to the usual venues at the harbour, which are also great. I canât believe that I havenât visited this bar before as it is a great venue. Which door to get in can be a bit confusing but once in itâs 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.
