Courthouse Bar in Craigavon

Food lovely. Service in restaurant good . Service in bar deplorable. First beer good later beers awful

Amazing food and friendly staff.

My Family and I are regular customers, we believe in supporting local businesses and spend alot of money on both food and drinks in the Courthouse Bar. We have never had to complain, Only for one particular evening meal I felt i had to let the staff know the bad quality of the chicken we had to pay extra for in the curry. The portion size was little and the texture was very chewie so this time could we only pay for a vegetable curry. I was approached by the manager who said "i hear you have a complaint and he would have to speak to the kitchen", he returned and practically said I was wrong as they use a full fillet portion and refused to take the extra charge off our bill. I was very surprised of the lack of basic customer care. We are sorry to say that this unnecessary shocking experience has made us feel very reluctant to order another meal again. ALL the Bar and Serving staff are Excellent!!!!! The manager needs a refresher course in Hospitality Skills.

Restaurant was empty but, food was lovely, great portions, and overall a good experience.

Came in started talking to a friendly guy turns out he was part of the management couldn't do enough for me also a really nice girl with blue hair called demi an absolute gem of a person. If that's there staff round of applause to them 5star

My friends food was amazing mine was nice just wished there was a wider veggie option

I was very surprised at the food compared with past experiences at this establishment. The menu seemed a little pretentious with the descriptions and we had to ask the waiter for explanations on some of the meals. But as a group of two couples we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the brilliant service we received. The Bacon chop meal which two of us had was a delight, tasty, well prepared, and not too heavy. I have never seen anything like it on any other menu. Cudos to the chef for designing it. We’ll be back. Well done The Courthouse 👏

Great atmosphere, the bartenders however we're not paying attention and audibly being rude to the staff.

Called in for a meal as we were staying across the road. Staff friendly and welcoming. Plenty of seats and tables. We both had a very enjoyable meal. 1 of us had stuffed chicken and parma ham with garlic potatoes while the other opted for chicken goujons, chips with a side of house gravy. Good value for money. Would definitely go back.

Enjoyed food was in at a quiet time. Reasonable prices and will return

Had a good time here with friends. Lovely atmosphere Good menu selection Loved my cocktail choices Atmosphere was fun Would definitely return Great food Keep up the hard work everyone

Great food and service. Thanks very much

My mum and I visited here for a quick lunch. We had halloumi bites, the seafood tempura and sticky toffee pudding which were all amazingThe bar is lovely, staff very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the food was excellent. Will definitely be back

It's ok bar very pricey on drinks, I know cheaper bar to go to. I won't be coming back...

Food was fantastic. It was a bit chilly, didn't take my coat off.

Went out for a few drinks with the mates. Food was top notch and so was the service.. Great drinking bar for watching the Football..

Delicious food and great service.

Too full! Too loud... People tried to get conversation going over loud music...not enough seating options even that there is a space.. Smoking area good idea but need to be heated..

Went for a meal and it was delicious. Service was great and very attentive. Live music in bar later was a bonus

The restaurant had phenominal food. Entertainment was also unexpected and wonderful. the bar athmosphere was great and some dancing. I wished I spent more time in Lorgan as I would go back. Strongly recommended.

Nice atmosphere. Good food. Used to go here with my boyfriend ( husband for the last 26 years). Met up with my nice and family on a long overdue visit home.

They cook the chips in the same oil as the chicken

Didn't eat on my most recent visit but have in the past and it was good. Live music playing in the evenings and nice atmosphere. Pricing a little bit on the high side for Lurgan

Always a go to for us when in the area - food and service is always great - staff are friendly and make the best cocktails - also good for a night out in town.

Great for a drink with friends. Quiet mid week and livelier at weekends.

Called into the courthouse bar mid week for a pint and a bite to eat have to say the food and service was excellent would definitely recommend

Very good atmosphere. Excellent customer care. Very good music. Really like this bar and restaurant.

Hubby and I had a beautiful meal

Lively atmosphere, tasty food and good service

Lovely clean bar/restaurant. Staff very helpful and efficient. Great menu and food excellent. Carbonara absolutely delicious.

Bartenders are woeful, serving their mates before serving paying customers, ignored for 30+ minutes but serving according to customers 'mates' before anyone else

First time in the Courthouse. I was there for a Christmas Party. The service and food was excellent. Big plus was been able to park outside

Good spot for drinks, also you can get here very good dinner.

Great food and drink Reasonably priced for the great quality Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Called here for a late lunch.... great choice on the menu and reasonably priced Ambience great, very tastefully decorated, toilets spotless Overall a great experience and the food and service was top notch Trying to find something negative to say but can't, a really well run establishment

Great bar quick service and a nice pint

Came up from belfast for the night and this was excellent food and lovely decor. would definitely recommend.

Beautiful meal,brilliant staff,courteous at all times. The normal standard for the McConaghy family.

First time at The Courthouse today. Best Sunday roast dinner out EVER. Very tasty. Definitely be back

First time at the Courthouse today and it didnt disappoint. Ordered the Roast beef dinner and can honestly say it was the best roast dinner EVER. Will definitely be back to sample more of their menu. Staff very attentive too

Ad good time. And a couple of Guinness

Food wasn't the greatest nor was the entertainment

Top awarding winning bar with lots different areas to sit and enjoy good variety of beers and spirits.

Great food, good prices, friendly helpful staff and excellent smoking area

We book a table at the Courthouse Friday nigh for a works outing. Honestly I have to say, a huge thank you to Helen and her staff, for making our night so special..the service we received was second to none, we were made to feel so welcome, our food was absolutely fantastic.5 star⭐ the waiters were so attentive. Brilliant night all round. Highly recommended 👌

Fabulous food , lovely atmosphere, fantastic service.will definitely be back.

My daughter had he birthday /wedding meal at the Courthouse on 11th March... Everything was just perfect the attention to detail was amazing... Helen was absolutely fantastic she made the experience just perfect... I would highly recommend the Courthouse the food and drinks were amazing thank you all for a lovely evening.

My partner and I came here in February for a meal. The service was excellent, the staff are obviously well trained in customer service, the right amount of attentive but not annoying. Food and drinks arrived in good time, nice atmosphere. We had salted chilli chicken and goats cheese starter (special) and then a burger and fish thai curry (special) both were piping hot and full of flavour. There was a great selection of cocktails and good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent we watched Celtic then rangers matches. Food delicious. Swally was thirst quenching.

Good spot for a drink with good live music

Great first visit. Very busy Saturday service well handled by the team. The food was really very good and a second trip will be on the cards

Nice bar, good range of cocktails. The prices are fair

Delicious food and excellent service will definitely be back.

All rules were followed, always felt safe

My fiancée and I had our post-proposal dinner with our families here and Helen was so nice to set the table for us! That extra bit of thought made the day that much better!

Called in for lunch on recommendation from friend and were not disappointed The service was excellent from Rebecca I had the beer battered cod and homemade chips with mushy peas lovely My wife had the wraps which were also very nice

Excellent food,excellent service,excellent spot for food and drink, never had a bad meal and never had bad experience. Fully recommended.

Great Venue and Great Food Brilliant place enjoyed the cocktails and food, definitely recommend a visit

Great food, excellent staff, lovely night out, will definitely be back soon! First night out in quite a while, pints went down a treat!!

Venus ici pour boire une bière, ona finalement mangé sur place. Le serveur est sympa, l'endroit joli, il y a du choix dans les bières et les prix sont très abordables. Côté bouffe, ce n'est pas extraordinaire, mais le rapport qualité-prix est très correct. Je recommande !

Absolutely amazed by the impeccable cleanliness of the courthouse bar with regards to the covid19 Pandemic. Restaurant manageress Helen was more than attentive for myself and family members, each member of staff had great punctuality, professionalism and politeness. Amazing food as per usual and more than impressed again with the restaurant and bar staff.

We arranged my sisters ‘family hen party’ for the Courthouse Bar where we hired the VIP area. I can honestly say it all went fantastic thanks to bar manager Conal and his staff. He assisted with all the pre-planning, party theme decorations, arranging the hen video I had created to be played on their tv screens, surprised us with the champagne toast with sparklers, served us the most delicious food platters, and ensured our every need was met. Simply a 5 star service from a beautiful, modern upmarket bar/restaurant. The perfect timing and smooth planning of everything meant we were all able to sit back and just enjoy the evening while he looked after us all, even making sure we all got home in one piece and sorting our taxis home. It is not often that one can say ‘nothing went wrong’, I truly believe this is down to the excellent service from Conal and his team!

Had pre-booked a table for 5 but were were squeezed around a table for 4 which was not very comfortable. Found the waitress to be quite dis-interested in us. Starter came down and only 4 sets of cutlery on the table which she did not notice, we had to ask someone else to bring us cutlery, we ordered wine for the meal and we were given 2 small wine glasses and two large wine glasses - waitress looked really annoyed when we asked for four wine glasses the same size. Apart from that the food was fairly good. I can only comment on my dish which was the duck. It was slightly overdone and only a small amount of sauce (as it was a bit dry a bit more sauce would have been welcome) but the flavour was good. I probably would give them another chance but because of the issues we had I can really only score them average for this visit.

Had a lovely night out our meals were delicious with fab service. The chicken tenders were yummy best batter I have had locally. Both mains were great and the profiteroles were outstanding for dessert.

I am a regular attendee of the courthouse bar in lurgan and I have to say Gareth is the best barman I have every had always very polite and always accommodating when comes to making drinks. He makes the best Singapore sling I have ever had. When it comes to food this bar is one of the best and Kyle and Helen are two of the best servers I have ever had when it comes to food. I cant reccomend this bar anymore as it is the beat in lurgan

What an exciting bar in such a small town. Called in last weekend with my husband, and asked what cocktails were available and the bartender Gareth I think?.. was more than enthusiastic to rhyme off the menu to me, asking me what I liked and even introducing some cocktails that weren't on the menu. I got the cucumber cocktail that he suggested and I must say it was on par with his service, absolutely impeccable. We will be back.

Its always good to find a venue which offers a selection of fish and knows how to cook it. However, it would help if all staff were informed about what is on the menu rather than having to check each time a question is asked. And once again I was reminded that I should never order coffee without specifying whether I want it with or after dessert. In this case, it was served well before dessert arrived.

Thank you so much for the beautiful vegan risotto. Great portion of fresh greens. The chocolate cake and ice-cream were yummy. And tea was piping hot!

Three family members met on the train on the Bangor to Portadown line at Lurgan Station. Within a very short walk we were at the Courthouse Bar for lunch. Fine range of lunch choices. We had good food, good service and good wine! Not too many there besides ourselves so it was as quiet as we like it for a family get together!

We visited the Courthouse for Sunday lunch mid September. Once again we were met by restaurant manager Helen who was her usual friendly self chatting away and seeing to anything we needed. The food once again was delicious and perfectly cooked and served. Highly recommend visiting the Courthouse if you haven’t tried it.

Celebrated a 40th birthday here with a large group of friends. Food and service was amazing with a large choice on the menu. Would definitely recommend.

In for a lunch with friends. Many beautiful dishes to choose from and daily specials. We were able to amend dishes to suit tastes with no issues. Portions could be a little bigger for some of the dishes but this is a minor complaint.

During my first visit to Northern Ireland I chanced upon this hostelry and was most surprised. The staff were most polite and spoke good English. I was there for an early dinner and the menu was varied and attractive. The interior of the courthouse is very clean and it is easy to imagine events of long ago when it did function as a courthouse.

We just had a family meal in the courthouse. Our waiter was helpful and efficient. The food was lovely.. The Salmon was cooked to perfection and the Lamb was so tasty. But this is not why we are leaving a five star review. Unfortunately a member of our dining party became suddenly ill while dining. We are so grateful to the staff for their proffessional and thoughtful reaction. We have to thank manager Helen who is quite obviously first aider trained and so proffessional. Our evening went from peaceful and delicious, to life threatening. Without the calm reaction of the staff, the courtesy of our fellow diners and the thoughtfulness of Helen we would have been lost. Luckily the member of our party has now made a full recover but we are very grateful to the staff, and cannot recommend the Courthouse more. Thank you so much x we will be very grateful and once we get over the shock we will come again and enjoy your delicious food, great service and super proffessional staff.

Great food, good selection from the menu. Lovely setting in a old building. Cocktails went down a treat. Live music give the place a great atmosphere.

Hearing the negative reputation about Lurgan, I was pleased to find the Courthouse. The meal was of a high standard and the service was both prompt and friendly. Our waitresses Helen and Chloe, were very attentive but did not rush us. The duck was pink, as was the steak- perfect! The ambiance in the restaurant had just the perfect feeling of formality. When we finished, we went to the off sales. The lady, Aileen, serving us was very helpful. She understood our wine needs and her customer service was outstanding. This hidden treasure was a welcome surprise. I will recommend the Courthouse.

Myself and friends recently dined in the courthouse bar, absolutely amazing food from chef Gary. Service from waitress Sarah was impecable from start to finish. Danielle the bar supervisor was prompt and attentive. Absolutely amazing atmosphere with live music and massive range of cocktails. Couldnt be happier.

On holiday in the area visiting family and popped in for a drink. Was a bit nervous but the bar staff (ginger) was really nice and had good craic! Pineapple margaritas were gorgeous!! Couldn't have had a better more relaxed time!

Stopped by on way back from shopping trip and wasn't disappointed, not too many in bar so we chose to eat there instead of restuarant, had mushrooms for starter, steak for dinner which was cooked to my liking med/rare and a lovely salted caramel dessert, service was quick and staff very friendly and attentive. Will defo pay another visit

We recently visited the courthouse for an evening meal and were definitely not disappointed. Great friendly atmosphere on arrival. Greeted by restaurant manager Helen and staff member Sarah on arrival we were seated with great efficiency. Drinks ordered, meal ordered and great friendly chat. Our meals when they arrived were absolutely fantastic with the perfect sized portions. Desserts were the perfect end to a perfect meal. Great credit to all the kitchen team on a wonderful meal and many thanks to Helen for a great experience. Would definitely highly recommend visiting the Courthouse to anyone who hasn’t been.

Recently went for Sunday lunch, 4 adults & 2kids . Really delicious food & fab service. Special shout out to Kyle, so friendly, helpful & great interaction with the kids. Credit to the Thomas & Conal

The pub advertised that it was showing the recent Ireland v Italy game, with two separate Facebook posts advertising "Live coverage of the Six Nation's" (sic). The Six Nations was mentioned ahead of the soccer matches in the ad, so we assumed it would have top billing in the pub. However, we arrived in to find that only the Man Utd v Liverpool Premiership game was being shown on all the TV screens.

Called in tonight heading for train.

Been to Courthouse many times and it never disappoints. Had many lovely nights out in this place. Always good music and great atmosphere

Visited the Courthouse recently with a group of 50 for a ‘mystery tour’ event and was given the upstairs function area. Was perfect for our group with access to our own bar and smoking area. Buffet food was great and service was excellent - especially from Helen who took our booking. Great for functions, would recommend.

Very disappointed to find that the restaurant did not have a vegetarian menu. There was only one veggie option on the menu but deep fried vegetables was not very appealing to my friend. In fairness, the chef whipped up a pasta dish on request but not the same as having a range of dishes to choose from. Portion size small and quite expensive. Waitress very friendly. Doubt I will pay a return visit

My mum and dad were over from England visiting and wanted to take us all out for a meal. I browsed the web and decided we would go somewhere that I already knew did good food as I did not want to risk a bad meal. The Courthouse did not disappoint, it was as fabulous as ever! My mum said that the steak she had was the "the best she'd ever had in her life" and is she's in her 60's, so no mean feat. My Dad thoroughly enjoyed his curry and my eldest son (7 years old) loved his delicious pasta from the kids menu. My duck was fantastic too. This place is easily the best place to eat in Lurgan. We'll definitely visit time and time again. Service was also second to none.

In all my years I’ve never witnessed such amazing and attentive, polite customer service from a lovely server called Kyle. Thank yo, Kyle, for such a lovely experience. The food was also absolutely mouth watering!! The blueberry cup desert was UNREAL!!!!!!!!! Will definitely be back.

Food is served here and it is very tasty. They have very clean toilets, you can play pool or have a few drinks with friends. Plays a great selection of music and there is an upstairs with a second bar too

My second time eating at the courthouse..a nice trendy menu friendly staff and the food was excellent...i would highly recommend this venue...well done guys.

Myself and my wife have been here twice over the last month,although this isn’t the first time we have been here.The consistency regarding the quality of the food and the service provided by the staff,especially Helen is second to none.To get quality food and service in Lurgan is difficult and this restaurant has successfully filled the chasm that existed.

Four of us had Sunday lunch at the Courthouse and again we were impressed.

Never disappointed when we visit the Courthouse. Excellent food on beautiful surroundings. Great choice and kids meals great too . Never been disappointed

Fillets steaks arrived as ordered, one rare & one well done, with tasty accompaniments, first class. Desserts were delicious. Service is good from professional & friendly staff. Reasonably priced Highly recommended.

great place, great drinks cocktails are well presented. far too many people allowed in and ids could be requested for alot of the regulars there

Went with the hubby for dinner at 7pm on a Saturday evening. While the surroundings and atmosphere are lovely, the meal was disappointing.

This was our second time eating here in the last couple of months. The first time the food and service was excellent, so we were hoping for the same again. Had the garlic mushroom crumble for starters, have never seen that before, beautiful. On the recommendation of the waitress I went for the brisket which was on the Specials board, it was amazing , the plate went back spotless. I have to say that I've been impressed by the Courthouse any time I've visited it since the revamp. They're really trying to raise the level of quality and service here and they seem to be succeeding. We'll be back again for sure.

Me and my boyfriend had an amazing vegan meal here on friday. The chef's went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be back, was so good

Had the pork special absolutely delicious. Washed down with an obligatory Guinness a perfect meal to end a day of traveling.

Booked table for 7 at 530pm on a weekday for our colleagues leaving do. Some others had dined previously and raved about the food and decor! So we were all excited to see and taste what our local had to offer.
