Harbour House Newcastle in Down

My friends and I got in the restaurant and where there for 20 min wothout nobody talking to us, we wantes some food and they told us that the kitchen closed at 10 pm, it was 9:30 pm

This establishment exudes a welcoming ambiance, offering a delightful selection of beverages and a culinary experience that surpasses expectations.

Most delicious fish and chips ever!!We arrived after a long day travelling and absolutely starving to great friendly and swift service.Thanks guys!!

Food great pity about the flies.

Had a lovely lunch here. Staff were great and the food fab.

I had the cauliflower steak and my hubby had the silverside. The food was absolutely beautiful. I would have preferred rice instead of chips with the cauliflower but it was very nice. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice. I don’t know about the rooms.

Friendly and helpful staff and absolutely spectacular fish and scampi! Do try to get a table in the back of the restaurant (open air during the summer, enclosed and heated in the cooler months), the views across the whole of Newcastle, Dundrum and beyond are breathtaking!

We have both stayed here and just called in for a drink and also had evening meals here. Sat inside and outside. And it's a great place. Atmosphere is lovely. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

A really cool restaurant. Especially if you're not local. The fish'n chips were just awesome

Excellent quality food unfortunately the service was far too slow

Great bar, appeals to young, old and families. Staff very friendly.

First class location, stay and dining. Excellent from start to finish. Breathtaking views looking over the harbour. Lovely service and food. Thank you

Overall great food and fast service. Brilliant view as well.

Lovely view, room very tired. Rusty fixtures in the bathroom, very small room for the price. Very hot in the rooms, asked for a fan but I guess they didn’t have any. Breakfast was okay, toast came half way through our breakfast and was burnt. I paid £198 for one night - I don’t think it was value for money unfortunately.

Booked dinner for 19:15, but wasn't sitting down until 19:50 and meal served 15mins later. But against that, service was excellent and the menu explained where needed. Also the food was delicious and the ambience fun and lively. So 8/10 from me.

Food was meh ok 2/5 stars. What the F is a service charge too? Literally stole 33 quid for a service charge which they were never getting as a tip which is joke. Ohhh but it’s inflation. Yeah good job And the blonde girl serving was grim. We also got told to leave, imagine paying customers told to leave a business.

Wow! Meal was very big and very nice. I had roast beef, highly recommend.

Dog friendly!! Which is a win for me as I like to bring my fur buddies with me for emotional support. They are also people friendly!! All the staff are pleasant and friendly, go out of their way to please. Scenic location right at the harbour facing onto the sea. I enjoyed a dark and stormy by the fire during storm Kathleen! Food is great and great craic on Fri and sat nights. Love it here

Called for tea and had lovely meal and staff friendly

We loved it!! …We had a group booking for the Tyrone Dippers. It was no easy task with 50 of us but we were warmly welcomed into the Habour Inn, with delicious food and friendly, helpful and polite staff in lovely surroundings 🥰 Thank you

Really disappointing, we had booked a table of 8 but they had split us into two separate tables of 4 so we had to wait while they rearranged the tables. Staff were pleasant, if a little clueless but the service was very slow. The food was mediocre at best and the toilets were very rough and the whole place seemed unclean. Wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend unfortunately.

Had a lovely meal yesterday with the Tyrone dippers the food was delicious and service was impeccable. Friendly welcoming and courteous staff so very worth a visit 💖

We booked last minute. Served by a lovely guy who was very friendly and welcoming. The food was OK. My friend had the steak which was tender enough but had a lot of inedible fat. The scampi and chips were OK, nothing to rave about. Lovely location. The bar area was a bit old fashioned in need of a face-lift. Wouldn't rush back for food but perhaps a nice pint of rockshore 😊

What a lovely place to sit and watch the waves, the food was very tasty even though the chicken burger was a bit over crispy, i still ate it all, and a perfect pint of Guinness, i will be going back

Second time eating in this friendly spot with great food and awesome views. Friendly staff and a wide ranging menu. Everyone enjoyed their meals! Dog friendly too. We will definitely return.

We went for lunch was super nice food nice staff 👍👍

Food was delicious and staff was very friendly

Nice intimate vibe with acoustic singer

Booking of table honoured and greeted immediately, even though the Inn was busy with Rugby fans. Atmosphere and service were excellent. Apart from the scampi being a bit tasteless (texture was great, just no seafood flavour), everything else was perfect 👌.

My wife and I traveled to Northern Ireland from Florida on vacation and stopped into the Harbour House for a couple of drinks and we met Jeanette who served us in the bar. She was a lovely friendly lady who made us feel very welcome. We were sorry we missed Frank the Owner, he must be a wonderful man from the stories Janette shared with us. Great welcoming place. Thank you Jeanette

Have been eating here for years. Called in today 5pm 15th March 2024 and food great as usual and good atmosphere. Have to say a big thankyou to the lady who served us- (Sorry don't know her name- black hair), her service was excellent from start to the finish of our dining experience- a credit to the place. Will always come back here- great sea views.

The Service is so friendly, food delicious -we'll be back😃

Lovely food and great Guinness. Excellent service.

A very quirky place beside the sea with the most amazing views!! Great choice of menu with lunch specials and accommodation available.

Local bar, restaurant and rooms overlooking the harbour. Had a good meal here. It's cosy inside.

Really like this bar . Great seating. Live music on Saturday night

Fabulous tasty meal of crab claws and prawns in a piquant soupy sauce. Could have been a little bigger, or ditch the chips and add more of the lovely buttery toasted sourdough. Excellent menu. It’s a pity it’s not available to view here. Lots of variety with fresh seafood.

Stayed for two nights Aug 2020.Beautiful Bar/Restaurant overlooking the Irish sea.In the lovely town of Newcastle Co Down. Accommodation of excellent standard. Rooms comfortable and spotlessly clean.Delicious breakfast and superb selection on the lunch /dinner menu.Staff are wonderfull and will go out of there way to accommodate your every needs.Cant recommend highly enough. Check out there website for fantastic deals.

Sad to write such a negative review but compared to our last visit over a year ago this was a huge disappointment - possibly the worst dining experience we've had in the past 5 years To start, we were ushered into a cold characterless & uninviting room (the pantry). The menu when it appeared bore no resemblance to the online version (couldn't they state this on the site?) - lacking in choice First real issue: - we arrived at 8pm & ordered in 10 minutes - we were served our starters at precisely 9:30?! In between time we were constantly asked did we all want another drink. At least half our group were not drinking alcohol - later we were to discover that a pint of coca cola was as much as a pint of beer! The starters were poor - deep fried brie (??) wedge & droopy salad, floppy fish tacos, goujons, .crab claws. Then another delay whilst we waited for our main courses (plenty of drinks though). Mains were variable - steaks were ok, scampi was armour platef, kids meal soggy fish & chips. When it came to the bill the drink costs were incredible given few of us were drinking alcohol.To be honest, I can't fault the serving staff, they were pleasant & tried their best. But the miserable dank room, slow delivery, average food and incredible cost of soft drinks made for a miserable family meal. There are plenty of much better places in Newcastle, suggest you frequent them. Truly woeful!

Place was advised by the locals so me and my girl went there for a anniversary dinner. We were waiting by the bar to be seated for about 10min while staff were just chatting and "scratching their asses" ignoring new customers. That's says a lot about this place, that was the first and the last time we are going there. International food trip blog will have a bad review as well. No point to go there if nobody cares to serve the customer.

went here as recommended by a few locals as great fish n chips but not in my opinion! restaurant has lovely views and friendly staff but for £15 i got a very small fish with batter not crispy and some giant chips again not crispy . received better in any seaside chippy!

We come here all the time for the fantastic view across the bay to the Slieve Donard Hotel and for the wonderful food and great pints! Absolutely the best wings and a great pint of Guinness! Keelin provided us with the best hospitality recently! All other members of staff are equally as great! We will continue to come here even if the weather is rubbish, the views are amazing! We love it here!

We bought fish and chips at harbour bar as we were fed up ! We sat down at the pier to enjoy ! Must say it was scrumptious!!! Must be the best yet ! The lady who served my hubby was so nice , great beer too !! So glad we tried ! Thanks harbour bar newcastle!

Had a beautiful meal here and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The staff are wonderful and cant do enough for you. Definitely 5 stars from me and will be back

rang the hotel day before travelling from england to see if we could be accomodated for a meal whilst watching 6 nations, en route to our accomodation. assured we would be, and had a fantastic meal, fantastic atmosphere, very good service from the staff. thankyou

Stayed for Valentine's weekend, room was lovely, even though storm Dennis had hit on Saturday it was lovely sitting watching the storm from the outside area with Leather Leather settee's, blankets and hotwater bottles..breakfast is fantastic, and the evening meal was yummy..5 stars for everything..well done to all the staff

Once again I visited the harbour house Newcastle. On a chilly night inside was nice and warm with a fire lit. We we’re welcomed by Louise. Very friendly and accommodating lady. She looked after us all evening and every request seen too. The food looked good and tasted even better. Easy access and level inside. Will be back.

The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The restaurant is excellent, offering hearty meals at a very reasonable price (try the mussels). There is a pub which welcomes both travellers and locals, which makes for a very enjoyable time. Francis and her staff are marvellous hosts, all very friendly and more than helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better place! I look forward to a return visit.

L'ambiente è bello e il personale gentile.

meal,s expensive not worth it i had fish oie think fish had just swam through smallest pportion,s of tartare sauce ever seen huby had fish and chips he did,nt eat chip,d and fish was miniscule doc,s are better value and tasted better will never go back here

My family and I travelled with our children for a day out in Newcastle. Upon recommendation from a friend we decided to dine at harbour house.

Visited the Harbour House on a sunny Easter Monday and thoroughly enjoyed the food, the views(dolphins included) and service. After dinner sent the kids home with the grand parents and had some great cocktails amazingly prepared by our waitress Anna.

My wife and I called in here on the way back from walking up Slieve Binnian. The Guinness tasted amazing, the bacon Brie and cranberry burger was fantastic and the staff were more than helpful and very friendly. The place was very busy (always a good sign). We would recommend this spot if you want a chilled, relaxed, informal, reasonably priced pub grub setting. You’ll not be disappointed.

Just stopped in for drinks in stormy weather. Friendly bar and cosy surroundings. The restaurant was busy so I’m sure is good. Nice harbour views from the restaurant too.

Great food we all had the roast beef very tender and tasty. Service excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommend visit.
