Kiwi's Brew Bar in Coleraine

This establishment was recommended to me when we were staying at a bed-and-breakfast. I walked in Tuesday night and sat in a booth waiting for a menu or somebody to ask me if I needed anything I waited over 10 minutes during this time they threw out a homeless woman So I assumed it was the chaos going on that nobody noticed. I was sitting there. It was not that busy at this time Eventually, I stood up to go to the bar and order something and ask where I can get Wi-Fi because your phone will get absolutely no service because this is in a basement The owner was talking to some of his friends or Colleagues and refused to look at me or make eye contact with me. I waited for several minutes for the server who was behind the bar at this time to ask me if I’d like anything and she would not make eye contact with me I went and sat back down at my table and this time I tried to wave her down a couple times and she refused to acknowledge me When my friend came in, he was able to go right up to the bar and order us two drinks, but I refuse to stay at this establishment since they were rude and did not want to give me service. I have been all over Ireland from top to bottom and from side side, and never have I been in an establishment where the owner and the serves Were so rude and unwelcoming. I could not tell you how the food is because I never got an opportunity to order anything I would give this place zero stars, but it doesn’t give me that option

The food was simple, a dry hamburger, accompanied by old frozen potatoes, the wings weren't very good either, the best thing was the cheese sauce they put to alleviate the spiciness.

Listed on lots of sites as dog friendly but needs update as no longer allows dogs

Ate here twice in as many nights. Good food at a reasonable price.

Just dropped in late for one drink. Friendly bar staff and football just ending on tv. Wee group with whistle guitar and bodhran playing some nice tunes. Drink very cheap as arrived during 'Happy Hour" evening. Table a bit sticky but probably after busy night. Wasn't eating.

Hamburger and Onion Rings weren't that tasty..best were the beers..

Great selection of beer. Burgers and pizzas served in a very relaxed atmosphere. Great place to watch sports.

Great place to chill out and have a bite to eat

Went in for a few drinks, beer and cocktails ( irish donkey poitin). Would go again if in the area.

Relaxed, friendly, great food and beer.

Great food awesome beers. Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere hard to beat kiwis!!

Excellent. We love this place! Great bar food at decent prices, wine, craft beers, whiskeys, live entertainment. It's got the lot. Highly recommended!

This place just keeps getting better and better every visit. Wether it's for sport, a show or dinner with family and friends. It's got it all. The food is proper and the wings are better than Canadian wings hands down. Staff are super cool and always ready to help, so much atmosphere. It's truly one of the best local spots for a night out. Especially for sporting events. Always look forward to each visit.

First time in Kiwis and we loved it. Friendly staff. Was very busy being a Saturday afternoon and the bar had a bouncing, fun atmosphere. Suits all ages and families. We ordered pizza and we were not disappointed. Food is prepared fresh and you know that from the flavours. Great bar for watching sports, so I'm looking forward to rugby matches.

The food is very good, especially the southern style wings. Burgers and others, very good too. I want to highlight how Tim, a super nice guy, treated us. Thanks Tim! If we return to Northern Ireland, we will see each other!

The pizza was great. Frank, the bartender was fun!

This is a lovely friendly place, staff are so present and the food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, this is our second time here, will definitely be back!

Highly recommend hot wings and burgers definitely the best in town!!

One of the gems of Portrush, great pub, staff, atmosphere, for sports, drinks and food

Great local NI beers. Twice I've been in there been a live guitarist... Highly recommend for beer and atmosphere.

Love it,the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is beautiful and well price.lovely homely atmosphere

Stayed in Portrush recently and this bar was excellent. The staff gave recommendations for food and drink to try, and it didn't disappoint. There was also live music on for entertainment.

We went on Monday night for Karaoke. Had a great night

Very good place, went here twice since burgers were fantastic!

Great Staff, Great Drink, Great Food, Highly recommend the Jameson and gingers highly recommend sticking to the singles though😂

Lovely spot Friendly staff Great entertainment Reasonable priced drinks fab offers

Great atmosphere. Showing the France Austria match. Pizzas were terrific. Staff v friendly. Nothing not to like.Lots of locals here.

Amazing, very good food and good music!

Great owners and staff. Fantastic food! cricket on the screen❤️

The staff at Kiwis are fantastic, great service and always incredibly helpful. The hot wings pack a punch but they taste so good you can’t help but keep eating them. Had one of the pizzas on this occasion and it was divine, could’ve ate two of them. They’ve a great selection of spirits at great prices and I’d recommend the location to anyone (especially if your into sports as they always have a match playing) One of the must-visit spots in Portrush.

Best pub in Portrush. Updated menu is superb!

We shared one of the chicken and the smash burgers between us and both agreed they were absolutely brilliant. Food was served promptly, piping hot, and clearly made with a lot of care.

My wife and I visited this lovely bar and we were surprised at how nice it was. Food was great and very reasonable and they had a really good selection of craft beers. The staff, especially Pinky, were very friendly and helpful. We will be back here next time we visit Portrush.

Great atmosphere, good friendly staff, great food at reasonable price, craft 🍻 beers.

Very friendly and efficient staff. Food was good and at a reasonable price. Glad we found this place, recommended 👍

Nice atmosphere. We had a very good pizza. They had a unique pizza menu. Very good.

Was in Thursday 2nd May. While food is always good, the meal on Thursday was the best meal we’ve ever had at Kiwi’s. Wings were juicy and burgers cooked to perfection. Service, as always, was outstanding. Looking forward to our next visit!

Was in with a few of the boys for a stag at the weekend. Great atmosphere and the staff were fantastic

An absolute gem of a place to have a meal in, the food was absolutely stunning. Without a doubt will be coming back again, 6 stars if i could.

My first visit to Northern Island, and I decided to try this place out for dinner. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Plus the food was really good. They also provided a beer recommendation from a local brewery, which was equally delicious. Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner.

Class spot, couldn't recommend it enough

Excellent service and delicious pizza .. highly recommended 👍..Many thanks

A disappointing and overpriced establishment. The food was not very good, with the onion rings being raw in the middle. Would not recommend.

Good as a bar to watch a sporting event, but very very average meal.

Great wee pub with good choice of craft beers and very friendly staff ❤️☺️ Love to visit it for a pint, every time I'm in Portrush!

This place is an absolute gem. We went to a comedy night last weekend and had drinks before. Amazing atmosphere, down to earth staff. We usually get food but we arrived late..their food is absolutely amazing. Amazing spot

Love this bar for pizzas and wings! Family friendly, nice staff, and doesn’t cost a fortune! We always visit when in town and are never disappointed.

Really busy, but food arrived quickly and tastes amazing. Great beer and craic!. Definitely a must visit to the best bar in Portrush.

Went to get food , but needed I’d , no alcohol beverages where wanted just food !, no harm a joke was rude and all 20 year friend group looking food and needing to show id , it’s a joke . Don’t reccomend

Was ok. Then a musical duo turned up. They were excellent. Gonna give it 5 stars just for that. Staff friendly too. We ended up takin a goofy pic. Check it out. Evidence of fun.

Great bar, nice atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and lots of good whiskey (but not much whisky 😁). Well worth a visit in Portrush.

We are from Colorado. Best chicken tenders ever

Very welcoming place great atmosphere 👌

We had our daughters 9th birthday in kiwis and the play house today and it was brilliant. The staff couldn't have been more helpful with a particular mention for Kris and Pinky who made the day really special. The food was lovely, including providing for some of the children's dietary needs and the cinema was fantastic for an alternative kids party venue. Highly recommend.

Service slow,chicken wings overcooked,loaded fries drowned in Tabasco sauce. Chicken goujons really nice: not be back for food

Having spent the evening in Kiwi’s, I experienced the best service from the staff. The staff were up for the craic, very sociable and made a good pint of Maggies Leap. The decor of the venue provides a chill atmosphere. I’ve had the food before and it’s a solid 10/10. The music played provided a feel good atmosphere and the sport on the TV was great too. Central location and a great place to call for a tipple.

Great staff and a wide range of choices

The alcohol is great but some of the staff are rude.

The new wings are off the hook, bigger with loads of meat on the bone and very little gristle. The slight charring of the hot sauce on them adds a belter texture and taste. Accompanied by a Lacada beer and Liverpool on the big screen makes for a tidy evening. Staff as always warm and friendly 👊

Went in for kiwis wings, tried to phone ahead to make sure it was available, no ans, got there and there was no wings available, fine, they made the dish with chicken tenders which was nice enough £4 more expensive per serving but at the time I wasn’t overly bothered by it, we then ordered the footling hot dogs with salt and chilli fries. The hot dogs are use for nothing but the dogs dinner, greasy and no flavour, some soggy onions and some jam flavoured salsa. The salt&chilli fries were fries covered in chilli flakes and very large salt flakes, could clearly see it had been damp stored and was just large lumps of salt. The service was mediocre at best. The man that told me the wings were not available didn’t even look up from his phone and it felt like a hassle for the boy behind the bar to take our order. Not impressed at all, the meal alone was £60 which was ridiculously overpriced for what it was. Absolutely terrible place for food, I’m a local and won’t be returning.

The comedy night was terrible! Rubbish comedians and not enough seating and was forced to stand through the poor show. Dozens of people standing!

4 bar staff and only me waiting to be served or get eye contact for 5mins. A long time when waiting for a pint

Enjoyed our night. Bar staff great. Entertainer was good but could have had a personality...was a bit dull.

Unique location below the cinema. Great beer.

Great staff Best pizza in Portrush Guinness and craft beer are different gravy

Great wee bar with amazing food! Only came here to have a pint and then move on to a resturant for food. Had a look at the menu and decided to have food here. The food was amazing! So glad we stayed here for the food. Brilliant service and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back here next time we are in the port.

A cracking venue to watch the world cup rugby. A big screen with other smaller screens dotted around.

Excellent place, awesome staff and the food is super tasty as well!

Beer, food, rugby and a win for Ireland against Scotland in the World Cup. A great night.

Busy when we were there and the staff were very accommodating, sorting us out for seats

All good......Great spot for beer, wings and sport

Great venue. Staff so helpful and nothing an issue . Great music both nights . Fab pizza too . Thank you all

Lovely wee place, went here for some food and it was really good and the staff where very friendly.

Unfortunatelly, I can not understand the high rating. Burger was very regular, pizza as well.

Netter Pup, minimalistisch im Service, aber sonst eine nette Location, gerne wieder

Need to put kitchen opening times up online somewhere, disappointed we couldn't try and wings or loaded fries as they all looked good but kitchen was closed 😔 staff are all very friendly though nice chilled out atmosphere

Nice drink in nice surroundings.

Go for the atmosphere not for the portion size. Kids enjoyed their burgers. My dirty fries were less exciting.

The music and crowd was much better than other pubs we visited while in portrush.

Friendly staff .. Great service and good foods 😋 wings so good 👍👊 beers 💯

Cibo buono, pizza mi ha stupito, saporita, buona birre ottime, ambiente con musica dal vivo dalle 21.00 tutto sommato abbiamo mangiato bene.

Looking 50p for a dash of blackcurrant

Congratulations on winning pub of the year by the industry, no question why. Very great place for a family, friends, and to take a lovely date. Really thought they were friendly and welcoming.

I'm sorry to say but the food doesn't worth the rating on this app. Expect nothing than frozen food...

Nice cosy underground bar, ideal for sports and a light bite to eat

Great venue for music, fantastic whisky selection!

Très bon, service chouette et super ambiance. Sûrement l'un des endroits les plus vivant de la ville. Très bon rapport qualité prix.

Mega freundliches Personal, coole junge Typen. Durfte Bier testen vor der Bestellung. Essen war Okay. Die Pizzen sind ganz gut, genauso wie die Dirty Fries.

Cuisine de pub mais ambiance hyper sympa on a passe un super bon moment.

Lovely place, seemed to be short on staff, food was good, though a bit disappointed that with the bar's name there was a lack of New Zealand wine or anything. On saying that I would go again

Class spot for a couple pints and some grub

Food was really good in our group we had all different items. Kids Loved the pizza and our sandwich were tasty

Great selection of whiskeys. Fab service and the pizzas and burgers are great.

Nous avons attendu pas loin de 40 min 1 pizza et 1 hot-dog, et encore on a été leur rappeler qu'on avait pas notre commande. Service très long alors qu'ils n'ont pas beaucoup de table. Serveurs très lents.

Really good food. Fast service. Amazing atmosphere

Great food, great beers and great atmosphere

Popped in to watch a Euro 2024 qualifying game and enjoy a Guinness at £5.40. The only bar in the town showing the game. Probably why the others were almost empty? The bar was busy with most patrons enjoying food. Lot's of empty plates suggesting food was good. Makes me want to visit again for a meal.

With the bold claim of having the best bar food in portrush, we were feeling optimistic. However, the food was rubbish. The chicken goujons were dripping in oil, the salt and chilli chips had enough salt to cause a heart attack (see picture) and the “salad” as stated on the menu consisted of a singular piece of limp lettuce. Do not waste your time.

We love the Kiwi. Helpful happy staff too & the food is great 👍

Nice chaps serving, but hardly a craft pub. Three local taps from the same place (75 miles away) next to Guinness, Magners, Coors (!), and Tenent’s.
