The Anchor Bar Complex in Coleraine

Good and kind staff, nice clean rooms,

I used to drink in here when I was younger, but over the years, it's changed so much. None of the locals don't bother to drink here anymore.

Staff were very friendly and helpful Food was delicious

Very nice bar although a little dark in places. Warm and friendly amd the staff were very attentive. The food was really lovely and we all enjoyed our meal. Will be back.

Asked us to leave after some random group accused us of trying to steal an older woman’s purse, we are teenage lads looking for a night out, and easy targets of manipulation. These bouncers believed these false allegations and assaulted me over a table. I will be contacting my solicitor for footage of the night to review and consult about the events of tonight and see about further action. Please stay away and save yourself a headache. It benefits no lad to be falsely accused for no reason other than a group of females not wanting you out of the location. They (bouncer and female customer) then tried to convince my girlfriend of 3 year that I was trying to take the purse off a random older woman, too which she obviously thought was lies.

Stayed two nights. Great room, friendly staff. The room is a bit of a challenge in the hotel and something could be done about the noise, but other than that we slept well. Had an excellent meal two evenings in the pub next door. Nice staff.

The Anchor Bar is a lovely place for a relaxing drink, you can stay there as well if you so wish, we didn't need too. There is a lovely atmosphere in it and the staff are friendly and courteous..

Stayed 1 night. 8th sept 24. Room not ready at booking in time. Lovely receptionist made us a coffee. No hot water so unable to shower after our travelling. Not informed of this on arrival. Water was fixed by the morning. Some toiletries not in the room. Our bottom sheet on the bed was too small, so came off the mattress. All the staff were very nice.

Great for a few nights away prime location although the view is a bit obscured by the buildings opposite.

We really enjoyed the setting, the food and the service here. We had sea bass and haddock. Both are cooked very superbly in a white herb sauce. Mine came with spinach and asparagus, very good. Hubby had irish champ, a kind of mashed potato. He liked it.

4.5 - seafood chowder was amazing!

Stopped for dinner, was decent enough

Another wonderful experience in The Anchor. We visit the bar most times we are in the area and have had a flawless experience each and every time.

Terrible service in the restaurant. Food quality was very good but let down by the lack of experience from waitress 's. Morning breakfast was also poor.

Lovely pub with a good atmosphere. Extremely popular in NW200 week with good entertainment. Sponsor of main race 2024

Nice hotel and lovely food very friendly and helpful staff

Food was delicious. Service fast and friendly .

Would regularly go to this bar, can’t fault staff they are normally fantastic tonight after three rounds which each time came to £21.30 was then charged for the same round for £25 to discover that they were watered down drinks - complained to the bar member who served me who turned out to be the manager - so rude - what a dampener for what had been a lovely evening.

Excellent service and food. Great value

Food was great and the service was amazing . Went in as walk In and got seats in the restaurant. Think we got there at a good time. Will be back and would highly recommend trying.

Great meal here after a few hours walking around Portstewart. Lovely staff and food to match

We had a great stay in the Anchorage really friendly staff, and especially Mo at breakfast who really looked after us. The Anchorage is a great place to stay in the beautiful town of Portstewart

Excellent service and food, staff are very friendly and attentive. It's well worth a visit if you're in the area

Only visited the bar. Was a nice ambiance. Someone was playing music. It was fun.

We booked it last minute, got a really good price and the room was top quality. All the staff were excellent, bar prices were reasonable, food was good and prices reasonable. They had music on (it was a Tuesday night) and the bar was quite busy. Can't complain about anything, other than 11am checkout but that is standard now for everywhere. Will definitely be back.

Was in today for meal with friends great meal well serviced lovely place will be returning soon

Good bar meal on bank Holiday Monday when restaurant was closed

Went for lunch was excellent had a few drinks watched the footy had a great day would recommend it to anyone 👍

Reflection on rating was due to prices Visited for Northwest 200, Tuesday had a lovely meal and drinks, visited again on Thursday drink prices had increased

Popular bar and restaurant, drinks prices average for location, great food

I stopped in for dinner while staying at the Anchorage Inn. Quaint and charming restaurant. The service was good and the food was extremely good! Reasonably priced food and drinks!

Never had a bad meal in the anchor. Have visited the anchor during the NW200 for nearly 15 years. Always receive a warm welcome from the staff. Food is always excellent, Guinness is good too. Great spot!

Beautiful food Great atmosphere You need to visit here

Absolutely beautiful food... friendly staff.. love visiting here from time to time😋

Didn't stay over,just had a meal,average hotell prices,good food

Fantastic food and atmosphere, was recommended by a few people and they were 100% spot on. Will definitely be coming again during my stay in Portstewart

Lovely hotel friendly staff and beautiful food

Absolutely fabulous atmosphere, excellent service characterised by politeness and fastness. Made the 6 nations experience excellent! 🍻

Very friendly staff and bar staff excellent. Clean and tidy hotel had a great time, entertainment was excellent also with a live band.

Brilliant bar, good crowd at the weekend, food is loveley. Live music and plenty of room to dance. Age is from 18 till over 60 so everyone welcome

Let's just say this place not worth the visit. It has way to many faults including rude staff and so called fire doors with a gap around frame

Called in for some lunch, very reasonably priced and very nice food, would recommend.

Only downside of our stay was the club was closed early, but we had a brilliant day/night.

Usually lively at weekends/evenings. Drink prices are moderate for the area, and the food has taken a real turn for the better over the past couple of years.

Had an overnight stay here just after Christmas. We booked a table in the restaurant. Our meal was great but the service was shocking. It started well with drinks and main course. Our plates were cleared, and after sitting for over 20 minutes, I had to go to the bar and ask for a desert menu. After another 15 minutes or so, I again had to go to the bar and ask to place an order. The restaurant wasn't packed out by any stretch of the imagination.

A fab pub, clean and comfortable! Worth popping in, if you're in the area.

Staff were amazing with the best food (much better and cheaper than harbour bistro). I have to say the beef and Guinness pie was a must have with crispy garlic fries. The dessert was lovely too with yummy brownie and vanilla ice cream. The whole place was wheelchair accessible in both entrances.

Nice cosy bar with a fireplace to keep warm. Good service and a good lunt of Guiness.

Stopped for a drink, lovely friendly place.

Thanks to u all that mention myself, Michelle as a receptionist. I’m overwhelmed how much thanks and gratitude you all gave me. But I know longer work there. I will treasure all your fond memories and the craic we all had. And hopefully, dare I say we will hopefully meet again soon. Thank you all for the memories and the bonds we shared for the short we got to engage with each other. Take care all of u, and hopefully we shall all meet again somewhere soon 😜

We had the seabass, but we were not happy with it...

Nourriture excellente, accueil chaleureux, le bar est bien fourni et les serveurs à l'écoute. Le tout pour un prix raisonnable. Ne pas hésiter à s'arrêter!

Went for lunch, good menu, good food, staff very nice, good prices. Will be going back.

Excellent service very good indeed will be back.

Great local hotel. The restaurant and pub onsite is great with plenty of options in walking distance

Friendly great atmosphere great staff food was delicious was that good we went back the next day

Food is Fantastic!!!! Passing through Portstewart or vacationing there one place not to miss is The Anchor Bar !!! Food is outstanding!!! Freshly prepared and is delicious!!! Try the Guinness beef pie !!! It's delicious!!!!

Booked for dinner in the Inn at 6pm on Saturday with the hope of going next door to bar after for drinks. It was very busy. The staff were nice. We had 5 and the table was a bit small but when a group didn't show up, they moved us to a bigger table which was perfect. The food was lovely and they had 2 for £10 cocktails. £140 for 5 mains and a cocktail each so good value. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for out night out as the bar was too busy.

We had a lovely quite night. Beds exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast excellent. Reception staff polite and helpful.

Great location, very friendly staff and delicious food

Lovely friendly staff, and delicious food. I prefer to eat here when ever I'm up on the North Coast as I'm never disappointed!

Great time celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary ❤

Served very quickly, lovely food. Nice environment, not overcrowded. Would definitely go back

We go for food regularly . Great Breakfast for £7 .

After have a flight cancelled for a holiday to malaga we decided a few days away was better than nothing. Booked into anchor on Wed and from word go we were knew made the right choice with the anchor from reception staff to bar, restaurant staff can't fault it. One of most friendly places I have stayed. nothing to much hassle for the staff

we ate at the anchorage almost every day. Food was amazing and the staff was very courteous. Do remember to go before 9 pm though.

Fantastic rooms Breakfast very good

Food was great, service was great, especially from Michelle who made sure to accommodate us above and beyond. Every hospitality business could use a Michelle!

Bit dated looking, but clean, good food and good service.

They had Trad music on Wednesday which was excellent but bizarrely had many TV screens on at the same time showing some dodgy channel 4 film which was very distracting.

Only went for food it was amazing

Just stopped in for food and have to say absolutely fantastic, I had the chicken and wife had the beef, both done to perfection

Lack of bar staff. There was only 3 on and 1 of them was only servicing women only.

Good food .nice atmosphere...service a bit slow

Called in on my own for a quick bite to eat. The whole complex was very busy with happy eaters and drinkers. Well impressed with the food and service. Nothing was any trouble for my server Alison. Will be back again for a more leisurely dinner.

Me and my girlfriend came here for a meal in late June the food was delicious and a very nice atmosphere in the bar we will definitely go back when we can

Schönes irisches Pub mit Livemusik.

Apart from the £5.30 for a pint of Guinness, it was rather pleasent. Cept I had had a better pint a 1/2 hour previous in the Clyde Tavern in Coleraine for £4.00 dead.

Dinner was exceptional withe the price very reasonable.

Have been several times and never disappointed. Food is great and staff could not do enough for their customers. One of my favourite places

Lovely bar great food and staff very pleasant

Was great 👍 bar feel to it. Food and service was excellent 👌 👍 😋

Two visits now. First was a disaster, as a local 'character' started to annoy ours and next door's tables. I had to have a word with the staff about it... twice! Was also way overcharged for two drinks as the young person serving didn't seem to have a baldies about pricing. All in all, it is a decent place with decent food. Though staff could do with a bit more training.

Friendly bar with open fire, restaurant and night club. Most of the older staff replaced - mistake.

Déjeuner très bon, accueil super merci les irlandais

They offered us a discount on the room which was brilliant, but failed to tell us the music would be blasting down below till 2am, its aswell I didn't book with the kids in tow, or I would ha e had to leave, I think this is really important information they should supply when anyone is booking, especially for families and pensioners etc, up your game Anchorage

.me and the partner had fish an chips , my partner thought the chips were hard I thought they were ok had apint off Coke each hole thing came to £47. 0dds, which I thought a bit expensive for fish an chips,, service was great fast an efficient

We had food here on Easter Monday. It wasn’t too busy when we entered so we got a table easily, although by the time we were leaving it was a lot busier. Staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much effort. Food came really quickly and was warm, fresh and tasty. I got the panko chicken goujons with garlic chips and a garlic mayo dip. It was really tasty. Every one else who I was with also enjoyed their meals. Only negative was the toilets.. the men’s had no paper towels and the hand drier wasn’t working. Apart from that we really enjoyed our visit here and will be back.

Wir haben hier 3 Mal gegessen und waren sehr zufrieden. Preis/Leistung stimmt hier

Lovely and friendly staff and the food was good too

Used to love this place but unless you are going to the nightclub don't bother now. Woken in middle of night by fire alarm, went downstairs but only staff member was uninterested so seems regular occurance. Paid over £200 & expected good nights sleep! Definitely not recommended on a weekend night

Told over the phone that you didn't have to book in for the bistro. Me and my girlfriend then got inside the building to then be told you needed to arrange a booking over the phone. Poor communication and service 👏👏

Great lunch time specials. Beautiful food. Great atmosphere

Lovely place with friendly staff

New menu is fantastic, just what we need when feeling the pinch of winter expenses. Some of the prices of food on the Causeway Coast are ridiculous, this menu offers a good variety of decent meals for under a tenner. The lasagne hasn't changed thankfully in all the years I've been coming here, still delicious and even the simple things like the big chips are cooked well no half cooked ones in the middle, the garlic bread made with actual real garlic butter - also delicious! Veggie curry & the burger were also well received. Service with a smile from friendly efficient servers. 👌

2018 gelogeerd daar.goede bedden,service .ontspannen biertje aan de bar . De zee om de hoek voor een lekkere frisse wandeling l

Great bar, stay away from Jackie though!!

We had a meal and a few drinks in the front bar looked after by the very helpful Nigel, our meals were excellent and have no hesitation recommending the Anchor bar for food or drinks.

Montra bar staff night out, food was excellent really good value and very tasty, service 1st class both bar and restaurant

Beautiful food and staff were all so pleasant and helpful…nothing was to much trouble 5 ⭐️
