The Cellar Bar in Coleraine

Quaint locale to get a pint but the food (or margherita pizza at least) is essentially cheese and a bit of suace on some dough (if home made, perhaps Lidl frozen ready)? American football on TV and that was it, we're out!

The steak was great, tender and juicy. fish and chips was lovely too. nice ambiance.

Went in to get fish and chips. We had already ordered drinks (the coke was poured from a 2ltr bottle completely flat) The waitress then came and told us there was just one fish left so we said ‘it didn’t matter we will just pay for the drinks and go eat elsewhere’. The waitress then went over to the other staff and said ‘Why couldn’t they just order something else’ in a rude loud way. I wasn’t going to leave a review but I had made a complaint with no response. I feel the attitude we received was disgusting. And after reading these reviews I’m so glad we didn’t eat here.

Walk in off the street, did not book accompanied by my wife and three children. I must say candidate for Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares. My wife and I both ordered Chicken Goujons with Chips, which was billed separately. The ploy was advertise Chicken Goujons at the door for £10.95 to discover the additional £4.50 when you have ordered drinks and settled. The 5 flat Goujons arrived with bland coating, half a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. I’m sure birdseye would have rejected these from the factory. The chips were tasteless and the chicken had the consistency of rubber. My three children ordered 4oz burgers, obviously not fresh, rubber and tasteless. Trust me waste of £60. Service was good and staff pleasant.

Terrible experience with this restaurant. food not cooked at the restaurant. Pizza was like from Lidle shop just heated. . Fish was same, chips from bags not eatable. Waiting one dish ages to served. Apple juice was like cider and was served to 10 year old childe. when complained about it manager try to tell what bubbles in glass is normal for apple juice . when I told what normal for cider but not for juice, he told yes cider made from apple juice. They still charged me for this juice-cider. never will back to this place, terrible place, not recommending at all to anybady

Service was good. Good choice available on menu. Food was tasty and portions were good. Clean, tidy and well presented. Price was ok.

We visited the Cellar bar- three adults and one child. We had been here a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we had a completely different experience. Firstly, it’s £4 for a side of garlic fries. No sides come with the mains. When the ‘garlic fries’ come out they were just horrible frozen chips with some garlic over them. Then my pasta come out cold. Clearly they put it in the microwave a min before bringing it back out. My mum ordered soup of the day. The wheaten bread that they brought her out was stale. We sent that back. They brought out more wheaten bread which was freezing cold. It was clearly just brought out of the freezer and defrosted. When we went to the bar we were asked was everything ok. We were honest and told the lady behind the bar that we weren’t really happy with the quality of the food. She said she would get the manager to talk to us. The manager come out and we again told him what we weren’t happy with. His response was to my mum in a sarcastic manner ‘well did you eat the wheaten bread?’. He was very aggressive in his tone and just dismissed everything. Didn’t try to apologise or try and rectify the situation. He just got the card machine. He was holding the card machine as my mum was trying to put in the pin and trying to pressurise her to use contactless. She was asking him could she hold the card machine as he had her stressed with his attitude and she couldn’t remember the pin. He kept pulling the machine off her and was arrogant and aggressive. Honestly I have never come across a manager like it. He left my mum upset and shaken. So rude. We will never be back and I urge no one else to waste their money there.

Family of 3 with a 2 year old struggling to get in anywhere in Portrush due to being peak dinner time during a busy & sunny weekend. Not a problem getting a table here though which now makes sense. We had 2 mains and a kids meal with a couple of drinks. My wife and I both had the carbonara. Easily the poorest carbonara we've had in any restaurant. So bland! Our 2 year old had the standard sausage and chips which is hard to mess up and there were no complaints there. Portion of onion rings which also weren't good. It was expensive for such low end grub and a couple of drinks. Staff were all very pleasant and it was a clean place. But food let it down completely I'm afraid.

Visited this place with my husband, 11 year old son and 20 year old daughter. After ordering wine my daughter decided she would like a glass of wine therefore I asked the waiter for another glass. Within 2 minutes a man came and to say he embarrassed my daughter would be an understatement, asked her for her identification which she produced. He then proceeded to check out her I.D like she was going through customs. The bar staff sat behind the bar laughing and whispering throughout our meal. The food was average at best, duck spring rolls out of a packet and the chili pasta was not great. Had no cream or garlic in it as I cook this dish regularly. I would never visit this place again due to the staff sniggering and laughing. My daughter was mortified and was quite embarrassed throughout our meal and upon leaving. Only restaurant I have ever visited where I have not left a tip. Poor service and poor food .

The food was average and more expensive than other pubs places in town. The waitress was very sarcastic which did not always come across as funny, and she kept going outside to smoke....

The staff are polite and very helpful food is lovely. Cant wait to return. Room were clean and tidy. Breakfast was one of the best I have had.

Eight of us had dinner and deserts in the hotel. Food was beautiful and large portions. Service was very efficient and the staff were very friendly. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Would highly recommend and will certainly visit again.

Loved it in here. popped in to see the menu stayed for dinner. Guinness was of excellent quality, as always staff were soooo polite and helpful - tired bar area but blends with the character of the place. Hotel looked very nice and took on a different atmosphere - more boutique loved it

I went to to port Hotel with my girlfriend and ordered a bottle of wine while I waited for a table. The staff were very unapproachable and eventually we got served after around 30minutes. I ordered the lasagne and my girlfriend ordered a chicken burger. This came quite quickly. After 3 or 4 bites of my lasagne I realised there was a hair in my mouth. I was slightly shocked but carried on with my meal. My girlfriend then cut her burger and gave me half. I noticed another hair in the burger and called a waitress over to witness me pulling the hair out. She looked shocked and said she would take the burger away and get us a new one. Meanwhile I continued to eat my lasagne and wedges and suddenly realised there was ANOTHER hair in my mouth inside one of the wedges. I spat it out and felt sick immediately. I spoke to an extremely rude manager who told me I was 'silly' for feeling sick and we definitely had to pay for the wine which I had asked to be complimentary. He then threatened to call the police and also stated none of his chefs had hair the length I had suggested I had pulled out of my mouth. Absolutely disgusting. Never ever go here!!

We visited The Port for Sunday lunch today. From the moment you enter you are made to feel welcome and the staff cannot do enough for you. I had the stuffed pork which was delicious and the portions are amazing for the price. Service is excellent and waitresses are all so friendly. Especially Jackie, who is excellent with my son Tyler and he was delighted that she remembered him from our visits last summer! She even gave him a lolly on our way out :) Would definitely recommend The Port for eating in or even drinking in, the atmosphere is excellent.

We stopped here for lunch having not been here before but I was impressed. The waitress was lovely, really good with my toddler who wasn't happy at being stuck in a high chair! She even gave us a tub to take my daughters leftovers home in. We had the roast dinner with beef and it was gorgeous. Nicely presented and it tasted great! The wait wasn't too long either. Would definitely go here again for a feed.

Were made welcome from minute walked in the door. Staff friendly and helpful, food was very good and reasonably priced, definitely visit again.

Sólo nos alojamos aquí por una noche, pero nos quedamos muy contentos con nuestra estancia. Las habitaciones estaban muy limpias y aunque eran básicas, estaban decoradas bien y todo lo que usted necesita. El personal era servicial y amable. No comimos en el hotel, pero el bar/restaurante parecía bastante concurrido. Me volvería a alojar allí si yo estaba en la zona por su buena relación calidad-precio.

Este es, de lejos, el bar más amable de Portrush. El personal van mucho más allá de la norma para que todo el mundo que visitas sentirse genial. Me encantan los cócteles y también la comida. calidad brillante brillante y servicio a precios siempre rápido y profesional. Los resplandescientes seguir haciendo lo que están haciendo y yo veré a todos pronto. Gracias.

Staff were very friendly. Room was very clean. Bed was cosy and comfortable. Good selection for breakfast which was delicious.

The good was good and very plentiful. The price was reasonable. The décor was interesting. I would each there again - and again.

i came here with my family for some quick lunch, i have to say the staff were great an d lunch was lovely. however the reason for my rating is that we came back a few days later to be told "no seats sorry" it wasn't the fact there was no seats, it was the manner in which we were told. Anyway it was the weekend of the airshow and they were probably under pressure so i gave them a by ball.

Called in for lunch menu was basic but my partner ordered chicken burger with chips and I ordered roast pork. Staff were not overly nice too busy leaning over the bar talking to eachother and chewing gum. When the food arrived I got roast beef?! And my partners burger was very greasy when we paid it turned out the side of chips was charged separately (how can a burger on its own be classed as lunch plus at £8.95 you would assume the chips were included and not an additional side order charge on top) also couldn't drink my drink as the glass tasted so strongly of dishwasher fluid felt like a real waste of money for all it was could of got as good if not better from a chip shop at a quarter of the price

great laugh , crazy Dave is the karaoke man and you will be very entertained lol , also a great place to eat and not expensive, you need to get there early so you can get a seat.

Vine aquí el miércoles para la cena que había pedido un filete de medio, que vino a mí muy bien hecho. Tardó una media hora para comer la carne sola. Mi compañero había pedido lasaña y dijo que era muy bonita, aunque el col estaba amarga. Así que cuando el chico vino a preguntar cómo nuestra comida fue mi compañero había dicho que para él la col sabía o fue hecho con una crema agria. El chico respondió a él en decir 'yo sé que no estoy muy interesado en que yo mismo, para ser honesto". Luego dijo que iba a preguntar, el chef hizo con crema agria y nos evitamos durante unos 10 minutos y luego a la izquierda la cuenta y dijo gracias por dejarnos saber sobre la col. No volveremos aquí

Our server Jackie was lovely, great food! open in the day time unlike most other restaurants in this area, can't say a bad thing about it.

El personal amable y atento pero tuve que esperar 50 minutos para nuestra comida y cuando fuimos hacía frío y tuvimos que devolverlo,. Fue devuelto 10 minutos más tarde y había sido recalentadas en el microondas no es bueno para el huevo frito en la cima de la sobresaliente. La comida era razonable, pero sin duda no vale la pena la espera. Cuando pagamos la factura no nos ofrecieron un descuento. Pido al personal lo que era el problema y me dijo que no tenían suficiente personal y tenía grandes dificultades para reclutar en Portrush. Es lamentable pero que podría haber sido dijeron que me espera y entonces podría haber decidido esperar o no. Si va a visitar preguntar cuánto tiempo tomará su comida si tienes prisa como estancia claro

Have ate here various times and stayed over once. Food is great.. there is something on the menu to suit everyone. Will be back

Just spent a lovely weekend at The Port Hotel. The Food is BRILLIANT, all our party thoroughly enjoyed every bite. - Thanks you Port - Service is super, fast and friendly - give it a go, you wont be dissappointed.

Decent clean and friendly hotel on Main Street. The rooms are a little tired but the place is relaxing and comfortable with a homely feeling with a good bar on the premises and you are smack bang in the middle of Portrush

Visited here with my boyfriend after a day in Coleraine. Food and service was great and steak was cooked to perfection.

Had an enjoyable evening. Crazy Davy great DJ and Karaoke host. Had dinner which was good value and decent food

The food was nothing to write home about, served by a bar man on a table that was just pulled out from the wall. Then again I have had worse

Hemos comido aquí unas cuantas veces cuando hemos visitado Portrush. Cada vez que hemos comido aquí, la comida ha sido genial y por un precio razonable. El servicio siempre es rápido y el personal es amable y servicial. Estoy seguro de que lo haremos la próxima vez que estemos en Portrush!!

Excellent service, friendly lovely staff and the food is great. The fire is usually lit an the atmosphere is chilled and cosy. Would recommend this place above anywhere else in Portrush.

Nos gusta el ambiente cálido y acogedor. La chimenea es muy acogedor. Es un gran pequeño lugar para tomar una copa o algo de comer. Es muy concurrido los sábados pero un poco bastante durante la semana. El personal es muy amable. La comida es buena. Vale la pena una visita

Al estar en el seguimiento, paré en el Port Hotel algo para comer. El personal era muy servicial y, en general, una tranquila zona profesional. La comida que yo pedí era de primera clase y un muy buen oscuro camarero pelo oscuro fue muy amable y educado, asegurarse de que todo estaba bien. Si no has probado el Port Hotel, los insto a que lo pruebes, se sorprenderá del servicio y comida encantadora. Volvería sin dudarlo.

Been here many times lovely staff very friendly food good wouldn't stay anywhere else I no it's not 5* but ur not paying 5* prices but u Defoe get 5 * service wit the staff will b back for at least another 2 weekends before the end of the year bigto all the staff

awww such a lovely friendly pub/restaurant come here every time.....just to pester one guy to make my cocktails cause they are damn fine :-)..great atmosphere for kids when it was getting a bit loud on other parties the bouncer made them leave defo no faults with the port..........

Demasiadas personas fumar tabaco de VAP y los vapores era nauseabundo, he desarrollado un dolor de garganta y se quejaron, incluso cuando salí para los fumadores aire fresco de nicotina en la puerta me dejaron con dolor de cabeza. Lo que podría haber sido una buena noche se arruinó por todos los tipos de fumadores. Estancia es una opción mejor.

The set menu is OK if a little basic. The surroundings aren't overly fussy and the serving staff are nice and pretty quick with everything. OK if you haven't got an alternative.

El Port Hotel es un hotel encantador en el centro de todo. La habitación estaba en el 2° piso y era práctico para no tener que subir un montón de escaleras. El desayuno era precioso. Desayuno inglés completo. La playa está a sólo unos minutos a pie.

I like the layout of the bar and the standard of drinks. Stay away from any food done in breadcrumbs. Very soggy.

We have ate in here a few times and it never fails 2 impress , the food is lovely and a 1/4 of the price great crack on a sat nyt

Nos alojamos en Portrush para par de noches por nuestro aniversario. Encontramos este lugar por accidente mientras buscando un lugar para comer. Ambiente muy agradable en familia. camarera no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros, muy hablador y amable. Ambos fuimos para el campo 3. La comida no podía haber sido mejor. nos sopa y pan de ajo para empezar. Para los platos principales mi marido tenía la carne asada y había un montón de cosas. (él no nos pide el cerdo de cosas, pero cuando llegamos se alegraba carne lo hizo él no quería cambiar). Fui por el tagliatelle. excelentes, aunque la mía podría haber hecho con poco menos queso y más de salsa, pero eso es a gusto. Para pudding teníamos appie pastel y crema pastelera y Pavlova. No me puedo quejar la cena y sobre todo por el precio. £13,95 para los 3 campos. Después de la cena la mayoría de la gente se había terminado y la izquierda así que nos cambiamos en frente del fuego. esp adorable ya que había mucho viento y wet fuera. Me podría haber quedado allí toda la noche jaja. Ambiente muy relajante. Ambos nos preguntábamos que no habíamos encontrado este lugar antes. Sin duda volveremos.

Si prefiere tomar una pinta de cerveza tranquila lejos del bullicio y ajetreo de Portrush, este es el lugar para ir. En la calle principal al lado del Play House cine, es un pequeño bar tranquilo, que tiene música en vivo los fines de semana. Prefiero ir aquí durante el día, aunque, cuando puede tener una pinta tranquila y relajarse.

Yo he visitado el Port Hotel un número de veces, para bebidas y comidas.

No me alojé en el hotel, ya que estaba completamente lleno pero no ir allí cada noche para la cena. La comida es fantástica y no podía creer los precios. Tienen un menú que hacen de 5 pm a 8 pm. Pruebe el asado. Había carne asada y fue £12.95 por una cena de 3 platos. También tuve el pescado cena de 3 platos es £13,95 y bacalao, pero es grande. Mi esposa también tiene los tagliatelle. El servicio es increíble y el personal no puede hacer más por ti. El gran problema con este lugar es que hay tanta comida que pueden no ser capaces de terminar. Es muy relajado y tranquilo, pero el servicio es eficiente y muy educado, genial de hecho.

Comimos aquí hoy y nos sirvió dos señoras muy útiles que no pudo hacer más por nosotros. Las comidas eran todos preciosos, hamburguesas de pollo con cuñas, bistec y un bocadillo y raciones eran enormes. El servicio también era genial, tuvimos que esperar unos 15 minutos para nuestra comida que creo que era lo suficientemente razonable esperar! Hemos estado aquí en el pasado y disfrutamos demasiado pero el personal de hoy (una señora con pelo corto y oscuro ocasiona una chica) hicieron que nuestra experiencia y lo mejor. Un crédito para el restaurante!

Comimos aquí 2 noches durante una reciente estancia en Portrush.

Went into the bar whilst staying in the hotel. Had a beautiful meal and very good entertainment. Staff were very friendly and will definitely be back!

Comimos en el bar durante su estancia en el hotel.

Durante el lunes de Pascua visita a Portrush tuvimos una comida aquí.

Acabamos de disfrutar otra excelente comida en el puerto. Portrush tiene unas buenas lugares para comer pero con un servicio amable y confortable ambiente y buena comida, el Port Hotel es de lo mejor. mi compañero y yo nos llevaron a una mesa el camarero y tomó nota enseguida que llegamos casi al instante debido a la nueva computadora extravagante pidiendo que tienen. Después de mirar el menú opté por el cóctel de gambas mientras mi compañero tenía alas de buffalo. Ambos eran muy sabroso y nos preparó para el plato principal. Tuve la lasaña con patatas fritas con ajo mientras él tenía los tomar solomillo con patatas fritas y salsa de pimienta. Los dos principales estaban deliciosos. Mi compañero declaró que su carne era "perfecta"! Después de una pequeña persuasión desde nuestro camarero ( bueno, eso es mi excusa) terminamos con Pavlova y chocolate fudge cake. así como una excelente comida, nuestro camarero era muy amable y atento. Nos hizo sentir como VIPs desde que entramos en el comedor hasta que nos fuimos. Sin duda volveré a comer aquí. Gracias por una noche estupenda.

Sólo una rápida revisión de decir que hemos estado caminando pasado este pub durante años, pero nunca nos aventuramos dentro hasta hace poco. Nos dirigimos nuestra normal Haunt, el bar del puerto para atendería pinta, pero estaba atestado. Así que decidimos probar el puerto - fue fantástica, una bienvenida y una mejor pinta ... Ver foto adjunta como prueba!

My family had Sunday lunch here in November 2012.Initial impressions were good, there was a nice open fire and this was welcome on a cold and wet day, we initially had coffee and this was well presented and pleasant. We were the only people in the entire restaurant.Two of us had the Rump steak which was OK but nothing special, however my 13 year old son opted for a sirloin steak and this is where the problems began.My son had just got his steak and I asked him if I could taste it, I immediately had to spit it out as the meat was clearly off and had a pungent smell and taste, it was not that the meat wasn't cooked - it was definitely off. We asked the (very helpful) waitress to look at it and she agreed that it was off, she was quite embarrassed by the situation and offered to replace the steak, some time later a new steak (which was satisfactory) arrived, but by this stage his chips etc were cold and the rest of us had finished our food. I asked to speak to the manager and was told that he was off, then I asked to see the chef but he would not come out to see us.The waitress did not charge us for the sirloin steak but I was still very unhappy so she took my business card and promised to get the manager to contact me ASAP. The waitress could not have been more apologetic and we can't fault her at all.Late that evening I was violently ill from food poisoning, this continued throughout the night and I was unable to go to work the next day (I am self employed so this is pretty rare)When I was eventually able to get up I checked my phone as I fully expected to have had a call from the Port Hotels manager - but he had not contacted me.I then called him and he claimed to know nothing about the incident, his attitude was extremely arrogant and pompous and he refused to accept my story, despite the fact that the waitress had agreed with us that the steak was off. He even asked me why neither my son nor the waitress had noticed that the steak was off before I tasted it! We reported the incident to Environmental health, but predictably enough they had their house in order by the time the inspection was done.I have had no reply from the hotel manager and no explanation or apology of any sort, so far as he is concerned this did not happen.No wonder this is the lowest rated Hotel in Portrush - never again will I darken its doors.

At the Air Show in Portrush call into the Port Hotel for Lunch very good value for money the Pinot Grigio was a delight to drink all four of us had a very enjoyable meal. The staff were very attentive and gave us a very warm welcome. Go On Give It A Try

The service was ok, staff was friendly enough. Dislike the bar and the restaurant, appeared to be unclean, the food was also unsatisfying to say the least. Would not recommend it to anyone and certainly will not be back.
