The Harbour Bar — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Whilst the bar is lovely the bistro is not. Over priced and not exceptional in any way. Staff are lovely but that’s it…

My daughter and grand kids were in portstewart for the weekend. Decided to go here as I remembered the steaks on the skewers that they used to do. Was surprised to find that they no longer did these but thought we would stay anyways. Ordered two burgers, two sides (extra) a kids meal, a pint of Guinness, a large coke and a dilute juice for the two grandkids… whilst the food was nice it was nothing to write home about. Having been in the ramore next door and thinking that’s the standard to expect, we were so looking forward to our meal here. We were so disappointed, it was a basic burger on a brioche bun with tobacco onions, no dressing or anything and the side was extra. The kids meal was also disappointing, whilst the goujons were proper chicken it was still not good value for money - £8.95 for kids dinner, no drink and no dessert which we assumed were included - no the cake and ice cream was an extra £2.95. In essence It cost us £67 for two burgers n a kids meal with drinks, not good value for a family dinner out in my eyes …

I wandered upstairs to the second level where it was a huge space and had plenty of big screen TVs for the golf. I found the place to be very comfortable and great views of the water.

The young guy at the second level bar was nice but a bit of an airhead (the drink was £11 and I handed him £20, he stood waiting for more money and ummmmmmm didn’t I give you a 20? He seemed clueless about the money) We had a laugh but prob a good idea to know what the local money looks like!

The top level of this place was an amazing view but it was Sunday afternoon and the bar was not open. Has more of a night feel.

It’s a fantastic building and I...
