The Porterhouse - Athlone

This bar located across from Mercy Hospital on Sheares Street is fantastic. It has a cool atmosphere with attentive and friendly staff. The bar offers a wide variety of Craft Beers for beer enthusiasts like myself. The staff was happy to provide samples and were knowledgeable about the beers. The food at the in-house restaurant, The Holy Cow, is amazing. Their BBQ dishes are incomparable to anywhere else in Cork. The chef there was reportedly trained by Jamie Oliver. Be sure to ask for Lauren and mention Tadhg sent you!

It was pouring rain, so we decided to seek shelter at Porterhouse for dinner. What a delightful surprise! The meal was fantastic, and the wait staff was very friendly. A lovely place to dine!

This restaurant is fantastic - great food, great atmosphere, and a wide selection of drinks. The food is cooked to perfection and comes from the nearby holy smoke restaurant. Don't miss out on the opportunity to dine here and make the most of your time.

We called here for a drink and a board outside stated a Cocktails for euro offer. It transpired that they were gin cocktails which was fine however when we went to order we were told they weren't doing them as fever tree...tonic was not in stock. I said that was ok and that another tonic would be fine however still no offer. They then advised that they had no blackberries or ginger to make the drink or many other cocktails. I ordered a Singapore sling, which was listed as a long drink but was served in a Martini glass. This cocktail was also poor.

Called for a drink after a meal Coz we had heard lots about the place. What a joke, it was early on a Saturday night so no excuse. They were out of most craft beers, except for Guinness, Murphy's or Heineken! My wife drinks Gin,...they had types but none were Cork ffs then to top it off they had no sparkling water or slimline in the place. What a waste of of my life.
