How is The Port House rated?

Located at 64A South William Street this beautiful and solely candle lit wine cavern has been stripped back to its original features. As a traditional Spanish tapas bar it boasts a fantastic selection of authentic tapas. The Port House wine menu is varied and full of interesting wines, ports and sherries at a very reasonable price, carefully selected from Spanish and Portuguese regions. It is the ideal place for one to relax, enjoy some tapas with a glass of wine and soak up the ambiance that makes this spot a must try.

Brilliant restaurant highly recommended

Amazing food at this tapas restaurant. Staff are also wonderful. We arrived late after a concert just as the kitchen was closing but they agreed to keep it open and served us. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Filthy entrace, broken window covered in yellow and black tapee, not very inviting.

Sadly put off by the filth at the entrance, i went prior to eating to discuss the food options as i have various allergies. The femail member of staff i spoke to was very unhelpful. Decided best and safer not to eat there.

Great food, shockingly rude host!

We’ve been excited to try this place after hearing many good reviews from colleagues and friends. The food was fantastic, however the evening was spoilt by the (most likely Eastern European, judging by our similar accents) host, which was extremely rude, and dismissive, not only...to us but also other couple we’ve spoken to on the night that sat next to us. All in all good food but the host needs changing, as she clearly can’t coop with the pressure and fast pace of the place taking her frustrations on guests.More

Super celiac friendly, great food!

Stopped for Lunch while touring Dublin. Everything we ate was amazing and they were super celiac and gluten free friendly and aware. One of our best meals in Ireland - if you are gluten free, make sure to stop in here for some small plates...(and their incredible croquetas!)More

I could have been in Spain

I have been here so often and keep coming back as it has to one of my favourite restaurants in Dublin. I love the atmosphere, sitting outside in any weather, heaters on, music playing and I could be in south of Spain because the place...transports me to another world. Food always amazing, the wine and the service never disappoints. Thank you Eric for looking after me. What a lovely way to finish off Easter weekend. Breda Fahy (Galway Girl)More

Great for young kids and allergy friendly

Our family of four with young kids arrived for dinner at 5pm on a Tuesday and the place was already buzzing. The menu is extensive and full of delicious things, with more than enough for the most picky of children. Our 5 year old son...enjoyed the battered cod pieces and the plain potatoes. The restaurant was also great with our daughter’s milk and nut allergies. The manager went through the entire menu and circled the dishes that were suitable for her, and her food was cooked and delivered to the table separately from everyone else’s. My wife and I also loved our food, particularly the sliders and the chicken paella. All four of us had a delicious dinner and a great time at the restaurant.More

Good food and amazing service

First time I try this restaurant and will definetely come back. We had a nice table for 10 in a private room with only 4 tables. The atmosphere is lovely as well as the food. Really good wine for reasonable price. Our waitress (Mariana) was...fantastic, she provided an excellent service and was very attentive to all customers even though the restaurant was busy.More
