Food is excellent, some of the best I had in Ireland. Entertainment was the best I heard in Ireland and I went to many places with live music. Service was fast and super efficient. Try the 13 beer on tap.

Sorry, not sure. I would also suggest checking the website; maybe there is an email option to contact someone at the restaurant.

Description
We opened "The Porterhouse Gastropub" in the height of the recession in December 2011, year on year business has continued to grow. We pride ourselves in serving good pub grub accompanied with live music. We have a full bar, which is known to be a lively spot on the weekends. We offer live music 7 nights a week - all year round. If you are looking for a quiet fine dining meal in a restaurant environment, we aren't the place for you.
