The Anchor Complex Portstewart: Your Ultimate Destination for Food, Music & Accommodation

anchor_edited.png

Welcome to the heart of the North Coast. Established in 1898, The Anchor Complex has been a cornerstone of Portstewart’s vibrant social scene for over a century. Today, we are proud to offer a complete "one-stop shop" for entertainment, combining the traditional charm of a Victorian pub with award-winning dining, contemporary accommodation, and the coast’s premier nightclub.

Whether you are a local regular, a tourist exploring the Giant’s Causeway, or part of a corporate group, our family-run complex offers a warm, professional welcome and an atmosphere that is second to none.

Everything You Need Under One Roof

From the first pour of the morning to the early hours on the dancefloor, discover what makes the Anchor Complex the central hub of Portstewart:

  • The Anchor Bar: Step into the oldest traditional bar in the area. Famous for its friendly "craic," cozy Victorian fireplace, and the best pint of Guinness on the North Coast.

  • Skippers Restaurant: Experience high-quality dining featuring locally sourced ingredients. Whether it's our famous Sunday Carvery or a family dinner, Skippers offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere for all ages.

  • The Anchorage Inn: Planning a stay? Our 20 modern, ensuite bedrooms (including doubles, twins, triples, and quads) offer underfloor heating and stylish comfort, making us the perfect base for golfers and coastal explorers.

  • Riptide Nightclub: When the sun goes down, the energy goes up. Riptide is the North Coast's premier venue for student nights, live DJ takeovers, and high-octane events.

  • Live Entertainment: We are the home of live music in Portstewart, with a packed weekly schedule featuring everything from traditional folk sessions to the latest chart-topping bands.
