I absolutely loved the venue, the space was just perfect, the pub was beautifully designed, and the staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends and will definitely be celebrating my birthday there again.
The only thing I didn’t like was not being able to play my own music, or request songs from the DJ, I asked, but he didn’t play them. On the bright side, the live singer was super friendly!

About The Portobello Bar

The Portobello Bar is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The Portobello Bar is an Irish pub that combines a carvery-style restaurant with an evening bar and nightclub, offering both daytime dining and late-night entertainment.

Venue highlights: The venue provides in-house catering centred on a carvery and pub menu, and can deliver plated meals or buffet-style service for private hires. Separate restaurant, bar and nightclub areas allow events to transition from afternoon meals into later live-music and bar service. The venue offers paid off-site parking and a bookings team that prepares tables and name placements for group reservations.

Best for: Group lunches and dinners that focus on a carvery or set-menu meal. Evening receptions and social drinks that pair live music with late-night bar service.

Location: Portobello sits beside the canal and contains nearby hotels and eateries, making it straightforward for guests to continue an evening after a private booking.

What guests say: The service is responsive and well organised for group bookings, with staff preparing tables and name placements prior to arrival. The food is consistently praised for hearty carvery dishes, well-cooked steaks and reliable pub favourites.
