Porter House in Westport

This was the only place we saw that had early (~6:30pm) music on a Thursday in January. The music wasn't at all traditional Irish, but the crowd was having a great time and the singer was eager and enthusiastic. The drinks are reasonable and the bar is lovely. There were plenty of locals and they seemed to love the place, and we had several good chats with lovely people.

The staff in Porterhouse displayed the utmost hospitality! Jerry and Ciaran were specifically amazing. As a group of five women, we felt particularly safe and looked after when a man accosted us in the pub. Jerry and Ciaran made sure that the situation was dealt with accordingly and looked after us for the whole night. The music was amazing and the vibe was so welcoming and enjoyable! I would recommend to anyone visiting Westport.

I’m from the states to see a different type of pub is different from ours! It’s beautiful and great way to see locals. Also there’s music!

Walking past we heard music in so we went in for a drink. Great atmosphere, friendly people and of course good Guinness. A wonderful taste of Irish pub culture.

Best and most authentic pub in Ireland, I have ever seen. Worth a longer way.

Great night on Wednesday night. Group of us really enjoyed the music

I didn't have food here but the atmosphere and craic was mighty.

Authentic Irish pub with lively music.No food. The bartenders are friendly and efficient. The pub can be quite full when music is on. Squeeze in, order a pint and enjoy the music. Remember to not drink your Guinness until it settles and is black.

Brilliant couple of hours music and atmosphere ,well worth a visit ,a few people had told us to go there when visiting westport

Westport—After our walking tour Guide Ed recommended we try the Porterhouse for live music. We dropped in Monday night for the 6:30 session which was lovely, huge crowd great music, lots of crowd participation. We came back on Tuesday night 6:30 session, another large crowd and two more talented musicians. If you’re near Westport check out Porterhouse. No food so Guinness will need to sustain you
