Safehouse Café Bar Portrush

About

The Safehouse Café Bar Portrush is a restaurant which provides hearty food including stone-baked pizzas, drinks including handcrafted cocktail and rich barista coffee, a pet-friendly environment and live music every weekend.

A Historic Gem in the Heart of Portrush. Established in 1898 as a branch of the Belfast Bank, this iconic building was designed by renowned architect Vincent Craig. Through careful restoration, we've preserved its historic charm, blending tradition with modern comfort to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Central to the seaside town and convenient to nearby tourist attractions, the Safehouse has a strong heritage which gained listed status in 1977 as a landmark of architectural historic interest. Historically, the property was previously the home of the original bank manager and his family, with the ground floor as the bank which included a secure safe room and a heavy steel door where the Safehouse Café Bar is located.

The Safehouse Café Bar Portrush is open from 12:00 until 20:00 on Mondays to Thursdays with last food order by 19:30, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 until 00:00 with last food order by 21:00 and Sundays from 10:00 until 20:00 with last food order by 19:30.

The modern interiors blend with the charming character and authentic features of the former bank, matched with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere from the dedicated Safehouse staff and team. The café bar is family-friendly with the option for all pizzas to be made smaller for children and also proudly pet-friendly so that your dog can be included too!

Live music is held in the Safehouse Café Bar Portrush every weekend with acoustic sets in the evenings from 20:00 until 22:00 on Fridays and 21:00 until 23:00 on Saturdays along with North Coast Trad Sessions from 15:00 until 17:00 on Saturday afternoons.
