Tomas Dolan (Manager), Joe O'Malley (Proprietor) and Gerry McCormack from the Porter House
Westport's Porter House has received its second national accolade in 12 months, this time for Best Live Entertainment Bar 2023 at the prestigious Bar of the Year Awards.
Following on from winning the Best Music Pub at the Irish Pub Awards in November 2022, this is a huge achievement for proprietors Joe and Marian O’Malley as well as for the team at the Porter House and the musicians who play there.
According to the organizers, Licensing World Magazine, ‘the most exceptional bars have been recognized and celebrated for their extraordinary contributions to the hospitality industry’.
After the announcement at the Clayton Hotel, Ballsbridge on Monday August 21, proprietor Joe O’Malley said that he was delighted with the award and felt that it recognised both the excellent team at the Porter House as well as the exceptional quality of the music and entertainment provided by the pub.
The pub hosts two music sessions every day throughout the year and three at weekends during the summer.
