The new manager Anthony really looks after not only me but all the other locals I see at The Porto. Nothing is ever too much for him and it's something he really tries to instill in his team. The beer may just be the coldest in toowoomba and I've had a few beers around the traps. It's also nice to be able to perch yourself at the bar and swap stories. So many places these days don't allow for that. Thanks again Anthony and team, looking forward to the next session!

The family have been coming here before I was old enough to have a beer and I’m pretty sure my first legal bevvie was at The Porto.
Great pub, awesome service and chill atmosphere.
Always a great day or night here, especially when poker is on!
Cheers team!

The best service in any pub in Toowoomba and honestly, it's not even close. Tony and the team are true professionals and they are only too happy to oblige any request. We'll, most of them, anyway! Thanks for another great night team.

the best pub in toowoomba! anthony always provides the best service out of any venue I've ever visited; he always makes it a pleasure, remembering me by not only by drink, but by name. it's a good vibe here, with a great pool table, and never a dull moment with the locals. the place to go for good old, friendly bar service. the function rooms they offer are phenomenal at such an affordable price, so much effort goes into it. the only thing I can fault is the fact they don't have a kitchen. a few renovations to this place to just give it a little more - even just a small bar menu - and it would make it perfect.

Love coming here to catch up with work colleagues. It’s quiet and unassuming, the service is great and since I downloaded The Pass app, beer’s are even cheaper. While it would be great if you had a kitchen, it’s awesome that we can get food delivered. The boys and I can’t wait for the new pool table to arrive.

I’ve been coming here for a while now and the publican suggested I leave a review. From the $4.50 toasted sangas to the coldest beer in town, you can’t go past The Portadown Hotel. The service is top notch, the bar staff all pretty friendly and down for a chat. It’s a country pub stuck in the middle of town. Hopefully there will be a kitchen running one day and Roy will be able to get a job. Thanks again Tony and team.

I come here 3-4 times a week with an NDIS client. The bar staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is great. Staff have gone above and beyond on multiple occasions. Will continue too come back regularly. Keep up the great work! 10/10

I can’t possibly rate this place more highly.
We came here after a pretty ordinary experience at The Tatts and were welcomed by Anthony. He looked after the boys and I incredibly well, remembered our order the second time we visited and even helped us save a few dollars over Happy Hour.
We’re up here for work for a while and we’ll be back for a few more schooners!

Fantastic bar staff very friend service, cold beer on tap, pool table level, fantastic music out of the smartjuke
Regulars at the bar having a laugh enjoying the darts on tele brought a warm vibe.
Highly rate the environment for a catch up with friends!
9/10

Dropped by with the kids after doing a spot of retail therapy across the carpark at First Choice. The kids were, as is the case with three boys, starving to death. Enquired about lunch and was told by Anthony, the manager, that they didn't have a kitchen but that we were more than welcome to order a feed and have it delivered. How good is that? Really good! So often, especially with the boys, you can go to a pub and the food is pretty pricey or some cases simply not up to scratch. We ordered KFC and while we waited for lunch to arrive, had a few games of pool and keno too. It's really such a lovely pub inside, it's just a shame that the outside doesn't look that appealing. Anyways, the pub is incredibly neat and tidy, the locals (and bar staff too) are particularly friendly and knowledgeable too. One of the old boys even had a game of pool with my middle son. He thought it was Christmas! Many thanks to Anthony and Tekia for looking after us today, will definitely return.

Come on down to The Portadown fairly regularly and it’s nice to be remembered by the staff. They’re all great at their job, pour a good beer and the publican is particularly friendly. You just don’t get this level of service and attention anywhere anymore.
Thanks guys for another great night!

Came in for a drink Friday night with work colleagues and it was late, well for me at least. We’d been downtown for dinner, went to another bar for some drinks and then returned to the hotel we’d dined at earlier.
I’m from Lismore, 63 years of age and couldn’t get in due to not having my licence on me and thus, no entry.
So we did what more people should do and made our way to The Portadown Hotel. Even with karaoke, it was still quiet and we set up shop right at the bar, something I haven’t done in quite a spell. A couple Henry Hunters later, we were off to our apartments, but not before having the pleasure of Anthony’s company.
The highlight was when, as only a good publican knows how to do, he inserted himself into our conversation on Socialist Agrarianism enthusiastically proclaiming “not enough people here share my love of Socialist Agrarianism”, thumb firmly planted in cheek.
Our group of three would return Saturday night and stayed a while longer, not even bothering to contend with what lay in Margaret Street. Because we knew it wouldn’t hold a candle to our new home away from home, up the road.
So thank you Anthony, from myself, John and Casey. Thank you for restoring my faith in pubs in Toowoomba and looking forward to returning in the not too distant future.

Anthony at the Portadown was absolutely fantastic. We were a tad unorganised for a birthday function and he came up with a solution that totally saved the day. Thanks again 👌🏻.

Absolutely love The Porto! They make me feel like I’m at my own home, except someone else is pouring my drinks for me! Had the best toasted sandwich ever, the Chicken, Cheese and Guacamole was made by angels. ANGELS with a healthy sprinkling of love. Brett put me onto The Pass app and now I save even more because I’m a member of The Portadown Darts Club! Hashtag WINNING. To Snatch and the team, thanks for always looking after me.
