    Relaxed atmosphere
    Great bar! Nice relaxed atmosphere and very friendly bar staff. Lovely menu available and an even better cocktail list. It’s right beside the train/bus station too which is handy. Would definitely come again.

    Great meal!
    Got a takeaway Sunday dinner from platform 53 and the service was amazing. Clare sat and chatted to us while we waited on the food and gave us a drink! The chef also plated our dinner up and wrapped it in tin foil instead of using containers. The only thing better was the meal itself! The food was amazing and it's not often I can't finish a Sunday dinner but it wasn't for lack of trying! Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu!

    Great craic!
    Up in Northern Ireland for the weekend with my family from Cork. We were looking for a pub to get a few drinks in that was lively enough. DJ was playing great music on a Sunday night! We brought our dog and he was allowed in the bar which was a plus. Great atmosphere and really lovely staff. Very accommodating! Great bar :)

    Proper old school pub in appearance.
    Very friendly and welcoming Proper old school pub in appearance, none of this modern day arty farty, gastro, everything metal looking nonsense. Very clean and the Guinness was bang on, absolutely lovely drop. I stayed through the afternoon, the booths are very comfortable and cosy, just a really great place. Highly recommend. Bosh.

The Railway Arms is a fab pub for relaxing and enjoying good beers and cocktails. We had a traditional Irish lager and a Raspberry Ameretto sour. Both fab ! Service was good and the pub clean and comfortable.

Booked a table in this pub to watch the Euro final as was staying in Coleraine for a few days staycation. Was a bit apprehensive as to whether the pub would follow the Covid rules etc, but I felt totally safe. Social distancing, sign in, everyone had their own booth, staff were asking if eveyone was ok to see a TV and table service. Totally brilliant experience. Went back next night for some 'dirty frys'.Well done Railway Arms!

DJ was blasting music like some Ibiza nightclub. No need! At least 75% of the customers looked like they where in for a drink, not to get there ear drums burst. Great pub but wrong vibe.

If you get the train or bus into town, you can't miss this place, as it probably be the first sight you'll see. My first impression was that it was a bit ruff and ready, but after spending some time there, realised that it's a great spot. On my visits (3 times over a weekend) the customers were mostly males, and I believe it's the base for Liverpool supporters in Coleraine, with an Anfield room upstairs.

However, their best asset is a young lady behind the bar. After serving me, she came down to my table for a chat. Now I know that I'm a fine looking, charming gentleman, but this lady was genuine. You could see that she actually enjoyed her job. Since my visit I read in one of the newspapers that she has been nominated for "bar person of the year 2014" and I don't know if she won it, but if she did, she deserves it. Over the years I have been in a lot of bars and worked in a few when I was younger, and never seen such a welcome before.

And they have a back door too, so if you need to avoid somebody here, you won't have any problem. There a bookies and food joints within spitting distance.
