PORTAL HOTEL GOLF RESORT OPENS NEW-LOOK SPORTS BAR

The St Andrews Sports Bar at Portal Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa has officially reopened following a major refurbishment.

Located within the luxurious surroundings of the Tarporley-based resort, the revamped bar offers a welcoming and relaxed space for golfers to unwind after a round on one of the venue’s three acclaimed golf courses.

The reimagined space includes seating for up to 100 guests and blends sport, socialising, and comfort in one stylish setting.

The bar now features a unique eight-foot sloping putting green, extending the golf experience beyond the course and offering a fun, competitive element for guests of all ages and abilities.

The interior design has been fully refreshed, drawing on contemporary influences and comfortable touches.

The new look bar is open to the public

The bar’s festival-style menu includes casual favourites such as burgers and pizzas, with food served throughout the day and evening.

The drinks selection features a wide range of beers, ales, and ciders, alongside wines, premium spirits—including a selection of single malts from Loch Lomond Whiskies—and non-alcoholic beverages.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Open to all, the St Andrews Sports Bar also features a dedicated members’ area and is available for exclusive hire, making it ideal for hosting corporate gatherings, charity events, or private celebrations.

Portal Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa is part of the Macdonald Hotels & Resorts group, one of the UK’s leading independent hospitality brands.

Just 10 miles from Chester, the resort boasts three outstanding golf courses. The Championship Course, known for its stadium layout, and the Premier Course, with its tree-lined fairways, both offer exciting challenges for experienced golfers. Meanwhile, the Arderne nine-hole course provides a relaxed setting ideal for beginners.

Rhys Townsend, General Manager at Portal Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa, commented:

“The reopening of the St Andrews Sports Bar marks an exciting new chapter for the resort. We’re thrilled to welcome members, guests, and new visitors this spring and summer.

The new-look bar offers a fantastic place to relax, dine, and enjoy the company of fellow golfers. Retaining the name pays homage to the home of golf, while the new design ensures it remains a standout destination in its own right.”
