I was so pleasantly surprised by this arcade. The games are a little outdated but still lots of fun. I meant to step in and look around quickly, but I ended up staying 2 hours! The staff members were also extremely nice and friendly. If I'm ever back in Portrush, I'll definitely drop by Phil's again.

As the title suggests this place is what it is. It is an amusement arcade with a selection of children's machines including a ticket shop area. There is an area which is separated for adults gaming machines. This place is very popular for locals and for those who visit Portrush from all over Northern Ireland. I remember it as a child and to this day it does not seem to have changed.
It is not very clean and is out dated but I would return as it is part of the local tradition and yearly visit to the area. For tourists to the area I would not recommend this attraction.

Wey hey! This is the ultimate place for those of us who just love spending heaps of money on worthless fluffy toys and silly prizes! Skill tester cranes and 2p pushing machines are my personal favourite. But if they aren't your cup of tea there's plenty of other options to while away the hours and your cash! And the then there is the adult area for the major players. Get serious with the bingo machines if you so desire. We walked away with a soft Austine Powers and a lifetime of memories. Money can't buy that.

Disgusted that someone feels it's okay to slander a member of staff when they have done absolutely no wrong.

we went up to portrush for the weekend as my friend had got engaged and my friends and I thought we would try out the bingo,this was in august 2019 as a fun night out as my grandmother recommended it to me a few weeks ago .
when we got there the welsh guy had a craic gave us books etc and we sat playing pongo slots for a while,then one of my friends asked the bearded guy a question about when bingo books will start and he was really very rude towards her answered her quite abruptly,so what started as a great night just got worse,we found he was calling the numbers didn't catch his name but he just got worse as night went on and as for the young dark haired girl helping him with change etc she was as bad as him for rudeness ,really thought she was someone loved herself .
,I really have to credit the floor staff as the dark haired guy calling slots was super nice and young girl on floor who had change for slots with dirty fair hair was lovely but the way these two in top box reacted when asked for help from floor staff was unbelievable,bearded guy you need a lesson in manners big time, if it wasn't for your customers you wouldn't have a job ,sorry he just maddened me and as for the boss the big welsh guy he ignored what was going on right in front of him,this bingo hall was my grandmother's favourite place to go when dear old Bob ran it ,it was brilliant and atmosphere was excellent then as she told us and such a nice guy Bob was and he would be turning in his grave with the way it is run today.
so Phil's I would suggest you retrain your staff or lose your customers in near future because that is not good management at all.

Is there anything worse than retreating in here when it's pouring with rain outside? Yes, coming in here when it's raining and losing a load of money on the shove two penny machines.
Dingy looking, old fashioned and generally awful.

We were really excited about going to phils when we visited portrush, we wanted racing games and arcade machines but all that was there was a few 2p machines with 70% of the room made up of an over 18 gambling area... Which was quite depressing. There is quite an archaic bingo hall at the back which is worth a look.
