| "Horses for courses" immediately springs to mind and Strongers has pretty much summed it up below. If you are looking for a cozy little pub that serves a huge variety of beautifully kept real ales .....Ummmmm........this ain't it ! On the other hand, if you fancy a game of darts - a great social game in my opinion - then there's quite simply nowhere better in the City. Many years ago (more than I care to think about) I played in the City Bank's Darts League and there used to be a load of darts pubs in the Square Mile. Sadly, they have all been converted to poncey establishments serving imported lager and wine. The Porter's Lodge appears to be a throwback to that more innocent, customer focussed era. Sadly, the beer, quite frankly, is disappointing to say the least. There are a few hand pumps but only one was in use and the London Pride had that odd, creamy smoothflow taste despite the fact that it was apparently pulled in the proper manner. I've never quite worked out how they do that ! Nevertheless, as someone else said, you don't go to the Porter's Lodge to sit at the bar and sup ale. I too rememeber the City Darts which was also a bit of a dive and this place is the closest I have seen to it - and long may it continue. So 4 out of 10 for the beer - 10 for the arrers !

| hed kandi and darts!!!! and yes this place somehow makes it work. The best place for Darts inThe City!!! 6 boards and some pool tables make it work.Late on Thursdays but HED KANDI ALL DAY LONG !,I gotta say this is a find,and so close to all the tube stations in the CITY. No competiton really for darts.there used to be a pub called the City Dart..but I think that closed down ,I think this place is the City Darts now,with Hed Kandi,,oh,and sambucca.. sambucajason - 24 Jan 2010 23:21 |

| Was there last Thursday with some colleagues from work.We heard about the karaoke,and I have to say that this place is a bit quirky . Great service in a city pub??? great selection of beers,peroni,san miguel,corona etc.The London Pride was on,along wth Black Sheep,but I dont know about the quality?? The staff are so good,funny,chatty and they do a mean baby guinness. It was very busy,with darts(i even played) which is unusual for around here. I drink in the city most Thurs nights,but although most places are busy,the customer service doesnt exist. There at the Porter Lodge they were fantastic,best karaoke venue around,it may be tatty yes,but they know what a customer want. And PS. loved the pink poodle behind the bar lol...... princesslesley - 21 Jul 2009 20:29 |
