| I've always rated this place highly since it opened - as I do the originals in Dublin and Bray. A good selection available although I tend to stick to the Plain Porter or the Red. I too have had a bad experience with The Polar in the past but haven't tried it for years now. Food is good value - the burgers especially. Superb service yesterday when a group of 17 of us turned up shortly after noon and camped out on the top floor. Frequent table service from a delightful lady with an amazing memory (how can you get 17 meal and beer orders right without writting anything down?) and great arms - she carred 2 trays with 17 pints up 2 flights of stairs with apparent ease! Was filling up fast when we left about 1600 but we will return! cheshirecat - 9 Dec 2009 09:32 |
| The Plain Porter is now £3.35, this place is still a decent stop off on a saturday afternoon, if only to have a quiet pint after survivng Covent Garden.Beer quality is invariably excellent. EdgarBriggsMI5 - 25 Oct 2009 11:48 |
| the porterhouse is one of my favourite drinking spots in the west and and it's always a pleasure to have a few beers ihere - whether on a saturday afternoon retreat from the tourist hell of covent garden or a serious beer session with one's mates. it strikes me as a modern take on the quays in galway and waxy o'connor's in chinatown. contrary to lennie384's comments below, the in house draught beers are very good, especially the oyster stout which is smoother than guinness and just as easy to drink. mind you, i tend not to pay much attention to people who call themselves "seasoned hard drinkers". anyone who is of that ilk generally doesn't feel the need to brag about it. the food in the porterhouse is normally very good, particularly the burgers and the bands i've seen on a saturday evening have hit the spot. porcus_volans - 4 Oct 2009 18:21 |
| I like this pub for the interior and like it even more when they show the sport on TV. However the best thing about this is the range of beer available. Last time I went in there I had 3 different beers and all were great including the TSB and the delish Oyster Stout. Word of warning - if you have too many the trip to the loos is more than interesting! Will go back soon (like on a Saturday lunchtime for the footie) for a pint or 2 (or 3).

| I love the Porterhouse. The bar staff are friendly. The place is huge and goes on forever. They show live sports, they have live music and the brew their own beer in Ireland. I love the Fruli and the Chiller. They have recently refurbished it and the outdoors now has funky green chairs and tables, fake hedges and a bar all around the umbrellas so you can drink outside even in the rain. Gets very busy on a Friday night. faithnirvana - 18 Sep 2009 12:20 |
