| Regardless of the hype that surrounds this pub, it really is a damn good place to go. The beers are all very good - particularly their own Plain, Dublin Pale and Hopped to F**k. Good service from knowledgable staff too. littledrummerboy - 29 Nov 2015 17:03 |

| I really liked this pub. Popped in for something to eat (food good) and a pint (Oyster stout...very nice) was impressed with atmosphere and service. Only down side was I didn`t get to sit at the bar, try more beers and watch the footie! Recommended. Blastbeat - 6 Mar 2013 10:28 |

| In the ale desert that is Dublin, the Porterhouse shines like a beacon. It is owned by the Porterhouse Brewing Co. who have bars in Bray down the coast and in Covent Garden. Beers are on keg and all brewed by the Porterhouse. Ones I recall are Porterhouse Red, Chiller Lager, and Hop Head. I sampled the Hop Head which, after nearly two weeks of drinking Guinness, was pure nectar. A fairly strong (4.8%) hoppy beer, it was absolutely delicious. I also tried a bottle of Brainblasta, which was a 7% plus beer, and not to my taste. The Hop Head was 4.75 euro for a pint, which may seem dear but with Guinness costing close to 5 euros (admirably not sold in here I should mention) it's not hard to make a choice! I also ate here, opting for the 'Porterhouse Burger' which was huge and tasty (ten euros). The building spans four floors, though I did not venture beyond ground level. The furniture is the kind I dislike - high tables and chairs. Glass cabinets filled with bottles of beer from around the world adorn the walls . There was music being played at slightly too loud a volume for my taste. Despite these reservations, I thoroughly recommend this pub to anyone in Dublin looking for a decent pint. holbornboy - 17 Mar 2010 21:52 |
