A big Porterhouse outlet in the very popular neighborhood of the Covent Garden’s market. They have many of their own beers which is the reason why you should visit, but I must say none of them was of any interest to me, being generally weaker than the rest of the English ales in quality. Considerable selection of bottled beers/imports, but you can probably find those bottles in a cosier and cheaper pub.

Huge interior and large outdoor patio (with lime green chairs). Good place to meet with a large group but otherwise uninspiring. Same with the beers.

My last stop while in London... similar to the Porterhouse in Dublin, but not quite as nice. Was deserted when I was here, but I can’t imagine it’s like that all the time. One guest tap (sadly it was Fruli when I was there) and their other brews plus some standard macros. There are definitely better places in London than this.

A taproom for the Dublin based Porterhouse beers. The star here is the Oyster Stout, with the remaining taps filled with crap such as ’cold chilled to all buggery tasty lager’ and ’more shitty mass produced swill for those who enjoy the finer things in life - drink up morons! pilsener’. Beers are expensive and food is more painfully so. A pub at the bottom of my list of places to visit in London. Save the pennies and hit up the Harp down the road for a genuine pub experience.

Solid spot. Has lots of the Porterhouse beers on draught, along with a good bottle selection. There is tons of seating space. The decor is pretty nice, although it is a bummer that they decorate with full bottles of beer. There are some AWESOME bottles of very, very old beer just sitting in glass cases. Prices are decent. I didn’t have any food. I’ll visit here again.

Many visits over the years, largely pre 2009 ’before we got it good in London.com’ but popped by on a busy Thursday evening in Dec ’12 as had a works function in the area. Love the interior here, whilst not ’trad’ its a labrynth of floors and rooms with lots of wood, brass, copper, almost like wandering through a factory in the Victorian ages! Place is always packed of an evening, that’s one thing that doesn’t seem to change. There are a number of bars on the different levels, the first one you come to has the most extensive range, but you are likely to wait longer here as the crowds roll in from the street and rock up at the first bar. If you go to the top level there is a bar at the back on the left hand side where you can sometimes get served straight away or perhaps wait one turn. As touched on tho’, the range will be less than half the main bar holds. Beer range is all the Porterhouse regulars plus a few cask lines from other ’mainstream’ ish brewers. Bottle range is 100 plus and from all around the world. This looked semi - impressive 5 or so years ago, now it’s tired and there aren’t many beers you’d want to choose from it! Not a go to destination anymore (I think I would have classed it as such 5 to 10 years ago) but worth popping by if in the area.

Rated on a relaxed Sunday afternoon with live music. This is definately not as partylike as on the Friday and Saturday nights I’ve visited earlier. There’s usually 9 of their own beers on tap, and they are from bad to really good. And then they have a great selection of international lagers, so if You collect countries, this is a good place to get some ticks. The place is huge and a typical modern pub like interior. The service is OK.

Welcome to real ale Disneyland! Nothing less than three sample trays, each with three ales plus a seasonal one. In addition to their own draught lagers, stouts and ales there is a quite impressive international bottle menu. Delicious food the Porterhouse Frying Pan is highly recommendable. Decent service and cosy atmosphere. Best time for sampling beers should be in the afternoon before it gets too busy and crowded (“kick-off” to GBBF, 05.08.2008)

Lots of Porterhouse avaliable from tap. Large and modern place. The beers are decent. Zero new ticks for me though, but a fine place if you need the Porterhouse beers.

I last visited on a Friday night, which probably wasn’t the best idea. The Porterhouse is large, busy and nosy Irish bar located in Covent Garden. On the upside they have a wide selection of their own beers on draft (I like the Wrasslers XXXX), as well as a fairly wide bottled selection, which includes solid Belgian brews such as Orval and Rochefort 10. They serve their draft beer perhaps a bit too cold for my liking. They also have live music most nights if that floats you boat.
