Porterhouse
-
Irish by nationality but remarkably global by nature, this gleaming, multi-spaced hostelry has a gregarious, no-nonsense vibe. Underpinning it all are draught stouts and ales rarely seen outside Ireland: Wrasslers, for example, popular in West Cork in the early 1900s. Along with the titular Porterhouse are An Brain Blást and oyster stout; tap lagers Temple Bräu and Hersbrucker are of the same family. The bottled beer list is simply mad - Albanian Tirana, Indonesian Bir Bintang, Israeli Macabee, Mozambican Laurentina Clara, Palestinian Taybeh and Tahitian Hinano - and goes down a treat with the multinational crowd that packs the place to bursting for key sporting fixtures.

Porterhouse was always a nice place to go for a drink, food etc., and we have always chosen Porterhouse compare to other places in Covent Garden, until recently, when we have experienced an unusual customer service. First of full the barmen has been absolutely rude and for some reason not a very happy person, who has served my boyfriend by letting him know that he's just hates the job and don't want to be there at all, which obviously not really our problem, but then when my boyfriend replied as why he is being so rude, instead the barmen has just called security and with no reason we have been asked to leave. It was very unexpected as taking into account that I do not drink alcohol at all and quietly having a conversation by the table with my friends I had to be embarrassed by Porterhouse staff making me and my friends leaving the pub...Well at least I have noticed that other people who were sitting next to our table weren't happy by the behavior of staff and had to leave too, so next time if anyone fancies to go to Porterhouse be prepared of bad customer service and disrespect to customers!!!!
