Great beer selection
4 out of 5 Reviewed on Wednesday, 28 May 2008 18:32
What a big pub. Great to meet up after work. On about 14 floors I think. Has a great selection of European beers. Plus can stand outside on those hot evenings.

Sports too
3 out of 5 Reviewed on Saturday, 24 May 2008 18:28
You can watch the sports tv if you wish in here. Its an oversized pub and gets busy, but then thats covent garden for you, it spills out onto the front and is nice on summer evenings.

Is busy good?!

This is one of those pubs that is difficult to review, 'cos it can get REALLY busy. And sometimes busy is good = atmosphere, fun, fit blokes etc. And sometimes busy is bad = can't get served for hours, hot,...

Nautical but nice...

The Porterhouse is an absolute monster of a pub, that makes you feel like you're in some kind of psychedelic submarine after a few drinks with it's nautical themed interior... The range of beers is pretty impressive,...

Packed Pub

Love this place, its got loads of character and lots of interesting drinks. The only thing I don’t like is how packed it gets…its really popular and gets totally rammed. I have been here lots of times...

Busy busy!

This is a large, very popular Covent Garden venue. It gets manic and on the sub-terranean levels it's pretty much impossible to get a signal on your phone, which is irritating when trying to locate friends in...

Busy busy

When I first entered The Porterhouse I was in awe as to how truly big it is. Has three huge floors and is definitely a popular destination towards the end of the week. Rustic interior unique to the local area,...

Beer and elbows
2 out of 5 Reviewed on Monday, 7 April 2008 22:39
The Porterhouse is a labyrinthine pub with multiple levels and a decent selection of beer. But it gets rammed Thursday to Saturday with the most spatially unaware people on the planet. Which is annoying. It...

This is possibly the largest 'pub' I have ever been to! At first glance it's fairly impressive - interesting style and always hugely busy. But there's something missing... Maybe because of its size, or...

Decent Pub in Covent Garden
