Beer lovers everywhere will revel in the London Porterhouse Stout and Oyster bar from the award-winning, Dublin-based Porterhouse Brewing Company. A really different bar on three main levels featuring copper work in the design, nine draught beers from their own brewery and 100 bottled beers from around the world. Table service - entertainment - Wed to Sun. Food available 12pm to 9pm Mon-Sat and noon to 7pm on Sunday.

Porterhouse London is certain to impress with its range of exclusive stouts, lagers and ales imported direct from Dublin as well as its astounding selection of bottled beers from around the world. Located in Covent Garden on Maiden Lane, the area where the first Porter - then described as the ale of the working class - was brewed in 1722, Porterhouse London followed in the footsteps of its successful Irish siblings Porterhouse Bray and Porterhouse Temple Bar - the first microbrewery to open in Dublin.

Boasting a labyrinth of rooms, snugs and bars spread over eleven levels; no detail has been overlooked in creating this temple to the wonderful world of brewing. Steering away from obvious imagery and bric a brac as well as the fashion for minimalism, a modern classic has been created.

Reflecting their approach to brewing, natural and traditional materials have been used for areas such as terrazzo for the flooring, ceramic for the counters, cast iron for the staircases, copper for the ducting and salvaged French and English oak for the woodblocking. Central to the bar is a 200 year old original Irish clock rescued from Gortnahoe Town Hall and painstakingly refurbished.

More than just another Irish bar, Porterhouse London stocks the full range of the Dublin-brewed Porterhouse beers. Using no chemicals, there are nine award-winning varieties to choose from including Plain Porter, Wrasslers 4x Stout, Oyster Stout, An Brainblasta and Hersbrucker. There is even a modest wine list!

Complementing Porterhouse's range of beers is a menu featuring traditional Irish dishes, some with a contemporary twist, but all made using only the finest, freshest ingredients. Indulge in authentic hearty dishes such as the Porterhouse frying pan of smoked bacon, chorizo, mushrooms, onions, red piquillo peppers, potatoes, eggs and cheese, a selection from their impressive range of burgers made from 10oz Irish beef or 6oz chicken breast, or a pot of Irish mussels in white wine and cream sauce with chips and aioli. Those looking for a lighter bite with their beer, could opt for the Porterhouse chicken wings; nachos with sour cream, guacamole and tomato salsa or baked camembert with warm crusty bread.

Not just a bar for the boys, Porterhouse London is female friendly with plenty of seats and comfortable areas for those who don't like to stand at a bar. Add to this live music Wednesday through to Saturday with a traditional Irish Music Session Sunday evening, and Porterhouse London is a bar dedicated to serving up the good times.

Porterhouse London is a truly individual bar where their passion for beer really shines through. Whether beer buff or plain old beer belly, Porterhouse London is the bar for you and it's the only place in town where you can try their fabulous Porter beers - well, what are you waiting for?
