Irish pubs in the United States certainly aren't new as a concept. But step into The Porter House to get a peek into what you may have been missing all along. Tucked away in Montvale, New Jersey, this Irish delight keeps guests riveted with its original décor and incredible collection of antiques and relics such as never seen before. Every bolt, brick and plank seen in the pub, has a story to tell. Mahogany floors, aged oak ceiling beams, multiple fire places with stone hearths and wood mantles, photographs and signs on walls - all work together to explain Ireland and create a cosy, warm atmosphere.

As you take a tour around the place, it's evident that the kitchen is far removed from ancient Ireland. It comes equipped with advanced equipment and accessories and even the food deviates from traditional Irish cuisine. There are Irish specialities on the menu, but this pub knows its audience well. The flavours are eclectic-American with an emphasis on steaks. Try the grilled chicken panino, the philly cheese steak, Porter House turkey reuben and pan seared Maryland crab cakes. Come and eat your heart out. And drown in culture while you're at it.
