Porterhouse in Covent Garden is one of London’s largest and liveliest bars, offering a dynamic blend of craft beer, quality pub food, live music and sport - all under one roof.
Founded in Dublin in the mid-90s and proudly independent, Porterhouse opened its Covent Garden location in 2000 and has since become a staple of London’s pub scene. The venue is especially popular with rugby fans, boasting 18 screens for live sport and a buzzing atmosphere during major tournaments like the Six Nations.
Located on Maiden Lane, just moments from the West End and the Thames, it’s a go-to destination for locals, tourists and anyone looking to enjoy a vibrant night out in the heart of the city. Spread across three main floors with mezzanine levels and one of Central London’s largest beer gardens, Porterhouse combines spaciousness with character. Each bar within the venue has its own atmosphere, from the bustling main bar to the intimate Dingle Whiskey Bar and the energetic basement bar where live bands play rock and pop covers every Thursday to Saturday.
The menu features classic pub favourites with a modern twist. Guests can enjoy fish and chips, burgers, pizzas and hearty mains, alongside vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Sundays are all about homemade roasts, served with all the traditional trimmings. The food is designed to pair perfectly with the bar’s extensive drinks list, which includes over 30 taps pouring award-winning craft beers, a wide selection of bottled and canned brews, eclectic cocktails, premium gin and a curated collection of Irish whiskey.
Whether you're here for a pint of plain porter, a cocktail on the terrace, or a night of music and sport, Porterhouse delivers a memorable experience with warmth, energy and unmistakable Irish charm.
