picture of Porters Bar
A sibling of Porters Bar in Henrietta Street, this branch on Poland Street is in a handy position to capture the drinking crowds as they journey in and out of Soho. The fare is decent enough, there's something for everyone, even beer drinkers (hence its inclusion in this guide) and it has a reasonable range of cocktails and shooters. Early evening (particularly on the soggy December night we were in) it's pretty quiet, we will check it out on a Friday or Saturday night when things should liven up. For now we can say if you just want to chill for a while after a day's work or shopping, there are a lot worse places to go to.
