Why Porters Is Federal Hill's Favorite
  • NFL Ticket on seven TVs
  • Happy hour and dinner specials
  • Short walk from Inner Harbor

There's a reason the locals voted Porters the best bar in Federal Hill. There's always a friendly neighborhood group there without the crowds of the Cross Street Market area. In fact, it's often referred to as Federal Hill's unofficial living room. And during football season, NFL Ticket is featured on seven flat screen TVs. So you can always catch your team--even if it's not the Ravens. The food is definitely a step up from your traditional pub menu and the newly remodeled dining room evokes a romantic supper club feel, yet the prices are modest. In fact, with happy hour and food specials, it might be more expensive to eat at home. Because Porters is just a short walk away from the Inner Harbor, it's the perfect place to take a break from the crowds of Harbor Place.

Great food & atmosphere  5 Star Rating - World class

By Patricia L.

Never had a problem that the staff didn't fix immediately. Every restaurant will occasionally make a mistake. Correcting them should be prime concern.

Occasionally have to wait for seating and kitchen delay.

Popular neighborhood business with a good kitchen staff & expansive menu.

PROS: Reasonable pricing. Nice atmosphere.
CONS: Crowded. Limited seating

Great Little Pub, Ok food, Ok service 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

We visited Porter's for the first time last night. The atmosphere is welcoming, definite neighborhood type of bar. They have a fabulous wine by the glass selection (and the menu is laid out well), but the glasses of wine are very small. The beer selection was above average but they were out of several taps leaving few choices available. The service was not so great - the waitress forgot our soup, brought out the wrong item, and did not ask if we wanted a second round of drinks until the meal was over. Dinner was large portions, but the food was just average. All in all it wasn't a bad experience but does not rank top of my list.

Friendly and Warm 4 Star Rating - Very good

Porters is a great neighborhood treat! Friendly and warm, the meals are consistently good and tasty. Just a great way to spend the evening and feel the warmth of the Federal Hill neighborhood. Although the service can be a little slow, it give you extra time to spend with your friends!

Good Federal Hill pub 5 Star Rating - World class

It's a nice relief to come to Porters after all the craziness on Cross Street. The owner, Joe, is such a great guy. I love the new booths they've added, too.

Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly, Booths
