porters english pub

i always go to porters for a drink or two and always end up having a good time. the pub is quite big yet has a cozy feeling to it. i've only tried the porters burger, i'd give it a 4/5. the only downside to the bar is that it gets a bit busy sometimes and the orders take a lot oftimeto arrive.

after putting 4 stars for porters, i decrease them to 1 for the rude treatment last night from the security person. it's the firsttimei'm asked for my uae id at porters and then he didn't accept the card i got first which was medical insurance. i left after this although i was going to spend some goodtimethere.

previous review: i really liked this pub. the fast service and good beer. it's good for a fun night out yet not for calm nights of course. i wish there were more places to find though. always fully booked.

if you're looking forward to dancing the night away, or meeting someone head to porter's. if not, and what you're looking for is some place to hang out with friends or just by yourself to relax and unwind, you may as well skip it.

ambience - well, the place is done up pretty well and has a vintage look to it. there are dartboards and pool boards to while away your time. the music however is too loud for my preference, that you literally have to yell at the person next to you. that band however is really good at what they do, and plays a really good mix of songs that will get your toes tapping. it however is also a small place with a huge crowd of which almost 80% smoke. i don't think there is any non smoking area as in some bars and the confined and limited space doesn't help it. the dance floor too is a tiny square, but hey, it's a pub and not a night club, so i guess i can't complain.

we ordered a couple of drinks and a plate of buffalo wings. definitely, the best wings we have had and the sauce was so tangy and the portion's good too. the drinks didn't cut it anyway and were just meh!

customer service is outstanding. they do a good job attending to all customers and keepingtimewith the orders despite the crazy crowd around. definitely, pat's on the back for these guys.

we went for a ladies night on a monday. food took sometimebut worth it because of the big serving. wasnt able to finish mine. maybe they dont have enought staff that night coz it’s so hard to call for them. the band is awesome! the overall experience is amazing. we’ll definitely comeback for another ladies night. 😋

our go to place after a tiresome long week. good vibe..good food..happy hour drinks all the till midnight..and the staff are really friendly. the porters team..the ground managers,waiters there are really helpful and friendly and make us want to come back. id like to mention two memorable waiters who serve us most of thetimewere teddy and since about few months now we had the pleasure of being served by grace...who make us feel its our joint to be in.

been here on a saturday afternoon as i had an opportunity to dine in with my family - with kids. kids are allowed only in the afternoons between 12pm to 6pm. it's a quite serene setup in the afternoons and were on the b1 level. mark our attendant did a good job of hopping up and down to ensure we had all what we ordered. due to obvious reasons, thetimewe took to place our order as well as receive it took time. i'm really suprised by the management to decide on having only a single attendant the whole period of time. even though we informed them ahead oftimeof our reservation and confirmation received that we would be dinning on the b1 floor. food was great and was delivered exactly the way we prefered. for starters we had the fried squids along with bufallo wkngs. for the main course we ordered the t-bone steak, fish and chips, butter chicken meal. all to our delights. wi-fi available and valet parking.

i booked a table thru zomato for me and my friends. i arrived 10minutes before and approached the staff to ask where we’ll be seated. on her note my booking was not yet mentioned but she still assisted me and had me seated. i inquired about using zomato gold for the firsttimeand she gladly accepted and honored it. we had 2 free drinks of the same kind. food and drinks are affordable. plus you will enjoy the band and the dj’s playlist. my friends also enjoyed the night and will come back next time😊

nice place to have a goodtimemust try crispy squids here its delicious service was ok first we sat on the ground floor no one was there to take order may be because we went in the afternoon so we went down on b1 it was not much crowded overall happy with the experience!

great speedy service and comfy seating, really good live band, chill vibes 👌🏼 great place to watch the world cup and enjoy a nice cold brew. had a really greattimeand would definitely go back there soon.

nice place to hangout on weekend, plenty of offers and god service with fantastic live band the guitarist is show stealer. food n beverage are moderately priced. service is good along with ambience, you have few games to killtimen compete with friends . overall a good experience at this place.

porters is the place to be when you have freetimeot you want to relax and enjoy your cold beer. variety of beers plus the happy hour which is a must and also the attitude of the staff is very professional. the only bad experience was onetimei went after a party and no one hadtimeto serve me and i was moved to a table in the far corner. but i forgive it for onetime😋

we attended the media event here last 27th september 2017 with some of my friends. it is my firsttimeand the event is quite good. staffs and everyone is friendly and warm.
anyhow, we enjoy the food and drinks. i got stella artois beer which is yum.
looking forward to try more of their noms.

would always remember this place as the firsttimei visited a pub with my family and friends in abu dhabi. the amazingly rustic ambience created by the various props and images and the underground entrance to the pub makes you think it's going to be a small place but the place is huge. live band, football matches on big screen and pretty waitresses, and a decent crowd, the men were pretty happy😝
food is just finger food. not a wholesome meal so plan well before u go.
a great place to hang out with friends.

cool place to sit and chat with friends, till thetimelive band starts @10 pm. good and drink options are good. check out for deals on selected beverages.

been here on several occasions for drinks with friends. off late the crowd is not good compared to last year when we had an awesometime.love their live band full of energy which pulls you to the dance floor.. food , ambiance n staff all good!
