The Porterhouse

The Porterhouse is just behind the famous Covent Garden Market Hall, in the heart of London. It's an Irish restaurant which offers beers from all over the world. We went after work, between Christmas and New Year, a time that's usually quite low for pubs and restaurants, but the place was very busy. The beers are classified by type and country. We tried beer from Laos, Negra Modelo of Mexico, Irish Stout beer (which is black as Guinness), Quilmes of Argentina and Indonesian beer - a world tour in 2 hours! Outside there's a terrace with umbrellas and heaters but it was still cold and we were unable to get a table inside because it was so crowded.
