We are in Manhattan for a wedding and decided to do some pre-gaming at Porters. This is a very cool bar with a great vibe. Good food options and plenty of beer. The bartenders are super cool !!!I'm happy too because they offer Ballast Point

Dive bar fan here, I get it, but this joint has the wrong kind of Looky Lou embalmed regulars and a woman bartender who's freakin rude. Whatever.

Skip this place if you are there for food. College students deserve to get what they are paying for, especially on their usually limited budgets, and this place isn't it. What a disappointment. Fortunately, there are a many other places in Aggieville to try out over the next few years.The good things: The background music was entertaining.Now, for the rest of the story:As we arrived, we noted that that it wasn't busy, for all the traffic in town on 'move in' day at KSU. We ordered our food and 45 minutes later, we received half of it. Over 30 minutes later (and asking the server twice where the rest of the food was), the other half of the food arrived. Since we weren't warned of the delay, many of us sat with our food in front of us, waiting for the rest to arrive; by the time they gave up and ate their food, it was cold. Now, we didn't order any well done burgers or gourmet cuisine: burgers and simple sandwiches and salads. The server told us that the kitchen was small and the cook was new. We were likely the only ones ordering food, of the 4 other tables in the place. Even with a small kitchen, if they had cooked the first round of burgers, it shouldn't have taken another 30 minutes to make the 2nd round of burgers and salads. When the second half of the food did arrive? It was with the wrong side order, and then it was cold. After I asked for a manager, I was told that they didn't really have one (they didn't really have a cook, either, apparently), and they gave us our food at half off. There had been no apologies or offers to make it better.

I usually REALLY hate the "fratty" choad bar hangouts but this place somehow balances itself out.Happy hour is fantastic, good booze selection, killer HH tacos and good TV access.Bartenders & waitstaff are friendly - amazingly good at keeping up with your tab.It gets REALLY packed - go early.

Porter's is a great bar, all around. There is something for everyone here ... it's Manhappiness so you have that interesting mix of military, townies, frat boys and the sorority crowd and everyone in between. As the night goes beyond 10pm, the crowd tends to get a bit younger ... this is a college town. I miss drinking outside at Porter's, it's a solid college town bar and one of Manhattan's best night-life offerings.

Crazy martini menu. Insane (good) prices during happy hour. Sports in TV. Mixed crowd of students and college staff. Food is bar vittles. $10 wine bottles - holy cow

This was a good quality college bar. It has some outside seating, it was clean for a college bar, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Got there too late to try the food, but they told us what was still open, so we could grab a bite and bring it in.
