The Porch

Steps from the controlled chaos on Duval Street, The Porch is a craft beer lovers refuge tucked into the front of a 1839 Victorian mansion. They have 18 brews on tap and plenty more in bottles with selections changing with the seasons. Wine aficionados will also be pleased with their full wall of wine, interrupted only by a flat screen TV playing B-movies (ironically of course). The décor mixes historic architectural details like pressed tin ceilings and chandeliers with 80s music, a Buddha statue and an R2D2 in a Santa hat. It's been likened to "Cheers" on acid. Sit at the small bar where friendly bartenders like "Grubby" will guide you through their selections, or on the namesake porch--a perfect perch for people watching. Happy Hour is ideal for anyone who wants to try a new brew or wine without breaking the bank. Watch their schedule for theme parties.
