Hi, I'm the Front Porch Pub. I was born of a father/son team labor of love in December 2000. Since then I've made lots of friends and been sighted in local, national and international media. I host the #1 Happy Hour in Midtown. I'm a full bar with a great beer selection including 44 draught beers and over 50 bottled beers. I offer great entertainment with 2 pool tables and 2 dart boards.

Editorial Review for Front Porch Pub – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
A crowd of beer taps at the bar matches the crowd of drinkers on the front porch of this leisurely pub at downtown's edge. There are even more beers bottled for the beer enthusiast. Mellow out with chocolate stout against brick-and-plaster walls, or play some pool on one of the tables overlooking Gray Street. The urban-casual, 20-something crowd is multicultural, albeit conservative; men decked out in khakis, women in long skirts.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

So I just moved here. Im from up north, and let me tell you...EVERYONE HERE IS SO NICE! The waitress' are so good looking, sweet and really know their stuff! The one that served us kept our table clean and our beers full. She was the example of "A Blonde Texas Beauty" with some comedic background! I loved the mini corn dogs and the pizza. It was no "deep dish" but I'm lovin the thin crust now. Fun music was playing thanks to the bartender I met named Tony. He was pretty funny as well. The age group ranged from 20's to 30's...perfect! I don't want to be around young kids or creepy old men. I WILL BE COMING BACK! :)

The crawfish is amazing and this is the 2nd year in a row I've gone for that reason. They are huge, very spicy, and reasonably priced at $3.75/lb. Get there early for crawfish because they usually run out of places to sit. The crowd at Front Porch is mostly professionals after work looking for a few drinks, but at nights and on the weekends there are usually more locals that live in the area visiting. Visit the new "Porchswing Pub" in the heights for a more casual crowd if that is what you prefer. Its the same bar (basically) and same owner. I would have given this place 5 stars but for as long as I can remember, Front Porch has horrible draft beer. Stick to bottles and you'll be OK.

Pros: crawfish and good atmosphere/crowd

Cons: draft beer
