Porters' Pub in Easton describes itself on it’s website as a “quintessential Old World Pub” and this does ring true in more ways than one.
Upon entry to the pub, friendly staff greets you. Chalk written menus line the walls with beer and food specials, along with colorful art to brighten the stone walls. The music is not overpowering, promoting quiet conversation and ambiance. With a quick look around, it is more than easy to settle in underneath the mugs between the stone walls to a dining experience enjoyable to most palates.

Other than the décor, the first noteworthy thing about Porters' is the beer list. I honestly don’t know if I can count high enough to tell you how many beers they have listed. If you need to know or brag to your friends (which you should), the servers are more than helpful.
I am far from a beer enthusiast, but the descriptions even had me willing to crack open a Wells Banana Bread Ale toward the end of my meal.
Easton Restaurant Week is always a stomach filling experience. Porters' Pub did not leave me wanting.
The Restaurant Week menu contains a choice of two appetizers, homemade soup or salad, and about five different entrees and two desserts. With a perfectly poured Guinness, my partner and I delved into our meals.

The spinach and mushroom bruschetta was melt in your mouth divinity. There is no other way to describe it. Served over crusty bread and some greens, the smoked gouda béchamel held the spinach and mushrooms together in creamy gooey goodness. The chicken corn chowder is deliciously thick. I don’t know if there is a technical term for the spoon test, but once finished with my chowder, scooped my spoon through the remains and there were no runny remains, only thick creamy not overly salty chowder. I didn’t even need the saltines, which is unheard of for me. I usually use about five packs for a cup of soup.
The potatoes were still crunchy and starchy which seems to lead to the soup either being very fresh, or the potatoes were just undercooked, however, they added a textural enhancement to the chowder.
The steak and latkes were topped in an apple cranberry compote. The compote added some spice to the perfectly seared steak. It really had some unexpected kick, which complimented the sweetness of the apple and the savory full flavor of the NY Strip.

Dessert consisted of a Wells Banana Bread Ale and the Irish Car Bomb Cheesecake Square. No matter which dessert you go with, get the Wells Banana Bread Ale, I cannot stress the enough. The cheesecake was firm, and sweet.
I finished off with the Banana Bread Ale, the meal was complete.
Overall, Porter’s Pub is exactly all that it boasts. The beer list is phenomenal.
And the food menu can hold it’s own against that which is no easy feat. If you’re going either for beer or fulfilling, comforting pub food, you are in the right place.
