The Scene – Crowds vary depending on the nearby arena schedule. Testosterone's in the air when a home game's on tap; otherwise, young professionals gather in front of the many TVs while taking in a casual dinner or drinks. High ceilings, exposed brick walls, soft lighting, comfy booths and a friendly waitstaff ensure a low-key vibe. – – The Draw – Porters' appetizers, salads, sandwiches and generously portioned entrees circle the globe.

Highly recommended for FleetCenter events
by theduke37
I attend many FleetCenter events and have tried a lot of different places. Porter's is undoubtedly one of the best. The service was prompt and affable, leaving us in a good mood and plenty of time before tipoff. The food was excellent for the price and expectations. Chicken tenders were made from tender, moist breast meat and nicely breaded with a good sauce. The pulled pork sandwich was very good. The biggest winner was the chicken and ribs combo. Both were melt-off-the-bone delicious.
The bar is friendly, well-lighted and has fairly high ceilings for this area. The bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable and let you try some of the unique beers before buying.
Also, Porter's is in some of the iDine programs, making it an even better value.
- Pros: Excellent food, Fast/friendly service
Good Clean Fun

Porter's offers a nice, bright bar atmosphere in this somewhat up and coming neighborhood. I visited because I was staying at the Onyx Hotel next stoor and was pleasantly surprised by the helpful staff and decent food and prices. Recommended.
- Pros: Good Staff, Bright, Good Sports Bar
