Love it
by nunesie23 at Citysearch
I love Porter Belly's and I am there with my friends almost every weekend. They always have good bands. The beers are fairly priced, and there is always a beer special. The atmosphere is great...cozy, homey, and relaxed. You couldn't ask for a better local bar. I do have one complaint however, and that is due to the volume that the band plays at. Porter's is a pretty small bar, and once that band starts playing, it is almost to loud. If they could just take it down a notch it would be perfect!

i,ve been going on and off to porter bellies the past 10 years ...the food is excellent ,the staff are friendly and the craic is mighty ,,local bands get a chance to blast it out regularly,and i have to say if you like guiness then go there and you;ll never want another pint anywhere else ..xmas is coming and if you wanna get into the spirit this is the place with all the decorations and lights ,have a pint in the nook ,sing ,dance ,or maybe try out your vocals at kareoke on sundays...overall 8 out of 10...

Brighton Center is still kinda puritanical with its liquor laws, only one bar has a 2AM license, but its nice to know that I can still get a good mix of a party and a local dive. I went when some band was playing, Iggy Jiggy, and the whole crowd was singin and dancin to U2 cover songs and other classics. The beer is reasonably priced, but its worth it to hear the Irish accents of the lovely ladies who tend bar.
I am new to Brighton, and a couple of locals recommended this place, just a couple of blocks down from my apartment, its worth the trip. I feel like I am at a second home, only I dont have to get the beers.
- Pros: Good draft choices,
- Cons: You haven't visited it yet, is the con
Best Irish Bar in Boston

This is my favourite bar in boston!!....... There is always something happening there, A good crowd and good craic..... Karaoke on Sunday nights is always fun with all the irish willing to give it a go..... Friday nights are my second favourite night, there is always a nice crowd and a good band playing..... The food there is also amazing...!!! I ate my first steak dinner there and i haven't looked back since, Its actual steak not like the other restaurants that only serve these "steak tips" things..... Also they do a delicious Full Irish Breakfast, we went in one day and it wasn't even on the menu but they were happy to oblige and make us breakfast's anyway.... The staff there are really friendly and especially the owner sean, he's a legend, he took care of our group all summer and made sure we had some great memorable nights there....!!
- Pros: Lots of Irish there.
- Cons: Closes at 1

NEW MENU in 2007! And new later kitchen hours. The bar has just been re-done including new more comfortable seating. Was already a great bar but the new renovations have only made it better! I can't wait to go have a pint!
- Pros: Cheap beer, good staff, good times
