A great selection of real ales and vegetarian food so damn good that even the most meat loving person is going to love it. The nachos and wedges are fantastic, proper portions and great flavours, and both work incredibly well soaking up a few pints or more. Downstairs you can catch acoustic sets, comedy, DJs and all manner of local Bath "celebrities". As far as pubs go, I'm pretty convinced that you could live in Porter quite happily. It is laid back and unpretentious, and a great place to while away an afternoon. They show sport on a projection screen, so you can avoid the soul-less chav hole of the Litten tree over the road. There are tables outside for smokers, and on a sunny day, with a fresh pint of Bath Ales Gem in hand, Porter's is just ace.

The Porter is a great down to earth pub serving delicious vegetarian food. I recommend the Nachos or one of the toasties. The atmosphere of this place is so laid back its almost vertical, so while it can sometimes look a bit shabby, its somewhere that you can take a breather and enjoy a pint with friends.

The cellar bar downstairs takes it up a notch, and it gets busier at night being a popular student destination, but we're still only talking 45 degrees here...
