Established in 2010, Porter & Sons is a long-standing Tel Aviv pub and brasserie renowned for its extensive selection of over 50 beers on tap, including aged options. It offers a classic 'Bar and Grill' atmosphere with a European style, known for consistently good food, especially its meat dishes, and monthly themed menus.
Customer Perception
Generally positive, with customers praising the vast beer selection, delicious food (particularly the burgers, smoked meats, and house sausages), and professional, friendly service. The atmosphere is described as warm and inviting, with good music. Some reviews mention the smoked brisket can be inconsistent (dry or cubed instead of sliced) and prices are perceived as slightly high by some, though others find it solid value for the quality. Vegan and fish options are appreciated.
Additional Details
Located near the Tel-Aviv Cinemateque, slightly off the main tourist track but easily accessible. The restaurant operates a dedicated Smokehouse during lunch hours (12:00-17:00) offering a variety of smoked meats. The interior design evokes a European bar ambiance.
I had a wonderful time here! 🤩 The food was absolutely delicious, and the beer I had was excellent. 🍻 It's a shame that many beers were unavailable, but what they did have was top-notch. I'd definitely come back for more! 😋👍
Wonderful beer selection, central location with plenty of parking lots around, a great place for a night out with friends.
Service is great, the waiters were lovely and extremely helpful.
The food is super delicious. I asked for a medium cooked burger and it was perfectly made. Despite my dietary restrictions (no-gluten and no-sugar) there were enough options for me on the menu.
There are various side dishes which are also great, nicely served and fit the main course to satisfy all texture desires.
Will definitely return.
Thank you for a lovely evening. :)
My favorite pub in Tel Aviv and Israel altogether!
The hall is big; The atmosphere is somewhat relaxing even when the place is crowded; The music is nice and integrates well into the general atmosphere.
There is a wide selection of beers, both draft and bottled. It's quite rare to find such diverse selection in an Israeli pub.
Regarding the food - although the food selection is not as wide as the beers', there are a few dishes which have been served for a long time and you always want to come back for them: The House Sausages, The Spare Ribs and of course The Sainte-Maure Hamburger which is a true delight!
Lately, the place has been offering monthly special themed menus, which diversifies the food selection even more!
The Smokehouse, which operates between 12:00 and 17:00, offers a nice variety of smoked meats that will suite (almost) everyone's taste.
We went on the tour inside the beer producing section at Porter & Sons, with Yoav. It was really interactive and interesting tour. The beer tasting afterwards was great, really interesting kind of beers. Came back a few times already!
Your classic Bar and Grill. Excellent beer selection, high-quality dishes and service with perfect timing and professionalism.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the restaurants stuff is professional and helpful, the chef does excellent job with all of the dishes that includes some of your bar favorite such as sausages and hamburgers but not only they do offer some fantastic vegan options as well as seasonal items.
The music is fantastic in the background the service is again high quality and the price is exactly what you would expect from a fantastic bar and grill.
The restaurant design is beautiful and takes you right into a European style bar, easy public transportation around and relatively short distance parking lots are available.
I would advise to make a reservation as the place tend to be packed during dinner time, and this place is highly recommended.
