- Porters stands with the Boston's West End’s long tradition of working hard and playing hard.
- Circa 1630 (well before it was land-filled with the top of Beacon Hill) you’d be treading water in the Mill Pond, home of Boston’s first shipyard, where later the 15,000lb anchor line for the USS Constitution was made.
- Two blocks over - Canal Street in the 1800's was the end-point of the hand-dug Middlesex Canal, leading to Haymarket.
- “Porters” worked on the canal, bringing produce from the boats to market.
- "Porters" were also employed by the six railroad lines in the neighborhood, carrying passengers’ luggage to the trains.
- We still enjoy the delicious dark beer that London's Porters drank nicknamed 'porter'.
- In the later 1800’s, immigrants flooded in to work in factories, leading the city to build hundreds of tenements. That strange stand-alone brick building behind The TD Garden...that’s the last of those tenement buildings.
- Is all this “building the foundations of America” making you thirsty? Not a problem...
- Porters is the perfect place to grab a drink and a meal before a show or a game at The TD Garden, and then to grab a few more drinks afterward.
- Long day at work? Pick from our rotating selections of New England craft beers available on tap, right next to your favorite old standbys.
- In the West End, we’re still putting in the hours and having the fun that makes Boston great.
- Welcome to our tradition.
