Historical version 9 of Market Porter, SE1 9AA (view current version)

Good Beer Guide pub located on the edge of Borough Market.

Serves a wide range of beers. Normally has at least 8 different beers on, normally very random things you will see in very few other places. Beer quality can sometimes be variable but has become more consistently good again recently.

Has won Beer in the Evening "Pub of the year" in 2006 and has a small stack of CAMRA awards on the back of the bar.

The seating downstairs has recently been extended, with the toilets having been moved downstairs. This has made this pub much more pleasant since you're more likely to get a seat on a weeknight. People often don't seem to notice the area at the back, so it's a good idea to walk all the way to the back of the pub when looking for a seat.

Has an early licence for the market workers.

Rammed on Saturdays due to people going to Borough Market, as well as on some evenings. There is a lot of room outside, with people standing around inside the closed market sometimes, which sometimes means that there is more space inside than you might think. They serve plastic glasses to those going outside on busy nights.

Bar food between noon and 3pm, Mon-Fri. There is also a restaurant. Although I've never been in either when food is being served -- bob
