Porterhouse Grill & Pub

Nice neighborhood bar. The staff is always nice and the food is good. I love the fried pickles and the fact that they have different events throughout the week (bingo, karoake, etc).

This place is absolutely awesome I visited them about a week ago during their Sunday brunch. They offered $20 Bottomless mimosas and the outdoor patio was a great place to enjoy any meal any time of day. We had an epic time on the patio was filled with high energy. We were there celebrating a birthday and when we sang Happy Birthday or celebrated other tables started singing with us and started chanting with us. So we did the same to the other parties and it was sooo fun. The menu items were priced very reasonably and did I say the mimosas were off the chain? They were. I ordered a tuna Tatar and it was unbelievably amazing and I don't even eat raw fish. I also had a taste of a chicken taco that was amazing. I highly recommend this place for great food and a great time.

Nice place for lunch. Food and staff were very good. Unfortunately they only served craft beers with no major brands… for those who are not familiar with the many craft breweries. We also were seated on a rear table, right next to the kitchen which was unfortunate. Our adjacent table also had chairs added at the end, that made it quite tight. We had burgers, a chicken sandwich and Cobb Salad. Parking available behind the shops.

Lunch here was a treat. Our waiter Derek was great! Shortly after we were seated he brought us water (finally someone just took the liberty to give water without us having to ask for it) and took our appetizer order. We had the Green Chili Chicken and Cheese Flautas and 1 1/2 lb Jumbo Chicken Wings. The wings were big and hot. They are some of the largest wings I have had in Georgia. This was a good choice it wasn’t heavy and they were good. For an entree I had the Herb Crusted Salmon and it was delicious and filling. My companion had the Steak Frites which he enjoyed. For our drinks we enjoyed the Bottomless Mimosas. Derek continue to fill not only our mimosa glass but also our water. Even after we paid our bill and we sat to talk for a little while Derek continued to fill our water. He was very nice, friendly and sweet. Thank you Derek for making our first visit to Kaleidoscope a pleasant and welcoming one!!

I can’t recommend this place enough. This was always one of our favorite restaurants/bars when we lived in north Atlanta. The food is delicious and the bar is bountiful. Ask for “the Deuce” when ordering a drink. He is the greatest bartender that ever lived. There’s not even a close second. Beyond the great bartender, this place has an award winning delicious burger, bottomless mimosas on the weekend, and is a just great spot for watching sports. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. There is parking behind the building. My minimal pictures don’t do it justice.

Guy in the hat working was so rude. I explained to him that my fries had sugar on them. He said “ya??” Like what’s your point. I said it’s the first time in 41 years I’ve tasted sugar on my fries. He then barked at me that he just got here as if I’m supposed to magically know his schedule, and know not to ask him for help Like I was putting him out. Then my mom went to the bar to get change and he turned his back and pretended she wasn’t there. I got my waitress to bring fries since he was so frazzled by my request and he brings the fries out after her realizing she already took care of it. Gives me a dirty look and says, “my bad” Sarcastically I explained to my waitress how rude he was and she just made excuses for him that he just woke up like that somehow justifies being rude and unhelpful. He doesn’t belong in the service industry at all. Nobody in their right mind wants to pay to be treated like that.

I came in to grab some lunch and catch the end of the falcons game but I regretted it. The first bartender I had was cool but after the shift change the service was terrible. I was totally ignored by the new bartender. When I asked to close out my tab instead of asking for the name on the tab like a normal person, the 40 year old frat bro bartender stared at me and made a face at me like I was an idiot. The food was mediocre. The salsa for the chips and salsa was definitely straight out of a Pace jar. Wings were decent but dry. The bar itself seems like a fine sports bar to watch a football game on Sunday but I would not want to stick around for that long with these guys. I definitely will not be coming back.

What a great time at Ace’s Place!! Food is really good!! Chef Myke’s BBQ is absolutely amazing!! Service was great!! Bartenders super friendly!! But can only give three stars because DJ Ace took my girlfriend Daryl home the other night!!

great food and service!! The atmosphere for games is awesome! can't wait to come back again. hopefully you get Brittany!

Food: 8.5/10 Service:10/10 Ambiance:8.5/10 Great neighborhood spot in Brookhaven. FYI: if you make a reservation on Yelp, you may not have a reservation listed on their books. They advised me upon arrival that they do not use Yelp reservations and it's best to either call or use their site. -watermelon margarita is on point! -buffalo wrap is really good!

This place took over for the very successful for over a decade Kaleidoscope. It's a great location in the heart of Brookhaven. Parking can be a little tricky up front, but there is a large lot around the back. It looks like they didn't really change the interior at all. Maybe a fresh coat of paint. The service is sub par in every aspect. From entering to the bar to the table service. It's trying to be a casual place with premium food, but fails in so many ways. You pay a premium price for sub par food. It just doesn't fit. So many people wanted this place to be a good successor to Kaleidoscope. After a failed initial opening due to violations, and not offering a solid meal at a solid price, Brookhaven is left to wait until this place fails and maybe something better comes along. Lastly, the owner of this place thinks it's appropriate to make posts on social media bashing former ownership and preaching some holier than thou business philosophy. It's just weird honestly. Don't give this guy your money. He has no class.

This place is newish. This has been a local bar for years but it is under new management with new style and new menu. I like this establishment. The staff are nice and the vibe is chill. They are still trying to hire enough staff to handle the crowds. Have patience. I sat at the bar both visits and had a good time. Plenty of TVs and I had a good time. Second visit they were doing Trivia night (Tuesday). I tried the $3 draft beer which was not a light beer. It was an IPA that was full of flavor and quite refreshing. The beer was only $3 because it was not selling and they wanted to get it out. Friday and Saturdays are $1 wings (minimum 8). I got the buffalo lemon pepper wings. You cannot see the lemon pepper seasoning but the wings taste extremely good and are the right level of crispy. I got the ribeye covered in blue cheese butter with fries and brussel sprouts. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and is a good steak. The fries are decent. The brussel sprouts are good. I got the Black and Blue burger. They forgot the bacon but brought it out to me quickly. The sweet potato waffle fries are some the best I have ever had. They sprinkle some type of powdered sugar on them. I will come back for the fries alone.

I went to this restaurant yesterday with my friends. When we got seated, they table was covered in crumbs and was stick. My friend ended up cleaning it up. Next we ordered our drinks and there was no refills. We were waiting for over half an hour to order our food. We ordered a molten lava cake. We waited an another half hour for our food. In a matter of ten minutes we saw that our food was done at the kitchen. After about an half an hour later we got up and went to the kitchen and asked for our food. We also did not get silverware, so we had to ask for it as well. We also had to ask for the check. After we left, we called to speak with the manager we got told he was on break even after we waited for another hour to call again. I will never go here again on account for the horrible service and disrespect toward me and my friends.

I gave them 3 shots over a couple months, and I won't be going back. The food was pretty good, but the service was atrocious. When we sat outside it took 20 minutes before we were even acknowledged, and the service for the rest of the meal was incredibly slow. When we sat at the bar on a different night, the bartender seemed annoyed that we were there. The menu options and vibe are just very weird (one time there was DJ playing to any empty restaurant on a Tuesday night at 9:30). It's like the place doesn't know what it wants to be. We loved Kaleidoscope, and this is a prime spot, so it's a shame we didn't get something better.

Place is in the prime location in Brookhaven ... and everything about it is awful. Way overpriced menu, check. Bland, mushy food, check. Slow, inattentive servers, check. Sports bar ambiance with baby TVs, check. Won't be going back until they are a new establishment that better fits the neighborhood.

We always have the best experience at Porterhouse. Love the wide variety of menu options and everything we've tried is SOOO good. Always great service from Brittany and a great place to watch a game.

I joined a dozen friends last night for dinner at PorterHouse Grill and Pub on Dresden. We had a wide variety of menu items and everybody agreed the food was fantastic . Our server Kenzie really showed up strong to make sure we were taken care of and they had a Tuesday trivia night with "DJ Ace" and he was awesome. Turned a great dinner into a fun party. Hope to make this our regular Tuesday night spot.

Slow as molasses service (if anyone even acknowledges you), crappy,overpriced food. Definitely pick somewhere else in Brookhaven. This place really took a turn for the worse. I miss Kaleidoscope.

We live in the neighborhood and really hoped for them to have success after losing Kaleidoscope but now after 4 attempts spread out over several months, we won't waste another night out eating here. The food has been bad every time. We initially blamed it on being new and working out the menu but tonight a simple buffalo chicken wrap was messed up twice. I ordered without tomato and of course came with them. Probably should have just dealt with it...but I just really don't like the taste. The second one was just gross. Not fried chicken (or if it was it was unrecognizable) and just drowned in so much sauce it was falling apart when you picked it up. Fries were good at least. The servers are nice and try hard but spread too thin. Left empty plates and cups on the table for the duration of the visit. We gave it time and numerous chances. Absolutely would not recommend.

I used to go to this restaurant when it was kaleidoscope and I was skeptical of the new porterhouse as the location in Athens, GA is known as an expensive steakhouse. I was very happy to see the menu was still very similar to a sports bar, but it does have some nicer items. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our food and drinks and will be going again. The $1 wings are Friday and Saturday is a fantastic deal!

Won't go back. Saw a bartender berate a customer for closing out his tab and later ordering another drink. Was a mid-understanding, no doubt, but poor service standards.

Greasy and disgusting. I would say "drink only," but the draft beer taps weren't working. You're better off picking up a six-pack and hitting the drive-thru at McDonalds.

Love this place! My wife and I have been here 3 times now--and will be back. Casual. Lots of TV's. Great deck (pet friendly. Well established place in Athens, GA and hope this outpost does well The food is really good and varies from sandwiches, salads, pizza, wings and steaks. We're working our way through the menu. Service has been good all three visits. Great games on the TV's. The name may make you think it's a steakhouse. They have steaks, but my advice is to frame it up as a something between great sports bar and casual steak place --and you'll be pleased. Great place!!

Upon my first visit this seems like a solid place to hang out and watch games. I had the $1 wings that they serve on Friday & Saturday. They definitely were good and did the job. My gf had the lemon drop martini & said it was better than your average martini. The service was good as well. I think this will end up being a solid addition to Dresden Drive.

This place is just awful. Nothing else to really say. Yes, it is that bad. Since yelp makes me have a minimum length I will just repeat that it is that bad.

Went for my 2nd visit and after a rocky 1st time I was impressed. I was a regular at KPub and frankly a little disappointed with Porterhouse a few weeks after opening. Now they seemed to have worked out a lot of service issues and the food, including wings and burgers are very good The calamari appetizer was excellent. KPub was a neighborhood stable and I hope locals give this place a chance.

Just awful. Bring back kaleidoscope. Weird vibe. It's a bar but they took out the TVs? Food was mid. Service was subpar even though there was nobody there. For the cost of rent here, can't see it lasting more than a year.

Long overdue review but I'm glad I waited! A good friend treated my 93 y/o mom and I to a birthday lunch here a few weeks ago; everything about the experience was wonderful. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and personable. Even better, however, was that my mom revisited the restaurant today and they remembered her. To me, food is secondary to atmosphere and good service. When you find a place that excels at both you should put it at the top of your 'go to' list. Thank you, Porterhouse Grill- we'll be back soon!
