I've recently heard a lot of great things about Porco, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Stopped in here last night after a show at Hilarities and was not the least bit disappointed.
Our bartender Shannon gave us an overview of the history of the bar and then gave us some recommendations before making us some awesome drinks. I couldn't really narrow down what I wanted so I just trusted his expertise with my choice.
The drinks are pricey, but for good reason because they are STRONG. I asked for a Thursday-appropriate strength drink (Planet of the Apes is what he chose) seeing as I had to work the next morning, and it still packed a hell of a punch.
The atmosphere is everything you would hope it would be (aside from being in a bit of a sketchier area), the waitstaff are great, and its overall just a really fun place to grab a cocktail.
I even snagged some nachos to go before heading out, and they either accidentally gave me a double order or have the most ginormous order of nachos you've ever seen. They were a delightful little drunk snack when I got home - I'm not even really sure what's all on them, but they were delicious!
The best part? I expected the next morning to wake up feeling pretty miserably hungover, but actually felt really rejuvenated! I don't know if I should chalk that up as a fluke, or if it had something to do with all the yummy juices they put in the drinks, but I'm hoping it's the latter. Either way I'll be back!
