I've been to the Porch too many times to count. Because I had class in the Cathedral regularly, this was something me and my friends/classmates did after class. We went at least twice a month for almost two full years.
Although I like The Porch, my one big complaint is the alcoholic beverages they serve. Like, WHY CANT I TASTE ANY ALCOHOL IN THE COCKTAILS? I've had pitchers as well as glasses of sangria, margaritas, their lemonade and their Arnold Palmer type cocktail, and I feel like I've probably had some kind of well drink as well. One time we purchased a pitcher and then asked how much it would cost to add an additional shot and was told one shot would be $8.00. EIGHT DOLLARS. I'm not trying to get sloshed, but come on. I know it's practically on a college campus and there are a bunch of college kids would *might* drink too much, but I just want a proper cocktail. If I wanted no alcohol, I would have just had water.
Now onto the reasons I still visit The Porch:
-During the week they have half off pizzas after 9pm
-Their desserts are awesome. I've had way too many donuts and gelato to even truthfully explain on yelp.
-A lot of the apps, especially the pretzels.
-The location.
