We were in the Porterhouse, Temple Bar on a Wednesday from about 8.30 p.m. til close. The Porterhouse is hugely popular, and I think it's because it really does have something for everyone. At least beverage wise: there's all the usuals, a good cocktail selection, an extensive selection of bottled beers, not to mention their own brews.
Plus food! (Though we only had chips, but they were good. But if the chips are bad, what's the point?)
The Porterhouse is maze-like, with lots of levels and mezzanines, so while finding people is a bit of a challenge, its also possible to avoid people should the situation require it. Plenty of seats, though finding a free one can be quite the challenge. It's got a lot of nooks and crannies, which I like. Due to it's popularity, it gets totally jammers. Good atmosphere, but they can get a little volume-happy with the music.
In brief:
Halt! Who goes there: All sorts. And tourists. Not that they're not "sorts"!
The ensemble: Jeans and runners, though you wouldn't be out of place dressed up.
The facilities: Lots of stairs to get to the toilets, and there aren't enough of them, but they've got a hair straightener....
J'approuve!
