Quick info
About Porters Freehouse
Porters Freehouse is a sports bar in Cirencester, found at 34 Castle St. Multiple large screens show live football and F1, giving customers a place to watch a match or a race over a drink. Beer is served at the bar, but no food is served there, so the focus stays on drinks and the sport on screen. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring their pets along to watch the screens.

“What appears to be the only sports bar in Cirencester, it lived up to its name with plenty of screens showing sport with decent beer as well. The toilets were lacking but other than that, it was a quirky quality bar.”
- greg Miodek
“The bartender was handling the cocktail glasses in a strange way—it looked disgusting—and he was very rude. It looked as if he was deliberately touching the rims to rub something onto them; it was revolting, and I will never go there again.”
- Andrew Brookes
“I found this establishment on Sunday it was perfect to watch the Italian Gran Prix, numerous large screen TVs and catered for both live football as well as F1. Service was super friendly, great beer too”
- Brian Carlstrom
“Went for a quick bite on a Sunday afternoon and was told they don't serve any food. Please update your listing .”
- gary lee
“Looks very tired, men screaming and swearing at the football.”
