Say Hello

New Ownership!

Ryan and Christine Piper purchased Porters’ Pub & Restaurant from the Porter brothers in January of 2024. What makes this transition particularly special is the profound personal connection between the new owners and the pub itself. Ryan and Christine met at Porters’ Pub back in the early 2000s, got married and went off to start a family of their own. Christine served as the front-of-the-house manager, while Ryan worked in the kitchen as well as bartending out front.  Most recently, Ryan has been working at offsite events like Baconfest and the Easton Winter Village, while Christine has been helping the Pub’s marketing and branding efforts. 

Both Ryan and Christine are delighted to return to the place where their love story began. Their decision to take over Porters’ Pub is driven by a shared passion for the pub’s unique ambiance, its loyal customer base, and the desire to continue the legacy that the Porter brothers have worked tirelessly to create.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

The Corner of 7th & Northampton St

The Porter brothers purchased a dilapidated building on the corner of 7th and Northampton in 1988. At the time, Easton PA was not the place to invest. The building dates back to 1843 and has had various incarnations over the years as a stagecoach stop, a clothing store, a hardware store, and several restaurants.

After extensive renovations to the building, the Porter brothers opened on May 16th, 1990. After their first day in business, they closed the register with a profit of $62!
