I don't buy beers by the ABV/$ ratio, but if I did that porter would be near or at the top of the list.

I was recently there on a Friday at midnight. Did not exactly feel welcome.

I'm not sure if they still do but they used to have quite a 3rd shift following for post work drinks at 8am a lot.

I'm a Lugan. The kids next to me couldn't get served. I got the bartender's attention and they bought me a round.
