The best bars and cafés Porto And North

Each level of this place dedicated to rock has its own bar with guitars, gold and platinum records, jackets, dresses and all sorts of accessories that belonged to the biggest rock stars in the world. On large flat screens, videos of songs and concerts are shown continuously, at a sound level that allows for conversation. It is both intimate and public. A small stage allows you to attend live concerts, held 2-3 times a week. A generous list of colorful cocktails, with or without alcohol, completes the offer.

Ideal for a break after a walk to the mouth of the Douro! Casa Aberta offers a menu of tapas and more elaborate dishes. Meat lovers will appreciate the grilled meats, a specialty of the house. The wine list features a nice selection of local whites and reds. You can also enjoy cocktails or vintage ports. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm. Soak up the gentle energy of Casa Aberta.

In the heart of the historic center, in this yellow house, you can drink a good cocktail or enjoy a quality meal (typical dishes brought up to date that the jovial owner will advise you). Upstairs, good music and a relaxed atmosphere. Several rooms and some tables installed on the square offer different atmospheres with, on weekends, DJ and small concerts. A good place to discover the atmosphere of the nights ofGuimarães. All in a modern and elegant decoration. Quality service, available and attentive.

This very nice bar is always busy, especially in the summer, probably because of its huge and great terrace overlooking Chaves. The inhabitants as well as the visitors love this place. Installed in the ramparts of the city, the establishment has beautiful walls of old stones which, combined with a modern and coloured decoration, give it a crazy charm. Good music always appreciable at the end of the day. You can eat with your family or relax most of the evening with friends while sipping delicious cocktails with or without alcohol.

The typical and chic old café par excellence where all generations mingle, from the old ones who come every day to the young customers of the new generation. A must-see, to understand the pleasure of conversation, and the notion of waiting that characterizes the saudade of the Portuguese people. Café A Brasileira is, as you will have understood, one of the emblematic cafés of Braga, located in the heart of the historical district. Tea room, bar, snack, there is something for everyone, all day long. Impeccable, smiling and dynamic service. Recommended.

A bar to go forward or to get lost in the night... with shots (small glasses of alcohol and liquor), the house specialty that we drink dry while dancing on the last rock releases. The terrace is as lively as the interior. El Rock Bar is also open during the day. You can sit outside to have a drink or a coffee, with always good music resounding (less loud obviously than in the evening). A convivial place, favourable to the sympathetic meetings. Quality service, dynamic and available.

One of the emblematic cafés of the city of Porto that opened its doors in 1909. In this huge room with its large wooden tables, people come during the day to drink a coffee or eat a dish of the day. When the night falls and the bar fills up with the youth of Porto, it is difficult to move around and the waiting time is longer than during off-peak hours. On the walls there are many writings and poems by personalities who praise the virtues of this coffee. It's up to you to read them! And for the amateurs of shots, the prices defy any competition.

A direct address on the Ribeira. Café do Cais is a bar-snack-restaurant not to be missed on the quays. It serves drinks, francesinhas, croques and salads in a good mood. The octopus salad is a must try. The view is splendid! You will come there to have a drink, to eat a piece before continuing the visit of the city, or to savor a more substantial dish to finish well the day. A smiling and helpful reception, sometimes a little overwhelmed by the large number of customers. We invite you to be a little patient.

Pipa Velha is a very nice bar, emblematic in Porto for more than 30 years, where to go at any time from the beginning of the evening until half of the night. The menu will offer you good snacks(pesticides) and drinks (alcoholic or not) at very good prices. We especially appreciate the relaxed atmosphere with a good musical program. Totally relaxed! Some people say that they drink the best white sangria in Porto, others say that the red one is better. Smoking and non-smoking areas. A recommended address.

A REAL café, with a wrought iron entrance and, on the wall, plaques donated by the graduate students of the past. On one side of the room, square tables where they work, on the other, round tables around which the regulars, clearly older, chat. Choose your side. In any case, a beautiful concentrate of the life of Porto. To fill your stomachs, snacks including the famous francesinha are obviously on the menu... The latter is even better accompanied by French fries served in a small basket.

This cafe bar is one of the most appreciated addresses by local youth. Programming more R & B in week and house on weekends.

Inside this pretty little yellow ochre house located in a historical area of Porto, near the Ferreira Borges market, is this nice bar and restaurant with old stone walls. It serves small petiscos, francesinhas and other dishes of traditional Portuguese cuisine. Every guest will find something to his liking. You will regularly hear live music at the end of the week. Short but efficient menu and wines up to the level of the good advice of the staff. A diverse and warm public. An appreciable and recommended place.

In the spirit of the great cafés. Under the arcades, small tables to read while sipping a glass of local wine. The menu is varied, but it is an original bacalhau in chestnut crust that caught our attention. The Astoria is one of the busiest coffee bars in the city. Sign of the times, the establishment has a discotheque on the floor which programs thematic evenings. A heterogeneous place that will delight a large public during the day and night. A place that brings together locals and tourists under one roof. Impeccable service.

The Galliano is a café-restaurant during the day and also a rather "trendy" bar at night. Urban and contemporary, it is a nice place with a mini eucalyptus forest in its beautiful interior. On the plate: chicken, francesinha, octopus, etc. And, more original, the Galliano proposes you rooster, delicious. The portions are quite generous. The wine list is very complete so don't hesitate to ask about the best nectar to accompany your meal, the waiters will be happy to help you. Impeccable service.

A huge fan bar perfect for watching a soccer or rugby match. There are screens everywhere so you don't miss anything of the show. The decoration with the scarves and the jerseys of the different teams is very nice. Large choice of beers and cocktails, you can take a snack type rather correct not to drink on an empty stomach. The prices are very reasonable and the waiters, often overworked, remain friendly. Table soccer and darts. Come early on game nights. Payment in cash only.
