Where to Drink and Dance in Porto, Portugal

bar

Aduela

Porto, Portugal

Aduela is the trendiest, hippest spot in town. It has reasonable prices, good wine and a lively atmosphere. They’ve recently added an esplanade with an olive tree – one of the city’s symbols. People work the bar during the day but by 8PM you can’t see for young people standing with a glass of red wine in hand.

Address

Rua das Oliveiras 36, 4050

bar

Baixaria

Porto, Portugal

Baixaria is the place to come if you want to drink good mojitos while listening to samba or a casual jam. It is located in one of the most vivid night spots in town. From there you can stroll into another five or six bars nearby – though none are quite as cheerful as Baixaria.

Address

Rua da Almada, 224 4000-407

bar

Plano B

Porto, Portugal

Plano B closes at 6AM (if you survive that long) and is a surprising place. It’s a nightclub inside of an old building decorated with chandeliers, dummies on the bar and stage curtains – choose between three different rooms, each playing different music. Remember not to turn up before 3AM, unless you want to be dancing alone…

Rua Cândido dos Reis, 30 4050-150

bar

The Wine Box

Porto, Portugal

There’s no want for choice at The Wine Box, with more than 450 types of wine from the most diverse Portuguese regions served by glass. Skip the vineyard tour and opt instead for a port tasting paired with small bites, including huevos rotos (broken eggs) and Iberian ham.
