Baixa Bar

Baixa Bar, in downtown Porto, is both an elegant bar with Parisian-like outdoor seating and a buzzing nightclub featuring all kinds of music and a mirrored ball hanging from the ceiling. So whether you are in the mood for just a few drinks or a full-on night out with your friends, this place has got you covered.

Bars & Nightlife

In central Porto, the liveliest place to head for is Ribeira — the vibrant historic heart of the city, which is also a popular students' haunt. For a flavour of traditional Portugal, go to a Fado bar to listen to a form of Portuguese blues with melancholic artists singing of lost loves and regrets. In Porto, the distinction between bars and nightclubs are slightly blurred, as most bars stay open until the early morning hours. However, if you want to dance the night away, Porto does have a lot to offer. From traditional Fado evenings to dance clubs in converted warehouses.
