The Best Bars in Porto

Porto's cocktail bars take the craft seriously, and the city's own wine finds its way into the glass. The best bars in Porto sit in the historic center and out in Bonfim. Near the Palácio da Bolsa, on Rua de Ferreira Borges, Curioso pairs warm hospitality with comfort food and a signature list it describes as food in liquid form, meant to bring a taste of the East to the city. On Rua do Ateneu Comercial do Porto, Big Bad Bank Bar sits in the ZERO Box Lodge building, beside the O Carniceiro restaurant, where a counter of tiles hand-painted by Paulo Ramuni faces the vault of the former Banco Mello. In Bonfim, Terraplana is a laid-back neighborhood spot for pizza and classics with a twist, and its From Douro With Love mixes Graham's white Port with lemongrass-infused sweet vermouth and St-Germain. Curioso and Big Bad Bank both take table bookings. These are the bars we would start with.
