Porto may be awash with opportunities to enjoy a craft beer, but Catraio is where the trend began. Leading the charge for a new wave of laidback spaces serving Portuguese and international artisanal beers, Catraio opened in 2015 to an enthusiastic welcome from Porto's hop-loving community and has been a favorite ever since. You can hunker down in the cozy interior during winter, or enjoy the lively beer garden when the sun shines.
As the name suggests, this kiosk bar is situated at the heart of Porto's sightseeing and nightlife action. Set in leafy gardens next to the famous Clérigos Tower, the popular bar serves everything from 11 am espresso to midnight caipirinhas. There's no food on the menu, but if you want to relax with a drink beneath sun or stars, there's no better place to do it.
