Rua do Prior is known for its wide selection of late-closing bars. Friday and Saturday nights are the best time for barhopping.
Set against the old city walls, Bago is a modern take on the Portuguese tavern. Inside, sleek black shelves showcase more than 180 wines, from crisp organic whites to rich, Douro reds, all organized by region and available by the glass or bottle. The kitchen runs all day, offering tibornas (bread drizzled in olive oil), charcuterie, and small plates.
Housed in a 600-year-old building in the heart of the historic district, this bar draws a trendy crowd. Outside tables are set in a picturesque cobblestone square, while the atmospheric interior—complete with brick-arch ceilings—is impressive and cool.
