The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is very laxed and the people make it worth while. They have a bunch of table games you can use and there's a nice back patio area as well. I will definitely come back to this place on my future visits to Porto.

Awesome selection of, mostly their own, beer but they do offer up some guest taps as well.

A favorite stop to grab a beer on a nice, mellow day. While Base is located (LITERALLY) on a…read moreshopping/food center, it feels like you are in a park. The trees boggle my mind and I enjoy sitting here with a beer, a good book, thinking about how the trees are so huge on top of a roof... The 360 degree view is stunning with Torre dos Clérigos on one side, University of Porto, and old buildings on the remainder. Kids, dogs, old and young will enjoy this stop. Don't expect to get an especially warm welcome here. After coming here an endless amount of times, I have yet to receive warmth. Thankfully this place is so cool my ego is quick to recover. :) A must do to grab alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks with a view.

Stop by Base on your next trip to Porto!…read more It is located at the top of a hill in the center of a beautifully maintained park right near the famous bookstore. I was so excited to go to Base after doing a ton of research online but as our luck would have it, it poured rain the whole time we were in Porto. They were closed so we didn't get to have a drink here. All of the tables are outdoor so try and hit it on a nice day if you can. Hopefully I can try it someday!

We visited this tiny little cafe/bar in Porto the first night we arrived…read more The ambiance is very chill and inviting. There is limited seating inside and outside. There were about 2-3 tables on the patio and 3-5 tables inside. The whole bar is set up with eclectic tastes, but, focuses on music and art. The owner had unique pieces from all over the world: vinyl records, art books, antiques, photos, paintings. Just a very visually stimulating place. The bar was fully stocked and offered local beers. We ordered the Super Bock, which locals claim is the best of all Portuguese beers (we have no opinion as we only tried one or two). The owner and bartender were close friends and serenaded the entire place. They gave us Porto style and Lisboa style music. If I could upload my video, I would! The bar is fairly priced. Our children shared a fresh squeezed lemonade for €2, I had a mixed drink for €2,5 and the hubby had the Portuguese beer for €3. There were some light snacks available. The great thing about this bar is that it's closely located to the metro. So you can take the metro at Trindade or Bolhão to get there. You must buy a ticket and validate. There is local police that monitor this. From the bar it's a short walk down to the historic Rio Duoro where you can view the city of Gaia across the river. The Dom Luis bridge is also very close. It's a great way to end your evening or start you evening. It's a place that left a memorable mark on my soul and I would bring my mother, grandmother and entire family there if it were an option. Don't be afraid to practice your Portuguese here either. The owner and staff do speak other languages but they're excited when tourists try and are happy to help out with pronunciation and vocabulary.

The fries are amazing, house cut, thin and crispy, simply delicious. Portions are nice and big so it's a good value. Staff is always friendly, service is fast, the place is clean. They have burgers and hot dogs as well but seriously you're doing yourself and your taste buds a disservice if you don't get the francesinhas. You have the option of more meat or less meat, egg or no egg, but the size is the same it's a matter of how tall it will be. Now parking may be a problem and the place may be a little hard to find but you're a few meters from Praça do peixe, by the ria so it's a wonderful part of town.
