Porto: Pub Crawl with 7 Drinks, 4 Bars & Club Skip-the-Line

Summary

Porto nightlife comes alive with laughter, games and late-night club beats

You’ll jump into Porto’s nightlife with a local guide leading you through four lively bars, playing drinking games and sharing seven included drinks along the way. Make friends over cold beers and shots before skipping the line into one of Porto’s top clubs to dance or just soak up the city’s late-night energy. You might even find yourself laughing at memories days later.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the yellow umbrellas bobbing above the crowd near Fonte dos Leões — honestly, I almost walked right past them. There was this low hum of voices and clinking glasses drifting from nearby bars, and our guide (João, grinning like he’d already won at beer pong) waved us over. It felt a bit awkward at first — you know that moment when you’re not sure if you’ll actually talk to anyone? But then someone handed me a tiny glass of sangria and suddenly it was just easy.

We started at this bar tucked between tiled buildings, where everyone sort of loosened up over drinking games. I tried flip cup for the first time (terrible at it), but nobody cared — there was this group from Spain cheering for everyone, and João kept making these little jokes in Portuguese that half the group understood but still laughed anyway. The beer was cold, the air smelled faintly sweet from spilled cider on sticky tables, and every so often you’d catch a breeze from the open door. I didn’t expect to feel so welcome so quickly.

By the third spot — more of a clubby bar with neon lights bouncing off old stone walls — people were swapping stories about their hometowns. Someone ordered shots for the table; I’m still not sure what was in them but they burned in a good way. We moved as a pack through Porto’s narrow streets (I nearly tripped on those slippery cobblestones), following João’s yellow umbrella like some weird parade. The city felt alive, even after midnight — music leaking out from every doorway.

The last stop was this club where we skipped straight past the line outside (felt a little smug about that). Inside: bass thumping so hard you could feel it in your chest, lights flickering everywhere. Some people danced until sunrise; I ended up outside for a bit just watching Porto glow under streetlights with new friends I hadn’t known five hours before. Still think about that view sometimes — how easy it felt to belong here.
