What to Expect from the Porto Pub Crawl

The tour kicks off at Praça Gomes Teixeira at 10:30 pm, marked by a bright red umbrella—easy to spot after dark. From there, you’re led through a curated route of four lively bars, each with its own unique vibe, plus a stop at one of the city’s most popular nightclubs.

The Bars: These are places frequented by locals and visited regularly by tour guides, which often means a more authentic experience compared to tourist traps. The initial stop includes 6 drinks—shots, beer, and sangria—so you can settle in with a variety of options early on.

The Guide: We’re told guides are not just there to manage logistics but really to keep the energy up. Multiple reviews mention guides like Patricia and Alysson who dance with guests, sing along, and make sure everyone’s having a good time. This lively approach turns the crawl into more than just bar-hopping; it’s a party with friends you just met.

The Clubs: The night ends at Porto’s biggest nightclub, with skip-the-line entry included. The club is described as a vibrant, popular spot in the city center. If you enjoy dancing and socializing late into the night, you’ll love the energy here. Some reviews mention the music playlist being similar from bar to bar, but this doesn’t seem to dampen the overall fun.

The Drinks: Six drinks may sound modest, but considering they include shots, beer, and sangria, it’s enough to loosen everyone up and keep the night lively without overdoing it. Extra drinks aren’t included, so if you want more, you’ll need to pay on your own.

The Group Experience and Atmosphere

What makes this tour stand out is how many solo travelers and couples praise the guides for making everyone feel included. One reviewer said, “Allyson was a great guide, good fun, and got everyone dancing,” highlighting how the guides actively contribute to the experience.

The group size varies, but reviews mention around 30-40 people, which strikes a good balance—large enough for lively energy but small enough to connect with others comfortably. The reviews repeatedly emphasize the friendly, supportive vibe created by the guides, which is especially valuable if you’re traveling alone or want to meet new people.

The Itinerary in Detail

Let’s walk through what your night might look like:

• Starting Point: Praça Gomes Teixeira with the red umbrella, gathering point at 10:30 pm. This is a casual start, where you’ll meet your guides and fellow participants.
• First Bar: You’ll be greeted with your first drinks — shots, beer, and sangria. This initial stop sets the tone for a relaxed, fun evening.
• Subsequent Bars: Over the next couple hours, you’ll hop through three more bars, each with its own atmosphere. The focus is on fun, socializing, and dancing.
• Final Stop: The night culminates at the largest nightclub in Porto, where you’ll skip the queues and dive into the dance floor.

Reviews suggest that, despite the music playlist being somewhat similar across venues, the energy and guides’ antics make up for it. And many travelers say they wish the playlist had a bit more variety, but overall, the experience remains high-energy and enjoyable.

Value for Money and Practical Considerations

At $20 per person, this tour offers excellent value, especially when considering the drinks, guided experience, and VIP club access. It’s rare to find such a package that combines multiple bars, drinks, and a nightclub for this price, making it an accessible way to experience Porto’s nightlife.

However, keep in mind that extra drinks are not included, and if you’re someone who prefers a more laid-back night, this might be more intense than you want. Also, the tour lasts roughly 4 hours, which is a fairly energetic duration—expect to be on your feet and dancing most of the time.

The tour is only suitable for those 18 and older, and it’s not recommended for pregnant women or children. Dress comfortably, but avoid shorts and sportswear, as the dress code at some venues might be a tad more upscale.
