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!

TL;DR: If you're doing a cocktail crawl or just need a break…read morefrom wine, it's worth your time. Not something to plan your day around, but a place you'd return to if you lived nearby. Drinks: Thoughtful and well executed, though not mind blowing. Memorable enough, and among the better cocktails we had in Porto without being the best. Service: Really good. Attentive without overdoing it. Vibe: Feels like a neighborhood spot slightly off the main path. You'll walk a darker block or two to get there, but it pays off with a quieter, more local feel. What could be better: Cocktails don't quite reach standout territory. This isn't where you go for your top drink of the trip.

Nothing stood out and because I'm writing this several months late, I can't remember if anything was good. It wasn't bad, but honestly at this point I can't remember. I think people came here more to drink. I'd have to go back to get a better assessment of this place. It's been so long, I have very little memory of it other than what I started to write and that didn't look promising.

Awesome spot for sunset cocktails…read more Highlights: - Small rooftop with a few tables outside with a great view of the river and sunset - Selection of cocktails and wine--even have a port tasting flight if you'd like - I got a spritz and some sparkling green wine. - Homemade boozy popsicles: sounded so good, wish I would've gotten one on a warm day. - Menu of some snacks if you're hungry - Jazz music playing on the speakers--some nights (believe it's Thursday) it's live music - When you're ready for your bill, you pay inside so you don't have to wait for the waitress. Lowlights: - Very hard to find. From the main street it's up a small alleyway halfway up the stairs by a building under construction. Apple maps did not have it right and we came from the top of the hill down and could not find it. Switched to Google maps and saw it was up the stairs. - Only 1 waitress so hard to get a hold of her. - Make a reservation--we did just in case but didn't think we really needed them. All tables outside were booked the day we went. Enjoyed the sunset here--once we got there.

We didn't have any experience with Vermouth before coming here, and we were delighted with the amazing selections of vermouth and cocktails. The drinks we ordered were delicious, one vermouth on ice, and once mixed cocktail. Too bad we only decided to walk in on our last night here, we would have been back again. It was a chill upscale vibe in the middle of some rowdy bars in the neighborhood.
