If you want more port wine after visiting the lounges, you should come here. if you want something other than port wine, you should definitely come here! Not to mention that they have lots of tapas, including the francesinha sandwich. When you walk in, this looks like a small bar, long and narrow. Make your way to the end and walk down the flight and stairs... and be prepared to be wowed by the beautiful basement. Lovely pine wood furnishing, walls of wines, very comfortable chair. You won't want to leave. Also, it's open till late... 2am on weekdays and 4am on weekends.

If you're ever have the opportunity to visit Porto, Portugal, you're in for a real treat. Our short…read moretrip to Porto we ate at several very nice places and enjoyed lots of great wine. But by far our favorite evening was spent on the banks of the Duro river, drinking wine and ordering small plates of food at Wine Quay Bar. We got really lucky to get a primo spot overlooking the Douro at the wine bar; it was picture perfect. With the help of the server we ordered a Douro Valley wine - a dry, fruity white. It was tastilicious. This place had an all appetizer menu -- like tapas in Spain. We had olives, a sublime soft sheep's milk cheese, bread, sardines in tomato sauce and pigs feet ... indescribably succulent, all of it. This place is a no-brainer for some of the most amazing food and wine in one of the most beautiful places one could enjoy them.

How ignorant! There's so many! The port I know and love are the aged Tawny ports. Another category is called Ruby, and they're the juicier, sweeter redder ones: very delicate, not much wood flavour. They talked about the Vintage and Late Bottle Vintage (LBV) for the Ruby ports. There's also white ports, and they can be dry or sweet and are generally served as an apéritif. There's also colheitas which are single year Tawny ports from a really good year, which needs to be announced by the governing body. Really neat stuff. Definitely a high bar for wine standards. You can do 3 or 6 samples, 30 cl each, in either the base level or the more premium stuff. I did the tasting of 6 premium ones. The atmosphere isn't the most spacious or comfortable but you're not there for that, you're there for the port! They show all the bottles with the glasses so you can read them and take your time experiencing them and comparing them. It was a really great experience and I would highly recommend it to get a proper port experience.

Unfortunately, the food fell short, despite the gorgeous presentation, the reason for the 4 star rating. The octopus was fresh, however over cooked. Similar with the rack of lamb, tough around the edges. The service is quite lax, if you're not on a schedule, then that shouldn't be an issue, otherwise recommend being proactive. Come here for the view, the ambiance, and to share drinks and the experience with partner/date, family and friends.

They have a great selection of wines and ports. We started with a ruby port and a Madeira. The service was great and both were very good. They brought out some popcorn as well which was nice. We then had a 20 year tawny port that was excellent. It is a very comfortable place and great for couples or groups. Then we did not eat, but saw them preparing a meat and cheese plate. They put so much care into and it looked fabulous. Definitely worth a visit.

This business advertises as a bar, but it also Sells food albeit with a more limited menu. The alcohol menu here is fairly diverse, but heavily weighted towards wine where there are roughly 15 cocktails to choose from and some beer selections as well. While here I ordered their classic margarita, which was well-made and quite tasty. One minor gripe though is that my drink did not have enough ice but considering that I am in wine country and this is Europe beggars can't be choosers right? Also the size/volume was a bit on the light side as well. Having said that this place was ok from a cocktail perspective where the staff was friendly and views of Porto and the Douro river are great. Rating only as a bar I give this place three stars due to the shortcomings listed above. The better bar is down the street at the Irish Co but unfortunately was closed on this day. That would be my prime recommendation followed by a distant second for this place.
