Catraio

Catraio is a craft beer bar and bottle shop on Rua de Cedofeita, and it specialises in Portuguese craft beer. The taps and fridges lean on breweries from around the country, from Porto to the Minho and Lisbon, and the staff are quick with advice if you do not know where to start.

It works as an early stop on the way into town or as a quieter evening away from the Galerias crowds, and you can take bottles home. Hours vary through the year, so check before a late visit. Not for you if you want a party: this is a place to talk and taste, not to dance.
