Portas Largas
Once a tasca (tavern), this well-loved Bairro Alto linchpin retains original fittings including black-and-white tiles, columns and porticos. It throws open portas largas (big doors) to a mishmash of gays, straights and not-sures, who prop up the marble bar or spill onto the cobbles with zingy caipirinhas.

Frágil
In the beginning there was Frágil, Manuel Reis’ first love before Lux. This small, loud and sweaty club has been rocking Bairro Alto for 25 years and shows no signs of waning. DJs spin progressive house and electronica to a mixed gay/straight crowd.

Swing
Near Boavista, this is Porto's oldest and unrepentantly old-school (OK, kitsch) disco, attracting a sociable, mixed gay-and-straight crowd with crowd-pleasing '80s, dance pop, house, and disco. Open Sundays.
