King sport is experienced with intensity almost everywhere. What’s more, it’s always a good excuse to get together with friends, have a beer and enjoy an evening out. That’s why we’ve put together a list of some bars to watch soccer in Porto.
After all, with the return of the national and international championships, there are those who prefer to watch matches away from home. If this is the case for you, then get your scarf ready, enjoy some snacks in the right atmosphere and shout loud and clear: “Goal!”

Eleven Sports Bar
Located in the heart of downtown Porto, this is a typical sports bar, not only because of the name, but also because of the décor. In fact, as soon as you walk in the door, you’ll be blown away by the number of scarves adorning the walls.
So this is a bar for watching soccer with friends and/or even for a romanticdate (if you’re lucky enough that your better half shares the same passion for the sport). Eleven Sports Bar also has table football and snooker and, of course, the opportunity to snack while drinking beer.
Where: Rua de José Falcão, 180
Guindalense
This spot really is a Porto classic, on several levels. First of all, it’s one of the terraces with the best views over the Douro. At the same time, Guindalense is also known for its famous Porto style puppies.
However, it’s soccer we’re talking about here, but that’s just as well. After all, its official name is Guindalense Futebol Clube. This means, therefore, that in these parts you can also support the Portuguese national team, drink a fine drink and shout for a goal.
Where: Escadas dos Guindais, 43
Bonaparte
Both the ‘original’ Bonaparte in Foz in the 1970s and Bonaparte Downtown are two of Porto’s best-known bars for watching soccer.
That’s why they couldn’t be missing from this themed list dedicated to spots for fans of the sport-king.
Where: Praça Guilherme Gomes Fernandes, 40 & Avenida do Brasil, 130
Morrinã
“It’s a Portuguese house, that’s for sure!” sang Amália Rodrigues. But you don’t have to follow this verse letter by letter to watch soccer matches. What does this mean? At Morriña, a Galician tavern in the heart of Porto, there’s also a shout-out for the king of sports.
In other words, this is another option to add to your list of bars to watch soccer in Porto. There are also plenty of ‘nuestros hermanos’ style snacks and tapas, wine and, of course, beer to accompany an evening full of excitement!
Where: Rua dos Mártires da Liberdade, 20
Tribuna Sports Bar

Tribuna Sports Bar is a well-known name among sports bar lovers . After all, it’s surrounded by no less than 16 televisions, so it’s unthinkable that you’ll miss any important play.
To make things even better, the space has a 360-degree bar, a menu full of snacks and more than 15 beer references. A place where you can experience the big games.
Where: Rua Jardim, 513 Vila Nova de Gaia
