About the Vibe
Catraio was Porto's first dedicated craft beer destination when it opened in 2015, and it's still the go-to spot for serious beer lovers in the Cedofeita neighborhood. You'll find an impressive selection of Portuguese and international craft brews on tap and in bottles, plus a lovely beergarden added in 2020 for warmer evenings. Skip the tourist traps on the river and head here instead—you'll understand why locals have been coming back for nearly a decade.

Porto's Original Craft Beer Haven
Catraio Craft Beer Shop & Bar holds a special place in Porto's drinking scene as the city's first dedicated craft beer destination. Since opening its doors on Rua de Cedofeita in 2015, it has become a reliable haven for beer enthusiasts seeking quality beyond the typical lagers. The selection is impressive, featuring both Portuguese artisanal breweries and international favorites, all backed by knowledgeable staff who can guide you through the options.
The addition of a beergarden in 2020 has elevated the experience, offering a relaxed outdoor space perfect for warm Porto evenings. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious—beer geeks and casual drinkers alike feel welcome here. While the selection can be overwhelming for beginners, the team is happy to help you navigate the taps and bottles. It's not flashy, but it's authentic, and that's exactly why it works.
Hours are limited (closed Sundays, evenings only), so plan accordingly. But if you're looking for a genuine craft beer experience in Porto without the tourist crowds, Catraio delivers. The location on one of the city's oldest streets adds to the charm, and you'll often find a mix of locals and informed visitors enjoying the same quality brews.
