Plano B

In Portuguese and Spanish below

Launched in 2007, Plano B has won its place in the night of the invicta. Presenting a wide space, Plano B tries to boost our downtown, betting on a multi-tasked place.

It's placed in the Galerias de Paris, works as a coffee shop during the day and as a bar at night. The space is divided in two floors: in the ground floot there are several multi-tasked rooms, and in the first floor you can find the coffee place and an exhibition area.

Plano B hosts many exhibitions throughout the year, from architectural, plastic arts and design, to tertulias and workshops. Besides that, there are live music and movie nights.

The decoration is a bit retro and it has a dynamic environment. In the walls there are several mirrors with old frames. There are also multiple chandeliers that iluminate the rooms of Plano B. In the outside there is an esplanade which is perfect for hot summer nights. Plano B is one of the places to visit once you're in Oporto at night, for it's a dynamic space that already won the hearts of our town's people.

W do Wilson

 In Portuguese and Spanish below

Placed in Rua Cândido dos Reis, right by the restaurant with the exact same name, you find the W do Wilson Bar. Opened in 2012 and it's hosted by the former Bank Workers' Union. A modern, sophisticated and ideal place to relax, W do Wilson Bar is one of the most recent bars of Oporto but it's already a great reference in town. The luxurious and refined decorations based in the constant travelling of the owner, José Wilson.

The bar is divided in two floors and it also has an esplanade. In the lower floor you can find comfortable couches where the costumers can relax while enjoying the amazing cocktails the bar has to offer. In the upper floor is a huge mirror ball, the mix table, the beautiful paintings and welcoming modern decoration that delight the visitors.

The W do Wilson Bar is most certainly a place to visit.

Casa do Livro

 In Portuguese and Spanish below

Once a bookshop, today a café/bar named Casa do Livro, or Book House. The name was inherited from the old space and the decoration almost makes us believe we're in an actual book store.

The Casa do Livro is at Galerias de Paris, in downtown Oporto. Its décor is a mix between classic and modern, with well-crafted details such as the chairs lined with gold and green cloth. The books are a part of the set and they're about to occupy the walls in the various rooms.

During the afternoon, Casa do Livro works as a coffee shop, and by night as a bar. A place where you can relax at the sound of background music, drink a cocktail, a cup of tea, buy some gourmet products or even see theatre plays and live concerts.

Rendez Vous

In Portuguese and Spanish below

You can find Rendez Vous in Rua Cândido dos Reis near the Galerias de Paris and it’s a club/bar. This bar is admittedly a rock space, with variatons of indie, garage and alternative.

Despite being small at first sight, in the floor below there’s a dance floor and a concert zone. In the main floor you find a small area where customers can sit down and enjoy a nice drink while listening to music.

The décor is one of the characteristic aspects of Rendez Vous. The walls transmit the identity of the bar, with guitars and posters of bands such as the Rolling Stones and Guns N’ Roses, for example. The mirror ball helps create ambiance. The lower part has a counter and an ideal wide space for dance nights.

Rendez Vous openly wants to remain at the forefront of rock music, making the connection between the classics and the current songs and bands. If you like to spend nights to the sound of rock we recommend a visit to this space.

La Bohème

 In Portuguese and Spanish below

The new La Bohème presents a welcoming concept of gathering and sharing Entre Amis, offering a long list of wines, delicious tapas and a lot of music.

In the Galerias de Paris' street, La Bohème is known for being the best place within that street to enjoy a glass of wine. It's the ideal place to hang out with you work colleagues after a long day at the office, tasting a nice wine, snacking some tapas, and relaxing in downtown Oporto. In La Bohème you can also count on a pleasant music selection fitting the athmosphere of a work lunch, a quite afternoon or a meeting at the end of the day.

The image of the bar borns from the treatment of the walls and ceilings with different heights in wood of thin rind and pine floorboards' pavements. La Bohème is a space with peculiar personality, where its verbal identity inspired in the new french art suggested a visual approach built manually and materialized in an unique language. The visual and verbal environment of the impress suggests a casual but sophisticated, cosmopolitan universe, and yet welcoming.

Era uma vez em Paris

 In Portuguese and Spanish below

In Galerias de Paris we can find “Era uma vez em Paris”, a coffee house/bar created to continue the trip once started by “Era uma vez no Porto”.

This café was created in order to give the customers the possibility to “live” a night in Paris, but yet in Oporto, and also to prove that the world is a small place, and that every city, despite its uniqueness, can be transversal.

This is a place where you can hang out with your friends and have a nice conversation while listening to slow music in a very quiet and modern space. This bar offers its’ clients the possibility to have fun with no need to dance.

The coffee has a very nice and modern space, the music is slow and the decoration really makes us feel like we’re in Paris.

So, due to all this, this bar is worth the visit and whoever visits it will be buying a round trip, because whoever spends a nice nigh in “Era uma vez em Paris” always feels obliged to return.
