A fino in the Baixa? Right now.

Nights out in Porto
At weekends the Baixa is the centre of everything: the streets around Galerias de Paris and Cândido dos Reis fill up after dinner, and you walk from bar to bar, fino in hand. For something calmer, there is the Ribeira on the Douro or Foz at sunset.
They say people in Porto talk to everyone, and it is true: the hard part is not starting a conversation, it is finding a time with someone who also wants to go out. YesTonite takes care of that: see who else is out today, send a message and make a plan.
On São João night, 23 to 24 June, the whole city takes to the streets with plastic hammers and pots of basil, there are fireworks over the river and many people only head home after watching the sunrise on the beach. In May, the Queima das Fitas keeps students partying for a week.
Friday and Saturday are the big nights, and Thursday is busy too thanks to the students. The Baixa fills up after dinner and the night runs into the small hours, rain or shine.
Where to go out in Porto
- Galerias de ParisThe street and the side streets of the Baixa, the heart of the night at weekends.
- Praça dos LeõesBy the university Rectorate, where students meet before heading down to the Baixa.
- RibeiraThe quayside on the Douro, with terraces and a view of Gaia.
- Rua de Miguel BombardaThe art gallery district, with bars and cafés around it.
- Foz do DouroWhere the river meets the sea, for a drink in the late afternoon.
- Cais de GaiaAcross the river, terraces with a view of the Ribeira.
How it works: three steps.
Say you're out
Switch on "out tonight" and you get a green dot. It turns off by itself in the morning.
Send one message
See a photo and an age, say something, and the chat opens for both of you. No matching first.
Meet tonight
Pick a place, or join an event nearby. Same evening, not three weeks of small talk.
Events anyone can host
Anyone 18 or over can host an event on YesTonite: a port wine tasting in Gaia, a francesinha (Porto's famous loaded sandwich) before going out, a sunset walk along the Ribeira or a game night in the Baixa. Open events fill up right away; for closed ones you request a spot, and the address only appears to those who are in.
