Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited here for a pre-dinner drink on a Friday evening. The bar occupies a prime location on a narrow raised walkway by the Rio Duoro and offers great views of the Ponte Dom Luis I and across the river to the port cellars of Vila Novo. We sat outside where there are 6 chairs and a metal table and savoured a lovely white and a tawny port with a selection of cheeses, bread and some olive oil. This is a great spot for sunset with a really good selection of moderately priced wines. The young lady serving us was really engaging and friendly. Definitely one to visit.

We were only in Porto for 2 nights and we came here both nights - it's that good. Cannot recommend this place enough. Amazing service and fantastic views. The first night we stopped in, we had hoped to sit outside but there wasn't room. We happily took a table inside (the views from there still did not disappoint). Once outside seats became available, they gave us the option to move - which was much appreciated that they still considered our original preference to be outside. Moises did an fantastic job helping us pick wines based on what we like and described each one during our initial tasting. He also offered suggestions for meats and cheeses to pair with the wines. The next night, Filipa helped us with our selections. She was just as great. You can tell the care and pride they take in Wine Quay Bar. If you're in Porto and you're looking for great wine, service and a beautiful sunset spot - this is it!

The Wine Quay Bar is definitely one of the best places we visited (several times) in Porto. This gem on the quay wall offers a magnificent view of the Douro river, an excellent selection of wines and tasty food. And the friendly and dedicated staff including the owners Filipa and Moises will make sure you have a great time there.
Don’t miss this wonderful wine bar when you visit Porto. We can’t wait to go back!

Thank goodness for the view. Otherwise, the waitress forgot our order twice. We ordered bread, olives and mushroom tapas. After 30 minutes we asked and they made out that it was still being made, but the mushrooms were cold, so it's obvious they just forgot again.
They only charged for two glasses of wine in the end so that's a positive. This would feel like it redeemed the issue but then they said they only take Portuguese cards so it had to be cash. That's a first, I should think even a Portuguese card is visa or Mastercard. I had to take a 10 min round trip to find a cash point, right at the end of the night when you want to be getting home.
The view and environment is obviously spectacular by the river, so if you just want a glass of wine in the area then it's fine. I don't recommend getting food and should have listened to our hotel when they said to avoid getting food by the river.

FEELING: 😒
The service here was sooo slow. It took over an hour for us to order and pay for 2x small glasses of wine and staff was rude.
👎CONS:
The waitress that welcomed us seemed to forget about us being present and never took our order and was upset when we asked to sit outside after a couple had left 2 seats empty by the wall (we still hadn’t ordered at this point).
On the flip side a younger waitress was very kind and was attentive though she was serving other tables, she took time to take our order. She was actually nice.
👍PROS:
The view is amazing and almost made up for the crappy experience, however there are plenty of other wine bars and restaurants a stone throws away that can offer the same view. Visit those instead is my advice!
⚠️FYI - this is a cash only place 💰

We stopped on an evening to view the river and people watch with nice wine and nibbles.
We had seen it on this site and had it on the list of places to go.
Your lucky to sit straight down on one of the outdoor seats against the wall which have the best views but we managed to strike lucky.
The staff were lovely and friendly. When they brought the wine out they would explain its origin and flavour which was a nice touch.
The views are incredible and definitely the selling point for this bar. But with it being a key location right over the river, the prices have not been inflated to reflect this and prices were very reasonable.
We stayed for a few hours trying different wines and nibble food and would definitely visit again.
Well worth a visit to watch the river and activities along the water.

We went here for just a glass of wine before dinner and ended up staying there until 22:00! It was such a romantic spot to taste great wines watch the sunset on the river and the Porto bridges. There was a wide selection of wines and the staff was very helpful in suggesting what we should try: between the two of us, we had 6 glasses of 6 different wines, probably the best option if you go there. The tapas served with the wines were also of amazing quality. Last but not least: great value for money. Will definitely recommend!

Fantastic location overlooking the Douro with Gaia opposite. There is a well-chosen wine list with a selection from the main regions of Portugal and few from elsewhere. The food menu offers appetisers, cheese, cooked meats, caned sardines, tuna, salt-cod, and seafood dishes: octopus, mussel, shrimps, soup. The welcome was warm and multilingual, the prices very reasonable and the food and wine excellent but the great thing about this place was the attention given to helping you choose your wine, what to go with it and the time taken to explain Portuguese wine and port. Wine sold by the glass or bottle, with or without food by passionate people in a perfect spot. Marvellous!

We went off a recommendation from my cousin. We got seated right away. We were a group of 4 adults and one 3 year old. The owner of the bar personally came up to us and asked if she could give our daughter toys to play with. She came out with two bins of toys so our daughter was entertained while the rest of us enjoyed our wine.
The owner also personally served us. She made recommendations and when we choose one she smelled the cork and did a tasting to make sure the bottle was up to par. Then my sister did the tasting to see if we wanted it. After she served us, she joined our daughter to play with her. Eventually she asked if it was okay if she left to have dinner, told us that our girl was free to keep plying and introduced the server who would continue to help us.
This experience was amazing. It warmed my heart that she made the wine bar fun for our daughter.
The wine bar overall was great. Excellent views of the river and a really good wine selection. We really enjoy the bottle we got. We will be going back before we leave Porto.

Perfect spot to people watch while sipping wine & nibbling. Very friendly staff who were well informed of their products, listened to what we liked, and presented us with wonderful tastings. Fabulous view of Luis I bridge too.

Great little spot for a drink near the waterfront. It's set back on the wall behind the river front so you get the views of the river, buskers and goings on without it being too hectic. Staff were all really lovely and great with wine recommendations. All the bars and restaurants in the area are relatively expensive, but you pay for the views and location.

You'll need to look up to find Wine Quay Bar because it is not at street level—great news for the view and to keep the crowds away. Snag a seat on the balcony and relax. So much fun that we went twice! Wine list was lovely and the cheeses, tomatoes, and meats we tried were delicious and beautifully plated. Highly recommend and extra credit for all the things they make out of wine corks!

Loved this quaint place for 2-3 reasons.. 1) It is on a higher level so you still have those wonderful views of the river without the hustle bustle of the crowd 2) The wines of course .. we had a green wine and a Tawny 10 years and both were amazing. The food is decent , limited options though (it is a bar so that’s acceptable ) had the octopus and mushrooms but the bread is delicious ! 3)Nice fast service.
Though would be better if they could accept cards , I mean it is the 20th century :-) .. so we had to go find an ATM but they helped us in locating the nearest one.

If you want a stunning view for a pre dinner glass of wine and a small tapas - this is your place. The wine is chilled and delicious. However this is NOT a restaurant and the tapas are average. The shiitake mushrooms and peppers were served in dishes so small - they resembled Petri dishes ! The cod was ok. The tuna was dry. The waitress warned everyone to hide their cheese from hungry seagulls and that they would steal the cheese and ignore the fish. I think we worked out why ! They had good taste ! Would we return ? Yes for a glass of wine and bread and cheese

We came here under the impression that they had many port options, but they mostly serve just one brand. They have a beautiful patio area facing the river but even if there are seats available and you are inside, they refuse to let you move outside, which is crazy. Don't they want people to see other people enjoying drinks on their patio - brings more business? Disappointed. There are so many better options on the Ribeira.
