Gulden Draak – BierHuis Porto

Aliados & Bolhão


A long polished wooden bar, backlit walls lined with bottles, and intimate booths for quaffing and conversing await at this new Belgian-style beerhouse. Pull up a stool to sip Van Steenberge speciality beers, such as the namesake Gulden Draak Brewmaster, aged in single-malt whisky barrels.
