Dick's Bar

Vila Nova de Gaia


With a private-member's-club feel, Dick's is a class act at the Yeatman, with plush sofas for conversing, live music between 9.30pm and midnight from Thursday to Saturday, and access to one of Portugal's best cellars. Head onto the terrace to sip a glass of vintage tawny or Douro red as historic Porto starts to twinkle on the opposite side of the river.
