APE Coffee Evening Bar is a bar in Centro Historico, Braga.
The shared creative space that houses APE Coffee Roasters and an art gallery transforms on weekend evenings into a cocktail bar. The SETRA rooftop is two.
Tip: The APE bar operates independently from SETRA. If the rooftop is at capacity, the ground floor bar in the same building is a viable alternative with shorter queues.
Address: Rua de São João 15, 4700-325 Braga
By evening, A Brasileira shifts from the morning coffee crowd to an aperitivo bar, serving wine, port, local beers and light snacks under the same.
Tip: A glass of aged white port over ice at the corner terrace at dusk is one of the great cheap Braga rituals. The setting is the value.
The bar mode of the Felix Taberna wine-and-food spot near the Sé. As dinner service winds down, the taberna becomes a wine bar pure and simple.
Tip: After 23:00 this is primarily an industry bar. If you are dining elsewhere in Braga, this is the recommended last stop for a final glass of serious Portuguese wine.
The most talked-about bar in Braga: a first-floor cocktail bar near the cathedral with a rooftop terrace that becomes standing-room only at weekends.
Tip: Wednesday and Thursday are calmer than weekends and easier for conversation. The terrace fills fast after 23:00 on Fridays.
Opened in 2016 by childhood friends Tiago and Vitor, Mal Amado sits on the street of bars behind the cathedral with 12 craft beers on tap and around 100.
Tip: Ask what arrived this week in the rotating taps: the guest craft slots change every Tuesday and the team has strong curation instincts.
The second Taberna Belga location, in the São Vicente neighbourhood and serving the same Belgian beer selection and francesinha menu as the original.
Tip: The same menu as the original at the same prices. Use this branch if the Mário de Almeida location is full on a Friday night.
While primarily a daytime cafe, Soul inside the Gnration arts centre extends its natural wine and craft beer service through afternoon programming events.
Tip: Check Gnration's event programme before visiting. The best evenings here are tied to performance or exhibition openings where the conversation matches the quality of the drinks.
