About Arco Das Verdades
Arco Das Verdades is a wine bar tucked away in the Ribeira district of Porto. It's got a solid 5.0-star rating from nearly 700 reviews, which is pretty impressive. Located on Escadas das Verdades, the bar operates from 2 PM to 10 PM, but note it's closed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This might be annoying for some, so plan accordingly. The vibe, judging by the 740+ photos available online, seems casual and inviting. It looks like the kind of place where you can relax with a glass of vinho verde after a long day of walking around Porto. It is just a wine bar and bar, so don't go expecting a full restaurant experience. However, its location at the bottom of some stairs adds to its quirky charm. It's popular, so be prepared for a possible wait, especially on weekends.
