About Authentic bar
A bar sits on R. de Dom João IV in Bonfim, Porto. It's a bar, plain and simple. The place is open every day except Sunday, usually from 4 PM until either 2 AM or 3 AM on weekends. There are over 130 photos available online, so you can get a good feel for the place before you go. It looks like a pretty standard neighbourhood spot, judging from the pictures. Fancy isn't the point here. It seems like the kind of place you can grab a drink after work or meet up with friends for a casual night. It has a late license, but it's closed on Sundays. The location in Bonfim means it's outside the super-touristy Ribeira area, which can be a plus or a minus depending on what you are looking for. Overall, it appears to be a reliable local watering hole.
In the last 90 days, Authentic bar has drawn 6 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — a measure of how actively its reviewers have been writing lately.
