About this place The Hole Cruising Bar

The Hole is a men-only cruise bar at Rua da Alegria 1018 in Bonfim, east of central Porto. Behind a plain door there is a dim bar plus darkrooms, and it runs themed nights. It is the city's main indoor cruising venue outside the saunas. Google reviews average 4.7 from about 400. It keeps late, weekend-focused hours, so check current opening nights before you go. Bring ID, use the cloakroom for valuables, and remember that a no means no in the darkrooms. Bring your own condoms and lube. Bonfim is about a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride from Avenida dos Aliados.

This place is great my partner and I visited twice on our trip to Porto. The owner and his staff made us feel totally comfortable and welcome. The drinks are a fair price and even gave us a free shot. Overall the experience is great even though the venue is a bit small. The crowd is mixed with those varying in ages from 20-50s. The vibe here is much more chill and relaxed than a sauna or similar establishment. I’d highly recommend paying this place a visit if you’re in Porto.

Of all the similar venues in Porto, this one certainly has the best facilities. Finally, Porto has a bar on par with major European cities!

What a bore. Porto's gay nightlife is always a bore...

It was my first time here, the stuff was the best! So friendly and helpful. The cruising area is big, and the dark room is almost pitch black witch is great. I highly recommend visiting this place!
