Web Cafe - Great Place for Drinks and Email

On the eastern edge of the Bairro Alto’s perpetual block party, in the Rua do Diario de Noticias, just around the corner from the Solar do Vinho Porto, Web Café is a small and comfy oasis where you can grab a cheap drink and check your email. Connection speeds on the café’s six PCs can be a little slow at times, and you may have to wait during peak hours (roughly 10 pm to 1 am), but at 2€ per hour, it’s tough to complain. The mostly 20-something crowd is a healthy mix of locals and tourists, and the extremely friendly bartenders speak fluent English and will happily give you the lowdown on other watering holes in the neighbourhood if you ask. A steady mix of mellow electronica keeps the vibe nice and chill until closing time at 2am.
