Here are the best bars in Porto de Galinhas.

Located in the center of Porto de Galinhas and right in front of one of the region’s best beaches, Giroskka-Bar’s ideal location makes it popular with both locals and tourists. The outdoor decking is filled with guests drinking cold beers or excellent caipirinhas while taking in the view of the beach. The bar gets animated later on at night when the live band or DJ plays different genres of music, especially regional styles.

Although it positions itself as a restaurant, the atmosphere is so pleasant and casual that it makes a great place for a few drinks; and if you end up getting enticed by the food there, you are in for a treat. Its location in front of the beach of natural pools provides wonderful views and there is live music every night to keep guests entertained. The friendly service and welcoming ambient make it an ideal choice for families.

Brisa Pub is one of the most animated bars in Porto de Galinhas with two floors that can get crowded as the night goes on.

A mix of a pleasant setting, good service, and reasonably-priced drinks set the scene for a memorable and fun night.
