Porta Tapas Bar

You're walking down Northgate Street towards the river, and Porta pulls you in with that inviting buzz you can hear from the pavement. Inside, it's all warm lighting and the kind of packed-in energy that tells you people genuinely want to be here—not because it's fashionable, but because the food and sherry list actually deliver. Order the jamón, the croquetas, whatever seafood they've got on, then watch how quickly your table fills up with empty plates and half-drunk glasses of something cold and Spanish.
