Venue Access
Oporto bar has step free access. The Irish bar/gig does not have step-free access as there are two steps leading into the room. We are able to source a ramp on request to enable access into the venue. Please get in touch in advance through the email below if this will be required.
There is no step free access to the toilets in Oporto, but our partner bar Power, Corruption and Lies (opposite us on Call Lane) do offer an accessible toilet, which Oporto customers are welcome to.
