Why go
Capone Drinkeria is a practical pick for a casual drinks-led evening in Porto Alegre, especially if the group wants flexibility rather than a formal dining plan. Choose it as a pre- or post-dinner stop; for a clearer cuisine-led meal, compare nearby options like Koh Pee Pee, CIAO, or NB Steak Ramiro Barcelos.
About Capone Drinkeria
Capone Drinkeria is a Porto Alegre venue with evening hours and a casual dress code. It is best evaluated first by timing and fit rather than by assumptions about cuisine, chef, menu format, price point, reservation policy, beverage program, or service style. For broader planning, use it alongside Pearl's Porto Alegre restaurants guide and Pearl's Porto Alegre bars guide.
Use it for an evening plan, not an assumed full dining format
The right expectation is key. Capone Drinkeria's evening opening hours are: closed Monday; open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday from 6 PM to 12 AM; and open Friday and Saturday from 6:45 PM to 12 AM. Beyond that, confirm any details that matter to your plans, such as tasting menu, chef-driven format, cuisine style, price range, takeout, delivery, or allergy accommodations.
If the evening needs a clearer restaurant identity, compare Capone Drinkeria with other named Porto Alegre options such as Koh Pee Pee, CIAO, Le Grand Burger, NB Steak Ramiro Barcelos, or Yakuza Sushi 893. Those comparisons can help frame the decision, while Capone Drinkeria itself is easiest to assess by basics: city, hours, casual dress.
Who should put it on the shortlist
Consider Capone Drinkeria if your plan fits a casual evening in Porto Alegre and the listed hours work for your group. Be cautious about using it as the anchor for a highly specific dining occasion unless you have separately confirmed the details that matter to you, such as menu, booking process, budget, accessibility, dietary needs, or group policies. It is a casual, timing-led pick rather than a choice for diners seeking a clearly defined cuisine, named chef, award pedigree, or formal service format.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Capone Drinkeria reads like a neighbourhood institution: low-key, history-soaked and quietly confident. It sits on Rua Castro Alves in Independência, a district the copy frames as older and lived-in, so the bar feels rooted rather than performative. The drinkeria format keeps the focus on cocktails without the ceremony of a destination lounge; regulars arrive to mark the rhythm of the week rather than to launch a night out. The result is a warm, unhurried place where classic drinks and local rhythms steer the mood, and where the city's distinct southern-European civic drinking culture comes through in atmosphere as much as in the menu.
Best For
Capone is best for anyone looking for a genuine neighbourhood bar experience in Porto Alegre: locals dropping by after work, visitors who want a sense of how the city lives, and people who prefer a composed, conversational evening. It suits solo visits and low-key get-togethers as much as informal group stops; the bar operates as an anchor in a quieter residential strip rather than a late-night destination. If you want a bar that privileges steady service, classic cocktails and an intimate, lived-in setting over hype or volume, Capone fits that bill.
Ordering Tips
The venue emphasizes drinks, so start with its cocktail touchstones: the Ramos Fizz and an Old Fashioned figure as signature references in the description. Lean on the bartenders when you arrive—this is a drinkeria that treats the list seriously without formal ceremony, so asking for classics or the house take on a favorite is a smart move. Because the place functions as a neighbourhood anchor, expect attentive, familiar service and cocktails prepared with an eye toward tradition and balance rather than theatrical flair.

Where to go if this is not the right fit
Choose CIAO if the group wants a more restaurant-led evening. Choose NB Steak Ramiro Barcelos if the occasion calls for a fuller dinner and a more substantial group meal.
Restaurant context
How it compares in Porto Alegre
Capone Drinkeria is the easier, lower-commitment choice if the night is centered on drinks and conversation rather than a full dinner format. Yakuza Sushi 893 is the better fit when the group wants sushi as the main event, while Koh Pee Pee makes more sense for diners who want a clearer cuisine identity and a more meal-driven evening.
For Italian-leaning plans, CIAO is the cleaner comparison: pick it when dinner structure matters more than bar flexibility. NB Steak Ramiro Barcelos is a stronger choice for groups that want a heavier, occasion-style meal, while Le Grand Burger is the simpler value play for a casual bite.
The practical call: use Capone Drinkeria when booking difficulty and formality need to stay low. Choose the peers when the meal itself needs to carry the night.
