About Hard Club
Hard Club is Porto's most important live music venue, housed in the stunning 19th-century Mercado Ferreira Borges on the Ribeira waterfront. The venue's extraordinary architecture — iron and glass market hall with soaring ceilings — creates a concert experience that is unique in Portugal. Hard Club hosts a diverse programme of live music across all genres, from rock and metal to electronic and world music, and has established itself as one of the finest concert venues in the country.
History
Opened in 2008 in the restored Mercado Ferreira Borges, Hard Club transformed a neglected historic building into one of Porto's most important cultural venues. The restoration of the market hall was a significant achievement, and the result is one of the most beautiful concert spaces in Portugal.
