The bartender put on a show mixing the drinks and told us how they add their on flair to the classics. This place has some fun decor and hidden images that will turn heads. And PS, the upstairs Madames Lounge is a hotel!

Very cool bar located upstairs just off of pink streets. Burlesque shows and good vibe!read more

Lisboa Bar is everything you could hope to find in a bar. Amazing views from their patio rooftop. A…read moreselection of decently priced drinks. Friendly service. A mix of tourists and locals. Came here on our last night in Lisbon to enjoy a few last caipirinhas with a view, and this place did not disappoint. We were served pretty much immediately after taking a look at the extensive bar menu and picking our poison. I went with the black caipirinha, my partner stuck to the traditional one. We walked around the back to access the upstairs patio which was relatively empty when we first got there, but filled up considerably as the night went on. You can see the top of the castle lit up at night from the rooftop patio as well as lots of the city, which is really a sight to see. Our drinks were strong and well made. Definitely stop by at some point during your trip to Lisbon!

Great view (upstairs deck). Reasonably priced. Seedy enough to keep tourists away. Loved it.read more

I love a good dive bar the world over. And when we travel, we always try to find the lesbian bars…read more Purex is perfect. Felt like home. Lovely staff, especially on Thursday night. Shoutout to the two bartenders that offered to kick out the creep that was harassing us (side note: don't be the guy harassing lesbians in a dyke bar!) We visited twice within a week and found a good mix of queer people both times. The djs both times were SO GOOD.

A Brazillian dive bar in the middle of Lisbon. We had been wandering around Bairro Alto looking…read morefor a fun place to unwind, but then the skies opened up and wandering aimlessly became undesirable. We popped into Botequim Brasil and were so happy they had live Brazillian music! Alas, the port was pretty terrible, and the music quickly became too loud to really enjoy. We ended up getting out of there pretty fast. I'd try it again, if only because I think a better drink would definitely help the situation. Most everyone else there seemed to really be enjoying themselves.

We only tried 2 cocktails at this spot, so my review is based on that alone. It's a cute spot with…read morean outdoor patio and tv screen that had a football (soccer) game on. They have a pool table and a bunch of tables to choose from. Everyone in Portugal usually eats and drinks much later in the day, so right at open this place was empty. Service was good but the cocktails were very sub par, especially for the price. I don't remember exactly which cocktails we got, but they were very diluted. A cocktail we expected to be served with one king cube came in a Collin's glass and the other in a tiki mug. The one in the tiki mug was supposed to be similar to a spicy marg but it was poured over so much ice and wasn't really spicy. It had potential though. Hate to say it, but I'd skip this cocktail bar.

The host and hostess were very nice, and worked hard to use their English with us. They served the best tasting port we had in Lisbon, with the best service! Also try their "burger" sandwiches. Delicious! We ended up going back 3 times in our short stay, and eventually asking the hostess for a port tasting. She walked us through some different styles, and steered us away from the bottles that were "too expensive", in favor of her personal favorites. Great personal service, excellent port, and a cozy atmosphere made this a favorite stop on our trip. Highly recommended!
