Good place to relax a bit, catch up with friends and have a drink. I've never had their food but people who have say good things. My only issues are: when they have live music there it's always super loud and it kinda defeats the purpose of the place. I want to relax and talk to my friends and that's almost impossible at times. I don't mind music at all but take it down a notch. Secondly, the BUGS. I know this is not exactly their problem, but it does affect my experience there. So if you're squeamish with little creatures don't go there!

Best. Mojito. Ever.  Real fresh lime juice and plenty of mint.

If you are tired of the pathetic choice of Sagres and Super Bock, and yearn for something…read moredifferent, especially something darker and more flavorful, then you have to head to this place. This place has quite a nice selection of beer, for a small store. Mostly European, and I was excited to see all the BrewDog from Scotland and Mikkeller from Denmark. Also surprised to see many Rogue Ale's beers, even on draft as well. There is a shelf for Portuguese craft, some from Lisbon. The girl working there, Ann Marie, is the best. She's really knowledgeable about the beer. When I asked her about a label, she'd tell me - their best beer is XXX, which I don't have right now, but of the two I have, this one is better. She is honest about her opinion - they waited six month to get this beer, she was really excited to try it but felt rather let down. She also enjoys giving trivia - the label Electric Nurse from Denmark comes from the occupations of the founders - one is an electrician and the other a nurse. She lets me sample the draft before deciding which one I want. Last but not least, she is diligent with regular sampling of the beer to ensure quality. ; ) The place has a relaxed vibe, with some games and books for entertainment. We just sat at the bar and chatted with locals, about beer, food, and everything. A really lovely way to spend an afternoon of our vacation, rather than hurrying around like crazy tourists. If you prefer, Praça Das Flores is just across the street, a park where you can totally enjoy a little corner of nature. Beers are not cheap here. The bottles costs over €3 each, and drafts mostly €4-6. Whereas a Sagres usually costs me €2 or so. However, if you don't feel it's worth paying extra to support craft and quality beer, then by all means stay with your Super Bock.

I've been visiting since they opened, which was well before the surge of Portuguese craft beer…read more Now they carry more Portuguese beers and a really good number on tap. My only wish is that these is more of a way to help navigate the canned selection. I know a lot about beer but it's hard to decide on these because there isn't much in the way of write ups, just suggestions from whomever is there working or drinking. I normally stick with the tap, in general. I suggest taking the drinks out by the park on nice days. I really like this little area.

As others said, this place is somewhat hidden. If you are facing the three Manueline arches of the…read moreRosso station, walk up the side street to the building's left, and you'll see a plaza. The shops are set all the way in behind the tables and umbrellas, so unless you really walk up to it, you may pass by this place many times and not find it. I'm thrilled that with each visit to Portugal the local beer scene is getting more vibrant. While there are more micro-breweries, it's hard for a traveler to visit, as it's a challenge to find out accurate info about their opening hours - if they are open to public - and then trying to fit the visits into your schedule. You also need to pray that they open as scheduled. Now, there is Beer Station, which specializes in local crafts, is right smack in the middle of the tourist area, is open for long hours, and has very affordable prices. So you tourists can just sit back, relax, and have a jolly good time. Bottles are around €4, and for draft, you can get 20cl for €3 or 40cl for €5. A flight of three is only €5, very affordable (wish I have $5 flights back home!!) and a great way to go for trying different beers. And don't forget to go inside and check out their bottles selection in the fridge, and get some for souvenirs. The staff will be more than happy to help with your selection and tell you more about the Portuguese craft beer scene!

Come on by this place has as good of Portuguese craft brew (ALL Portuguese) you will find anywhere…read more Chill ambiance and good tunes too. If you are in Lisbon and into craft beer this should be on your list.

This was a place I was really excited about. My husband and I walked down to another restaurant to…read moreeat and passed by and saw the big chalk sign out front that said "Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free!"... I have Celiac disease and so navigating food when traveling is always an experience for me and I immediately tagged this place as one we would return to. Sadly, when we went and I said I needed to be gluten-free and asked if they had a separate menu when I only saw three items the server said "We really don't have a lot." ...then why is it advertised in huge letters on the sign outside? Felt strange. The service was exceptional of course - none of this at all is a condemnation of the employees - they were all great and attentive and helpful... I just think the advertising of the menu and branding needs... some rework? The check arrived with major sticker shock for fries, wings, and sangria (that was way way too sweet). We spend a good amount of our disposable income on dining out, with intent, and the value ratio for this one was... off. Environment? Very chill neighborhood "burger bar" type place. There are some couches and lots of art on the walls for purchase and pretty extensive beer list - larger than I had seen at any other restaurant in Alfama and beyond.

A bit far from the beaten path, this started off as just a beer before dinner and then ended up as…read morea beer with dinner and then another beer after dinner. Fabulous stuff. Quimera brews its own beers, at the moment there are 12 in a variety from sours to stouts. I had their American Wheat to start with my burger, a Mexican Chocolate Imperial Stout to finish the chips, and a Blackberry Sour for dessert. All were excellent examples of these specific varieties. The American wheat was absolutely perfect and sour was indeed sour so if that's your thing, you will enjoy. Not a huge variety of food on the menu and I hesitated over the sandwiches, landing on the classic burger. Cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion on a locally baked brioche bun, it was delicious. A little messy but a fun dinner that ended up being my last full meal in Lisbon. Great atmosphere, Quimera is a former cavalry tunnel. Completely underground (though there are some outside tables) and I would guess it might get a bit interesting when it's busy. Ask for the wifi password as you probably won't get a cell signal in here. [Review 19065 overall - 258 in Portugal - 34 of 2023.]
