This place was recommended to me by one of my best friends (and knowing how picky she is, I blindly trust her) and she did not disappoint. It wouldn't be a stretch to say I had the best grilled salmon of my life. And thankfully, we're a group of people that loooooveeee to share food, so I also got to try their impeccable octopus & rice, mushroom risotto...my toes are curling right now just thinking about it hahaha. Did I mention live music?! Everything about this place makes me smile. Oh, and DONT YOU DARE SKIMP ON DESSERT. Go on a walk later, and have 2 chocolate cakes, and a Portuguese tiramisu and you can thank me later. Thiago, thank you for making our time (and birthday celebration) here absolutely unforgettable. We might come back tonight, because honestly...we miss you and Ma already. Everyone else? Do yourself a massive favor and GO.

This is my favourite music venue in Lisbon.

The sound quality is always excellent, and the musicians never fail to please. I've seen techno, electronic, indie-ballads, and more at this wonderful, intimate venue. If MusicBox's single bar was well stocked, I would give this place five stars. Unfortunately, the drinks are a bit boring and overpriced. That being said, entry is always quite affordable so you can afford to spend a bit on drinks if you haven't had enough pre-drinks outside.

My taste buds got together and learned Portuguese they could write a thank you note to the kitchen staff. I took photos of everything including the signature cocktail and made my social media friends look at them. This place rocks! (Literally. They have a rocking playlist and live music at night.) No matter your appetite, this place has snacks and full entrees that span a range of palate-pleasers. You cannot go wrong here ordering something out of the ordinary or sticking with what's familiar. The staff are always in motion serving patrons and checking on tables. They seem very happy working together as a team. Their smiles were not just for guests but for each other. Comfortable indoor seating as well as relaxing outdoor seating to accommodate any size of party. Happy Hour specials and 2-for-1 pizza Sundays after 7 PM make this a great spot for anyone on a budget. They do not skimp on creativity or flavor. Treat yourself and try them early in your stay. You'll be better off than me with the option of returning here once more before you have to go back home. Manga!

Didn't have much expectations thinking it was gonna be a tourist trap but I was wrong everything came out to be exceptional. My group got 2 pitchers of their sangria and it was delicious and tasty. Their seafood is pretty fresh and everything came out to be very flavorful. I personally enjoyed the camarones y cahuil which is shrimped drenched in garlic and butter. Only mistake we had was the pizza and ceviche but nonetheless everything else was delicious. Big plus is the atmosphere. Music was on point and the vibe was what we needed after a long day. Would recommend this place if your in the area. Take note they have happy hour for drinks and their cocktails are exceptional.

HCP is Portugal's oldest jazz club, and I finally found my way there on the last day of my stay in Lisboa, a Tuesday evening. Concert of the night (they have concerts almost every night - some free, some not) was a series of examination recitals from students of a local jazz school. 50% of the audience in the small room was friends and family to the musicians, and the rest seemed to be genuine jazz lovers. The atmosphere was relaxed and the performance from the young musicians was impressing. The bar menu is very basic and fairly cheap, I had a glass of port wine for 3€. The staff was friendly and happy. HCP is a must visit for any jazz lover in Lisboa.

I liked that no one was outside trying to sell me on coming in and in fact, you might even get the feeling here that they don't even want you to come in; not in a bad way. The interior has an intimate feel and there is a warmth throughout. Service got a bit better and friendlier as the night went on. I went with a shrimp and rice dish which looked a lot better than it was. Their sangria was just ok too, but when I came for, Fado, was worth the price of admission. The performers played a mix of traditional Fado with some very untraditional Fado. I really enjoyed seeing the two different styles and they were extremely talented artists. I'm really glad this was my Fado experience in Lisbon and despite what I ordered being a bit lackluster, I would not hesitate to come here again.

It is kind of funny, for how incredibly otherwise interesting Lisbon is as a city, foodie-wise,…read morethat it definitely doesn't have much of a craft *cocktail* scene, and what it does have, is hidden in plain sight, whether as a pizza shop (the other surprisingly good actually-a-cocktail-bar I found), or in this case more literally, as a brothel turned tourist trap-looking bar that actually does have quite good cocktails. Admittedly - it was clearly designed so that it could function at night, when my hunch is that it's more likely to be an absolute madhouse, and it probably a bit feels more like a nightclub. Good thing for me, then, that they're open, and I visited, at 2 PM on a Friday, when they only had a few customers, my favorite sort of vibe for a bar. Yes, they do have extremely suggestively murals up all over the place, because they're committed to the bit (committed enough that if it turned out they were actually also a secret brothel to this day, I'd be like... yeah, that'd track. To my knowledge they are in fact just a bar, though.) But at least when they aren't busy, it is *also* one of the small number of proper craft cocktail bars I found in Lisbon while I was there. Their cocktails were 12-14 euro as of when I was there a few months ago - which a couple years ago would've felt a little pricey, but now feels pretty par for the course. The menu cocktails were mostly all prebatched, but have clearly been prebatched freshly and with *purpose*, as the two cocktails I tried here were *quite* good. One with gin, roobois, ancho reyes and yellow pepper, and one, I was excited to finally see, using Beirao in something more interesting than just tonics or spritzes, with pisco, Beirao, pineaple and eucalyptus. Great presentation, great drinks, and again at least as of when they were least busy, quick service (as you would expect, given that, again, it is mostly prebatched.) That said, if like me, you only speak English, ymmv - the one bartender when I was there spoke English like a native English speaker. Great bartender, too. Then he left and another bartender took over, who spoke zero English whatsoever. As it turns out, you also don't need to speak the same language to order a drink off a menu and then pay for it, though, but it is still *nice* speaking the same language as the bartender.
