    Entrance to Gin Lovers
    Bill C.

    Omg, if you ever tried gin and thought "maybe", this is the place for you. If you like gin, this is heaven. Victor was not a waiter, he was our host; awesome. The Gin Lover's tasting... I like a good 3 martini dinner as much as the next guy but this tasting was more of a complete excursion vs dipping g your toe in... with extras... be sure to have food in you before hand! The gin goes down way way too easy. Superb service, wonderful atmosphere, terrific selection of all gin, and really outstanding house-brand. This is a "must experience" for anyone going to Lisbon. We brought bottles home for our friends too, Martini Time !!

    Gin Lovers is a terrific gin-centric bar in the middle of Lisbon. The most extensive list of gin and tonics I have ever seen. Great service and a fun atmosphere make it a terrific spot to stop for any cocktail, particularly gin cocktails. Food is also available.

    We found this restaurant on travel forums two weeks prior to arriving in Lisbon. We booked our reservation via the TripAdvisor app and instantly received confirmation via the app and email. The restaurant is in a large villa that houses the restaurant as well as several high end clothing stores and art galleries. The villa is stunning and the restaurant occupies the enclosed central courtyard. The bar is in the back and the dining in the center. The selection of gins and gin based drinks is incredible and all that we sampled were delicious!! The food menu is brief and changes with seasons. We ordered the bread basket with the house made olive tapenade, homemade butter and pungent sheep cheese. Bread and condiments were all delicious and fresh. We noticed that adjacent patrons had quite large portion sizes. Our table of three split the order of mushroom risotto and risotto with sea bass and asparagus. We shared three desserts, the chocolate mousse with ginginha, the chef's cookie cake and the pear donuts with sorbet. We had champagne, red port and coffee with desserts. The complete meal and service were awesome!!! We recommend this restaurant!!

    Great customer service, since the minute we walked in the staff was very friendly and helpful. We sat outside next to the bar and the bartender/ mixologist knew how to make every drink delicious. The burgers were also delicious if you're in Lisbon this is must go to place. When I am back in town I certainly go back.

    Cool restaurant/bar in Principe Real and just down the street from A Cevicheria. After dinner there we walked down the st to get some drinks and were not disappointed. Cocktails here aren't cheap and pretty much line up with Manhattan prices but were well made and the staff is really nice and friendly. We grabbed a corner couch to enjoy our drinks. Nice atmosphere. Tea Time (12 €) - refreshing and hit the spot. Not sweet and the egg white gave it a nice touch. The Sour (10 €) - was a bit sweeter with a touch of tartness. Vinho Verde (4,50 €) - i enjoyed this glass of green wine altho our one friend wasn't a fan. Canada Gin & Tonic (12 €) - this comes in the giant Gin Lovers glass and i loved it. Refreshing and not too strong altho there was a TON of ice in it.

    The dining space.

    We stumbled on this restaurant while walking around - the signage for it is fairly low-key, so you could easily miss it. The dining space is incredible - it's an interior courtyard of the Palacao Ribeiro da Cunha, as told to me by the waitress. There are not a lot of tables so you may have to reserve, although for lunch we had no problems getting a table. We had the Caesar Salad which was a most interesting interpretation of this classic - absolutely unique and delicious. The service was on-point - very friendly and prompt. The Palace contains a number of high-end stores as well and a bar that we did not use. I give it five stars for the food, wonderful service and the dining space - worth giving it a try.

    The expanded inner courtyard area circled by fun shops. Sunday concerts are here.

    Delightful little spot, this gin bar's set in a historic, multi-story building that is now filled with hipstery shops. The bar itself is quite small, but it has a seating area in the main middle section of the building, which is just beautiful. There's a large selection of gins, which are paired with the appropriate tonic, and also served with different combinations of herbs and dried fruit. I was quite impressed with the Friday's gin, which came with dehydrated mango, which had only a hint of sweetness, and was refreshing, perfect after a hot walk around town. Also delicious was the white snow gin, which was served with cilantro and dried orange. The gin and tonics are carefully presented and well thought out, really the best I've ever had and I'm quite a gin drinker. On Sundays, they have an intimate little fado concert for 20 euro a ticket from 7 to 8pm, which includes a drink. I wasn't able to stay for it, but it seemed like a fun way to spend an evening.

    The cutest place to grab some drinks and relax. We were visiting Lisboa and came in for drinks after eating at Atahlo real (delicious), Gin lovers is in the same place at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The mixologist was a performer who made sure we were all entertained and happy with our drinks. It's a must on your journey through Portugal.

    Really interesting place to dine. Love the architecture! The staff was super friendly and our poor waiter Richard (sp) was in his first week. We have him a big challenge when we put three tables together for a party of 13. This was a bit much for the kitchen to handle but he did his best to take care of everyone. The food was slow coming out (party size) but was delicious and the gin was quite good. I'd recommend coming here in groups of 2 or 4 for the best experience. If more people want to come then do it in smaller groups. .

    This is our second NYT-reviewed gin bar (first was Gintoneria in San Sebastián). Did not disappoint! EXTENSIVE gin cocktail list and beautiful back bar filled with bottles from around Europe. My only regret is that we're traveling to a couple of other places first and so can't carry a bottle home now. Guess we'll just have to come back.

    My wife and I went to SEEN rooftop today (March 22, 2026) for lunch and were thoroughly impressed…read more The food was fresh and delicious, the team from the hotel staff that greeted us in the lobby, to the hostess who met us at the elevator upstairs, to the bartenders that greeted us as we walked in and to eat and every waitress that stopped by our table. All of them were friendly, welcoming and went above and beyond. Seriously, not only did they do their job, but they went out of their way to make us feel special and welcomed. It was such a great experience. Oh, did I mention the view? Amazing! The food there was great, we had mostly sushi, sashimi, tacos, etc, all of which was fresh and tasty. The wait team gave us recommendations which were spot on. No upsells, but honest and right on the money based on what we described we wanted. They knew their stuff and delivered. That was a highlight for sure. Well done, SEEN team. And as a side note, the folks - well one person in particular - who complained about the dress code, it's seriously not a "thing." It's very clearly spelled out and it's not a huge burden. Image attached. It's clearly referenced when you make a reservation, it's on their website, and it's frankly not unreasonable. We saw a range of people there and they were all welcomed. The bottom line is, this place is a nicer place. If you feel like being overly casual, or sloppy, this likely isn't the place for you. And that's totally ok. There are plenty of other rooftops you can go to and be overly casual or sloppy at and fit right in, no problem. But honestly, you have to proactively work to not meet the dress code here. Especially during lunch. All that being said, we loved this place and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

However, we eventually grew tired of this and wanted to enjoy a cocktail or two with the locals. After doing some shopping, we stumbled upon The Bar. Unlike some of the other bars, The Bar does not have outdoor seating. Therefore, you have to keep your eyes peeled for the entrance. Upon entering the dimly lit intimate bar, we were warmly greeted by a bartender named Joao. We took in the romantic ambiance (they have a Louis Vuitton Virgil Abloh collector's book!) as we found seating on one of their cozy + comfy couches. My wife ordered the Porn Star Martini (you gotta love an establishment that has a little fun with the name of their drinks) and I ordered the Long Island Iced Tea (this used to be my go-to back in my clubbing days). I knew the drinks would be delicious when I saw Joao carefully crafting the drinks as if he was bathing a newborn. Six minutes later we were sipping on our delectable drinks. In fact, the drinks were so delectable that we slowly sipped them to not finish them too quickly. We made repeated visits to The Bar during our stay in Lisbon, specifically for their Happy Hour that takes place from 5pm to 8pm. With the exception of the signature cocktails, all cocktails are $7 during Happy Hour. If you're looking to consume an adult beverage in a comfortable, cozy, and non-touristy environment...I highly recommend The Bar!

Our server informed us they close at 11 but still served us at 11:10, we apologized but he insisted we stay. This was the main reason I am going with 5 stars. This server was very kind and brought us our drink that we drank rather fast so that he could get home as soon as possible. Both of our drinks were expertly made and the ambiance only added to the experience.
