    I definitely recommend making a reservation, as I'm not sure how walk-ins are handled. The place was fairly busy when we arrived at 7pm on a Wednesday. My boyfriend and I each had three drinks, and while they were all well-balanced and not too strong, my favorite was definitely the Spiced Rusty Cherry (which happened to be one of my boyfriend's choices). When the check arrived, we were informed that tipping isn't included or expected, though we decided to leave a tip anyway. One thing I wish they did differently is to offer a lower starting tip percentage, like 10% or 15%, instead of beginning at 20% and scaling up from there.

    When I tell you the service here is impeccable, I mean they come by every few minutes to wipe the condensation off your glass and give you a fresh coaster so it doesn't stick to your wet glass. It's a cute little speakeasy inside monkey mash. If you make a reservation at red frog you can always stop by monkey mash after. We were told that the cocktails at red frog are more twists on classics and the ones at monkey mash are more unique and quirky. We got 4 different drinks at red frog and the best one by far for the spiced rusty cherry. It was fantastic! We also got the bartender to make us some off menu cocktails and she delivered with a great last word cocktail. The paper plane wasn't really like a paper plane, but it was an easy drink to have.

    What an incredible experience, from the atmosphere, the service, the drinks- everything was top-notch. Red Frog has been voted in the top 50 best bars for the reason- the drinks are out of this world delicious. Our favorite was the peanut old fashioned- so good. We tried four in total and they were all well balanced. They have a nice little tapas menu for snacking while you drink. Really the service is where they make themselves standout to be the best. For example- one of the servers picked up my drink and wiped the bottom of it so it would not drip on me when I took a sip. I've never experienced that level of attention to detail. Make sure you make a reservation. It is very small and intimate and books out in advance.

    Reservations are elusive. The entrance is literally hidden. I was at Monkey Mash when they offered to seat us here. Of course I took it! Their cocktail menu is certainly creative. I loved their menu design. They even added a few conversation starter questions inside. They have the menu available by QR code too. They have free WiFi. The spiced rusty cherry is the showy drink that has a lot of smoke. It smells so strong and tastes even stronger. It was actually more smoky and stronger than American Gangster, which I ordered thinking it would be smoky. Service is good. One thing I wasn't exactly pleased about was that there was only one bathroom for everyone. I didn't like seeing all the men using the bathroom after drinking and knowing I had to share it with them. This was an excellent speakeasy that certainly deserves to be rated best 50 bars in the world. I would prefer Monkey Mash though.

    Rated #40 bar in the world.... I expected a lot more. The drinks, the decor, and the service were all a bit lackluster. We were ushered to a little table in the corner right away (I was glad we made a reservation), and ordered about 4 cocktails. I asked our server for a recommendation and he just replied with "All of them are good." I was hoping for a bit more explanation and some pointers. The Bubbles & Troubles was the only drink we liked. The presentation is very cool, and the drink was well balanced and light, crisp, with a nice dash of sweet. I did taste the brioche also which was cool. The second best was apples and plum, a decent fruity drink. We would not recommend the Hacienda or the Lilac. We would've ordered more if they were good.. but they just weren't. Glad to check another top 50 bar off the list, but not sure I'd return.

    Came without a reservation around opening time and was seated immediately. This place is a speakeasy located next to monkey mash. Like many have said, the drinks on the menu sounded better than they tasted. I was actually pretty disappointed by the cocktails. Probably won't return again

    Peanut old fashion
    Roxana G.

    Overall: came here because it was on a list, and to be honest this is the first top 50 bars we've. visited. I was expecting more given the hype. It's definitely creative and the drinks on paper sound really interesting, but when we actually tasted them, we didn't think the whole was greater than the sum of its parts. Glad we checked it out, but wouldn't return or recommend it unless you're dead set on crossing it off your list. Heads up, ended up just ordering 2 drinks and leaving early for another spot so maybe could have given it another shot, but didn't think it would be worth it. Drink selection: If rum is your alcohol of choice and you're not really into tequila, whisky or gin you will likely feel limited in the options available. Service: staff seemed really helpful and will help you choose a drink if you ask, which wasn't a service we used because we had chosen far ahead of time. It's nice that they give you free water, especially because the drinks are strong. Taste: based on the interesting ingredients, we thought it would come together better. I was hoping for an experience where each ingredient on is own is ok/good, but absolutely amazing when combined. I was hoping for the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, which I didn't get here unfortunately. We've personally have had far better cocktails in many other places at lower price points with much better ambiances. Peanut old fashioned: smelled like peanuts, probably just from the peanut dust sprinkled on top of the ice cube. This made it very fragrant to drink. It smelled more like peanuts but tasted like a regular old fashioned. I would have liked personally a stronger orange fragrance in the drink. Nice clear ice. Between the red sheets: I thought it was as a bit strong at first but it mellowed out a bit more as you drank it. On top of the ice there was a hibiscus flower and strawberry powder, that gave it subtle fruity and floral fragrance. Personally, to us, it tasted like hibiscus tea (but also, not great hibiscus tea) with some alcohol in it. To be fair, I really like hibiscus tea. Ambiance: a speakeasy to me evokes dark, intimate and private seating. My favorite speakeasies have this. With Red Frog, though, you are really close to other people and the music is quite loud. It was nice the entrance was tucked away from both Monkey Mash (the bar next door, so patrons of Monkey Mash will likely walk past the entrance without noticing Red Frog is even there). Monkey Mash and Red Frog seem to share an entrance, and in our case, there was a person guiding you in depending on your establishment. Then, when you reached the hidden door to Red Frog, a little window opened and you could briefly see the bartender confirm your reservation with your guide. Reservation system: I booked about 3-4 weeks in advance. There were at least 2 empty tables when I was there and my group personally left earlier than the 2 hour time slot we were given. I am not sure how walk ins work.

    One of the top 50 bars in the world, this speakeasy was awesome! I had the peanut old fashioned, which was incredible. My friend had the spiced cherry which was also very good.

    Looking for a new spot to reinvigorate your love for cocktails? Look no further than Red Frog! From new spins on classic favorites, to a whole lineup of creatively crafted giggle juice! The service here will make you feel like you're at friends house, just a friend who's extremely talented in making dope cocktails.

    Not bad but details matter when you are top 50s and feel like a bit lacking here. Popcorn N Oil - the popcorn garnish was so stale that feel like it's been sitting there for days. Zeppling Funk Punch - reminds me of cough syrup. American Gangster - good but I personally doesn't like to receive batched cocktail at nicer joints. TerraCotta - like! Also the only place asked for 10% tip in Lisbon as mandatory way.

    Totally worth it and worth the hype!! Voted one of the top 50 bars IN THE WORLD, Red Frog is absolutely a gem of gems! First off - make a reservation! I think they *can* do walk-ins, but I didn't want to risk it. The space is very small so the reservation is good for 2 hours. Next - don't be totally alarmed by the dress code. The website says "creative chic" which had me worried thinking what I packed for my vacation wasn't fancy enough, but I just wore some dark jeans, a nice top and wore some flats. I think they mostly don't want people showing up in shorts, sports-related hats (actually I don't think hats are allowed) or sneakers. When you arrive, you'll see the bar is labeled Monkey Mash - that's their other bar. For us there was a lady waiting outside, but there was a doorbell that said "ring for cocktails" outside. She led us downstairs as if we were going to Monkey Mash, but on the landing of the stairs, there was a small hatch door, which she knocked on and then gave our reservation name. Then the wall opened as a door and we went inside Red Frog! True speakeasy! The space is very small but so cute and functional. Lots of fun photos from the prohibition area are on the walls, a nice back-lit bar and comfy seats and chairs. We ordered some olives, and two of their cocktails (each). The cocktails were creative, delicious and so wonderful. And honestly - not that expensive or as expensive as I thought they'd be (14-15 euro per drink). I'm so glad we were able to get a reservation here and we had such a wonderful time. i hope others can enjoy this place too!

    I love trying out and enjoying new cocktails, and I love a good atmosphere and hidden bars/speakeasies even more. Red Frog had a very diverse and interesting drink menu. All the drinks we had were amazing, the staff was attentive and gave an explanation when dropping off each drink. If I ever get the chance to visit the country again, I will be sure to stop by

    Located right below Monkey Mash through a hidden entrance, this is another bar you need to check out if you're in the area! The service here is excellent and it is a smaller bar so a reservation is highly recommended as when we walked in, most of the tables were already taken up. I believe if I remember correct, this place does require a deposit when you make a reservation but it does go towards your bill at the end. They also offered some great cocktails and we did order a small meat and cheese plate which was delicious! The thin slices of Iberico ham was melt in your mouth and paired nicely with the aged parm cheese and crackers! For drinks we got the popcorn n' oil and zeppling funk punch which were both very enjoyable! This place definitely oozes a very intimate vibe with low lighting and close seating arrangements.

    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.

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!
