Whatever you\u2019re fancying today, we\u2019ve got you covered with our list of the best bars in Lisbon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Foxtrot – For the speakeasy vibe<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Alfama, Chiado, Pr\u00edncipe Real, you\u2019ll probably hear these names when you walk around Lisbon. Not only are they famous Lisbon neighborhoods, but they\u2019re also featured cocktails at the Foxtrot Bar<\/a>. Set off the beaten path, Foxtrot has that speakeasy feel, with its dimly lit rooms and Art Deco style. To get inside, you\u2019ll first need to ring a bell! A fireplace invites you to sit and get warm\u2014a great perk in the winter, as most houses in Lisbon don\u2019t offer central heating. In summer, you can enjoy the small courtyard outside. Besides the Lisbon-inspired cocktails, they offer the classics, as well as a wide choice of whiskeys and gins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> There\u2019s a happy hour on weekdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with half-priced beer and a special cocktail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address: <\/em><\/strong>Travessa Santa Teresa 28<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Pavilh\u00e3o Chin\u00eas – One of the oldest cocktail bars in Lisbon<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From the outside, it\u2019s hard to see what goes on behind the doors of Pavilh\u00e3o Chin\u00eas<\/a>, but we encourage you to take a peek! Once you\u2019re in, you won\u2019t be able to contain yourself from admiring the thousands of artifacts put on display. There are miniature airplanes on the roof, and cabinets filled with old trains and toy soldiers. It\u2019s a bar, yes, but you could as well be in a museum. The owners took over an old grocery store in 1986 and turned it into an exclusive cocktail bar that attracts both locals and tourists. Fancy a game of pool? Just head to the back, and you\u2019ll find two tables to play in. As for the drinks, we recommend the daiquiris, but you really can\u2019t go wrong here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address: <\/strong>Rua Dom Pedro V 89<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. By the Wine – For wine lovers<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether you drink red, white or even ros\u00e9, there\u2019s plenty of vinho<\/em> on offer at By the Wine<\/a>. Just look at the menu or point at the shelf if the price isn\u2019t an issue, and pick your favorite. The bar belongs to Jos\u00e9 Maria da Fonseca, one of the oldest wine producers in Portugal. To pair with the delicious Portuguese wine, you can order small snacks, aka petiscos<\/em>. Here at Devour Lisbon, we love the cheese from Azeit\u00e3o and the salmon ceviche.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> Try the Moscatel de Set\u00fabal, a wine made with Muscat grapes that goes perfectly with dessert.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address:<\/strong> Rua das Flores 41<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With so much wine on offer at By the Wine, it will be hard to choose just one!

4. A Ginjinha – Taste the local liqueur<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you walk past Rossio and you spot people with a tiny plastic cup, odds are they\u2019re drinking Ginjinha<\/em>. Ginjinha<\/em> or Ginja<\/em>, for short, might not be easy to pronounce, but this sour cherry liqueur certainly goes down easy. There\u2019s even a Portuguese saying: \u201cSabe que nem ginjas,\u201d<\/em> which means “it tastes delicious.” A Ginjinha<\/a> is one of the oldest bars in Lisbon where you can get this local drink. Before pouring it, the owners will ask you if you want com elas<\/em> or sem elas<\/em>, with or without cherries. For an extra kick, we recommend getting ginjinha com elas<\/em>. Not only do you get the taste of the drink, but you also get to taste the fruit itself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address: <\/strong>Largo S\u00e3o Domingos 8<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Com elas” or “sem elas” is the first question they’ll ask you when you enter A Ginjinha.

5. Loucos e Sonhadores – A great bar in Bairro Alto<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most bars in Bairro Alto will advertise shots and cocktails on flashy boards outside\u2014not this one though.
At
Loucos e Sonhadores<\/a>, translated as Madmen and Dreamers, it\u2019s all about the simple things. A glass of beer or wine and free salty popcorn is what draws locals to this relaxed venue. Yes, they serve cocktails too, if you must ask. Unlike most bars in the area, this one has plenty of space to sit down and a pretty funky decoration. Just make sure to arrive early.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address:<\/strong> Rua da Rosa 261<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. F\u00e1brica Musa – For Lisbon’s craft beer<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For a taste of Lisbon\u2019s craft beer, head down to F\u00e1brica Musa<\/a>. Musa is among the three breweries that found its home in Marvila, now considered Lisbon\u2019s beer district. Before the rise of craft beer, you could only find one of the two lagers on tap: Sagres<\/em> or Super Bock<\/em>. But that\u2019s all over now! Thanks to places like Musa, you can finally enjoy a variety of beers, from the hoppy IPA to the coffee-flavored stout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> Occasionally they host live gigs so check their Facebook page before you go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address:<\/strong> Rua do A\u00e7\u00facar 83<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

7. Trobadores – A medieval tavern<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Trobadores<\/a> isn\u2019t your average Lisbon bar. This cozy tavern will take you back to the medieval times. There\u2019s folk music playing in the background and drinks served in horns, because why not? If you can\u2019t handle that, don\u2019t worry, you can get them in a terracotta cup as well. Locals usually order the beer on tap or the hidromel<\/em>, a traditional Portuguese mead. Sometimes the bar invites folk groups to play live, which adds even more to the atmosphere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address: <\/strong>Rua de S\u00e3o Juli\u00e3o 27<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

8. Quiosque Pr\u00edncipe Real – For afternoon drinks<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Okay, so technically this isn\u2019t a bar, but if you\u2019re in Lisbon you must try at least one kiosk! They\u2019re dotted all over the city, but our favorite is the Quiosque Pr\u00edncipe Real<\/a>. Set near the garden of Pr\u00edncipe Real, this small kiosk is the perfect place for an afternoon beer or a coffee. You can also order small snacks here, like the Lisbon custard tarts<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> Usually on Saturday mornings there\u2019s an organic market in the garden.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address:<\/strong> Pra\u00e7a do Pr\u00edncipe Real<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

9. TOPO Martim Moniz – Rooftop bar with a view<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You see the red neon sign shining from a distance saying \u201cBAR\u201d, but how do you get in this Lisbon rooftop bar? Easy, through the shopping mall. Yes, you read that right. You go inside the mall, call the elevator and six floors later, you\u2019ll end up in TOPO<\/a>. The views alone are worth the visit! From here you can spot the S\u00e3o Jorge Castle and many of Lisbon\u2019s viewpoints with a cocktail in hand. There\u2019s often a DJ playing, and they even named the cocktails after songs. We love the Material Girl, a vodka-infused cocktail with a touch of strawberry and lemon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address: <\/strong>Centro Comercial Martim Moniz, 6th Floor<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

10. Casa Independente – More than just a bar<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa Independente<\/a> brought a new life to Largo do Intendente. What was once a neglected area of the city, it\u2019s now one of Lisbon\u2019s trendiest neighborhoods.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa Independente is more than just a bar. It\u2019s a cultural association, a concert venue, and an art gallery, all in one. There are a series of rooms inside where you can sit down with a drink, or you can head straight to their terrace full of greenery, pictured at the beginning of this article!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
