Pavilhão Chinês
V89 Rua Dom Pedro, Príncipe Real
Filled with small gadgets, figurines, and toys from the early twentieth century, this five-room bar is the perfect setting for a conversation over a drink or two. The vibe is super relaxed—not at all scene-y—with lots of comfortable seating. Even if you're not in the mood for a drink, it's worth it to at least go inside and take a peek at it unique décor.
Lost In
56 Rua Dom Pedro V, Príncipe Real
To get to this quirky terrace bar and café, you'll first navigate a maze-like Indian clothing store via the back door before being met with its stunning rooftop view. Comfortable outdoor seating, shaded by colorful umbrellas, makes for a tranquil environment perfect for an afternoon drink or a light meal.
Pub Lisboeta
63 Rua Dom Pedro V, Príncipe Real
This laid-back bar occupies a tiny space that's made to feel more spacious with the liberal use of mirrors on each wall and emerald subway tiling that approximates a wainscoting along the walls and the bar. During the week when it's a little sleepy in here, set up at one of the bar chairs or one of a few small tables in the front for bar snacks, sandwiches, and a menu that shows the breadth of Portugal's growing craft beer movement. On Friday and Saturday nights, the space fills up with locals, who you'll find lingering out in the street when the bar itself gets too crowded.
