👍👍 Quiet spot for a drink and people watching outside early in the night of Barrio Alto. Drinks are great with fresh everything. Definitely an LGBTQ-friendly spot, but welcoming of all - hence a very diverse crowd. People often mention staff, people, drinks, good, Nice, friendly, service,

    While visiting Lisbon we found this hidden gem where we could sit and relax, listen to music and take in some people watching. We enjoyed it so much we came back for more drinks. Definitely seek this bar out, good drinks and a real fun atmosphere.

    Had an amazing time! It is the best bar to people watch. Sit by the window and the whole city walks by. The owners are wonderful and they make the best drinks! Went there two out of the three nights we were in Lisbon. Great fun!

    A bar with tacky, gay cliché decoration ... like in the past when we were young. Fun bar but if you expect the staff the same then you will be disappointed. Young guys, yes, but mostly on their phones and not really interested in entertainment and service (and I DO mean drinks only). But still a good choice to start the evening and watch terrified straight boyfriends entering with their bosomy girls.

    It’s a queer pub, the design was amazing. At first we are the only customers in the place, but late night really crowded 🌈

    Nice kitschy trashbar. Good mojitos and the staff is super friendly. Perfect for a drink in between.

    Avoid, avoid, avoid. Only One bar man here, with multiple people waiting. Long waiting times. The barman himself has to have given the worst attempt at service. Didn’t give me a full measure of alcohol. Abrasive and short with me. Overall, I didn’t want to drink here again.

    Nice little bar to have a beer or two. Lovely mixed guests, but the service is really poor. The guys behind the bar couldn't be more bored. A word here and there or maybe even a smile while you collect your customers would be a good turn.

    It was fine for a quick drink. Unfortunately we were the only ones in there so it lacked any ambiance. We sat in the window and watched the early evening revellers go by.

    You are the Dancing Queen! Tiny, but gloriously camp bar with mirror-balls and music. The crowd spills into the street most nights of the week and mingles with the crowds spilling from other nearby queer venues. Side Bar, Rua da Barroca, 33. Bairro Alto. Open every day 18:00- 02:0 (03:00 on weekends)

    Super fun place to hang out and meet locals and visitors. Very cool and chilled vibe in the heart of Bairro Alto.

    Looks like it has changed owners. The old side bar was better. The bleach blonde bartender needs to go.

    Neon pink decoration, it's fun and the vibe around that area is great! All the bars are tiny in Bairro Alto, but a shout out to this Neon decoration! Nice for whoever likes posting on social media!

    My boyfriend and I went there to enjoy a safe and friendly space. Instead, we got a cold, impolite service. Terrible experience with the staff.
