Came to this bar and experienced what I considered to be a racist experience. Door man stopped me when I was going to return my plastic cup to get my euro back. He stops me (a black male) after letting several others that were not black, in. When i questioned him he asked me if I had a problem. He would not let me in because he was letting people out. There was no one coming out at that time. There is such a heavy racist understood here. I would avoid all together if you are a person of color.

What a hot MESS!!! This place is small and smells like dirty toilet. The line to get in is 40 minutes long and the bouncer will shamelessly let his friends cut the line and if you complain he will not let to enter the place. If it wasn't for the location this place would've been dead already.

Friendly staff, bit crowded but great vibes. Good place to dance with a mix of international and local clientele

The staff is awful. They thought I kicked a door in the toilets, watching me on video (in the toilets ?), when I was… very cool. I tried to explain the misunderstanding, they showed me a picture where we don’t see me kicking the door at all 🤨. Everybody can do a mistake of interpretation but the way they acted and pushed me out was very wrong. And it is frustrating because I was nice with everybody all the night. I don’t support bars who seek only our money with no respect at the end.

Die Bar "Friends" hat mich positiv überrascht. Das gemütliche und einladende Ambiente schafft eine tolle Atmosphäre für entspannte Abende. Das Personal war freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Getränkeauswahl ist vielfältig, von leckeren Cocktails bis zu erlesenen Weinen ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Live-Musik, die die Stimmung perfekt abrundet. Ich habe mich hier sofort wohlgefühlt und werde definitiv wiederkommen, um weitere tolle Abende mit meinen Freunden zu verbringen. Die Bar "Friends" ist definitiv einen Besuch wert!

They have reusable cups with a 1 euro deposit you get back when you return the cup. Sounds great for sustainability, until it's so packed that the blonde let you back inside the bar from the outside space to return the cup and you have to queue for 20 minutes at the end of the night just to be responsible when leaving.

Fun local gay bar. Friendly service during the day. It's busy at night and takes longer to recieve a drink.

Cute servers, nice drinks. They have seats outside the bar to people watch. It was cute!

Definitely a gay bar! I had so much fun, it was completely packed on Saturday night at midnight, literally like sardines, but that’s part of the fun! The fact we’re all so close forced us to all talk to each other 😂 the DJ played amazing international and local hits so like a mini club. Only one toilet though, so literally everyone was going outside to pee and come back in if the bouncer recognized you

It was nice until it got too crowded and hot. We think Bairro Alto in general has this problem of the bar size to the people they allow win. Was a fun night tho, the staff was fun, i think if the bar would be bigger, it would be a blast! The drinks were amazingly strong in a very good way.

Great place for midweek drinks before midnight. Inside is small but was popping when I visited and the music was a good mix of global and local hits. Service was a little slow but we didn’t wait more than 10 minutes for a drink. Prices slightly higher than expected (€18 for two gin and tonics) and while they have a system to get €1 back if you return your cup, the queues at the bar might deter you from actually getting it. Friendly person on the door welcoming everyone and good vibes all around.

The best one we visit here in Lisbon!!! Nice music, good staff and unique place!!!

Fun place with nice people but very small so if you want to dance it is not the best

Nice and fun place to have drinks with friends and see people. They enter to buy drinks, enjoy some music and then they go out and stay in front of the bar, making the street an extension of the bar

The best gay bar in Lisbon at the moment. Very popular with all types, good music and cheap drinks.

If you want to go to gay bar, go to this one. There are always a lot of people and the music is usually quite good. It can get a bit too crowded on the weekends, though.

Rather nice ☺️ Good music and very cute clientele 😇

A great place to make friends and having fun. The drinks aren’t expensive and the music is really nice. The best bar to go when you’re in Bairro Alto.

Best place to enjoy your drink with friendly ambiance. DJ performance and lovely team! You the best Texeira 💁🏼‍♂️🤗

Very friendly place. Strong drinks too. Had a nice moment 29th december 2023

Nice local club to dance with friends, and to meet new people. The DJ was excellent and really kept everyone dancing all through the night. I would only suggest the music be a bit louder.

Crowded nice place with a mixture of nationalities. Even Wednesday was a great might!

Compared to finalmente this place is packed and never refuse service ! It’s a nice place to drink 🍺

What a fun bar. A great mix of people; gender, age, skin colour! Bartenders are friendly and ready to get you a drink. The DJ was wonderful. A pro tip - make sure you return your recyclable cup and get your Euro refund. This place is fun.

It was a good place to drink. Drinks are not expensive and very cold. If you need to relax in a gay environment it is the place. I went 2 times and most of the public is from the local.

Best gay bar in Lisbon. Everyone here is nice, drinks are good and the music hot!!

Lively, loud, fun bar with a young crowd, friendly bar-staff, commercial music and reasonable prices. It’s small inside but fills the street with tables on warm afternoons/evenings (one of the few Bairro Alto bars to open early at 6pm).

Love this place, great atmosphere and affordable drinks 👌 One of our favorite places to get drinks in Lisbon.

Cool spot, was a bit too crowded and small, but definitely fun.

Nice drinks, cool place to relax and see good looking people. Good music.

LGBT amazing dance bar. Good music and nice people. The place is small and it's hot inside.

It was a fun but the drinks made my friend I sick for 2 days. We only drank 2 caipirinhas. We couldn’t eat properly after 2 days and threw everything up that night.

A cool, non-pretentious bar in a good location. Cozy seating outside. Super friendly service. Killer mojitos!

Amazing bar, friendly staff and great music. Can definitely recommend!

Very good music and cool people. Good drinks and nice looking cups.

Very small bar can get very busy. There is plenty of space to stand outside. Very friendly staff.

Good music, nice people, but extremely hot inside with little ventilation, I was sweating profusely all the time.

Small dark and crowded bar where they charge you 13 euros for a whiskey and coke in a plastic cup. They tell you that they will give you back one euro if you return the plastic cup. In our case, they did not want to return it to us, claiming in very bad ways that they had just closed (We were just leaving the place). We feel completely cheated. Never to return.

Small bar with good music and cheap beer. Crowd is mostly gay, friendly and happy people. It is crowed but you could buy your beer and drink it outside. It is fun!

Am sorry the mojitos are everything!!! 2 Large ones and I was done for the f£€king night

Awesome drinks! Playlist is old good songs! Party starts from 9-10pm. If you fancy to have a nice quiet drinks come early

The best place in town for friendly, busy night life- just never ever ever buy anything off the street, ever.

For sure this is the best gay bar at Bairro Alto. Friendly workers, very nice prices, very good music and environment! Simply the best.

Nothing special, but probably one of the better bars. You won't find any great bars in this area. All just average.

Great bar with a lively vibe. Decent measures and good prices. Bar staff and the fab doorman make the place what it is.

Great cocktails with generous amount of alcohol, hot barmens, friendly ambiance. 👏🏼What else you want from a bar? 😊

Nice bar and cool vibes

I adore this spot - also good for people watching and great drinks. Be forewarned: the "medium" drink is HUGE!

Good prices, nice music, it is a bit small but you can chill outside
