    The cutest bar ever. The owner is absolutely amazing, fun, and a great bartender. The cocktails are absolutely amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this bar next time in Lisbon. So that means you should come here too. Also the owners dog is so cute and it was his birthday the day I came. 🤍

    Whoa! Deep local feel with yum gin cocktails (better and better prices) than Gin Lovers, just around the corner. Definitely great for an older and quieter crowd. Though the basement has cool vibes. Recommend the local Gin Lovers and Porto Tonic. Cute pups and inclusive joint.

    A hidden gem in the middle of Principe Real, where you can drink the best cocktails (my favourite was the Pisco Sour) while chatting with the lovely Sofia and Maria. A great place to hang out with friends or get to meet new people. Will definitely be back soon.

    Our best night in Lisbon to date. An absolute must visit in the neighbourhood - totally agree with all the other raving reviews. Maria and her dog Raoul have made this the most welcoming bar in the city. Maria is a total badass and in addition to owning the bar and looking after Raoul, spends her night mixing delicious cocktails, speaking to clients and playing the best playlist with a Motown vibe. Absolutely loved inclusive designations in the bathroom. Drinks are excellently priced and we sat in here for a few hours drinking beer, playing with Raoul and chatting with Maria and her friend that was helping her tend the bar, as well as other patrons. She seems like an incredible human being and her energy passes onto her drinks and further onto the patrons of her bar. When travelling, we always love making connections with locals, and this place really made us feel like home. Even got a big hug from Maria before leaving. Thank you Maria and Raoul, we’ll be back and will be sending friends your way❤️‍🔥

    The drink quality is incredible. Honestly my favorite place for a cocktail even after 2 weeks on trying many bars. If you are a local or a visitor this is a great place. I will definitely be back!

    We stumbled into Maria’s lovely little bar on our last night in Lisbon, drank some divine cocktails, and wished we could have stayed for longer! We can’t wait to come back! Anna and Will 😘🙏

  • 5/5 Erick R. 6 months ago on Google • 34 reviews
    This place was amazing! Had the BEST passion fruit cocktail, mixed up by one of the coolest and kindest people (Maria). Raul, the dog that “runs” the bar, was a very wonderful host. Lol. Will definitely go back again!!

  • 5/5 Katarzyna G. 2 months ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    The Bar is such a gem of a place in a great area! Classic cocktails are made with good quality alcohol and love, the owner is an absolute dear and a sweetheart, the dog Raoul is a friendly little rascal that makes the whole experience a blast. Served bourbon sour was delicious and the prices aren't crazy. I will recommend The Bar to anyone anytime, and I truly hope to come back to Lisbon and visit again.

    This was the best non-tourist, unexpected find during our entire stay in Lisbon. We could see The Bar lit up from our Airbnb bedroom window, so we decided to check it out. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was perfect but the owner, Maria made our experience absolutely memorable. She made us feel like lifelong friends. Her manager, (sweetest pup!) Raul is so welcoming and a joy to be around. Absolutely the best experience.

    What’s not to love! The bar dogs, Raoul and Lupin are so friendly and welcoming (as are their amazing moms who run the bar ;) ) there is often good conversation to be had but I also brought a book and read. Perfect amount of chill and social. For sure get a drink here!

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    An instant favorite! Amazing cocktails and wonderful friendly service. Raoul, the owners dog, is the sweetest host and makes everyone welcome. Can’t recommend this little bar highly enough. So glad we found it.

  • 5/5 Hamza G. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    If you want the best cocktails in Lisbon, and even better conversation go to The Bar. Lovely owners with the cutest pup Raoul. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area (and if you’re not in the area it’s worth the journey)

  • 5/5 Eosksh A. 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Nice place, that I visited twice in three days. Good variety of tasteful food with decent prices, nice cocktails, friendly staff. They also work late and have digital menus. I can definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Sophie W. 9 months ago on Google
    Incredibly charming woman served us an incredibly delicious martini. Cute little dog was the best co-star 🤩

  • 5/5 Alex T. 10 months ago on Google
    Great drinks, greatest dog!! Loved the amaretto sour!

  • 5/5 Emily W. 9 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely drink here on a summer night, met the owners and their lovely dog. Would recommend for a intimate drink

  • 5/5 Alex L. 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic little bar with great cocktails and welcoming owners! Feels like visiting friends even if it's the first time visiting. Highly recommend the spicy mezcalita!

  • 5/5 Eoghan C. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the most minimal, simple and straightforward bars you can find. If you're after facetime and conversation, with a decent background music, this is your place. Great cocktails, friendly and warm service. Definitely recommend and you'll probably end up spending longer there than you had planned!

  • 5/5 Olivia L. 1 year ago on Google
    I live in Lisbon for 5y and this is the best bar I've been in the center. The owner is super nice, she kept on giving an amazing service and we were a group of 40 people. The prices are affordable too. I will definitely go back there. Thanks for everything Maria.

  • 5/5 Xenia P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing bar with GREAT people and cool dog. A little bit hot inside however drinks are the best. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Maria G. 11 months ago on Google
    Delicious cocktails!!! All done with a lot of care and love. The cutest bar dog in the world. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Lucas W. 1 year ago on Google
    5-stars - excellent location, atmosphere, drinks, music, service! We are a UK-based company and organised a private party at The Bar in Lisbon, and Maria (the owner) was the best host one could imagine. Thanks so much, Maria for your partnership and for helping us to make a successful event! I recommend The Bar if you want to organise an event in Lisbon or simply want to have a drink at the coolest place in town.

  • 5/5 JJ T. 2 years ago on Google
    Stumbled upon this place on Wednesday night. Although it was quiet there was a very welcoming vibe. Didn't have the cocktails people were raving about but had a couple of pints and stayed later than we expected to! Ask for Raoul, he's such a cutie!

  • 5/5 Quinn G. 2 years ago on Google
    amazing space, amazing staff and damned good pisco sours!

  • 5/5 Ana M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely bar and amazing owners. Very friendly atmosphere and they make the best Pisco Sour! Highly recommend if you want to have a nice time.

  • 5/5 Mishal Al M. 2 years ago on Google
    The cutest and coolest bar and people. A must stop if you’re visiting Lisbon! Try Sofia’s special cocktail passion fashion so damn good 😋✨

  • 5/5 James A. 2 years ago on Google
    Expect fantastic service and tasty cocktails from a proud team.

  • 5/5 Smeetsv10 2 years ago on Google
    Super nice people too

  • 5/5 Ben J. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved my drinks here last night and the team were amazing would absolutely go back for more!

  • 5/5 YU C. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the best cocktail bar I’ve had in Lisboa. Not only their creative cocktails, but also the classic ones are incredible.

  • 5/5 Brian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place with wonderful drinks in a quiet area near the posh part of town. The Bar has a smaller main floor than some places in the area but it provides a more intimate and personalized experience. The mother and daughter team made two fantastic old fashioned drinks, one of which was based with Mezcal. We had a lovely conversation with both of them and got a few insider tips on the city to include places to view and places to eat. I'll definitely return the next time that I'm in Lisbon. Cost was more than fair considering the quality of our drinks and almost equally important, the quality of the service and company

  • 5/5 Markus E. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and cozy small bar with an industrial decor, tasty drinks & helpful staff. Good spot to stop for a for a drink or two, try the Lisboa Gin!

  • 5/5 Sofia G. 1 year ago on Google
    I have never been at such a charming establishment. The two women who work there are simply fantastic and so welcoming. They are a mother daughter duo who make exceptional drinks. From Pisco Sours to their home special fashion passion I could just not get enough. A sip of heaven in Lisbon. And let’s not forget about the boss, the lovely Raoul who is a puppy who will also make you feel welcome. Favourite bar is Lisbon

  • 4/5 Ling L. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty nice cocktails but it was a little quiet when we were there. We didn't feel the buzz. Drinks are between €9-13. Card accepted.

  • 5/5 Joe R. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely bar right next to the botanical garden. The owner just radiates happiness, loves to get engaged in a little chat with her customers and the drinks are great. Looking forward to the next visit!

  • 5/5 Johanna S. 1 year ago on Google
    The BEST espresso martini & negroni ive ever had (ive tried tons). The other google reviews did not lie that its the place to come for cocktails. Really nice vibe and great service.

  • 5/5 Emma U. 1 year ago on Google
    I have never left a review before, but my lovely experience at The Bar compelled me to. I was lucky enough to stumble upon The Bar on a vacation in Lisbon back in early June. This was the best bar experience I have ever had. From the drinks, music, bar dog Raul, and lovely bartender, I could not have curated a better experience. My party of three was sipping, chatting, and laughing the entire time we were there. If there is one place I would suggest from my 18 day trip, this is it.

  • 5/5 Valeriia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Marvelous choice! I Was there couple of weeks ago with my friends,met the owner. Two beautiful ladies, mom and daughter, so welcoming and kind.If you looking for good drink,they can make really great cocktails for you! I enjoy my evening:)

  • 5/5 Joseph J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool vive, really lovely service, super cute bar dog and great music. Best cocktails in Principe Real!

  • 5/5 Moana K. 1 year ago on Google
    We celebrated a friend's birthday here with a big group of people and the bar owners were amazing. Despite what I imagine must have been a stressful night (because it was only two people serving a group of ~30 or more), the staff remained incredibly friendly and attentive. We spent all night here and had a great time!

  • 5/5 Nicole H. 2 years ago on Google
    We just had the best of times in this lovely bar! not only are the cocktails really delicious but the place is fun and modern. The staff makes you feel very welcome which is nice when you are just visiting not knowing much about Lisbon. I will definitely come again !!

  • 5/5 Peter P. 1 year ago on Google
    Yes the reviews are accurate!! This small space is totally worth a visit; with great service and cool music - you’ll find the cool crowd from all over the world with bespoke cocktails and a 2€ beer list. Put this on your list in Lisbon.

  • 5/5 Rayan J. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    If you like great drinks and conversation this is the place to be. Gin n tonic is a must (ask for the Lisboa gin). Great vibes!! Definitely worth checking out and will return on my next trip to Lisboa! PS: Raoul is super cute (the doggo)
