On the surface Bairro Alto can seem superficial and almost contrived but that is far from the truth. The district of Bairro Alto is a thriving community with centuries of history and culture which is focused on a local community providing a heartbeat to this district. There's a mix of experiences in Bairro Alto and if you want to find the heartbeat, avoid the discount bars and student haunts. The bars, cafes and restaurants in Bairro Alto which project cool, generally are cool, so trust your instinct and you'll meet great people in great places. I met Fred at Janela da Atalaia and he and his bar are very cool indeed. Fred grew up in Bairro Alto and he now serves his peers in a bar which offers genuine service in a genuinely local Lisbon bar. Great beer, great music and great conversation are the hallmark of a great bar and Bar Janela da Atalaia exceeds, so check it out and don't be shy!!!

Really cool vibe for a drink or cocktail. Fred and Andre were extremely nice and welcoming. A great spot to swing by at some point!

Amazing bar. If you don't like the confusion of bairro Alto, this is the place. Ask Fred to surprise you with one of his cocktails.

One of the best places to go in Lisbon. Really friendly crew, good music, old school. The prices are really good, the prepare the cocktails with so much passion. Just a guy in LOVE with this place and it's people x)

Nice welcoming bar, friendly bartenders. Cocktails were ok, but not great as the other reviews would claim it to be.

Nice atmosphere. Meet really nice people. Typical drinks.

A real gem in the Bairro Alto area, the staff is very friendly, drinks are excellent, and the goat cheese sandwich is superb. Highly recommended!

Great little bar for a cocktail with an old school rock music background

What a great bar, the staff is super friendly and even if we only went a couple of times, it felt like we were regulars 🌞 I would recommend it to anyone who wants a chill spot for a beer or cocktails!

Good drinks Highly recommended Try the bourbon colada, 10/10

Mellow escape amidst the neighborhood insanity. Good simple apps, cool people working and a righteous spirit.

A very cozy and straight forward bar. Friendly staff and cool vibes. Good prices and great food

Super delicious cocktails, very friendly barkeepers (we went there twice and he remembered what we had two days ago), nice location (less touristic, nice atmosphere) and nice music. highly recommended!

Best cocktails in the whole of Lisbon (trust me we have ventured) and for a decent price as well. Very laid back good vibes and an amazing music playlist whenever we come. What’s not to love? Would recommend the cheese and tostadas with jam as a little snack as you are tasting all the delicious cocktails. Our favourites are the orange whiskey sour and the basil gin fizz. Also the barmen are super friendly and lovely.

Absolutely amazing bar, great bartender, tasty toasts, good chill atmosphere. I like it here.

Best bar in town...very good cocktails at a very affordable price...

Awesome bar with great signature cocktails

Fred was awesome! Excellent drinks. Great prices.

Great bar, staff and excellent cocktails. We’ve been back two nights in the trot, definitely visit!

Good cocktails, good music and great staff! 🐤

Very cozy place for having a drink in the evening!

Very nice staff, best cocktails in the neighborhood

Really friendly place with good coctails. The staff is professional and very kind!!!

Average drinks at good prices, unfortunately the staff is quite rude. Many better places to go to in the area.

Incredibly lovely owner, great drinks, very caring service! Must try the Tribute Gin Tonic and the portuguese sour ! We‘ll definitely come back 🧡

Great bar, very friendly bartenders and fresh food.
