But each of the bars featured on the list is a great choice for your afternoon/evening outing, so you won’t go wrong regardless of what you pick!

Let’s get started!

If you’d like to spend a night out here, you should know that the bar has an evening dress code, so pack some more elegant clothes!

This is a very popular bar – especially among the tourists visiting Cais do Sodré, so if you want to have lunch and dinner, you need to make a reservation. However, if all you want to do is have a drink and watch the sunset, there’s no need to make a reservation – Java will welcome you.
