Best Cocktail Bars in Portugal

Lisbon holds most of the best cocktail bars in Portugal, and its scene mixes hidden rooms with drinks built on local produce. Red Frog, a speakeasy tucked inside Monkey Mash on Praça da Alegria, reached No. 40 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2022, then placed No. 88 and No. 94 on the 51-100 list in 2023 and 2024. Monkey Mash itself opened in 2019 in a former strip club. At Toca da Raposa, Constança Cordeiro uses fresh Portuguese ingredients, with a 12-seat marble island at the center. Pensão Amor pours signature cocktails in an old Cais do Sodré brothel. Book Red Frog ahead, since Time Out calls reservations mandatory. These are the bars we would start with.
