Fav bar in Lisbon - a lot more modern than the rest. Great staff and service. They go out of your way to make you feel welcomed and entertained. Good prices, excellent music, and they even serve pizza & toasties!Carlos Cruz

Bartender was very pleasant, this guy made us feel like home, definitely quiet before 11:00 pm but I’m sure it’s a great time anytime you visit! Service was outstandingRia Hunt

We absolutely loved the Shelter Bar. We're a queer couple from the states and went in search of other queers in the Príncipe Real area. We felt right at home and instant friends with Amadeo behind the bar. He was a pure delight and we had to go back another night.Kentoch Mervel

Our experience at Shelter in Lisbon was nothing short of incredible! The vibrant atmosphere and Amadeo's friendly demeanor, combined with his knack for mixing great drinks, made it an unforgettable night out. The bar's warm and welcoming vibe, along with Amadeo's outgoing and interesting personality, created the perfect setting for a fantastic evening. We'll undoubtedly be returning to Shelter for more memorable nights! Highly recommend this gem in Lisbon.Gene Powers

This is THE BEST BAR in Lisbon. Amadeo, in picture, is a bartender extraordinaire. He makes you feel like you have come home. Massimo, one of the owners, has created an atmosphere that is comfortable and welcoming and a bit edgy. Great music. This is a good place to start your evening or to finish it. In the upscale Principe Real neighborhood with other gay bars and clubs steps away. Go!Gene from the US.Tim Ogletree

The Shelter Bar is an amazing place to spend your night. The pizza was good and Amadeo was very friendly and makes great drinks. I highly recommend the Shelter during your visit to Lisbon.Thomas Varney

I spent 10’days in Lisbon and visited this bar every night! Amadeo and all of the staff was amazing making interesting introductions to other patrons in the club that made my trip even more enjoyable! I highly recomend that you add this gay bar to your list of bars to visit!Andy Yankulov

The guys who run the bar are absolutely amazing. So sweet, fun, and welcoming. If you’re lucky, one of them will show you his Mario Bros pics from around the world. I shall say no more than that; go find out for yourself, they’re not to be missed Alex Pollard

Popular, cosy and friendly bear bar in Principe Real with a relaxed atmosphere. DJs from 22:00 on weekends. Special event nights for Carnival, Eurovision etc. (one of the few gay bars to open early at 6pm).Phil Hollman

We have not tried any food there so cannot comment hence no star rating for food, but the atmosphere and the service from the bar staff are second to none. so much so that we have been there twice in 2 days and will be going again several times during our stay in lisbon. Super friendly and very welcoming. Keep doing what you're doing guys.xNavi Olakerb

We were there waaaay to early (7pm) on Tuesday night. Friendly staff ( most gorgeous brown eyes) only few ppl there so we knew that it wouldn’t be packed.We wanted to check it out. That’s all.We did score some great bear t shirts !!It’s a bar.Didn’t see a dance floor or cruise area. Given the size I don’t think there is one.Mauricio Montaño

Phenomenal find! The crowd is a very handsome mix of all age groups, but definitely younger than most gay bars in the area. Lots of fun in a safe environment!Hollwyood C.

Great gay bar, hole in the wall, attracts mostly 30 years and older. Great music from the 80s, people genuinely try to make a connection. Service is...Hélio Braga

Unfortunately, we visited on a Thursday and arrived too early, meaning that it was less of a crowd. The music was good, and the staff was friendly. Will most likely return next time we visit Lisbon again.Miguel Linan

Nice bar with a good ambient and a friendly crowd. A good option for the area. Not your default choice if you're a younger person or are into younger people, but the music is good.Michael G.

This is my neighborhood hang out. I come here 4 or 5 times a week. Telmo and Rodrigo are the best bartenders. Friendly vibe. Not a club but good music and atmosphere. Later in the evening is busier.Padri Veum

This small bar is a treasure. Max made me feel so welcome, as if i was an old and dear friend. It was easy to meet and talk to other guests, and the environment is relaxed, comfortable and so, so welcoming. If you're in Lisbon and want to mingle with the LGBT community (and any heteros who happen to walk in), Shelter Bar is exquisite. 1000% must visit.Peter Nixon

Great and friendly service and perfect cocktails. A lot of space during covid so easy to socially distance and felt safe.Frank J

NOT A SAFE PLACE! They are desperate for money! They try to follow the rules of the government because of coronavirus but they asked me to sit people that i have no idea who they are in my table, and I saw the same situation with other visitors. The social distance is impossible to be fulfilled cause they put people everywhere. They forced me to eat, otherwise i wouldn´t be allowed to drink alcohol but i saw people drinking without food. When i asked the schedule they said that people can come in till midnight but i saw new customers arriving after that. Stay safe and don´t go thereAdrian Drott

Rubbish! The place looks like random birthday party articles crammed together! The staff, except for the tall, serious one, were so unprofessionaland super rude! They were very rude and were ignoring us, everytime we tried to wave to them to order something. The very young staff (the cub one) was the worst. He would not respond to wordingQuestions without rolling his eyes. Probably here are only the known local guests welcome. We’ll never go back again. I don’t recommend this place to anyone.B C.
