Great little bar in Lisbon; cozy with nostalgic atmosphere and music 😁. We met friends here 3 yrs ago, didn't have time to go back last year, then met again a few days ago. Didn't have a long time, but it was a good time! Whether to meet up there to go elsewhere or hang out all night for conversation and drinks, this is a wonderful place to go.

I’ve been coming to Side Bar for the past 2 years, and it remains one of my favorite spots in Lisbon. It’s a small, cozy bar with a warm atmosphere that always makes me feel welcome. Diogo is wonderful, genuinely friendly, remembers his guests, and makes one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve had anywhere. Great drinks and great service. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back.

Expensive and average cocktails and there was a huge cockroach in the bathroom 💔 it's also very small and doesn't have good ventilation P.S. I see your response. We literally hit multiple bars in the same neighborhood yesterday and the prices there are noticeably lower with same/better quality, so I suggest you visit some bars as well if you want to align your prices with other Lisbon bars. The cockroach was also yesterday so feel free to investigate 🫶 it's true I didn't report it in time but I have a slight phobia so I had to leave immediately. Thanks for understanding and I hope you fix this situation.
