6.2.12 Oitava Colina Taproom

Rua Damasceno Monteiro 8A

Location HERE

The name means “Eighth Hill”. Perched overlooking the old downtown, with the best views of any craft beer outlet, this is an excellent place to while away an hour or two. Their beers include Urraca Vendaval IPA, which is beyond merely good. There is a food menu (including the moreish Green Beans Tempura) and seats outside. And did I mention the views?


For all those saying that you need to do lots of climbing steep streets and/or steps to get here, no you don’t. Get the 734 minibus, or 28 tram, from Martim Moniz, to Graça - job done. Or the 10B Bairrobus from Campo Cebolas, which is near the Sul e Sueste bus stops and the Terreiro do Paço ferry terminal (as with the 734 and tram, alight at Graça).


Once here, you’ll encounter the Air BnB Graça crowd, which is significantly Stateside and laid back. Engage, chill, laugh a little. And enjoy the beer.

6.2 Craft Beer Bars

The craft beer revolution began to wash over Lisbon around a decade ago. Some outlets have, in the meantime, come and gone, but the scene is a good one for locals and visitors alike. You can get decent beer in The Great City - here are outlets I know about and have visited recently. Follow the links! Most outlets keep to their advertised opening hours. HOWEVER one or two may be unable to open on occasion - CHECK beforehand to avoid disappointment.
