6.2.13 Canil Marques

Rua de Santa Marta 35

Location HERE

Actually, this is not far from AMO Brewery, but down the hill and close to Avenida da Liberdade. A second outlet for Canil, which means Kennel, hence the stylised dog’s head logo. A sub-set of the Canil offering you’d expect at their main place in the Baixa, with a similar food menu. Which includes battered cod and chips, British People.


Decent beer, good service, not generally as busy as the main branch.

One difference is the self-serve range of beers which, whenever I visit, does not seem to tempt any punters. A novel idea which has attracted criticism for beers not being in particularly good condition. HOWEVER. It’s keg, innit? The problem, I concluded, is that the beers are not drawn through often enough to clear the lines. So what you get for the first one out is what’s in the line connecting the keg to the tap.

YEUCH. There are something like 14 of these beers, and if they don’t get drawn through so often, it becomes a self-defeating concept. Maybe not the best of ideas. But stick with the mainstream Canil beers, and it’s good.
