6.2.20 Trobadores

Calçada de São Francisco 6A

Location HERE

Used to be at the eastern end of the Rua de São Julião. But it isn’t now. More food outlet than bar, but they don’t mind you just dropping in for a beer.

Correcting those who say the beer offering is all commodity stuff, no it isn’t. Their wheat beer is brewed by Oitava Colina, they have that brewery’s Urraca Vendaval IPA on as a permanent fixture, Musa Frank APA, and Dois Corvos Murmurio too. Not a huge selection, but worth a detour for the IPA, for those not inclined to do the hike up to Graça.

Talking of food outlet, this is the place famed for its Flaming Sausage™, which you’ve got to try once (sadly, it can no longer be 'flamed' at the table). The day’s tapas offerings are brought around on the Merchant’s Cart: one of those plus the flaming sausage is a decent meal - and not expensive, especially given the Tourist Central location.

Trobadores have a stand at the pop-up market that happens on the Praça da Figueira; it does not take cards, but usually offers the Urraca Vendaval IPA - as far as is known, the only craft beer on offer at that market.

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.
