6.2.24 The Beer Station

Largo do Duque de Cadaval

Location HERE

It’s below the Estação do Rossio! Go in the lower street level station entrance, through one of those ornate arches, up the first escalator, go left and outside, then right and it’s just past the corner of the building.


Began life as the Beer Station, was then transformed into Pisco Peruvian Bar (with a craft choice on tap), and has now returned to being the Beer Station once more, this time with the strapline Ponto de Encontro.

There are around eight craft choices on tap, from a range of brewers, some of which you might not find elsewhere in the city.

The current management seem very committed to making The Beer Station 2.0 a success, and it does get busy on those evenings when the weather stays pleasantly dry - and not too windy.

Metro Restauradores (Linha Azul), buses at Restauradores, heavy rail services at Estação de Rossio.

6.2.36 Aguarela Bar and Kitchen

[UPDATE April 19 - down the page] [UPDATE July 27 - showing "Temporarily Closed" again. Will try and find out what's going on. In the meantime, be warned] Rua Angelina Vidal 23 Location HERE . Open from 1800 to 2330 hours; closed Monday and Tuesday. Opened on the 24th October 2025, and yes, there is a link between this outlet and Outro Lado in the Old Downtown. At the top of Rua Angelina Vidal, so it qualifies as being in Graça, although that area is more usually known as Sapadores, the part of Graça where full-sized buses pass through, not just minibuses and trams. When the weather is warm and dry enough, the terrace comes into its own, with views down Rua Angelina Vidal. You can watch the trams, often carrying a crush load, while enjoying eats and drinks. The terrace will be a very important aspect of this outlet, especially as the indoor space - not unlike the Oitava Colina Taproom nearby - is small. Beers on tap mainly from Aguarela. And a noticeable push to sell more...

4.7.5 Cacilhas and Cristo Rei

Image
Across the river from Cais do Sodré, via the shortest ferry crossing in town, Cacilhas is a ferry terminal, part of the city of Almada, with a tram and bus station next to the ferry berth. There are cafés and restaurants just back from the waterfront, plus a small maritime museum which houses the sailing ship Dom Fernando II e Glória, and submarine S164 (these are pay attractions). But the main attraction for those making the ferry trip over from Cais do Sodré is to visit Santuário de Cristo Rei (Sanctuary of Christ the King), located on a nearby hilltop. View from the terrace This is outside Zone L, so best bet for those using public transport is to get a separate cardboard Navegante ticket, load it with credit, and use it in Zapping mode. CAUTION if you’re on a Lisboa Card, I’m not sure if it includes the ferry, but it certainly doesn’t include the bus from Cacilhas to Cristo Rei. Ferry schedule HERE . Bus 3001 schedule HERE . The bus terminus at Cacilhas is on the east side of the ...

6.2.37 Mestre da Cerveja

Image
Rua Tomás da Anunciação 88B Location HERE . Open: Monday to Thursday 1500-2300; Friday and Saturday 1600-Midnight; closed Sundays. It’s up in Campo de Ourique! In the grid pattern of streets north of the tram route, an area with a seriously high incidence of the Smart fortwo, is Lisbon’s smallest craft beer outlet. Less inside space than AMO, and indeed less inside space than the Pravda Craft Mission outlet in Marvila. Some tables outside. So what’s on offer? Five taps with a regularly changing offering, backed up by lots of bottles and cans. Always an IPA on the go. And what about food? Indeed, what about food. There is a pizza and calzone menu on offer, but it does not come from this bar. You place an order, it is phoned through, and then it is collected from a nearby restaurant and delivered to your table. The cost is added to your bill. Seems to work OK. Buses 701 and 774 nearby; Tram 25 and 28, plus bus 709, down on Rua Saraiva de Carvalho. [ HOME ]
