6.2.44 Pravda Craft Mission (Parque das Nações)

Jardim dos Jacarandás 8C

Location HERE.

Open 1600 to 2200 hours Monday to Thursday, 1400 to 2300 hours Friday to Sunday.


So after the original Pravda outlet in Marvila closed, another opening was signposted, but those hoping for another location in Marvila will be disappointed, while those in Parque das Nações, especially that part north of Gare Oriente and the Vasco da Gama centre, will be quietly pleased.

Because this bar, opened in July 2026, fills one big gap, bringing craft beer to a quiet and upmarket residential area. It’s just off Alameda dos Oceanos, and not far from Moscavide. One word of warning for those arriving by train at Moscavide station: trains arrive at the platforms on the west side, so you have to cross over the east side tracks, it’s 40 steps up to the footbridge, cos the lifts are broken. AGAIN.

No such problem if you arrive by bus - a very short walk from the stops marked Jardim Jacarandás. So what’s on offer?


Seating both inside and out, the usual range of Pravda beers (including Lviv Blanche, Facet Pale, and Lviv IPA), plus a food offering which includes hot dogs and pizza in addition to crisps and nuts.

Just one toilet/bathroom/whatever at the back of the bar.

Service is good and helpful. It’s already popular with groups and couples.

Trains at Moscavide (service good on weekdays, but not at weekends or public holidays); Buses 26B and 708; bit of a trek from Moscavide metro station (Linha Vermelha).

[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...

6.2.37 Mestre da Cerveja

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 ]

Padrão dos Descobrimentos , on the Belém waterfront, has reopened! Works on the “ water mirror ” fountain in Parque Recreativo Alto da Serafina have been completed, and the result is worth a visit on its own. The 770 bus from the north side of Sete Rios will take you there - an ideal place to chill for an hour or two, especially in the summer heat. Water Mirror at Alto da Serafina Next Sunday, May 18th, is International Museums Day, and Museu da Carris - the bus and tram museum - is offering free admission. Link HERE . For beer lovers, there is a craft beer festival on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th May, called Ponte & Pints, at Escala 25, below the Ponte 25 de Abril, on the north side of the Avenida da India, and close to the LX Factory. 14 craft brewers from across Portugal will be represented. There will also be food trucks, and what is called a “sustainable market”. Link HERE . On the subject of craft beer outlets, Crafty Corner , situated on the south side of the Cathedral, h...
