If you are looking for a great fun Bear bar. This is definitely it. Bars in Lisbon are tiny. This bar however is a great size. The DJ’s are incredible and the staff and owners… I couldn’t say enough great things about them! Also, very easy on the eyes if I do say so myself! Even if you are not a bear stop by. It’s just a really fun and easy crowd. Thank you Shelter for making our night out an amazing one! Definitely will be back! ❤️

Best Espresso Martini in Lisbon. Melhor Espresso Martini em Lisboa. Friendly atmosphere. Nicest bartenders. We ended up going here multiple nights on our trip.

A beautiful and “colourful” place in the middle of Barrio Alto, with good vibe music, lively and lovely staff (grin grin) . Easy going and everyone is welcome! Even MOI…. Xxx

I was a frequent customer of the old Bar, I must say that I am more centrally located near many other places, so much more choice, I find it much more inconvenient to reach for those who have walking difficulties as there is a climb and then a very steep descent, you cannot get there directly with a taxi or a car, the atmosphere is always top and the staff are always very kind, it's a shame where it is located
