About this place Casa Independente

Casa Independente on Largo do Intendente is not a gay bar in the conventional sense — it is a queer-friendly alternative culture venue that occupies a large, atmospheric multi-room space in the Intendente neighbourhood, programming live music, art exhibitions, film screenings, and community events alongside its bar function. The venue's politics are explicitly progressive and its atmosphere is welcoming of the full spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities, particularly the younger queer community that is less interested in the circuit bar scene of Príncipe Real. Intendente is one of Lisbon's most interesting up-and-coming neighbourhoods — historically working-class and now the site of significant cultural activity — and Casa Independente is its cultural anchor. For visitors wanting a Lisbon experience beyond the Príncipe Real gay scene, Casa Independente is the best alternative.

Horrible and rude staff, the most disrespectful experience we ever had, it was surreal. Avoid at all costs, luckily this place is closing soon, it’s embarrassing for Lisbon.

​An experience out of the ordinary and all to be lived, a real hidden gem just outside the chaos of downtown Lisbon. This place has a soul of its own, enveloping you as soon as you cross the threshold. It is not the usual trendy place, but a place that stands out for its authenticity and unique atmosphere. The decor is the first thing that strikes: an eclectic and well-kept mix, every corner tells a story. But it's the atmosphere that really makes the difference. You immediately feel at home, thanks also to the welcoming staff and the locals who frequent it. And for beer lovers, a pleasant surprise: high-quality beers at really honest prices. In short, an oasis of peace and personality, far from the usual tourist circuits. A place to discover, to experience and to tell.

Hidden away gem with a super funky arty vibe and cheap drinks! This has a open courtyard area with wicked decor and chilled music. We ventured there twice and it got busier and busier with both locals and tourists.

I was denied payment in cash because only card payments are accepted. I think this is an illegal practice. Regardless, the person who served me was super arrogant

An impressive place, comprising of many rooms and areas where you can enjoy your drink, as well as a patio. Nice music and polite staff. Only drawback; my coctail seemed kinda of light..

Great place to go out at night in Lisbon. Wonderful decoration/recovery and super nice people. We went on a Friday and we found the space very nice with several different zones where it was possible on the top floor to drink a few glasses while we were talking and on the bottom floor there was a room with a concert where it was also possible to dance. It has interior and exterior areas. Most people are foreigners, prices are for foreigners. Made my Moscow mule in front of me in a no special way, just mixing 3 ingredients in the glass. 9 euros. My friend ordered beer (only had one variety- super bock)- 4 euros for 200ml. I'm so sorry but I got an X on it, I'll never come back

Good place to have a beer or a glass of wine. We were there for about two hours and the vibe was really good. Good prices, not cheap, but also not expensive.

EN // Absolutely miserable staff, to say the least. They've treated me and my friends with utter disrespect, possibly considering us to be drunk (unfortunately not the case, as it would have been easier to forget), with one of the bar attenders breaking a beer glass on top of one of us, laughing as he did it, and adding a shy "I'm sorry", while turning it's back and proceding with his affairs. As a Lisbon resident my whole life, and used to attend restaurants and bars with a certain high degree and standards service wise, it was shocking to see how the event unfolded. We've tried not to overestimate the beer incident and moved on with our evening. One hour latter we went to the same bar attender to order another beer (since from what I could understand it was the only one open and serving beer), to which he replied they weren't serving anymore (even though it were 1:55 am and the bar only closed at 2:00 am). We reminded him of this fact and also of the previous episode of the shattered glass. He then ignored us and turned his back once again, apparently showing that it's his "MO" to solve and deal with problems. In response, we called the bar's manager. The latter (or so called) turned to us as his colleague wearing an ear to ear smile, as if this was something of no concern to them, and that the main value of the estabilshment was to defend their employees and not their customer's satisfaction. While I was trying to explain the rudeness of the previous incident he would face other people around, smiling, and ignoring my appeal. At a point he interrupted me and started yeling at my girlfriend who was by my side, telling her that he simply didn't care about what I was saying, since it was "he's last day here, and that he had to finish in a high note", he sarcastically told us. No apologize, no compensation, and 20 minutes of an ill favored talk was the conclusion of this disgusting conversation, prior to writing on the complaints book. One thing is for sure, if you want to go to a Lisbon Bar and to be well served, with respect, attencion, concern and education, then this is the last place I recomend you to go.

Very cool hidden bar in an old apartment, good outside area and nice cocktails, would definitely go back for a drink.
