About this place Friends Bairro Alto

Friends Bairro Alto is an LGBTQ+ bar on Travessa da Água da Flor, one of the narrow lanes in Lisbon's Bairro Alto, the hillside nightlife quarter where most bars are small and the drinking happens as much in the street as inside. It is a social bar for a mixed queer crowd, locals and visitors alike. The Google rating is 4.4 from over 1,400 reviews. Like the rest of Bairro Alto it gets going late and is busiest on Thursday to Saturday nights. Príncipe Real, with more of Lisbon's gay bars, is a short uphill walk away. Hours and events are posted on its Instagram, which is the only website on file.

I visited the establishment mentioned and received excellent service with friendliness and cheerfulness. I felt at ease, as if I were in my own country. The waiter, Bruno, was extremely outgoing and attentive, friendly and spontaneous. The service is what makes the atmosphere, and in that aspect it was sensational. Thank you, Bruno, for the service.

The bar (in my opinion) has a good vibe. The music is also some of the most fun you can find in the neighborhood bars.
