Alfama, Castelo & Graça
One of the top brewers in Lisbon's microbrew scene, 8ª Colina's long-awaited taproom opened with spectacularly framed castle views straight from its 10 taps in 2018. The minimalist, slate-grey space is a nod to industrial design; and there's good pub grub (pulled pork, banh mi, bratwurst) to pair with its lagers, IPAs and porters.
Nearby, you can grab a pint in its five-tap kiosk.
