Small and intimate (and simultaneously sleek and grungy), this Cais do Sodré watering hole boasts a beautiful hardwood back bar and original stained glass from when it opened as an exchange bureau in 1885. There aren't many tourists here and it serves mostly beer and gin and tonics (made with unique house-macerated tinctures). For seasoned bohemian drinkers.
