O Purista Barbiere

Bairro Alto, Chiado & Cais do Sodré


How about a cocktail with that haircut? Luckily, it's the patrons knocking back fantastic gin and tonics at this hipster bar and barbershop, not the bearded coiffeurs. It's a decidedly male, speakeasy environment, but after the barbers pack up at 10pm, a beautiful mixed crowd converges over pool, Belgian and American craft beers and solid tunes.

Cocktails cost €7 to €15, haircuts €17.
