"Plenty of bars will vie for your attention in Bairro Alto, Lisbon’s nightlife hub, but don't overlook Maria Caxuxa. A wood-burning oven and vintage machinery pay homage to the bar’s past—a circa-1946 bakery—bottles are illuminated on bar shelves against the backdrop of a world map; and wallpaper, movie posters, and sofas give the space a cozy, informal feel. A chilled-out alternative to Bairro Alto’s more rambunctious joints, Maria Caxuxa is a good spot for a beer, coffee, or a simple cocktail." - Alia Akkam
