Bar Old Vic

The place is just a gem itself, but the waiters are just the kindest. The attention to the client is unmatched. Had a great night there having a drink with a friend, nibbling the fresh pop corns that they bring to the table and just vibing to the music they play. Will come back for sure!

Great snacks. Good cocktails that sneak up on you. Really cool environment with red velvet seats and antiques. Feels like an English pub. A little pricey.

A place where you can talk with friends without yelling. Loved the entire vibe of the place. Just make sure to bring cash though. When we went there, unfortunately they didn’t accept cards or MBway at least. Would still recommend the place. Loved the drinks! The drinks were really good with reasonable price, and it wasn’t full of ice, like what other bars do. Would definitely come back.

So cute, love it here. The barman Paul is a legend

Hidden bar in Lisbon. Older man working behind the bar, and we were one of the first customers to arrive. It's definitely a vibe, and I would recommend it to come earlier. Be aware that it is a smoking bar, but that's part of the "bodega" experience.

Unfortunately, when the waiter approached my table, he took my friend's order but ignored me entirely. I waited patiently for him to acknowledge me, but he didn’t. Eventually I had to leave my seat and approach the waiter to place my order. Even then, his behavior remained dismissive. When my drink was prepared, he left it near me without saying a word, throwing the straw toward my drink instead of handing it to me properly. Throughout this interaction, he paid no attention to me and seemed focused on speaking with other customers nearby. I strongly believe this treatment was racially motivated, as there was no other apparent reason for the way I was disregarded. This made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in an environment where all customers should be treated with respect.

this is a very cosy bar with a nice noir atmosphere and the staff which I presume was Vic himself was an old fashioned gentleman. one of the nicest experiences in Lisbon for us

Cozy place, not too crowded, very friendly staff and amazing drinks, highly recommend! The staff renewed our popcorn for hot new ones without we even order.

We went here in late 2019. I was just reminiscing about Lisbon and thought I'd pass by here, and chime in. I also just stumbled on a business card I grabbed at the time, reminding me of this place. This is a fun bar, but it's on you to have fun, if it's what you're seeking. It's not a loud club where everyone's standing around and there is no dance floor. I can't remember if this was in a low rise building or a house, but the layout was delightfully strange. We sat in a loungey size room, but there was another smaller room where the bar was with the uniformed older dudes running the joint. They were playing 80's pop, not too loud, and the place is super dark and feels like you're sitting down in a time warp. The staff had uniforms, there was a bell at the table to summon them, the cocktails, vibe, everything about it seemed super old, and the fact that you have to really look for this place or you'll miss it further cements the ye olde impression of this place. So nothing mind blowing, but if you want to step back to 1968 for some drinking, I recommend this spot. We were here near winter, so I don't know if there is a patio or deck. And of course, smoking's allowed. Most places I've been to in Lisbon are like that, but coming from Canada, that's a retro novelty itself.
