Procópio Bar

"Procópio has been open since the '70s and, at the time, was one of the few places that stayed open late, which made it a classic after-hours meeting point for Lisbon locals. Just off the Jardim das Amoreiras, you’ll see a staircase that leads to a small courtyard and a charming house covered in ivy with a few tables outside. Inside, there’s art nouveau decor, red velvet booths, waiters wearing bowties, and the lingering smell of years of tobacco smoke. Every drink at this warm and cozy spot comes with a bowl of popcorn that’s tasted the same for a half-century. " - rita geraldes

"A Cozy and Intimate Historical Bar Decorated by Luís Pinto Coelho, who also decorated “A Paródia” and “Pavilhão Chinês,” this historic bar is 40 years old. With an art nouveau décor, the space is very cozy. A piano serves as a table, and shelves are full of sculptures and busts. Journalists and people with connections to politics used to frequent this place, but that was some years ago. Nowadays, it’s a good choice for a conversation with friends, without the chaos of bigger bars like the ones in Bairro Alto."
