Lisbon drinks late, and its cocktail bars climb the hills from the riverfront up to the miradouros. Principe Real holds much of the craft scene, with Red Frog Speakeasy, Cinco Lounge and the tiled curiosity of Pavilhao Chines, while Park sits atop a car park in Bairro Alto for the city's best-known terrace view. Down at Cais do Sodre, Pensao Amor and O Bom, O Mau e O Vilao trade on the old red-light district's theatrical rooms.
