Sentido Proibido

Best bar in town, cheap drinks, good vibes, and the chillest barmaid in the world

Good place for Fado music. As with all places with live music, eat beforehand! Friendly staff and an overall nice ambiance. If you hate cigarette smoke like I do, don’t sit near the door.

We were curious about the 5 euros margarita, and it was not disappointing. We were worried the alcohol will be too diluted, but it quite the opposite. The place inside is a bit messy but otherwise it’s good. I assume most people order take away drinks in all cases. We spent the whole night drinking those XXL margaritas! The bartender is also friendly, dancing and singing with the people.

Avoid. Complete tourist trap. €8 for a shot of Ginja. €4 for a bottle of water. Portions were small and the bacalhau was terrible, no flavour. Decent initial service and music was ruined in the end by an outright hostile waitress. Like any place that needs someone on the street trying to wrangle in customers, avoid.

This place is terrible. A tourist trap. A guy on the street trying to get you in. The service no good. The server was pushing on the most expensive drinks and offer us some thing to eat while we wait for the food (for my surprise later it was more expensive that the main course). We feel uncomfortable in that place. We feel we were robbed and we cancel and ask for the check and we were robbed. 45 Euros in 15 minutes. A plate with four pieces of cheese 16 Euros plus they charge a 23% IVA over the bill. We don't eat. That was only two cups of porto and a piece of cheese. They run the business robbing the tourist, not with integrity. Don't go to this place.
