The best pubs Portugal

This small bar-snack bar is located in the charming Republic Square, right next to the Santa Cruz Park and Gardens. The main customers of the place are students but everyone is welcome, at any time of the day. You can sit inside or on the terrace to have a drink, a cocktail or a coffee, accompanied by a hamburger, a toast, traditional petiscos (Coimbra tripe, fried egg, chicken legs...), a cod dish. For dessert: brownie, chocolate mousse, banana split... At very low prices.

In this Irish pub, you'll find excellent beers from all over the world. The pub is on 3 levels, and the top floor is beautifully decorated. It's the ideal place to watch a soccer match with friends or play a game of pool. Excellent francesinha to accompany drinks and homemade cheesecake. The waiters are friendly and if you don't like beer, the house cocktails are excellent. Very friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. Live music some evenings. Pleasant terrace in summer.

It is THE seaside bar, with its wooden counter, its entrance embellished by a street art fresco representing a wave (what could be more normal in Ericeira, one of the world's surfing capitals). It can be seen from a distance because it is located at the corner of a street. Atmosphere guaranteed in the evening, especially on weekends. You can choose from beers, cocktails and wines, including a fairly extensive gins list. If you like, there is even a small place to dance to the sound of the DJ set (sometimes the musical choices are not so great).
