Planning a trip to Lisbon and love craft beer? You’re in luck: the city is packed with independent taprooms, creative recipes and a laid-back vibe.
The craft-beer scene in Lisbon
Microbreweries and specialist bars pour juicy IPAs, silky stouts and bright sours—most within walking distance of the historic centre.

Crisp lagers, tropical IPAs and NEIPAs, coffee-driven stouts, chocolatey porters, refreshing sours and easy-drinking ambers and blondes.
Where to drink craft beer in Lisbon
Kick off at Queen Ale. Five minutes from Baixa and Rossio, we pour 10 rotating taps and stock 40+ cold cans.
Other great bars to explore
Lisbon’s craft-beer scene thrives on collaboration. After Queen Ale, stop by:
Outro Lado
Hidden in Alfama, it offers 15 taps and 200+ bottles and cans — rare European or US releases paired with wood-fired pizza.
LisPOA
Tank-to-glass brewpub in buzzing Arroios: ultra-fresh pours, live music, street-food pop-ups and art shows.
8ª Colina
Perched on Lisbon’s eighth hill in Graça, sip 10 house beers while the sun sets over the rooftops.
Tips for craft-beer travellers
- Downtown is walkable; hop on the metro or iconic Tram 28 for longer rides.
