It’s easy to miss the entrance to this speakeasy in the bohemian neighborhood of Bairro Alto. The former grocery store looks abandoned on a street full of restaurants. But once you ring the bell, you’ll find yourself in five bustling rooms—and an impressive collection of vintage toys and art. There is also a special alcohol list that you won’t find anywhere else.

It’s all about the tiles in Lisbon. To learn more go to the Museu Nacional do Azulejo. While located at the Madre de Deus Convent, located a little outside the center in Xabregas, it’s worth the trip to see a collection of pieces dating back to the 1400s.
