2 Best Bars in South of the River, Lisbon

Named for Rio de Janeiro's most upmarket beach neighborhood, Leblon attracts the same type of well-groomed beachgoer as its Brazilian namesake. Locals come here for tasty post-swim petiscos and strong caipirinhas, with things getting very busy on the weekends. Open until late during the summer, it's day drinking only from October to May.

This slick minimalist cocktail bar would easily rank on a list of Lisbon’s best bars, but refreshingly put down its roots on the southern bank. The carefully curated cocktail list focuses on the flavors and vibes of each drink, rather than the booze within.
