Mina Eskandari
★★★★★a year agoPensão Amor is a well-known and touristy bar in Lisbon with a unique charm. It used to be a former brothel, and you can still see hints of that in the decor and atmosphere – it definitely adds to the experience! The drinks are more expensive compared to other places, but the vibe is fun and artsy, and the staff are really nice. If you have some time while in Lisbon, it’s worth checking out for the history and ambiance.

★★★★★a year agoProbably one of the best bars in the city. Stunning, unique atmosphere and ambient. Wonderful crowd. Good location. Prices quite high and drinks not so unique or tasty. Not expertly crafted cocktails. Rather traditional classics. The big downside was service. Random, inexperienced young people. They didn't have any customer service skills or knowledge, so unless you don't know yourself what you like I wouldn't recommend. Quite shocked us when one of the waitresses spilled whole entire tray of drinks straight onto young foreign customers sitting by one of the tables next to us! What kind of service is it?
