The George Pub – Lisbon’s First Traditional British Pub

Greg Boegner — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:02:00 +0000

The British and Portuguese have maintained, what many believe to be, the oldest friendship in history. Officially, it is called the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, and it has been in effect since both countries signed the Treaty of Windsor in 1386. Since then, Brits have come to Portugal to enjoy the sun, wine and chicken peri-peri…and the Portuguese welcome them with open arms. A new bar/restaurant in Lisbon celebrates traditional British culture in a way that even Winston Churchill would enjoy. It’s […]

Imprensa Oyster & Cocktail Bar, Lisbon

Ann Abel — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 10:12:49 +0000

By the end of 2022, oyster bars had become popular in Lisbon. But three years ago, when the five bartender-founders of Imprensa had the idea to open a “Brooklyn-style” oyster bar, the concept was all but unheard-of. They stuck with it—the original signature cocktails and cool vibe probably didn’t hurt—and now that oysters have caught on in the capital, Imprensa still remains one of the best places to eat them. And it’s become so popular that it was able to […]
