A Ginjinha

Casual barLocals' pick

The hole-in-the-wall on Largo de São Domingos opened in 1840 by a Galician named Espinheira, where Lojas com História says counter-only drinking in Lisbon began; you stand in the square with a little glass of sour-cherry liqueur among regulars and visitors.

Good to know

  • The only question at the counter: com elas (with the cherries) or sem elas (without).
  • Look at the painted glass with comic folk quatrains above the counter.
  • Drink it standing outside, as everyone does; it opens at 10:00.
