The Monarch - Review - Cais do Sodré - Lisbon - The Infatuation

"You’ll drink like a royal at this fancy bar on Rua da Boavista in Cais do Sodré. But it’s Lisbon, so anything that sounds fancy is typically pretty casual. Here, you’ll find locals with surfer tans and ripped jeans lounging on velvet couches in a stone-clad space with chequered floors and a lavish marble bar. There are kitschy paintings of deceased Portuguese royals on the walls, of course, making it the perfect setting for enjoying a Hollywood cocktail with Havana rum and pau santo from Brazil, a Backdoor Bandit with tequila and chipotle, or anything from the menu that draws inspiration from all corners of the world." - Rita Geraldes
