A Must-Visit for Craft Beer Lovers
If you love craft beer, this is the place for you.
We stumbled upon this bar as we were staying around the corner, and what a find! With 20 taps and an impressive selection of local craft brews in the fridge, there’s no shortage of great beer to explore. I sampled a few flights and, as a fan of strong beers, I was not disappointed. My favorites? The Saison Ba Moscatel Setúbal & Portuguese White Wine (10% ABV) and Virvatuli (Cellar Series - 13%)—bold, complex, and absolutely delicious (almost a meal in themselves). That said, the selection of IPAs was also excellent.
Location & Atmosphere
The pub is just 800 meters from the Three Bridges, making for an easy 10-minute stroll upstream. I visited in early February, and while it was cool (and not crowded), sitting outside by the river was really pleasant. I’m told its really popular in the warmer months.
Food
For a pub, the food selection is tasty. The empanadas were a particularly good pairing with the beers, and if you’re after something more substantial, the coconut curry is a great option (vegetable, chicken or prawns) —my vegetarian wife loved the vegetable curry (just the right amount of heat).
Service & Experience
The staff are passionate about craft beer and incredibly friendly. If I had one small piece of feedback, it would be that the music can sometimes feel a bit heavy, especially in the quieter afternoon hours when a more relaxed vibe might suit the setting better.
Final Verdict
If you appreciate quality craft beer, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
