About Bacchanal
A cocktail bar in Chiado that people stumble into after Pink Street and end up staying far longer than planned. The bartenders — Alfonso, Lily, Eric among the names reviewers keep mentioning — give proper recommendations, hold real conversations, and will build something off-menu if that is what the moment calls for. The Burguesinha draws the most enthusiasm of any specific drink, and the Long Island and Call Me Maybe have their followers too. The espresso martini and gin drinks round out a list wide enough that anyone finds their footing. The space is compact and easy, the kind of room where solo service somehow stays quick, and the staff manage to make every table feel attended to without the place losing its loose, unhurried atmosphere.
