Perfect cocktails, great ambiance! Their sangria and cocktails are very well crafted and with a good portion of alcohol (high quality one!). From 8pm they have a dj with great house music. They also have a outside area perfect for the warm days
Came here 2 years ago and met the owner and his son. Had such a great time. Spent every evening we were in Lisbon there. We’re so excited to go back when we got back to town this week but were left rather disappointed when we showed up at 11:40 and were told they were already closed and we couldn’t have a drink. Every outside table was full. The server had just brought out drinks, but we couldn’t go in for one round? UPDATE: came back the next night with hopes of a better experience like we remembered… unfortunately we were left disappointed again. Sat at the bar for 5 minutes with a bartender staring at us, zero fretting, before the same server who wouldn’t serve us at 11:40 last night asked us for our drink order. Drinks were good, service was beyond lackluster. Watched the bartender disappear outside for heater break. Thankfully the bartender washed his hands upon return because our server still hasn’t and it’s been 10 minutes. Needless to say we didn’t order another and walked out. Quite a shame because 2 years ago, we saw the passion and care from the owners. The staff does not share that passion AT ALL. We’ll still return next time in Lisbon, but we are leaving this time extremely disappointed. Took a picture to show the bar empty, again with no bartender. Should have taken a picture of them closing the doors at 11:10pm. Now I know why we couldn’t get a drink last night
Fantastic cocktail bar with a great atmosphere and a live DJ in the evening. The cocktails were expertly made and some of the most unique we’ve tried in Lisbon. We had the Espresso Martini, O.F. Martini, Old Fashioned Portuguese, and Piña-ou-Nada, and every drink was beautifully balanced and full of flavour. A stylish spot with excellent drinks, good music, and a really cool vibe. Definitely worth a visit.
Absolute vibes! A solid spot if you’re after good drinks and a proper night out. The cocktails are well done and there’s a good variety. There is a live DJ, which gives the place a nice lively energy as the night went on. Service was great, friendly and quick. Also worth mentioning the outdoor seating, I’d definitely recommend grabbing a table outside if you can.
If you’re looking for a spot in Lisbon that blends great cocktails, stylish ambiance, and a social vibe, Cabal is definitely one to have on your list. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels effortlessly cool—modern, intimate, and perfect for either a date night or drinks with friends. The marble tables, dim lighting, and curated music create that “hidden gem” energy right in the heart of the city. The cocktails are the real highlight. Each drink is beautifully presented and clearly crafted with attention to detail. From refreshing citrus mixes to more complex, creamy options topped with edible flowers, everything feels elevated without being pretentious. You can tell there’s creativity behind the menu, and it shows in both flavor and presentation.
