Our Take on Hennessy's Irish Pub
Hennessy's runs a full service Irish pub at Rua do Cais do Sodre 32 to 38, on the strip between the station and Pink Street. Time Out Lisbon notes the screens placed through the premises, letting several competitions run at once.
The sports list goes beyond the usual: football and rugby lead, with hurling on the calendar for the Irish crowd. The kitchen serves all day, running from pies and pasta to Portuguese cod stew.
Live music fills Friday and Saturday nights, with an open mic on Wednesdays, so a 4pm kickoff can roll into a session without changing rooms. Doors run to 2am midweek and 4am on weekends.
Among Lisbon's match pubs, Hennessy's is the comfortable all rounder: Guinness done properly, food that outclasses bar snacks, and sport with a soundtrack after.
