Our Take on Irish & Co.
Irish & Co. holds Rua da Pimenta 57 to 61 in Parque das Nacoes, the modern riverside district at the Oriente end of the city. The Grupo Capricciosa venue bills itself as a sports bar with a Lisbon heart and an Irish soul.
Televisions tuned to sport run through the wood lined room, per Time Out Lisboa's listing, with rugby and football as the staples. Portuguese sports daily coverage of the 2023 Rugby World Cup named it among the city's rooms for the tournament.
The space spreads across balconies and mezzanines with a terrace facing the river, and the kitchen runs burgers, steaks, mussels and roasted chorizo. Craft beers, Irish whiskeys and a proper Irish coffee round out the bar.
Within Lisbon's match map, Irish & Co. is the natural room for fans staying near Oriente, and the most comfortable rugby watch east of the center.
