The Rua do Alecrim townhouse cocktail bar named for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, with a music room running most nights.
O Bom, O Mau e O Vilão (named for the Portuguese title of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly) occupies a converted townhouse on Rua do Alecrim, a three-minute walk uphill from Cais do Sodré toward Chiado. The format is three rooms: a ground-floor cocktail bar, a first-floor music room with a rotating live programme, and a smaller back room for quieter conversations. Conde Nast Traveler and Time Out Lisbon have both profiled it as a Cais do Sodré reference cocktail bar.
The right visitor wants a cocktail in the ground-floor bar, a move upstairs to catch a live set, and the back room for the closing round. The wrong visitor wants a single-room cocktail bar — the room arrangement is the format — or a quiet conversational corner all night, since the live-music programme runs through dinner hour weekends.
Three rooms in a converted Cais do Sodré townhouse: the ground-floor bar runs as a long counter and standing-room cocktail room; the first floor is a 60-cap live-music room with a small stage and table seating; the back room is a quieter cocktail lounge. The Infatuation Lisbon described the room arrangement as 'the Cais do Sodré cocktail bar with the most movement — the night migrates upstairs'.
Order a Negroni (€11) or a port flight (€12) and a ginja shot (€3) to start — the recurring orders across the top 25 Google Maps reviews. Conde Nast Traveler's Lisbon cocktail guide singled out the port flight as 'the underused move in the Cais do Sodré cocktail circuit'.
Skip the laminated tourist cocktails on the back of the menu — the programme is at its best with classics and Portuguese fortified-wine formats. The kitchen runs small plates from a short menu, designed for the music-room pacing rather than a destination dinner.
Through 20:30 the room reads as Cais do Sodré couples and small office groups doing pre-set drinks. From 22:00 the upstairs music room programme starts and the night shifts upstairs; the ground floor stays as the second-bar move for non-music visitors. The room thins after 01:00 and runs to 02:00 weekends.
