Our Take
Bairro Alto's Heritage Fado Tasca
Tasca do Chico is a heritage Lisbon tasca with live fado music nightly. The room is preserved old Lisbon — wooden floors, dim warm lighting, framed fado memorabilia covering every wall. The bar runs amateur fado singers from the audience as well as professional booked acts.
The drinks are simple — Portuguese beer, basic wine, Ginja. The food is traditional Portuguese petiscos. The fado typically starts around 21:00 and runs through the evening. Tourist-popular but genuinely Portuguese.
The crowd is mixed Bairro Alto locals and visiting fado enthusiasts. Pair with the wider Bairro Alto bar scene for a complete evening.
What to Order

Portuguese lager on tap. Reliable.
Ginja
Portuguese sour cherry liqueur served chilled. The traditional digestif.
Vinho Verde

Live Fado
Nightly. Amateur and professional. The bar's actual product.
