Our Take on The Couch Sports Bar
The Couch Sports Bar spreads over roughly 300 square meters in Cais do Sodre, close to the station and Pink Street, and runs as Lisbon's screen count leader. Wanderlog's listing counts 32 large screen TVs plus two massive two meter displays wired to more than 3,000 channels.
That channel depth is the point. European league football, the Champions League, rugby, tennis, Formula 1 and American football all run at once, and Tripadvisor reviewers note the staff will find and screen a requested match.
The bar pours Sagres and Guinness alongside a cocktail list, with the Pele cocktail as the house nod to the sport. The kitchen runs burgers, sandwiches and sharing plates sized for a long double bill.
Within Lisbon sports bars, The Couch is the room that solves a Benfica derby landing on top of a Premier League fixture. Arrive early on derby nights, since the seats with the best sight lines go first.
