Classic Lisbon live-music hangout with strong rock covers, lively crowd, and fair prices; service and door policy can be hit-or-miss and the small, smoky room gets packed late.
Templários Bar earns its grade as a beloved Lisbon rock institution where strong destination appeal for live music and deep local loyalty spanning years offset limitations in food and physical comfort. Cramped, crowded conditions and minimal food focus prevent a higher grade, but friendly, efficient service and reliable band quality make it worth visiting if you prioritize live covers and neighborhood energy over dining refinement.
One caveat: Crowding in a small space; many reserved tables reduce standing room
