Social B

Tucked away on a back street between Cais do Sodré and Santos is a discreet door that leads to Social B. Tables are scattered in every nook, and there’s a cool main bar between old stone arches, exposed brick walls, and mis-matched decor that feels as though it’s been collected from the owner’s friends and family over the years.

There’s no set menu—this is the kind of spot where you tell the bartender what you’re in the mood for and then a few minutes later they’re back with a drink. They also have snacks and small plates of things like coconut falafel and vegetable or crab curry, plus a weekly schedule full of live music and performances, from flamenco on Tuesdays to live bands and DJs most days of the week.
