A tiny bar near Rossio that has been serving its singular product — ginjinha, the cherry brandy liqueur — since 1840. The entire operation consists of a doorway, a counter, two barrels, and a queue. There is no place to sit; you stand on the pavement with your small glass and drink it before the next person needs the space.
The ginjinha here is the standard against which all others are judged: syrupy, strong, with the sour kick of the morello cherries cutting through the sweetness. It costs very little and is an essential Lisbon experience. Open from mid-morning until late; the busiest times are early evening. At Largo São Domingos 8, a minute from Rossio.
