Golden Dragon - Finest Beer House in Lisbon — Restaurant in Lisbon

One could put it into one single word: WOW! Although the facade is stylish and clearly inviting, I didn’t expect facing such cosy and also stylish atmosphere inside. The place has been opened recently only and you can tell it by the look and smell. It‘s all created with an eye for the big and small details, but at no point it looks unnatural or even exaggerated. All fits perfect together by contrasting and adding one to another. The several areas providing each a different mood. You can go from a somewhat classical restaurant to a pub, over the sports corner to the bistro like seats. Most impressive is the sort of vault in the far back. Here you find a great place with some tables for parties and events. Just take a look at the wooden tables and the chairs. Look down to the ground an how it was built and the look up — windows in the ceiling have been included while the place was under construction.

The challenge starts, when it comes about choosing your beer. The guys have 50 different sorts on tap. So, I put it to the test. I asked, one after the other for each round, three different people from the staff for a recommendation. All three asked first what taste I‘d like to experience and after that they told me their advise. I followed and was happy all three times. The people here do clearly know what they‘re talking about when it comes to the stuff they‘re serving. And, rumor has it, in the future you will be able to get small tasting-sips of different sorts of beer first to figure out what‘s yours before you order the big one. Also the food was amazing. With my first approach I tried some sandwich „only“, but it was great. Warm bread, soft and tasty veal inside, accompanied with fries (hot, crispy, tasty) and a homemade dip.

Thanks to all who worked on it for creating such an amazing place in Lisbon from the scratch. (Actually, it hasn‘t been from scratch but out off a mess which the place was before).

Will...

Bad experience in this night bar: We ordered 3 dry Martinis, expecting normal Martini, unfortunately there is on the menu, dry martini ( which is an awful 11 euros gin based cocktail) and a martini dry which is the actual 5 euros normal martini. The waiters bring us those cocktails and we noticed clearly it was not what we expected. After a bit of discussion the manager kindly aggreed to remove those cocktails and admited this I confusing, but on the new bills only one cocktails were removed, an other misunderstanding on which we can add the access to the billard, when we asked informations about it, this same waiter clearly tell us there is no list and we can access as soon as the people finish their game, spoilers alert: there is a list and 3 take were waiting their turns. The waiters claimed that they don’t control the list. And a personal note for the small guy crossing his arms, giving a bad look trying to intimidate after all those trouble when we finally left: you are too little to get...

The ambient was really nice, but the staff (unfortunately) was terrible, when we arrived a blonde chic with short hair at the bar was rude when we asked about ordering at the balcony instead of waiting at the table.

I spent 25 minutes waiting outside for somebody to come and take our order and nobody came, I asked in the balcony for somebody to come and they arrived 20 minutes later after I storm and demand somebody or else I would leave without pay.

After this extreme measure we were able to ask for two bears, the place wasn’t even full.

Look I worked as a waiter and i understand how difficult can get, but the performance was so poor.

Don’t know if the place was understaffed but it was bad.

The only positive part was the Brazilian boy, he saw the poor service that the team were delivering and took ownership...
