Discover A Ginjinha, the open-fronted Rossio bar where Lisbon's cherry liqueur is a local ritual. Order a shot with or without a cherry and drink it on the street among fellow visitors.
Full description
A Ginjinha is a compact, historic bar in the Rossio area devoted to a single drink: ginjinha, the sour-cherry liqueur that Lisbon has made its own. Orders are quick and cheap, and you are asked whether you want the shot with or without a cherry inside.
Most people take their glass out onto the pavement and drink it standing, which creates the bar's sociable street scene. Reviewers describe it as a classic, unpretentious stop and enjoy comparing it with the neighbouring ginjinha shop.

Reviews
A famous place to try ginjinha - a cherry liquor. They asked if we want it with berries inside the shot or without, we payed with coins, stepped outside the tiny place and enjoyed the drink.
