About Pensão Amor
A 4.4 across more than 6,000 Google reviews is a lot of consensus for a bar this theatrical, and it tells you the burlesque framing lands as charm rather than gimmick. Doors open at noon every day on Rua do Alecrim, which makes it as workable for an afternoon drink as for the small hours — 3am most nights, 4am Thursday through Saturday, which is also when the rooms fill and the dancing starts in earnest. The soundtrack moves between lounge and chilled house, Latin and jazz, suited to a room where people talk as much as they move. Prices sit in the mid band, so a night here won't run away from you, and smart casual covers it, though the setting rewards a little effort. The crowd skews visitors in their late twenties to forties, heavy on South American and Western European accents, year-round.
