Maria Caxuxa

A bar on Rua da Barroca in Bairro Alto, one of Lisbon's main nightlife streets, drawing a mixed crowd of locals and visitors. The space is small and gets packed as the night progresses, with the kind of easy sociability that comes from a room where everyone is standing close together. Bairro Alto works well for bar-hopping and Maria Caxuxa fits naturally into that rhythm, functioning as a stop along the way or a place to settle in for the evening.
