The actual tour of the museum was an easy 10/10 recommendation! €15 a head for a history of beer tour, very friendly staff, and 3 bottles of absolutely delicious local beer, is insanely good value and well worth it

We traveled to Lisbon over Christmas and we went at the beer museum where we sat for dinner. The first mistake in the service was that they brought the cutlery before the dishes and placed them directly on the table, which was not clean. Food bad, the fries that came with the burnt burger were also burnt, the caesar salad unacceptable, the staff indifferent as if they were bored. Only the beer was good and the codfish croquettes. The roadside eateries were much better tended. The prices too expensive for the quality.

Beer was good but expensive, I do get that it would be for the location. So, we also wanted to eat and ordered Bife Wellington. We were advised by the waiter that it can't be ordered well-done which to me is a no-go in any case. Assuming that the meat would be of good quality we ordered one medium and one medium-rare. To our disappointment the meat was of very poor quality, almost impossible to eat. We did complain but apart from saying we are sorry no other action. One of or team ordered tuna and that was good. Price quality ratio in general poor, I don't recommend, one pays only for the location of the restaurant.

The food = BAD, do not eat here. The beer = GOOD! We ordered the Amber and Blonde beers which were the Museums own, both very good and delicious. In other hand, I had the Ceasar Salad (plain bad, and for some reason they put cold cuts of grey, unwelcoming meat and hard boiked eggs here) and my husband had the Soup and Codfish Cake. The staff were friendly and spoke good English. Can not recommend the place as a place to eat, but for drinks only this place would be amazing.

We visited this museum and thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience. Very well laid out and the staff were very friendly. Had a couple of refreshing beers afterwards

We stopped here on a very hot day in Lisbon. A very busy and popular spot, live football on a large screen (they were showing Liverpool v Bournemouth surprisingly) We had drinks and then decided to try the local delicacy of the cod fish cake. Wonderful tasty snack, a fish cake with cheese sauce oozing out. Sounds very unhealthy and probably is, but it tastes good. Friendly staff, plenty of seating inside and out (we sat outside). Inside you will find a large cool building where you can presumably explore the history of beer (we didn't).

Food and drink was good but service was slow, inattentive and receptionist was downright miserable, and not all food arrived which didn’t even illicit an apology

Nice spot and just stopped for beers. Never been to a bar with such miserable staff. Here in Lisbon for a few days. Would not consider going back here. If you can’t smile or even appear interested I digest you work somewhere else.

This location is very nice inside and at first I was excited to have dinner here. However the waitress started out very curt and rude. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt due to possible language barriers. The last straw was when I asked about the tins of sardines on display and she rudely snapped that they were "different types of fish" and sarcastically asked if I wanted dessert or coffee for the 2nd or 3rd time when I already said no. If the wait staff isn't prepared to answer questions about products on display for sale, then why are the products out? I said no I was good and didn't need dessert and she never returned. Different wait staff brought my bill and I heard one of them say "American" in a negative tone as he came over. I guess asking questions is taboo in this restaurant. I've never been snubbed by a waitress before for asking a question about a product for sale. I wanted a souvenir for my dad who is over 80, but I guess that was unreasonable to try to buy an item that was on display for sale, the price list was visible....
Amazing food went back few nights for dinner , staff where amazing our waiter Jorge was so friendly and looked after us so well,

Great location, looks really nice. Interior is very interesting, but service not great. No smiles not much of a welcome. Ordered two beers and two fish cakes. Fisk cakes were pleasant, beer also tasted nice, in a very nice looking glass, but husbands came with a full on lipstick mark on the rim, it put us off a bit. I was surprised they weren’t more apologetic, just a kind of shrug and an “oh” they did get him another, but you kind of think oh how clean is it?? I wouldn’t go back, it feels as though they get so many people with in with passing trade they don’t care as there are plenty more to fill your space.

We had lunch and did the beer museum tour. The codfish croquettes were delicious and we had a tasty tuna sandwich. The beer museum tour was interesting and came with a great selection of microbrews to choose from. It was quite short but only 7.50 so worth it. The tour guide was interesting and knowledgeable.

I am a craft been aficionado and, when I travel, I seek out look microbrews. I was excited when I encountered the Lisbon Beer Museum but, in the end, more than a little disappointed. They only had three beers on draught and none of them looked very exciting. They did have a wide selection of Portuguese microbrews -- more than I thought could exist -- in bottles I tried a couple of bottles of IPA. Both were good, but a little short of international standards. I had a cheese and meat platter while I sampled the beers. The cheeses were really uninspired; one seemed to be a mass-market orange cheddar that is available from every supermarket. The server spoke only rather poor English. On the other hand, the beers here contrasted nicely with the insipid lagers available at most places in Iberia.

The beer museum is well worth making the time to visit. Able to hear what was said all the time while the host was giving an an in-depth description of the whole process and explaining why beers taste so different. This was followed by lunch which I would also recommend.
