6. Cerveteca Lisboa

   Avenida de Paris 15B, 1000-227 Lisboa · Areeiro metro (green line)

   Lisbon's first specialist craft beer bar, opened in 2014 on Praça das Flores and now on the Avenida de Paris near Areeiro.

Getting there: start near Martim Moniz and work north. The whole route runs parallel to the Avenida Almirante Reis and the green metro line, so you can hop a stop or two at any point (Intendente, Anjos, Arroios, Alameda, Areeiro).

LisPoa to Flor de Lúpulo (about 1.4 km) and Pravda to Cerveteca (about 1.4 km) are the longest legs. Both are gentle uphill walks; Anjos to Arroios or Saldanha to Areeiro by metro cuts them out.

Six stops is a lot. Dropping Pravda or Queen Ale still leaves a good four-stop crawl.

Several of these bars run happy hours; this guide doesn't promote drinks offers.
