About Capoeira Lounge

The cocktail list is the reason to come — most bars in this tier mix with fresh island fruit and local rum, and the bartenders tend to know their classics. Weekend nights get busy; weekday evenings are calmer and the drinks come faster.
What to know before you go
- Contactless is standard now, even at the older tasca-style spots.
- Closes around midnight on weekdays, later on weekends.
- Outdoor seating fills first; arrive before 21:30 in summer for the best chance at a terrace table.
