Ba Wine Bairro Alto - Lisbon

Wow. 100% nailed it. Go here. Staff is amazing (Rui was very knowledgeable and very kind). Everyone was patient and welcoming. They were understaffed when we experienced the place but it didn't take anything away from our experience. I can't give a higher praise for the staff so now to the food and wine. Food was amazing. The chucuterie for 4 was all amazing and displayed very nicely. Rui also nailed it with our wine tastes and even if you have a tough time describing what you like in a wine he will get it out of you and assist you in everyway. The port taster was also very delicious. If in Lisbon again I will 100% go again.

I like this place. The concept is simple; take knowledgeable sommeliers, a big selection of wine and some wine friendly snacks and mix well. Super simple but really good. I like to take my wine drinker visitors from abroad here to give them an idea on what Portuguese wine is about and the sommeliers do a good job explaining the regions and flavour profiles.

O BA Wine bar é pequeno porém cheio de boas surpresas. Excelentes vinhos, todos vendidos por copo, e bons queijos ajudam o apaixonado proprietário à te fazer viajar pelas regiões vinícolas de Portugal com bastante propriedade. O preço é ligeiramente salgado para padrões Lisboetas

Incredible experience all around. If you're looking for a relaxed way to spend a few hours (seriously, our group of 4 spent 4 hours here the evening we went), while learning about Portuguese wines and enjoying local cheeses and meats, in a low key environment, this is the place to do it. Book a reservation a few weeks in advance, because they only do a few seating per night (only about 4 tables and only a few seatings per night, because you will spend at least 2 hours there if not longer). We booked a reservation via email in advance with a deposit, and were treated so kindly by the owners/staff. They have a small team just the one sommelier/wine expert/wine server, and a couple others who handle more of the food and service, which makes it a super warm and family like environment. Prices are super affordable, and you can choose from any regions or types of wine you like, and customize the experience to what you're in the mood for. Highly recommend ordering a cheese and sausage platter, bread and olive oils and jams, and make sure you try the black pig sausage! This is not a place to go for a full meal, but you can fill up pretty easily on the meats and cheeses with your wines. Everything is locally sourced and delicious!

Enólogo, sommelier, um provador até mas nunca (ou quem sabe até escanção. Regra básica para vir ao BA Wine Bar e deixar-se colocar à prova em hábeis mãos e gosto em variações que atravessam Portugal e as suas regiões vinícolas.<br/ <br/ Mas nem só de vinho se faz a prova que, melhor entre amigos se faz, múltiplos copos de castas e origens se bebe. Aqui há queijos, enchidos e toda uma escolha de genuínos produtos regionais que nem em lojas da especialidade se encontram.<br/ <br/ Tábuas mistas para dois, quatro ou a pedido especial, sempre com especial atenção.<br/ E em atenção vem o preço, porque se vive em modo capitalista e nem só dos desaires de Bacchus vive.<br/ <br/ Ao nos servirem canalizam a experiência à capacidade do nosso bolso, perguntando desde logo o quanto pagaríamos por um copo de vinho de qualidade.<br/ Eu não sou egoísta e sei que a qualidade tem o preço justo: 4€ com a moderação de quem foi servido como o apreciador que dá 5 estrelas a uma casa a voltar.
