About the Vibe
Black Sheep is the kind of tiny wine bar you stumble into and immediately want to keep to yourself. Owners Brian and Jennifer (now run by Lucas Ferreira and Bruna Ventura) have built a fiercely curated selection of low-intervention Portuguese wines from small producers, plus thoughtful cocktails like the standout Hibiscus Rum Punch. With barely room for a dozen people, soft lighting, and zero pretension, it's the spot in Misericórdia for a genuine, conversation-fueled wine night.
Why it's worth it
A dozen-person wine bar where passionate owners pour carefully chosen natural Portuguese wines and a killer Hibiscus Rum Punch—no pretension, all conversation.

Before you go
Go early in the evening—there's only room for about a dozen people, so you'll likely wait if you arrive after 9pm.

Tiny space, big on wine
Black Sheep is the kind of place that feels like a secret you're not supposed to know about. It's tiny—like, you'll be elbow-to-elbow with other patrons tiny—but that's part of the charm. The owners clearly know their stuff when it comes to Portuguese wines, and they've built a selection that focuses on small producers and natural wines. You won't find a huge list here, but what they do have is carefully chosen and worth exploring.
The cocktails are equally thoughtful. The Hibiscus Rum Punch is a standout—refreshing, complex, and not too sweet. The space itself is warm and inviting, with soft lighting and a layout that encourages conversation. It's not the loudest or flashiest spot in Lisbon, but if you're looking for a genuine wine experience without the pretension, this is it. Just be prepared to wait if it's busy, because there's no seating for more than a handful of people.
For a neighborhood that's still finding its footing, Black Sheep feels like a breath of fresh air. It's the kind of place you'll want to return to, maybe with a different bottle each time, just to see what else they've got in store.
