CLOSED: One visit to Alfama and Portuguese drink favorites like Goa, Chiado, and Funchal will soon become a part of your drinking lexicon. Alfama boasts a lively vibe that supplies an unlikely alternative cultural discovery into the world of Portuguese cuisine and drinks. This place is subtle for an after-work pit stop or a long Wednesday evening when you can experience the traditional Fado music. The bar houses some very distinctive fruit-infused specialty cocktails and an amazing 100-plus wine list from some of the best wine-producing regions in Portugal. Combine this with the largest Port and Madeira selection in New York City and you'll be releasing your un-tapped European in no time. Open Mon.-Thu. 6-11pm, Fri. 6pm-midnight, Sat. noon-3pm and 6pm-midnight, Sun. noon-3pm and 5-11pm.
