Frommer's Review
At the eastern edge of the Bairro Alto, this bar and dance club combines aspects of an English pub with the futuristic trappings of a gay club. It's marked by a discreet brass plaque on a steeply sloping street lined with 18th-century villas. The young crowd sometimes remains after the "official" 2am closing for all-male porn flicks. Beer prices start at 2€ ($2.60); whiskey and soda goes for 3.50€ ($4.55) or more. We recommend that you take a taxi here because public transport in this neighborhood is difficult at night. A medieval folk tale inspired the name (Water in the Beak). If you're curious, ask one of the handsome bartenders to recite the original story. It's open Monday to Saturday 9pm to 2am.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
