Bodega Chafa
A small, vibrant mezcalería offering artisanal mezcal, craft cocktails, and tacos in the heart of Lisbon.
Bodega Chafa is Lisbon's first mezcaleria, due to open in April 2025.
Part boutique mezcaleria, part taco shop, part bottle shop, Bodega Chafa aims to become Lisbon’s hub for mezcal, tequila, and agave spirits while offering one of the most unique experiences in the city.
Entering the small bar, customers will find a low-lit cozy atmosphere with a record player in the corner spinning 90s hiphop, oldTVs looping random vignettes; while the bartender pours an assortment of signature mezcal and tequila cocktails, mezcal tastings, and a chef serves al pastor tacos from the trompo.
Lining the walls to the ceiling are shelves full of mezcal and tequila bottles(80+ unique products), each available for customers to purchase and take home for their personal bar, or open and leave in the private stash exclusive for mezcal club members.
Customers can eat and drink inside at the 12 bar seats that span from the bar, across the front of the open kitchen, and along the opposite side wall, or they can move outside to several standing bar tops found on the face of the building.
The atmosphere (mimicking the brand ethos) will be a modern take on the mezcaleria, inviting customers into a blend of an Oaxacan bar, Mexico City taco shop and a Brooklyn nook. The space design is simple, leveraging the distressed condition of the space to bring the vibe to life. During the day the space is drenched in natural light, while at night the light seeps from behind the bottles or flickers from the candles.
Overall the space, and brand, is a place with high-quality food and drink that is playful, energetic, and doesn't take itself too seriously. It combines the best of what everyone loves; good mezcal, good music, and amazing ambiance.
