When we decided to open a bar in Lisbon with the best hookah in town (your Google reviews say we’re on the right track!), our goal was simple: to create the kind of place we’d love to hang out in ourselves. That’s why we treat every little detail like a piece of art.
We use only premium tobacco and perfectly shaped bowls. Every signature cocktail is a carefully crafted creation — and the same goes for our dishes, made with precision, passion, and lots of love.
And, of course, there’s the space itself. The interior, vibe, and stage are all part of the experience.
It’s a place where the art of the bar and hookah meets live music, painting, sculpture, and creativity in all its forms
An Interior Created by Artists & The Gallery
We invited artists and decorators to transform our space into an actual work of art.
One of the highlights is a panel by Dasha Sumtatto, madeof golden lines that symbolize infinity and eternal movement — or maybe the graceful swirls of hookah smoke. Aleks Honcharov added his touch to the walls and sculptures, and Mr. Garpear created a mural on the bar’s door.
But no snobbery here! Just look at how classical art in our bar is mixed with street art elements — bold, playful, and full of humor.
Art You Can Try
Hookah With roots in Asia and North Africa — and modern twists from Eastern Europe — hookah has developed its own rich traditions. We use only premium tobacco, handpicked bowls, and a curated menu of flavors. Looking for something special? Try our signature hookahs, served in fruit bowls — perfect for those craving something truly unique.
Signature Cocktails A perfect cocktail isn’t just a tasty drink — it’s a form of art. Each signature cocktail was crafted exclusively for Cultura — you won’t find them anywhere else. We’ve reimagined the classics with a refined, original twist.
A Fusion of Traditions Our kitchen is a harmonious mix of European and Asian culinary traditions. Our chef has reimagined each dish to bring something fresh and personal. These aren’t just recipes — they’re the result of a thoughtful search for the perfect expression of every flavor.
Art on the Stage: Live Music & More
From the very beginning, we knew Cultura needed a stage — a space not just to perform, but to express, to connect, to feel. We welcomed hundreds of performances: from soulful jazz and smooth blues to fado, indie, folk, pop, and electronic sounds.
But Cultura isn’t just about music. The stage has come alive with stand-up comedy, tango nights, illusionist acts and meetups.
Today, Cultura is more than a bar — it’s a home for emerging artists, a place where first gigs happen, where voices find their rhythm, and where the audience becomes part of the art.

Sanaea Bubber’s art is a seamless blend of music and comedy, moving fluidly between moments that leave you laughing and others that bring you to tears. Her sound draws from jazz, funk, and soul, spiced up with a touch of Bollywood masala.
Singer Teresa Franco and seven-string guitarist Rocho invite you on a musical journey through Jazz, Fado, and Popular Music. They will perform popular hits — from English-language songs by Billie Eilish to the Italian classic “Bésame Mucho” — and show that Fado can be not only melancholic, but also joyful.
The trio Fioré will perform melodies from Tchaikovsky’s most magical ballet — The Nutcracker. These timeless pieces, performed on viola, violin, and piano, capture the true spirit of Christmas.
Entry is allowed only for guests over 18. We serve hookah, and in Portugal it’s not recommended for minors to be inside such venues, even with adults.
No minimum spend applies, except on Fridays and Saturdays between 19:00 and 22:00. During that time, a minimum consumption of €30 per person applies (cocktails, wine, coffee, tea, hookah, salads, and more).
No, hookah is available in all areas of the bar.
