Os Amigos da Severa

Often Fado and always cherry liqueur straightforwardly. No reservation, no minimum consumption. It just starts late.

The question about real Fado follows us a bit. An answer is difficult because everyone is looking for the authentic experience and mostly finds places that are musically authentic. But there’s just not a Portuguese person in the audience. You have to go to simple pubs, because that’s where Fado comes from. The Severa is one such place, even if there could already be seven hipsters here — more simply won’t fit. It’s small and a bit musty, the boss is the famous original and sings himself, the place is named after the first really famous Fadista. And if necessary, there are two other joints nearby on the same theme.
