| Lisbon Liquors |
A mere 20 minutes from Manhattan, nestled in the increasingly thriving Ironbound District of Newark, NJ, Lisbon Liquors is a must patronize for fans of Portuguese Wines. Pop out onto Ferry St. and you are immediately enticed by the aromas of the many Portuguese and Brazilian restaurants. In a few short blocks with the smell of roasting pork and charred octupus in the air, you pass offers for "o melhor Leitão a Bairrada" or the best Bairrada style suckling pig, traditional bakeries, gift shops chock full of fine Portuguese ceramics and pottery, and the offices of the Luso-Americano newspaper. The elongated vowels of Portuguese tumble out of cars and greet you at counters...this is "Little Portugal"

Lisbon Liquors has been serving the Portuguese community in the Ironbound for over 40 years. The shop was renovated and enlarged in 2008. There is no "Portuguese Section" here, but an entire wall of Portuguese wine...with more space dedicated to each region of Portugal than most retailers allot for all of Portugal and Spain put together.

They host many Portuguese winemakers and importers for in-store tastings. I will be posting upcoming events here on our Tastings page, and you can sign up for their e-mail newsletter on their website.
