This was an amazing cocktail bar! The drinks were so affordable for the quality - the bartender spent a lot of time making each drink with love and explained all the ingredients as well. We went here before the fireworks on New Year’s Eve and it was a lovely stop right in the heart of the city! Easily better that 99% of drinks that cost double in New York City!

Came here multiple times on our trip to São Miguel. The staff are lovely and the cocktails are incredible. Great atmosphere. My cocktail came with a tiny tray of popcorn 🤍
We came to visit here twice on our one week stay. Hermano was amazing. We’re big cocktail drinkers and frequent a place near us and to have that welcoming feeling with an owner / bartender was amazing. He made conversation, the drinks and atmosphere were amazing. We told him what our flavour pallet is like and asked him to go off and feel free to get creative, and boy that didn’t disappoint. He would come and ask if we be had this. Or tried that. Have a profile for what it was and everything was fantastic. We met some great people on our last night there before flying home.
If you’re into a great at atmosphere and even better cocktails, you definitely need to hit this place up at least once during your stay.

I happened to come across the bar unexpectedly. It's a small space, but it exudes a lot of charm. The two owners and bartenders are exceptionally friendly and skilled. You should definitely try their unique cocktail creations. It's a perfect spot to relax and spend your evening.

Best bar in PDL, it's a family business. The owner and his wife take the trade with pride and professionalism. They had worked in London and other major European cities. Everything from an espresso martini to a last world was perfect. And you can still have a nice chat about things to do around and some history of the island.

Just the best experience. We went for nice cocktails to celebrate our engagement - the drinks were absolutely incredible, the bar is beautiful, the music is great and Philippa, the manager, is amazing. She brought us fizz to celebrate which was so kind, and loved reminiscing about London with her. We’ll be back when we’re lucky enough to visit Sao Miguel again.

Résvés is not only my favorite places on sao Miguel island, but one of my favorite bars that I’ve been to. (And I live in New York City!)
Translated to mean just right, this hip cocktail bar encapsulates just that.
A clientele that mixes locals with travelers along with high quality cocktails in a dimly lit, minimalist atmosphere that promotes socializing amongst groups, this place truly is just right. My friends and I went here every single night of our trip. The owners Filippa and Hermano are two of the kindest people. With Hermano mixing drinks and Filippa walking around, the two make sure they meet and greet every person who comes in.
Aside from a 10/10 atmosphere, the drinks are amazing! I tried every cocktail (I recommend the pepparol and the drunken bee) and can confirm that they are all delicious!
Resves is a non-pretentious, unassuming, hip enclave filled with locals and tourists all alike bonding over the love of great cocktails. You are encouraged to go and talk to everyone around you while sipping on the highest grade cocktails, what could be wrong! Filippa and hermano truly have one of the highest dedications to hospitality that I’ve seen.
Résvés is a MUST VISIT for drinks if you find yourself on the island of Sao Miguel

Such a great experience. The cocktails are so carefully prepared, service is warm and kind and the value is beyond. Something you would expect somewhere in London or New York but with a much higher price tag!!
