In Bairro Alto (another district) you will find a very eccletic and buzying ambience with different kinds of bars and all kinds of people, if that is your thing.
I've also had some excellent food in Bairro Alto. Great place to have dinner and a few drinks one evening. If I recall, I had an excellent meal at Bistro 100 Maneiras.

Not sure if you consider that "touristy" or not, but I enjoyed it!
