Nightlife in Lisbon
Sabotage Club
Are you ready to rock? Because that is all they do in this club. You can catch a show every Thursday and Saturday and see a Portuguese band rocking on the stage with original music. There are all sorts of musicians here, from indie pop to psych-rock. If you are the type who loves the electric guitar, this place will be for you!
Location- Rua de São Paulo, 16
Lux
This is the most famous club in the country. For more than 20 years the club has been playing incredible electronic music. After you have partied all night long, you can go up to the rooftop for a beautiful sunrise. If you want to get in, you must be dressed for the occasion, and wait patiently on the que.
Location- Av Inf D Henrique, Armz A
Monkey Mash
A wonderful modern tropical cocktail bar, where every cocktail has Tequila and cachaça, and other surprises. Here you cannot really call the bartenders mixologists, but rather alcohol alchemists. Here they use exotic spirits, and always open to experimenting.
Location- Praça Alegria, 66 A
Pavilhão Chinês
This bar is also a museum with a very interesting collection of army helmets from World War 1 and other things. Here you get a feeling that you went through time, back to the past, with tie wearing waiters and a vintage snooker table. The bar is separated into five different rooms where you can see the various items in the owner’s collection.
Location- R D Pedro V, 89
Lounge
Young vibes are at this bar with DJs playing their underground mix of electronic and minimal techno music. Often you will find here large musical events and they will have an occasional theme party. Just be aware that over the weekend the bar is completely full, therefore ordering a drink can be challenging.
Location- R da Moeda, 1
Cinco Lounge
Lisbon’s first real cocktail bar is a great place to find yourself having a drink with interesting people from the city. The bar opens quite late (9 pm), since the regular customers are people who usually finish their day at the office later than most.
Location- R Ruben A. Leitão, 17A
