Lisbon Nightlife Guide
Lisbon has been traditionally associated with love, and many of the visitors
find that they cannot help but to fall in love with this ancient but welcoming
city and its relaxed mood. In the midst of the traffic jams common during the
weekends and increasingly during the weekdays as well, it is soon very clear to
visitors that young and moneyed professionals in Lisbon take their night life
seriously. For years, the Bairro Alto has been the epicenter of Lisbon’s
nocturnal activities, with the Fado clubs as well as canteen-bar style cafes and
discos. Bars are open up to 04:00. But these days the Dokas has somewhat taken
over from Bairro Alto to become the heartland of Portuguese capital nightlife.
The Dokas is situated just to the East of Ponte 25 de Abril. The bars in Dokas (Portuguese
for docks) occupy several rows of converted warehouses near Doka de Santo Amaro.
Rua da Atalaia is a lively street caters for several interests, and Divino is a
good place for wine lovers and occasionally a live band performs there.
There are a number of clubs around Doca de Alcantara, including Queens which is
a magnet for all types of young people. Others that are worth giving a try
include oddly named Kremlin (reference to Russian power centre hardly inspires a
fun-feeling to many these days) as well as Kapital.
Stanley Ho, the Chinese equivalent of Steve Wynn, has invested heavily in Lisbon
casino industry. Through a company called Estoril-Sol, he has the majority share
holding in a massive casino called Casino Lisboa, which opened its doors to
patrons in 2006.
Escort services in Lisbon are just a call away. A variety of services are
offered including the traditional striptease, topless dancers and female escorts.
There are several escort websites for entertainment in Lisbon, take a look at
our Lisbon escorts guide. Most of
the entertainers offer complete discretion for the discerning patrons.
One thing that is certain in all these are that sunset in Lisbon does not by any
means the end of the day. That especially holds very true on the weekends and
nights in summer. In fact most of the bars are usually closed during the day and
save their best for the night. Evenings typically may start with meeting in a
café in Chiado, followed by a sumptuous dinner in Biarro Alto. The best of all
is ending your night at, depending on ones occupation, starting the day dancing
to the music or enjoying cocktail in some of the famed clubs around Biarro Alto.
And if you have some spare cash to spend, Lux a club partly owned by John
Malkovich would be a fitting way to end the night.
