The best clubs Lisbon

A little further past the Santa Apolonia station you will find this famous bar/club. With one of the most beautiful views in Lisbon, the establishment created in 1961 reopened in 2010 as a bar-restaurant with live music. Two independent spaces: a large terrace with an open-air bar and a concert and theater room. The stage allows to put forward new local artists of different universes: music, painting, art... More than an event space, it is also a very nice place of conviviality. See you there!

Carrying the pseudonym of a protest composer of the last century, native of Cape Verde, the B.Leza, friendly and smiling, fills us with lusophone rhythms, live or recorded, and a maximum of Africanities. Come and enjoy the orchestras on stage distilling mornas, coladeira, funaná, kuduro, kizomba... But also some Latin-American evenings and even a poetry night (on Sunday) and a monthly fado appointment. The heat increases proportionally to the crowd on the dance floor dancing to Brazilian, Angolan or Mozambican sounds...

To prolong the enchantment of the rooftops open during the day, next to Largo do Camões, a small sophisticated and modern club (only 20 m² ?), with a panoramic view of the beautiful Lisboa on the 7th floor. Sober and elegant colors, gold, black and copper, and a tapestry with a crocodile skin texture. As you can see, this is the kind of place that is "In" and very select (proper attire required). So if you're on your "31", you might be lucky enough to get in for a cocktail and some sushi.

The counterpoint of the Kremlin, another club in Lisbon... The Plateau Club is more rock (soft, pop and the classics) for lack of being the youngest, but it welcomes a friendly atmosphere (20-40 years), very 1980s. Considered before as the best club in town, its beautiful decoration manages to make it coquettish: Indian patterns, columns and velvet cushions. The multicolored lightings (sublime), the light show and all the tralala it is not bad either! Be careful though, it seems that it is not very LGBT friendly.

Located at the foot of Bairro Alto, it is an indie bar-discoteca with two distinct spaces on three half levels. One of the places everyone goes to after the bars close. Near the entrance, tables and sofas invite you to chat while at the bottom the track is reserved for those who like to dance! The decoration changes regularly, except for the famous and treacherous floor of the lowest level. The rock nights new wave, synth-pop and post-punk very 1980s and 1990s are already part of the club's history. Recommended for fans of the genre.

Behind the Mercado da Ribeira, this club-bar is a stopover not to be missed during the Lisbon night. A medium-sized room with a refined decoration and magical lantern-like lighting effects and a large welcoming square. Clientele of all ages, moderate prices and music mixed by rather well inspired DJs (house, break-beat, curiosities...). As for the Saturday atmosphere, it's a concert of noisy hands and dancing on the tables: the Lounge is one of the last places to close at night in the centre of Lisbon!

One of the historical places of the Lisbon night since 1971. It moved in 2022 to join the no less famous Titanic on Sea. Located in the famous pink street for decades, the club was closed for two years, like Tokyo and Europa. They will be back in the same place. The program should remain similar to the one before and you will find the DJ Brunio Dias. Gathering for thirty years old and well beyond, the good-natured space is deserved on Friday and Saturday, come early, around 1:30 am, to avoid an interminable line..

For more than 30 years, it has been a favorite of the city's gay community. Trumps presents regularly changing themed shows with live music and resident performer Vanessa. On two floors that are also hetero friendly, everyone dances in circles to the rhythms of house, disco, futile hits from the 1970s and 1980s and the inevitable gay anthems. With Finalemente, one of the most popular places in the community. The years go by and the club is always in vogue. Not to be missed.

Located inside the Mercado da Ribeira, the entrance is somewhat hidden. However, the place is well enough known today for us to know how to get there. We'll warn you right away: you've got to love the color red to venture inside. Most of the music played here is from the 2000s, and the club's clientele tends to be in their thirties and even forties. We deplore the security service at the entrance, which can be very unpleasant. It remains an option if you want to stay in the city center to finish the evening.

Behind the Casa da Morna, always linked to Angola as at the time when it was called Luanda or Soul Club, the place remains suitable for a hot evening in the sound of R'n'B and of the African rhythmic and sensual musics of the moment. Recommend to arrive late, rather than a first box.

A club well known by the Lisboetes who regularly organizes theme evenings. On weekends, it is one of the clubs where you can meet to finish the night, during the week you can listen to jazz with jam sessions but also dance the forro to experience a typical Brazilian dance... Located on the banks of the Tagus, it is very pleasant to be able to cool down on the quays between two dances (be careful not to fall into the water). Thanks to its eclectic programming, this club attracts all types of customers. Everyone is therefore welcome to attend.
