Fun and entertainment Cascais

Opposite the Cidadela, here's a beautiful space with a pinkish façade that presents temporary exhibitions in its gallery, as well as a number of cultural events and shows (concerts and others). Housed in the former convent of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, it was renovated by architect Jorge Silva. It is part of the "bairro dos museus" network, along with other sites such as the citadel and the citadel palace. Take advantage of its cafeteria and terrace.

Beer lovers will be delighted, Cascais now has its own beer bar where you can watch all the soccer matches but also participate in karaoke nights. Of course, when we hear crafty, we think of craft beers and this is the case here. You will be able to taste local beers (there are quite a few now) but there are also some international brands, if you don't want to take any risk. You can accompany your drink with some tapas like chicken wings: the perfect combo for a successful evening.

Located in the city centre, this glass mezzanine club offers an interesting agenda of jazz, blues and other evenings. This is the visible part of the Jam Session Associação Cultural association (non-profit), so you must become a member of the association to be able to enjoy the concerts. However, the entrance fee is not very expensive. There are 2 or 3 sessions per evening. The atmosphere is intimate and warm. On the other hand, it is an association and there is no real bar strictly speaking, so the choice of drinks is a little limited.

The little brother of the bar of the same name in Lisbon, this bar offers natural wines, i.e. with no additives added during vinification. It's a lovely, bright space on a cobbled street. The wine list changes every two weeks, and you can drink by the glass or by the bottle. To accompany your choice of drink, try the tapas and dishes, such as grilled peppers and sandwiches with the famous pastrami, made by chef Iliya. It opened in summer 2023 and is the first bar in Cascais to feature natural wines.

Nestled inside the same space as the famous Gleba bakery, it may be difficult to choose between the two. That said, if you want to eat in, then Milkees is your only option. A wide choice of coffee-based beverages, as that's its specialty. What's more, she works with local roasters like Roastberry. Good pastries (and not just cookies) and lunch options like soup, tostas, etc. What better way to grab a coffee to go before exploring the city?
