  1. A

    Kapital

    Being young, gorgeous and loaded helps you to get the nod from the picky doormen at Kapital. It’s the super-slick haunt of 20- to 30-something Lisboetas out spending daddy’s pension on cocktails in the VIP lounge. The too-cool crowd defrosts in the madrugada (wee hours) grooving to ’80s and garage tunes.

    Clandestino

    Keep your eyes peeled for this well-hidden, old-skool Bairro Alto den. Battered and lovable, its walls are smothered in scribblings of the ‘X luvs Y 4ever’ and ‘hasta la victoria siempre’ variety. The playlist: Pearl Jam, Manu Chao, The Ramones…

    Blues Café

    Decked out with gold, red velvet, dark wood and tassel lamps, this high-ceilinged warehouse fuses 1920s glamour with industrial cool. Music skips from lounge to house and dance, with the party mood picking up after 1am. The dockside terrace is perfect for chilling.

    Dock’s Club

    Blues Café’s sibling rival, Dock’s is another people-packed place, with mirrors, glitterballs, pop hits and dudes looking to score. Tuesday is ladies’ night.

  5. Coconuts

    Young, touchy-feely, dressed-up and nutty at times, this ever-popular club has DJs heating up two dance floor, seven bars and an esplanade by the sea.
