Here our review of Clubs and Nightlife in Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon’s thriving nocturnal party scene, with famous destinations like Lux and Kapital as well as smaller more intimate pubs and discos spread throughout the city, makes this European capital a playground for night owls. Keep in mind – drinks are cheap, music is everywhere, and many doors don’t close until morning.
Op Art
This small glass box at the Doca de Santo Amaro seems quite harmless by day, but like Cinderella it transforms into club when the clock strikes midnight. In the summer, the glass walls disappear and the dancefloor extends to the River Tejo.
Doca de Santo Amaro, 6
Open Tuesday to Thursday and Sun 13h - 02h / Friday and Saturday 13h - 06h

Lux
Lisbon’s answer to the best of European night clubs. Former warehouse on the river with two levels of dance floors and an open air terrace. Resident DJ’s and big international names lay down an eclectic mix of music.
If you arrive after 02h do not be overly drunk, in large groups of guys, or aggressive with door men. It rarely ends well.
Av. Infante D. Henrique, Cais da Pedra
Santa Apolónia
Open Tuesday to Saturday 23h - 06h

Europa
In what was once considered one of the "doggiest" neighbourhoods in the city sits Lisbon’s late late-night spot (afterhours parties starting at 06h). Hip and always fun.
And the neighbourhood (Cais do Sodré) has undergone a recent facelift, in a decidedly successful attempt to tranform the area into a popular and thriving night spot.
Rua Nova do Carvalho, 18
Cais do Sodré
Open Tuesday to Saturday 23h - 04h and 06h - 10h
Mussulo
Lisbon’s best African dance Club. Drawing a diverse crowd, this club’s DJ’s spin Lusophone Zouk and Luandan Kududuro. Best night is Saturday. Come dressed to impress, i.e. no sneakers/trainers.
Rua Sousa Martins, 5D
Picoas
Open Monday, & Wednesday - Saturday 23h - 06h

Club Ferroviário
Near the magnetically fashionable club Lux, you can find this new, terrace-flaunting, DJ hosting venue with two bars that – unlike many clubs in Lisbon – open early before staying open late. And theme parties every Sunday with concerts, DJs, film exhibitions, and/or brunch provided by the locally beloved and contemporary Café Magnolia, make this place more than your average club.
A great destination for pre-party cocktails, delicious tapas, and special events.
Rua de Santa Apolónia, 59
Open Monday to Wednesday 16h - 24h / Thursday and Friday 16h - 02h / Saturday 12h - 02h / Sunday 12h - 24h

Belém Bar Café
Fashionable place where people go to see and be seen. Not a casual place, so put on your best bespokes and your cool face. Music is commercial house, R&B, and Hip Hop.
Avenida de Brasília
Pavihão Poente, Belém
Open Tuesday to Wednesday 20h - 02h / Thursday 20h - 03h / Friday to Saturday 20h - 05h
