Rua de S. Paulo 130, 1200-429 Lisboa, PortugalAs you go along the streets of Cais do Sodré and see the (sometimes overwelming) crowd of people, keep in mind that this neighbourhood has a long history of nightlife activity! In older days, people from around the world would arrive at the nearby quay, merchant ships, travellers and other sailors, and then enjoy what the red-light district had to offer. Traces of this connexion with sailors, their legends, and the gathering of foreigners can still be found in some of the best bars around!

R. Bernardino Costa 35, 1200-130 Lisboa, PortugalRemember that some of the best spots are not always in plain sight! Don't be shy to go about the area, away from the more popular center of nightlife, because you will always find new places worth stopping by. Fans of live music in particular, have plenty of options for the most varied tastes. You can find spots for a rock concert, burlesque shows in a cabaret-like setting, or let yourself free to the sound of african dance music!
Here you have it, another selection of fantastic bars to check out on your nighttime trip around the Lisboa center! I only have one more suggestion for you, and that is to pass by these spots during the day too, and not just the night. Take a stroll around Cais do Sodré to see what else its streets have to offer besides entertainment. You may be surprised!
