If you’re looking for nightspots where you can eat, drink and listen to live music, Lisbon has some of the best places for all this.
Full of bars and restaurants offering all kinds of experiences, there are also places in the capital where you can have good food, drink and, of course, live music, from Jazz to Rock, Fado to MPB… in short, almost every style of music, to please Greeks and Trojans alike.
In these places in Lisbon you’ll find a very relaxed atmosphere, perfect both for dates as a couple and for great nights out with friends.
Hard Rock Café Lisbon
If you’re more into rock, soul, funk, disco and even rap, perhaps your choice is closer to Rossio , more precisely in Restauradores, on Avenida da Liberdade.
Established in Lisbon since 2003, the Hard Rock Café focuses on a more American style of food, where the hamburger is king.
Address: Avenida da Liberdade 2 (Restauradores)
Távola Jazz Club
Located in the Alvalade neighborhood, the Távola Jazz Club is one of the most incredible venues where you can listen to the best jazz musicians in Lisbon.
The decor retains the charm of yesteryear, but the music has been completely renovated to focus on this genre, with live performances from Tuesday to Saturday.
Best of all, you can accompany these evenings with great cocktails and snacks, making the Távola Jazz Club an ideal place to enjoy good music and good food.
Address: Rua Coronel Bento Roma 16 (Alvalade)
Café Alface Hall
It started out as a hostel – and still maintains this service – but one of its biggest highlights is the live music nights, making it the ideal place to enjoy a quick meal while enjoying live Blues and Jazz shows.
Address: Rua do Norte 96 (Bairro Alto)
Templários Bar
Next to Avenida de Roma, this is one of Lisbon’s most popular live music bars, located just off Avenida de Roma at Rua Flores do Lima 8.
It offers a cozy atmosphere and a variety of music for all tastes, from Tuesday to Saturday, ranging from sophisticated female vocalists to electronic music and rock bands.
Address: Rua Flores do Lima 8
Damas Bar
In Graça, it’s a restaurant, it’s a bar, it’s a concert hall, it’s counter-culture and it’s special, a unique place where there are no limits to the cultural offer and all artistic forms are welcome.
It’s the ideal place for dancing, but also for just having a drink and catching up, either inside or on the outdoor promenade that welcomes so many groups of friends every day.
The restaurant serves meals and snacks during the day, with a varied menu full of creative touches. Dine, have a drink, dance and don’t forget the motto: “there are no dramas at Damas”.
Address: Rua da Voz do Operário 60 (Graça)
Má Língua
More than just a restaurant or a bar, Má Língua is a space for promoting the arts, with exhibitions, performances, concerts, DJ sets and film cycles being part of the regular program of what is undoubtedly one of the cultural centers of the Graça district.
It also offers mouth-watering snacks and meals, with various vegetarian options and a clear focus on healthy food. There’s also a generous wine cellar, or this wouldn’t be the ideal place to have a drink and relax with friends.
Address: Rua da Senhora do Monte 1C (Graça)
