In-Depth Information
You can wander through rooms looking at strange and curious artwork, join the smokers
on the plant-filled back patio, or nurse drinks in quiet corners of this rambling old space.
Bands play on weekends (you can't miss the photogenic tiger that dominates the stage),
and you can also pop by in the day for snacks and coffee.
TOP OF CHAPTER
Alfama, Castelo, Graça & Santa Apolónia
Alfama and Graça are perfect for a relaxed drink with a view.
Lux
(
www.luxfragil.com
;
Avenida Infante Dom Henrique, Santo Apolónia; 10pm-6am Tue-Sat)
Lisbon's ice-cool,
must-see club, Lux is run by ex-Frágil maestro Marcel Reis and part-owned by John
Malkovich. Special but not snooty, Lux hosts big-name DJs spinning electro and house.
Grab a spot on the roof terrace to see the sun rise over the Tejo. Style policing is heart-
warmingly lax but get here after 4am on a Friday or Saturday and you might have trouble
getting in because of the crowds.
CLUB
Clube Ferroviário
(Rua de Santa Apolónia 59; 4pm-2am Mon-Sat)
Above Santa Apolónia train station, this former
social club of Lisbon's railworkers has been transformed into an intriguing nightspot with
DJs and occasional concerts; the best feature is the roof terrace with Tejo views.
CLUB
Bar das Imagens
(Calçada Marquês de Tancos 1; noon-midnight Tue-Sun)
With a terrace affording vertigo-inducing
views over the city, this tiny bar serves potent Cuba libres and other well-prepared cock-
tails.
BAR
Wine Bar do Castelo
( 218 879 093; Rua Bartolomeu de Gusmão 13; noon-10pm)
Located near the entrance to the
Castelo São Jorge, this laid-back wine bar serves more than 150 Portuguese wines by the
glass, along with gourmet smoked meats, cheeses, olives and other tasty accompaniments.
