Doca de Alcântara & Doca de Santo Amaro
The dockside duo of Doca de Alcântara and Doca de Santo Amaro harbour wall-to-wall
bars with a preclubbing vibe. Many occupy revamped warehouses, with terraces facing
the river and the lit-up Ponte 25 de Abril. Most people taxi here, but you can take the train
from Cais do Sodré to Alcântara Mar or catch tram 15 from Praça da Figueira.

OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
(Doca de Santo Amaro; 1pm-2am Sun-Thu, to 6am Fri & Sat) Located on the water's edge this
slightly hidden glass-and-wood cafe attracts a more laid-back bunch than other Docas
bars. On Saturday nights the DJs spin house and lounge until dawn.
CAFE, BAR
Belém Bar Café
(Av Brasília, Pavilhão Poente; midnight-6am Fri & Sat) The self-consciously cool BBC attracts a
well-moneyed crowd to its glass-walled lounge bar and terrace with views of Ponte 25 de
Abril. DJs fill the dance floor with hip hop and electronica on weekend nights. There's a
pricey restaurant attached.
LOUNGE
Entertainment
Lisbon entertains with high culture, experimental art and everything in between. One
minute it's sumptuous strings and street theatre in Chiado, the next it's the melancholic
soul of fado in Alfama's atmospheric lanes.
