The best time to go out to the bars in the Bairro Alto
quarter – where it is pleasantly difficult to say which bar is gay or gay-friendly
or ›hetero-friendly‹ or whatever – is between 23:00 and 02:00.
The bars in the Príncipe Real
area tend to be more late-night and more exclusively gay.
Official opening hours should not be taken too seriously. On quiet days some bars
might close earlier or don't open at all without any further notice.
Small gay cocktail bar at the so-called esquina (corner) in the Bairro Alto quarter, where at night the whole street is crowded with people, with its share of gay people especially on weekends between 24:00 and 02:00.
Big gay bar for bears, chubbies, mature guys and friends.
Usually very busy on Friday and Saturday night and well visited on most other days.
In good weather with popular street terrace.
