Glow Bar Bairro Alto in Lisbon

Glow Bar is an incredibly low-key little spot in the middle of Bairro Alto in the center of Lisbon. Bairro Alto is known for its laid back nightlife and affordable party-scenes.

As you roam the streets, you鈥檒l find dozens of dive bars promising different drink specials and entertainment for the evening. Glow Bar is one of the better spots, always delivering a fun night out without burning a hole into your pocket.

Lisboa Bar in Lisbon

When locals want to drink cheap beer in their own city, they flock to Lisboa Bar. It鈥檚 situated in the northernmost part of the Chiado district; an area usually avoided by locals because of the over saturation of tourists.

Lisboa Bar one of the best kept local secrets. Everyone comes here for what they call 鈥渢he best sangria in town鈥. Those who want to drink beer, can do so just a few euros.

It鈥檚 a cozy and simple place, & you鈥檒l be welcomed in regardless of where you hail from in the world.

What鈥檚 great about Lisboa Bar is that they open up at 3pm each afternoon. Stopping by for a cold, cheap beer after a long day of walking the city center is what most people tend to do here.

By night, Lisboa Bar gets a bit more rowdy and festive. They don鈥檛 have a menu but they do have light bar snacks.

The Pint Station in Lisbon

The Pint Station takes Bairro Alto鈥檚 dive spots to a while new level. Beers here start at just 鈧1, and the price goes up as the size of the glass does.

All of the alcohol in The Pint Station is incredibly cheap. There鈥檚 not much to say with regards to entertainment, but because the bar opens at 8am daily, and then only closes at 4am, people come here to get obliterated on cheap beer and spirits.

The Pint Station has a light foods menu. Toasted sandwiches as well as a few local specials are available throughout the day.

The Pint Station is in the north of Bairro Alto, close to all of the cheaper fado performance venues. Consider including one of these experiences in your night out.

Museu da Cerveja in Lisbon

Like wine, beer has had a longstanding presence in Portugal. This is the Museum of Beer; a small exhibit space in which they showcase the history and role of beer in the country.

It鈥檚 an educational space that鈥檚 suitable for the whole family. Upon arrival, you鈥檒l be given a beer and then proceed on a tour of the museum learning the ins and outs about beer across Lisbon and other cities.

There is an up market restaurant attached to the museum where most people stop in for lunch after their tour. It鈥檚 notably expensive, and not recommended if you鈥檙e on a tight budget.

The beer side of the museum, however, sells affordable beers throughout the day. I recommend getting a table outside and enjoying some of the craft beers.

Groove Bar entertains well too; the bar plays more chilled, old school music compared to the wider surrounding establishments, and it鈥檚 not actually unreasonable to come here for a conversation over a drink with a friend.
