Best Nightlife in Portimao

Drink colourful cocktails at The Manhattan Bar

This hideaway is down south towards {:Praia da Rocha}, with an interior decked out in exposed brickwork and Americana. A rainbow of affordable cocktails are the order of the day here, and they’re as much about carefully crafted flavours as they are about style.

Rock on at Bar Marginalia

With its ceiling arches and stonework, there’s a gothic undercurrent to Bar Marginalia, but don’t let that fool you. This is Portimao’s premier rock bar, where live music is always blasting. From bands to DJs, there’s a good mix of genres here, but the screaming guitars are what make the most unforgettable nights.

Chat with the friendly staff of Absolutely Cocktail Lounge Bar

Curvy furniture and groovy lighting set up the modern and spacious Absolutely Cocktail Lounge Bar, although people don’t just come here for the decor. As the name suggests, cocktails are what they do best here, and the staff know their stuff, as well as befriending everyone who comes through the door.

Drink in style at Something Else Lounge

Black furniture and red walls set the tone for sublime evenings spent over finely crafted cocktails. It’s a favoured meeting place for friends planning their next adventure in the city.

Dance all night at Bar Diagonal

Open until the early hours, Bar Diagonal evokes the feeling of a hidden hotspot through its use of mood lighting and shimmering floor tiles. The good music and top range of tipples give the bar as much substance as style, so don’t expect to leave before sunrise.

Get groovy at Boogie Bar

Cool colours and warm smiles grace evenings spent at Boogie Bar, where every kind of visitor is given something to do. Wannabe starlets have the chance to indulge in some karaoke, sports fans have a choice of screens to watch the match on, and the laid-back feel of the place makes it easy to unwind.
