The area between Tv dos Fiéis de Deus and Rua da Salgadeira along Rua da Barroca is known as the city’s gayborhood and concentrates most of the gay Lisbon nightlife. It is known for its bohemian vibe and great range of excellent bars and restaurants. Lisbon’s neighborhoods are not as clearly defined as some other cities, but there are a few areas throughout the city that make up the itinerary for most tourists.īairro Alto – The main nightlife area of Lisbon, situated on a hill that overlooks the rest of the city (the name literally means “high neighborhood”). It is located near the Marques de Pombal statue on Avenida da Liberdade. The entry price is a bit steep (€30 for 6 hours) but the sauna is designed to provide a high-end, luxury experience. It is very much cruising-oriented, featuring dark rooms, glory holes, sling, private rooms, and an erotic cinema as well as state-of-the-art sauna and massage facilities. The other sauna, SaunApolo 56, labels itself an “LGBT mixed hetero-friendly” sauna, meaning it is for everyone and has an “anything goes” vibe. It offers great sauna and massage facilities as well as private cabins, dark room labyrinth, sex lounge, live sex show, and even a fetish shop. The men-only gay Lisbon sauna is Trombeta Bath, a modern, clean, and well-designed sauna in Bairro Alto.
Both saunas are top-of-the-range modern affairs, although they cater to different audiences. There are only two gay saunas in Lisbon, with much of the city’s cruising happening in bars and at the gay beach south of the city. Bairro Alto is not just a gay area but a general nightlife district, so the crowds in the street tend to be mixed. During the summer, most of the drinking is done standing outside the bars on the street, which gives Bairro Alto a distinct street festival vibe most nights of the week. Locals won’t leave the house until around midnight and will then have a few drinks in a bar to start them off. The nightlife in gay Lisbon doesn’t get going until very late (bars from midnight and clubs from 2 am) and continues until the early morning. Back in Bairro Alto, Finalmente is a long-standing clubbing institution featuring drag shows and a packed dance floor every night of the week. Nearby, Construction is another hotspot catering to a slightly older audience, especially bears. Gay Lisbon’s main clubs are also in Principe Real, with Trumps being the largest and most popular.
Popular bars here include The Cock, a cruising bar with epic parties that keep going until 8 am TR3S, a bear bar which hosts the city’s annual Bear Pride and Bar 106, a slightly old-fashioned gay bar that prides itself on being one of the city’s oldest. However, the nearby area of Principe Real has just as much claim to the title of gay Lisbon neighborhood. This contains several gay bar favorites like Setimo Ceu (great for grabbing a drink and standing outside), Elitico (featuring pole dancing and go-go shows), and Purex (mixed gay and lesbian, with more girls than boys).
The main gay area is a small block of streets in Bairro Alto along Rua da Barroca, especially between Tv dos Fiéis de Deus and Rua da Salgadeira. The nightlife of gay Lisbon is smaller than that of many other European cities, but there is still a noticeable gay presence. Gay Lisbon’s main clubs are in Principe Real, with Trumps being the largest and most popular.
