Gay Bar 106

Gay bar 106 has been part of Lisbon's gay scene for over 18 years, offering a variety of fun nights out. Amongst shows and game nights you're bound to find an event for you. All events are designed to make you feel welcome and help you meet new people, perfect for tourists looking to immerse themselves in the gay scene. Friendly staff and clientele make this place feel like home.

One of the longest standing gay clubs in Europe and the largest in Portugal, Trumps truly offers something for everyone. Across two dance floors you'll find people dancing to house and pop, and at the three bars you can sample an amazing range of drinks. Friday is popular with a younger crowd while on Saturday nights the space is full of older guys, but Trumps welcomes everyone any night of the week.

Purex is a fun and trendy club in the heart of the gay district, welcoming a mixed crowd but proving especially popular with gay guys. The space perfectly combines a uniquely artsy decor with a cosy vibe, plus a tiny dance floor that's packed every night of the week. DJs and cocktails complete your night so you can dance till morning. The club also provides a summer full of themed nights to keep visitors entertained.

Catering to the bear community with a friendly atmosphere and a room full of friendly guys, Shelter Bar is a popular staple on Lisbon's gay scene. For those who enjoy a drink, the bar offers a great selection of wines, gins, and craft beers. Regular bear and drag events keep everyone entertained, while if you're looking for a more relaxed evening then there's the newly opened Shelter Coffee & Gallery that serves Italian snacks and smoothies.

For a decidedly more relaxed and low-key approach to the gay scene, spend an afternoon at Rendezvous. This is a gay-owned cafe and restaurant, with a bar that serves an excellent selection of wine and is proud of its local roots. The kitchen cooks up a great variety of tapas and traditional Portuguese food, so you can visit and enjoy lunch in a super accepting and diverse space.

Owned by the same group that brings you Woof X, Construction caters to bears of all kinds but welcomes anyone. The club spreads across three floors, with the top floor being a secluded cruising space where you can get the know the guys you've met. The other floors have a modern dance club atmosphere, home to guest DJs and hosting lively parties, bringing ever more exciting concepts to the club.
