Kiss, Albufeira

Possibly the best-known nightclub in Portugal. Attracting a mixed 20-something crowd, its resident and guest DJs spin a funky mix of house and hip-hop. See Clubs and Late-Night Bars.
Kiss, Albufeira

Arguably the most famous of all the Algarve nightclubs, Kiss is known for its memorable party nights and zany theme festivals. Three dance floors reverberate to cutting-edge house, techno and hip-hop, attracting seasoned clubbers from all over the continent. Kiss starts to smoulder around 3am and is still sizzling at dawn.
Liberto’s, Albufeira

One of the must-see nightclubs, rivalling Kiss in popularity. Football and TV stars number among its summertime clientele. The esplanade (a favourite location for fashion shows) is replete with swimming pool and palm trees. Inside, a giant screen relays 24-hour cable TV broadcasts. By midnight, however, the DJ takes centre stage and the speakers positively shudder with sound.
Locomia, Albufeira

Dubbed “Music Heaven” by seasoned clubbers, Locomia rules near Santa Eulália beach and rivals the best of them for sound and atmosphere. Boasting two big dance floors, revellers rejoice to cult DJ mixes. Friday night is Techno night, Saturday is House.
Melting Pot, Quinta do Lago

Jolly, English pub-style bar and restaurant heaving with jovial locals, seasoned expatriates and sunburnt tourists.
Oficina Bar, Carvoeiro

A great late-night bar with a loyal following.Oficina means garage, relating to the décor, not the music. Cocktail shots must be downed in one!
Round Up Saloon, Carvoeiro

The Round Up looks and feels like a Texas saloon, where “outlaws” are locked up in a jail on the whim of Big Will the bartender and freed only on the promise of a beer. Live rock music is on most nights, and budding musicians are encouraged to jam. At weekends the karaoke cavalry arrives.
Stevie Ray’s Blues Jazz Bar, Lagos

Toe-tapping live jazz on Saturday nights lifts this already excellent late-night bar to new heights. The atmosphere is pure Dixie, with the music varying from blues to mellow swing. Smart/casual dress code.
Vilamoura Casino

Sophisticated gaming room with baccarat, Portuguese dice, roulette (French and American), blackjack and 500 big-jackpot slot machines. The Mira Lago Room stages world-class music and dance.
Vilamoura Marina

A multitude of bars, eateries and late-night shopping. Spectacular firework displays round off many a long summer evening.
