DK Travel : The Algarve : Central Region : Bars & Nightclubs

Avenida Tomás Cabreira, Praia da Rocha

One of the first tourist resorts in the Algarve, with a long esplanade crammed with glitzy bars and trendy nightclubs.
Gecko Club, Vale do Lobo

With an Antoni Gaudí-style interior, this is a truly inspired late-night option.
Hotel Algarve Casino, Praia da Rocha

The first hotel-casino in Portugal is situated in a prime position. There’s a fabulous slot machines room with 322 of the latest game stations.
Kadoc, Vilamoura

The biggest club in the Algarve draws thousands of revellers to its wild summer parties. Guests bump and grind on five tiered dance floors under a blaze of multicoloured light. See Clubs and Late-Night Bars.
Katedral, Praia da Rocha

Popular late-night dance venue and a hit with both young business professionals and tuned-in youth. The music reflects whatever’s current, but with the base level way off the dial. See Clubs and Late-Night Bars.
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.
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!
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.
