4 Best Bars in Cascais and Boca do Inferno, Sintra, the Estoril Coast, and the Setúbal Peninsula

This soulful little bar presents live jazz, blues, and bossa nova jams and performances. Its diminutive size belies the quality of the musicians that it features.

Right on the sand at Praia da Conceição, this is one of the most emblematic beach bars in town. The perfect spot for a sundowner while nibbling on petiscos and watching beach life go by. Shake off a heavy head in the morning with a late breakfast, followed by a nap on the lounge chairs.

Just a few steps from Cascais’ town hall is this cozy bar dedicated to natural wines. The Russian owners opened the original branch in Lisbon, but this one is much more spacious, so you can hunker down for a drink and nibble on anything from pulled-pork sandwiches to creamy Basque cheesecake (classic and chocolate-based).

On hot summer nights, patrons of this English-style restaurant-pub spill out into the square. A log fire in the lounge keeps things cozy when the weather turns chilly.
