Downstairs, Clube Sesimbrense is a social club for locals keen to learn new dance steps or musical skills but upstairs has been transformed into a funky bar and exhibition space with regular live DJ sessions spinning everything from jazz to obscure Brazilian tropicalia tracks.

Part of a food, drink, and wellness concept launched by French surf enthusiast Gregory Bernard, this colorful beachfront bar-restaurant attracts a sporty, sun-kissed crowd. There are decent tacos and other light meals on the menu, but the real reason to come is to linger over cocktails as the sun sets over Caparica. Live music, karaoke nights, and DJ sessions keep things lively after dark.
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.
