Can anybody suggest bars or clubs in Lisbon for the more mature (older !!) people please ?
I feel even older in bars that are full of teenagers !
Thanks

it's supposed to work on the flipside of the psyche
Lisbon has a gamut of bars of all kinds. What type and what interests you in particular?
Go up to the bohemian neighborhood of Bairro Alto where you'd find all different kinds...just look around for your kind.

I'd like to know what you find as I am looking for the same sorta place. We are doing the same train in and out from Madrid and will have an evening in Lisbon.
Let us know what you found that suited ya...I'd be very interested as we will have a few early evening hours before the 2230 train back up from Est. Apolina.

Thanks Solodancer
Bairro Alto was excellent.
I still felt a bit old but there was a great atmosphere around the place and really cheap beer !
Brendan, glad to hear you made it a point to go up and explore Bairro Alto.
I gather you had a most memorable time in Lisbon.
The city tho sedate and slow-giving at first glance has great hidden nooks and treasures perfect for ambling and random explorations.
It deserves many return visits for sure.
PRACA DO COMÈRCIO
Usually all visitors start their visit at Praca do Comércio, so did we (but arrived with the metro, not with the boat!!)

The Parque das Nações is located in the eastern part of the city of Lisbon, straddling the Lisbon and Loures city limits.
If you want to get there by metro, then take the Oriente Line (the Red Line) and the stop is Oriente.
Funny looking house of Casa do Bicos is famous for its facade stones cut in diamonds.
Not one of the most beautiful buildings I´ve seen, but...funny.
Just to tell You that Casa do Bicos in Lisbon, Portugal, is not just important because of its shape. It's specially because of its history.
Many wealthy families lived there even during the time of discoveries.
In 1755, the 'Lisbon Great Earthquake' as some call it, destroyed almost all Lisbon (and almost all Portugal, south of Spain, north Morocco... and many other places in Europe... the earthquake was felt from Norway to Italy but it's centre was in Lisbon: some waves were felt in the other side of the ocean...).
This house was one of the few that remained of all glorious Lisbon of then...
Thank you BRANCO for this additional info!
Before we headed to Lisbon I read that the food wasn't the greatest. Hence I was expecting to be disappointed....thankfully it wasn't that bad! Maybe we picked the right restaurants and the right meals....but all in all we enjoyed what we ate.
One thing we didn't try...though I was tempted...was the salted cod. Have a look at the picture and see if you think you would eat it. It is a speciality, so I should have tried it...next time perhaps.
The highlight though, food wise, was definitely the small custard tarts, known locally as pasteis de nata. They are everywhere and they are good.
Drinks wise, I can highly recommend sampling some Portuguese wine. We had a tasty red with lunch one day and a very good (and cheap) white wine once night. We also enjoyed a couple Sagres beers - tasty.
Alex also sampled some very nice Port, which of course is a must do when in Portugal, the home of Port! He enjoyed it so much he bought some at the airport to bring home and enjoy.
Coffee was another good thing about Lisbon - we enjoyed many a bica (small black coffee), it was strong and not at all bitter. Bad news for decaf drinkers though - and I am normally one of them....the only decaf they appeared to have in Lisbon was Nescafe instant decaf....not the greatest.
The Luz Stadium (Stadium of Light) is home of Benfica and is the largest of the 7 stadia used during Euro 2004. It has a capacity of 65,000 and creates a wonderful atmosphere when full (especially if 40,000 are from England).
