This restaurant/bar at the top of the Sheraton Hotel offers an excellent view of the city by night and the cocktails are fairly inexpensive (in comparison to other European capital cities).

Posssibly one of the best spots in Europe for a night out. Take the elevator up the hill to the Bairro Alto and wander through the lanes of bars, fado houses and clubs - fantastic on a weekend night when hundreds of people congregate on the streets drinking mojitos and cheap beer out of plastic cups, listening to music from samba to African rhythms. Don't expect to get home before four, or sober!

The best place in Lisbon for live Cape Verdian music - an atmospheric, crumbling old 16th-century mansion with a courtyard that's almost as busy as the main hall on summer nights. Fantastic.

A nightclub in Estoril, about 20km outside of Lisbon. Probably the best club I've been in. Sit on the beanbags on the decking outside with an exceedingly strong mojito and watch the sunrise. Then get on the first train back at 6.30am to Lisbon and to bed.

Tamariz Club: Estoril-tamariz;
Get a taxi from Lisbon to Estoril. It costs about £20, takes 30 mins, and is well worth it.
