Coming from Canada to Spain and Portugal with friends. Staying in Lisbon for a couple nights and decided to go out to a club to meet some new people and have a fun time experiencing night life in Lisbon. Lady at the door was hand selecting people to get into the establishment, Very rude. In Madrid and Porto we had no issues getting into the clubs. They even invited us into the club with discounted drinks and discounted cover. Overall an unimpressive experience. Would not recommend trying to go if you’re looking for a good night. Find places elsewhere

Very racist place; we have minority people they "don't like in our party" and everyone of us got kicked out of the queue because "they were closing". After that a lot of posh people were allowed to get in (not even at the invetees queue, just at "poor people queue"), and we weren't given just an explanation more than "we are closing and look to my uniform".

Last place I wanna b is this club . The girl in the entrance was so rude . Even for the girls they asked to pay 9€ each .that was fine n when we were trying to negotiate like we can give 5 each but we don’t want beer n she was like go find some other place if u wanna come come in otherwise please leave . No respect at all even the Dj was worst felt like he was just in the phrase of learning .

They act like they are like Berghain or something. But you can’t call this a techno club. Really bad people and bad vibes in this club. Really arrogant stuff! Don’t waste your time, better go to the club Kremlin in Lisbon.

(Translated by Google) Fraud. They try to rip you off constantly. The treatment to the client is terrible. The blonde at the entrance frightens the customers and tries to cheat. The entrance tends to cost 10 euros and comes with a supposed discount. When you ask for your first drink you realize that the prices are astronomical. In summary, a complete scam. (Original) Estafa. Intentan timarte constantemente. El trato al cliente es pésimo. La rubia de la entrada espanta a los clientes e intenta estafarte.

Worse club I've ever been to. Rude door lady and a fake line hold to make you think it's full and fun inside.. nope!.10 other people at midnight. They do this so you can pay the 12€ cover to go inside where you will see it's a ghost town. We wasted 24€, we left. Note to the owner, you need to hire better more pleasant people. As an example, we asked a simple honest question with an excited smile to the door lady "hi, how long is the wait?" Her response with a smirk? "Well...you are in line now aren't you?" That really set the tone of the place but I didn't listen to my gut n thought It's ok, don't let her attitude bother you. There is a reason why there's a line down the street for people trying to get into Pensao Amore right next door to you while your empty abysmally bad club has less than 15 people .

(Translated by Google) I bought two gift tickets for my boyfriend, and they wouldn't let me in, blonde girl at the super-judgmental, racist and bad-loved concierge, we stayed in an hour to get in and when my turn came (they just wouldn't let us in) they kicked me out like animals . Nightclub that wins over tickets it sells and doesn't let customers in. They threatened to call the police if I insisted on entering the house with tickets purchased. Lack of respect for customers, security guards and staff very rude. I spent 30 € and wouldn't let me watch the show. Thieves, scammers and mercenaries. The police need to do something about it. (Original) Comprei dois ingressos de presente para meu namorado, e não me deixaram entrar, moça loira na portaria super preconceituosa, racista e mau amada, ficamos 1 hora na fila para entrar e quando chegou minha vez (simplesmente não nos deixaram entrar) me expulsaram como animais. Casa noturna que ganha em cima dos ingressos que vende e não deixam os cliente entrar. Ameaçaram de chamar a polícia se eu insistisse em entrar na casa, sendo que tinha os ingressos comprados. Falta de respeito com os cliente, seguranças e staff muitos mau educandos. Gastei 30€ e não me deixarM assistir ao show. Ladroes, golpistas e mercenarios. A polícia precisa fazer algo a respeito.

I never write reviews but those guys made me.. entrance lady was rude as hell, and the DJ.. the worst transitions and music I heard in a long time, you should get this guy some DJ lessons.. it’s not worth the time, never coming there again

The security girl at the entrance is one mean uneducated b***h. She has some serious issues. Possibly a sadist. Overall the place is okay, nothing great. Staff is very rude. Such places don't last. There are far far better places in pink Street & Lisbon than musicbox.

Entrance fee was €12 per person. You got two beers or one drink. They give you two slips of paper “tickets”. Inside was dark - couldn’t really see the DJ either. Floor was dirty with spilled drinks and limes and straws. They were the only thing open late on Pink St while other clubs and bars were closed. DJ was playing techno. The bouncers here are rough. I saw the same shorter big guy get angry and actually hit someone outside. Don’t mess with them here. I dropped my cup by accident outside and bouncer kicked me out.

(Translated by Google) The blonde at the entrance is worse than Melisa the Hogar Social Madrid. They expelled us for being a large group. (Original) La rubia de la entrada es peor que Melisa la de Hogar Social Madrid. Nos expulsaron por ser un grupo multitudinario.

Great Club. We went there on a Thursday night and they played electronic music. Even though it was during the week the club got crowded around one/two o'clock. People were chilled and I liked very much that the bouncer filtered out drunken people. 12€ and two free beers is a great deal.

Empty club with completely overpriced bear priced 7 euro for one big bear 0.5. Don't go there. Impolite stuff as well

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the venue and a blonde attendant said I was drunk and could not enter, obs I do not drink ... I paid 30 euros to come and enjoy my show with my girlfriend who by the way was beaten by it just for being Brazilians I think, and It is sad that you are a foreigner in a country and treated with that level of arrogance of a woman who is pitiful because when you ran out of arguments you called the security guards. A pity because they lost not only me but many other friends of mine who already knew about our situation. (Original) Cheguei no local e uma atendente loira disse que eu estava bebado e não poderia entrar, obs eu não bebo... paguei 30 euros para entrar e curtir meu show com minha namorada que por sinal foi agredida pela mesma só por sermos brasileiros acho, e triste você ser estrangeiro em um país e ser tratado com esse nível de arrogância de uma mulher que é digna de pena pois quando ficou sem argumentos chamou os seguranças. Uma pena pois perderam não só eu como muitos outros amigos meus que já souberam da nossa situação.

It was awfull the guys in the door are so racisists. They noticed I was from Spain so after I got out they did not got me the thing to enter again. Then I was 2 hours outside because they didn’t let me in. If u are Spanish or Hispanic don’t get in. Racisicists if u don’t like spanish don’t be like that, bad behaviour, don’t be like that. Thanks.

Techno place, people come at 2 am only. No problem with that. But the security is always on your back:"Don't sit here !","Why?", "Just because i tell you so" there is 0 RESPECT for customers

Pretty cool club on Pink Street, went kind of early at midnight but was able to skip the line. We went on a Friday in August and the DJ was pretty bad...felt like he was learning how to mix songs while on stage. If there was someone who knew what they were doing we would've stuck around a lot longer. Staff and customers were all pretty friendly and the 2 beers with cover is a nice touch. Would definitely try again in the hopes of there being someone decent on stage.

Failed club due to incompetent manager who thinks he is someone special. playing with artists time, money and life.

Completly inappropriate security team, looking for confrontation instead of calming the situation. Overreaction and easy blow… to avoid, very sincerely.

Never go there, super racist

Not really my kind of club and unfortunately my Jacket was stolen ._. But the Staff is lovely and the Soundsystem is powerfull - maybe with different music [sound was too hardcore for me on that thursday] I'd give it another try.

Sunset rollercoaster performance! Excellent 👌🏻

(Translated by Google) I already acted there, and I attended good concerts. I recommend (Original) Já lá actuei, e assisti a bons concertos. Recomendo

Terrible place who rejects males for no apparent reason, avoid. Thirsty bouncers who are after validation from girls they wish to enjoy. Embarrassing

You got to wait in the line and probably have women with you but if you get in you'll have an incredible time! We stayed until the sun rose and had the best night of our trip

Thu/18 Aug about 2:15 am I got in line, which moved fast. Nice door lady explained that they close at 6 am, currently it's afro-beats but later that morning music switches to something else (I can't remember...trance?), and that the Euro 10 cover charge includes 2 beers or 1 long drink. Cool bartenders. Glad i checked it out this club.

Great atmosphere. Friendly and cool people. Mixed crowd. Reasonable entry prices. We visited on Saturday night and there was house music playing. We enjoyed the music a lot more on the Sunday when they played a mix of soul, disco, funk and blues.

One of the best and more diverse houses around. Cool cats here. Good music. Though it's hugely crowed there. Sound could be better. Also the smoke extraction and air conditioning could be working always. Not just when people complaint. Hope all is better now on this department.

Can’t get in without any reason given. Seems like they just don’t ever let in foreigners

Fun! Great music, loved the venue! Was there last Sunday with the staff of my hostel, was very surprised with the venue under the bridge. Love the rock!

Don't let males in who aren't with girls

If you are British then don’t bother. They don’t want you there and will treat you with nothing but contempt. Awful.

At this was open until 6am I was expecting something a but dodgy but it turned out to be a really nice venue with good sound. One night was playing funk and soul. Another night was a busier Erasmus and pub crawl night and it was packed. The DJ played a bit of dance then hip-hop then pop so catered to all tastes. The bar staff are a bit weird. My friend tried to pay on card and was told she needed ID to do so. She didn't have any so the barmaid poured two rum and cokes (worth 14 euros) down the sink! Why not just give it to her/take the card payment?!

(Translated by Google) I can not recommend unfortunately. Bad sound, bad bouncers, too expensive and above all very bad DJ. (Original) Kann ich leider gar nicht empfehlen. Schlechter Sound, schlechte Türsteher, zu teuer und vor allem sehr schlechter DJ.

I've enjoyed here a great concert! Nice light effects and friendly staff.

8 euros for a mostly empty venue and a pretty boring band.

(Translated by Google) Insulted by the bouncer for no reason. I strongly recommend this bar !!! (Original) Insulté par le videur sans aucune raison. Je deconseille très fortement ce bar !!!

It was ok I guess. 12€ entry fee but you got 2 beer or 2 shots (or one cocktail) for free so it was a good deal. However, the music was rather mediocre and they basically didn’t take recommendations. I asked for a song 4 times and they only played one of my requested songs. The music was mainly Portuguese which is quite annoying considering it is full of tourists.. we didn’t know like 80% of the songs so it was pretty wack. Supposedly it was a drag night so we expected some show but in the end there was one drag queen who just stood behind the DJ desk and danced once every fifth song. When she did performed tho it was nice. This was also recommended by the bartender in our hostel so we were even more disappointed. We came at 1 AM and the place was still pretty empty. It filled up towards 2 AM but it wasn’t crowded. I think, considering how empty it was, they should have listened to recommendations more. We would have probably stayed longer of the music wasn’t so one sided. In conclusion, it’s cheap if you like beer and want to listen to music and dance but probably not worth it if you don’t know Portuguese songs and don’t drink.

(Translated by Google) Unique Lisbon club open all week. varied programming Price varies depending on the day or the head. (Original) Unique club de Lisbonne ouvert toute la semaine. programmation variée Prix variable selon le jour ou la tête.

Disgusting place

Great atmosphere - especially for live music. Very friendly and welcoming.

Not worth the hype, I didn’t enjoy it last night. Better drink else where

Told they had live music on Friday night by the doorman at 21:00. Paid £20 for me and partner to go into an empty place with no bands or music. Waited an hour for something to liven up, gave up and asked the staff if we could come back later seem as we already paid entry and were told there was live music. Doorman said we would have to pay to come back later. Waste of time, waste of money

They should not organise concerts if they don't respect the artists. 2 times I went for a concert and both times they rush the end (yesterday the singer said that the had 4 songs left but they were told to leave because there was a dj). First time we were all pushed to leave also. Also we doubt about the drinks as my husband had only 1 gin in the whole night and the following day we felt the worst hangover ever. Not correct guys...

Nice place. Baile tropicante with good music. But too many males.

Unique place and location, they offer a big variety of live concerts and music genres. Drinks are not cheap but still its a must visit location for anyone that loves music. Vintage look inside. Entrance requires a ticket purchase but its usually from 6-10euros.

Very good DJ on the night I visited. Arrived at 3am left at 5:30am. No problem with security, very friendly. Arrived with a group of 10. Entry was €15 with any 2 free drinks of your choice included. Shots for €3/€3.50. Air conditioned party room, only 1 dance floor. In general a good atmosphere. Would recommend.

-5 stars - the behaviour of the réception was NOT correct, disrespestful agents at the gate, been there one week before the customer expérience was different though. Will explain that in private easily

We go in, the Dj was amazing. Then we go outside and to have a smoke. They didn’t let us back in. Even if we paid the entrance fee. So I told of the bouncer off and left. Believe it or not, he came after me even if I left the place and punched me! I will file a complaint because evidence is in the cameras! Amazing place but the bouncer had no respect! Beware! If you attack a bouncer, he’s allowed to defend him self, but if your walking away, it’s an attack!

Went last night. Great for a 18-23 year olds. Crowd is verrrrry young, but nice, cool vibes. Didn’t feel super touristy (no lads on tour/clean-girl-coquette insta chicks) - thank God! Haha I liked the actual venue - despite it being on Pink Street. It’s quite small, but good setup/layout with stage, dance floor, accessible bar and dark lighting. €16 entrance with 2 free drinks. Door lady and security were really nice to us: me - mixed-race (black/white) and boyfriend - white, both British. Observed that they did turn away (politely) any large groups (5+) but let in anyone in 2’s and 3’s. So just queue in smaller, non-rowdy groups. Simple. Didn’t stay long as the crowd was soooo young, but DJ was good and there was an unexpected rap battle. Sadly don’t speak Portuguese yet, so no idea what they were saying, but it was great! Ha. Would return for a bigger event - show or DJ, with an anticipated older crowd.

Got assaulted by the security. We got assaulted by the security guards for dancing out front. They stole my friend's phone when he tried to film what was happening, and made another delete the video of them assaulting us. Our noses were bleeding

The bouncer was aggressive, and did not let me or my friend in simply because he did not like the look of us. Our other friends got in and they said it wasn't worth the 30 minutes in the line or the 20€ they paid to get in.

First time I tried to enter the club I was in like and started talking to a group of 4-5 drunk Irish men. It was about 2:30am and the line was long. After waiting 30 min I was at the very front of the line. Unfortunately 1 Irish person cut the line and another group of people behind me complained to the bouncer. The bouncer kicked all the Irish people out of the line and then tried kicking me out just because I was white and I looked like them! I told them I was not with that group I was simply talking to them (I had a different accent of course too I was American). The group also explained to the bouncer that I was not with them. The bouncer shook his head and told me I had to leave even though I had done nothing wrong. It was reverse racism since I was white and they kicked every person out that looked Irish. I tried several times to convince the bouncer but not wanting to cause a scene I left. Crazy as it sounds I decided to give things another try and came back a few weeks later this time earlier at 12:00 midnight and the place was empty. No trouble getting in. I paid 12 euros and got a free drink. Based on other reviews this place starts getting busy around 1 or 2am so I’d recommend going around then. The music was actually pretty good although a bit different.

(Translated by Google) Pretty music, not bad location. (Original) Musica carina, location non male.

Tricky policy to actually get in but if you do get in (don't go in big groups of one sex) then it's pretty nice in there. Drinks are pretty expensive (cheaper before 1am) and it only gets busy later on so it's a bit quiet early doors. But they have good bands and DJs on and it's a 'cool' crowd. It's a small place though and gets full of smoke, still takes some getting used to if you're from the UK. Worth a look though if you're in a couple and want something different.

What is it? It's one of the city's most interesting venues, with a regular programme of rock bands, electronic live acts, singer-songwriters and DJ sets (all night on Fridays). Why go? The managers of this key club in Cais do Sodré have music industry connections and exploit them creditably. Note that some shows may start as late as 2am; for details, check the website, which is comprehensive. The space has an underground feel and look (it's literally beneath steep Rua do Alecrim) and is located in what was once one of Lisbon's seediest streets - and is now one of its buzziest at night. Don’t miss: You’re at the nightlife district, enjoy the rhythm of the night.

Price for same drink was changing to a higher price with every round.

Very bad music, in my opinion. Bad ambient inside. Not worth it, overrated.

We had a nice time.

(Translated by Google) The girl at the entrance was a bad mannered, she seemed to be in charge, she has not spoken with contempt and despotism that we do not understand. We still paid ten euros for the entrance, but if we went outside to smoke outside, he wouldn't let us in. They don't put a stamp or anything on you. Then they charge you 7 euros for a cuba in a small plastic base. A crap site! (Original) La chica de la entrada era una mal educada, parecía la encargada, no ha hablado con un desprecio y un despotismo que no entendemos. Aún así pagamos diez euros por la entrada, pero si salíamos a fumar fuera no nos dejaba entrar. No te ponen sello ni nada. Luego te cobran 7 euros por un cubata en una basó pequeño de plástico. Una mierda de sitio!!!!

Went to see to see Tim baker, awesome aucustic, drinks where reasonable priced, absolutely hate that smoking was allowed, the smell is unbearable. But I'd definitely go again to see a concert as the sound is amazing!

Dry.

Please avoid this place if you are looking for a serious electronic music venue. The djs were really good but the crowd was 90% drunk tourists what made it difficult to enjoy. Even worse was the security at the door, which acted violent with me. Will not come back. I am just sorry for the talented djs.

(Translated by Google) yheaaa (Original) yheaaa

Greaaaaat music! Mostly classic club songs with some edm, but the dj had some great transitions and it was a really fun atmosphere to dance under the old cobblestone arches! Was kind of emptier, but the people who were there were having fun. Paid a 15 euro cover, which got us 1 mixed drink or 2 beers.

I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to visit Musicbox in Lisboa, and I must say, it was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. I wouldn't wish this place upon my worst enemy. Allow me to elaborate on the numerous reasons why my visit to Musicbox was a complete disaster. First and foremost, the doorman and doorlady at this establishment were astonishingly rude and biased. It felt as though they derived immense pleasure from exerting their power over innocent patrons. Their demeanor was unwelcoming and abrasive, leaving a sour taste in my mouth before I even set foot inside. Speaking of which, the interior of Musicbox is nothing short of a claustrophobic nightmare. The space is small and ridiculously crowded, making it impossible to move around without constantly bumping into fellow unfortunate souls who made the mistake of entering. If you value personal space or dislike being uncomfortably close to sweaty strangers, then Musicbox is your worst nightmare come true. Furthermore, the atmosphere inside the venue was utterly disappointing. The dim lighting did nothing to mask the sense of suffocation one feels in such cramped quarters. The combination of poor ventilation and overwhelming body heat emitted by the tightly packed crowd made it feel like I was trapped in a sauna of bad taste and awful decisions. To add insult to injury, the sound quality at Musicbox was abysmal. The music was so distorted and muffled that I found myself questioning if there was actually a talented artist performing on stage or a cacophony of noise emanating from some broken speakers. It was impossible to fully enjoy any performance in this dreadful sonic mess. If you have any semblance of self-respect or value your sanity, I implore you to steer clear of Musicbox. This place is a breeding ground for hostility, discomfort, and disappointment. I can only hope that the owners and staff at Musicbox take the time to reflect on their abysmal treatment of patrons and make drastic improvements before it's too late. In conclusion, Musicbox in Lisboa is an establishment that should be avoided at all costs. The unfriendly doorman and doorlady, cramped and crowded interior, lackluster atmosphere, and abysmal sound quality all contribute to an overall experience that is nothing short of torturous. Save yourself the agony and seek entertainment elsewhere.

Good music

Let me start by saying i was really excited to go to music box due to all the tik toks i had seen about them playing house music and afrobeat. The first night we tried to go they werent opened at 11pm (the time it says it opens) but no problem we came back. Upon arrival the girl at the door almost had an attitude to try to “convince” us not to go in? weird. All the staff from the coat check to the bartenders were rude. The music seem satanism… not really techno but scary techno. Wouldn’t recommend but maybe they were off that night.

Went there on a Saturday night. Probably the worst music I've ever heard in my life at a nightclub

This is one of the racist club in Europe. Being a tourist from London we went continuous two days but refuse to enter in club. We observe for two hours ,security guards were only stopping Asian people and only allowed to enter white people in club. We question to bouncer and ask him to give reason of refusal to entry,he tried to fight and being rude with us. We request him that we want to talk to manager ,he rudely said that" I am the manager". We are wondering that how racism is happening in Europe with tourists.i recommended all tourist and companies to raise this issue to authorities. This is unfair and discrimination and wasting time of tourists.

Dont like English, and boys. You were only let in if you were Portuguese or a female. The club is xenophobic and don’t like any tourists. We spoke to multiple different people who weren’t allowed in and it was all for the same reason. We also saw clearly Portuguese let in and no one else.
