The Lagos pub crawl
A pub crawl through the old town of Lagos, Portugal, built for backpackers and solo travellers. Bars, drinking games and a club finish, on Friday, Saturday and Monday nights through the season.
How the night runs
- Message us on WhatsApp to reserve a spot. No app, no booking page, no deposit.
- Arrive at Banana Beach House, Estr. da Ponta da Piedade 23, 8600-544 Lagos, Portugal, between 20:00 - 20:45. Meet inside the reception area.
- We leave at 20:45. Turn up before that or you will miss the group.
- Bars first, then a club. Venues change night to night depending on what is busy, so no two crawls are the same.
- Stay as long as you like. Nobody is counting heads at the end.
What usually happens
- Pubs, bars and clubs around Lagos old town
- Boat parties (when the season lines up)
- Beer pong and beer bongs
- Shot challenges and drinking games
- Group photos sent the next day
- Meeting other backpackers and travellers
None of that is a fixed itinerary. The point of a crawl in a town this small is that the host reads the night: which bars are full, where the music is right, when to move. Some nights are a beer pong marathon and some nights are a straight run to the club.
Price and payment
Message us for tonight's price. Paid on the night, in person. Anything you buy at the bar for yourself is separate, and Lagos drink prices are reasonable by Western European standards. Bring some cash as well as a card — smaller places still prefer it and card machines have bad nights.
Who comes
The crowd is mostly 18-30 and heavily international: Australians, Brits, Germans, Canadians, Dutch, Americans, and a steady flow of people working their way along the Portuguese coast. Most arrive alone. If you are travelling solo and reading this wondering whether you will be the only one, you will not be — that is the standard case rather than the exception.
Rules we actually enforce
- 18+ only, and venues may ask for ID at any point in the night.
- We can refuse or remove anyone who turns up already too drunk. It protects the night for everyone else and keeps the bars on side.
- Look after each other. Nobody gets left behind between venues.
- Keep the noise down on residential streets. Lagos is a town people live in.
Season
We run April to October. Outside those months the town is quiet, most of the late venues cut their hours or close, and a crawl would not be worth your money. If you are planning a winter trip, come back in spring.
