Be part of a jam session at Tejo Bar

What is it? Tejo Bar is an alternative, informal place with a handful of tables with low seats and shelves loaded with books and board games.

Why go? Its Brazilian owner, nicknamed Mané do Café, is an amateur artist, novelist and poet, and presides over daily readings. Anyone may strum the house guitar (but don’t clap: patrons instead rub their hands together to show their appreciation, thus minimising noise). The bar has many regulars – who help themselves to drinks, noting down what they’ve taken – but it’s also a magnet for students and musicians.

Don’t miss: Mané is incapable of throwing people out, so the place sometimes closes after 5am.
