Damas

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


Part restaurant, bar and alternative concert hall, Damas has given the cool kids a reason to climb the hill to Graça since its opening in 2015. From DJs spinning electronica to African and indie rock bands, there's always an eclectic mix of sound here and it's often free.
