Gay Nitghtlife in Porto

Today, we're back in the north of Portugal in Porto and we'd like to recommend some nightspots, Gay Friendly and Gay.
The first is an establishment called the CASAL LOUNGE.  This club and restaurant is very classy and very Gay Friendly.
Located in one of the majestic historic buildings of the Avenida dos Aliados home now inside a cosmopolitan space that we cannot foresee from outside. The facade retains its grandeur of the old times, only drawing the attention of the people passing by two white vases with flowers that flank the doorway, and beyond which nothing can be seen, whetting our curiosity. Beyond the door, faces us an ample space with a high ceiling that allows a mezzanine, and a ceiling where a vintage chandelier coexists with a modern LED that changes continuously the hue of the space.

That´s Casal Lounge, a modern space with a broader concept, because it is not just a cafe, a patisserie, a bar or a restaurant but aims to combine in one place all of these strands. A contemporary decor, dark tones cut here and there by red, a mix of antiques and modern pieces, acrylic chairs together with leather and velvet sofas, huge curtains side by side with cities motifs wallpaper, music with chill out rythm, give the place the wanted lounge atmosphere. The First Floor restaurant deserves a special reference for the charm of the room, so bright and enlightening by five large windows facing the avenue, and a warm decor.

Once you have had dinner at the Casal Lounge, you'll want to continue your evening at the ZOOM DISCO.  It is the Gay Dance Club in Porto.

Bringing the public "homo" of Porto out of the closet and into the alley. This seems to be the goal of Zoom, disco GLS (Gays, Lesbians and Sympathizers) which opened with glow in the Alley of Passos Manuel, on March 4.

The nightclub, large, adapted from an old warehouse, features a sophisticated decor, in which tone is predominantly cold, with details, say, fetishists, intrudes a stylish vintage furniture. The huge walk right allows the existence, on the generous runway, a kind of bridges where the DJ act and encouraging service, dancers and / or strippers of both sexes, attracting the eyes (and stretching the neck) while dancing downstairs.

In another of these bridges, the one that customers can access, operates a branch of the shop fri House of Eros.

The bars, two, diagonally arranged, indicate the extremes of the track. Before the first is the lobby, then the second is another room, what you like - some say it is smoke, but you can smoke in the entire nightclub.

The bathrooms are like bunkers, shielded by thick doors and, inside, large and comfortable, on the border of sin. Perhaps therein lies the explanation of the metal crucifix that dominates the exterior wall.

The music fulfills the purpose of creating a living environment and danceable - a first choice selection pop, house after a crescendo, the freshness of the early '90s to the cross-tribal and progressive.
